    While I have my preferences, I often change my mount according to the place I travel to (if I stay for a longer time) - I have so many mounts from giveaways, free crown crates, new chapter releases, etc, after all. So I used a wolf during the Greymoor chapter, and a camel while travelling Elsweyr (I don't think I have a Senche-raht, also riding on some random Khajiit's brother or son seems a bit creepy to me ;) ).

    Yeah, I use a guar when I'm in Vvardenfell.

    Horse
    My characters have been riding 700-crown "plain black horse" since 2016.

    (my Ice Princess Nord Sorc w/event crystal skin finally got me to get a single Indrik, the snow one. But I rarely play her. The various mounts I got from free crown crates have only been pulled out once each, to mount them and say "yeah, looks bad.")

    I have a lot of characters and using a variety of mounts.
    Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)
    Might be joking in comments.

    I'm not much of a lore fan, but from what I read they were more reptilian, & the durzog mounts are actually modified through goblin magic in the womb.

    Under mount collections I believe ZOS has them under canines though.

    I like wolves myself or more unusual mounts. I also found one senche mount that looks like an actual kitty cat

    That last part was my point... Not talking about lore as almost all mounts are lore fuzzy at best (aside from horses and more normal animals that won't rip your face off)

    But the animations are the same as the wolf.

    Heavyweights
    I like all mount types honestly and am glad for the variety (and my characters do make use of that variety), but I definitely have some preferred ones:
    • For smoothest animation and ride? Felines, which is what I prefer to use when running around Cyrodiil.
    • For personal taste of animals? Canines and Equines. Unfortunately, some animation and/or model issues (for both rider and mount) prevent me from enjoying them as much as I normally would.
    • For my overall favorite? I have found that I am really drawn to the Heavyweights, or more accurately, Senche-rahts. There's some awkwardness to them for sure, but the overall look and feel of running around on a Senche-raht while exploring or questing is just plain fun to me.

      (Something I like to do is put on the Wraith-of-Crows polymorph (to make my mounts huge) and the Kollopi Essence disguise (to effectively be invisible) to make it seem as though I'm playing a Senche-raht character instead of just riding one. Lack of mounted combat, many dismount triggers, and tons of areas that don't allow mounts prevent this from being truly immersive, but I'll take what I can get!)

    Bear
    My totes fav is the New Moon Bear, even if bears' riding animation is weird as heck.
    Next goes welwa, which, I think has similar animation to cats and is very smooth.
    Next are horsies.

    Honorary mention to guar jumps.

    I think they are the only mounts with a smooth running animation, the rest look stiff and clunky imo

    Senche as Khajiit but my tanks run the heavyweight to carry the armor, and they are also Khajiit but they feel less fluid and would not use them in Cyrodil.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
