Okok, hear my out:
Imagine yourself as an awesome warden, your out adventuring, but your bear is tired and falling way behind you, because your mount runs at the speed of light and your bear aint got no rocket strapped to his buttcheeks so, its hard out there for him.
What can you do? ..Well now heres your solution: 2-seater mount that you can also slot your bear into:

I mean, look at this happy bear, hes such a good boi, breezing along the wind with you. I think your adventure just got much better, I think ZoS needs to consider his feelings and understand that hes got needs aswell.

I give you some photo editing skills to see, but I promise, you could do much better than me at this. I think we need this, there hasn't been a new bear skin in years for him, he aint got no armor and hes out there slapping people around with his fluffyness showing.
This is the bear upgrade we've all been waiting for. Don't let me down.
The people and the friends we have lost... ...or the dreams that have faded... Never forget them.
