Ideas for Paladin's Mount

[Joust]

I'm running a paladin for the first time (starting at 8th level) and would like opinions on some fun, interesting mounts that you might have used. Doesn't need to be an uber-mount, just one that's less "standard" than a warhorse. The character is a dwarf who uses a guisarme.

good mount for a dwarf?

if you've got Tome of Horrors, take a look at the Dire Ram.

or how about a bear?

i just can't envision a dwarf riding any sort of horse.

Take the Dwarven Hound from Creature Collection 1 and add the Dire Template from ToH.

There's always having a dire bear myself.

There's a white, flying, mountain-dwelling, lawfull good "horse" in MM2. I don't remember what it's called, but it's very early in the book, so it's name probably starts with an A... It's the opposite of a nightmare in just anout every way. It even has the cold subtype, IIRC.

I remember it struck me at once when I first saw it, that it was the perfect mount for a paladin.

I like these.

So do I! I like them A LOT! Who has specs on these critters?

And on the subject of the original post, I have a Paladin PC who is a Centaur, so he doesn't need a mount.

Coreanic Steeds work nice for 11th level paladins. But dunno what them 8th levelers will do. Giant Harriers are also nice for riding, especially for aerial assaults.

Dwarfs use Boars as mounts in one of the Drizzt novels, so for a Dwarven Paladins mount it could be a Dire or Celestial Boar
