D&D 5E Ideas for Dwarven Calvalry

[Tales and Chronicles]

I try to give dwarves skills with beasts that require little space and few topside food, so anything that eats bugs or mushrooms. On the surface I often make them carried (note: not riding) giant ravens and in the caverns I usualy go for dire moles or worm-sledge.

To borrow from the Last Airbender (and I know in the show they are that world's hybridized "Badger-Moles")...

I say Giant Badgers...but a more fantastical/Last Airbender kinda giant badger that can easily "dig" through stone as well as earth.

...dig through stone....dig through stone!?...WAIT!

QUADRUPEDAL VERSIONS OF "DOMESTICATED" UMBER HULKS!!!

Bullettes and the idea of domesticated Xorns

I once had a clan of dwarves that rode giant armored spiders. I know the eight legged freaks tend to be associated with drow, but a battle spider was a fierce thing to behold. After all, how do you think dwarves got their poison resistance.

Scorpions would have worked, too.

 

[Leatherhead]

Cave Fishers are basically already dwarven beast-of-burden spiders.

Have them ride Wild Boars!!!!

[Satyrn]

Dwarves ought to be riding ogres, I think.

Dwarves cavalry conjures up echoes of bikers. Bikers in leather & metal, riding iron hogs.


...which become iron boars, constructs crafted by dwarves master craftsmen.
