Greetings!

It's one of my favorite features, and when I get one of Apex or Radiant Apex mounts and check if they have trail effects, I hurry to observe their new actions in my houses <3

There are lot of cool idles for many mount types, and two recent Feline-based mounts have some of the best idles in my opinion (and very fitting to their looks). I spent 40 minutes trying to combine them, so that they would appear as an actual interaction between these creatures. At first you can see each idle separately, then they are combined:

Sadly, currently all idles are totally random, so the fact that I got even 1 time to make them perform in combo was extremely lucky! Please, add an option to manually select when mounts play their idle animations! This would make it possible to organize some interesting scenes :)

These combos were also very difficult to capture:

And of course, I would love the ability to assign these idle animations to every other mount of the same body type if I own the original mount with this idle animation! <3
If two cool metallic Feline beasts can perform such smooth and powerful actions, every other Senche mount which I own should have the ability to use these animations as well. This would add even more fun to observing them in houses! My visually favorite mount is old and has no special idle animation at all :'(

I have old thread, but I hope that nowadays is good time to actually implement these features.

p.s.
in the past every mount would have 3 special idle animations. For example, Senche would always have Roar, Prowl, and 1 unique idle. Sadly, lot of mounts lost one of their idle animation (many Senches now only Roar and use 1 unique idle, they never Prowl). And Radiant Apex Wolf mount from Ayleid crates still has no special animation at all :/ Such things need attention and fix too, please.

Thank you in advance!

    This would be really nice!

    Sometimes I'd really like to turn OFF idle animations too (if possible). For example, people often dress up the skeleton target dummy or mounts & pets – it'd be nice if they stopped moving their head out of their hats! (& similar situations)
