Lizard mounts can have HORNS!

So I discovered something after looking at the new lizard mounts in the Xanmeer crates. Because I was VERY skeptical, at first...

But then I noticed the mount upgrades for them. Normally, we just see armor. Not so with these guys...instead, they get HORNS.

Some have head horns.

Some have snout horns.

Not sure how many will find horns a HUGE difference in terms of changing how they look, but I figured it was at least worth mentioning because I wasn't ware of this previously.

    Okay, now THAT is awesome. This fine detail is the difference between me being "meh" at these mounts to actually kind of wanting one!

    It's the stamina upgrade, meaning you can toggle it on and off whenever you want.

    I actually quite like them, but I won't be getting them because it seems we're not getting free crates any more and I don't do gambling with real money. Also the one I like best is the bear and I can't stand their running animation.

    Cool! I checked through the mounts after this and it is all of them.

    INVENTORY: they just get the little bags, pretty standard
    STAMINA: they get horns
    SPEED: they get fins along their legs

    you don't need need to buy with real money, buy 15 crates cost you between 800k - 1.125m
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    Which is slightly more than double the most gold I've ever had at one time. I really don't want them enough to spend that much, and it still means ZOS is getting real money for gambling, it's just little bit more indirectly.

    True. Imagine a Nix-Ox done that way though, it would look pretty cool.

    That's a very cool detail about the horns. I love these new friends.

    Not liking those mounts.
    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    By the way, does anyone know what the speed upgrade is? I can't see any difference in the preview but I don't know if there isn't one or if I'm just missing it.

    They get extra "fins" on the backs of their legs.

    They also have tongues, I wish if argonians have such adorments.

    The bear one looks like a regular bear but with leprosy from behind anyhow. It was really disappointing as that's the view you are stuck with. A green bear arse. They didn't even lengthen the tail.

    I just managed to see the lizard guar in-game, and his little tongue flicks out like a snake! I love it. Sadly I didn't get any mounts in the few crates I bought.

    I am still amazed at the hate towards the xanmeer crates and the apex mounts of it.

    The lizard mounts look like freaking dinosaurs! Who wouldn't want to ride that into battle!?????

    Granted, I never understood the hate towards the Wild Hunt apex mounts either and I freaking love those. Clearly my personal taste in mounts is superior to the majority hahahahaha ;)

    I mean, there’s nothing that I want from the new crown crates, and I wish the lizard mounts had just a bit more color on them so they weren’t so.... green. Like a lighter belly, darker back or something.
