[Thanee]

There are also the Equs (Graymane, Silvermane, Snowmane, Darkmane), Mangonel Lizard, Dractyl, Strider, Land Lizard, Aht-Ra, Loper, Ontra and Ogriphant from Talislanta. Don't ask what they are.

Chocobbos (sp?) in Final Fantasy

Ostriches in South Park (in the Eric Cartman goes to the future episodes)

 

[Dagger75]

Those fire steeds from Krull

The Elk from Princess Mononoke

This list is going to be huge, just from video games.

Are you looking for something in particular.

 

[tecnowraith]

I am looking for most popular and well used riding and/or domesticated creatures. Cause I know horses and Dragons are popular and well used so I am not to worried about them.

I think it is safe to say that a common enough idea is that of the very large flightless bird.

Dark Sun's Erdlu/Crodlu. The vintage video game, Joust (although it glided well). Nausica: Valley of the Wind had one as a mount.

Others mounts:

The Dark Crystal: Landstriders, kind of like a horse with 15-20 foot long legs.
Vampire Hunter D: Not so much a creature, but D rode a mechanical horse.
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang rides... well... a six legged something or other. Kind of a cross with a platapus and a bison.

Sand worms (Dune)


... what?

And it's "Han", not "Hans".

I knew that, but my fingers didn't.

The Barsoomians (Martians) in Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series of novels rode multilegged horselike mounts called thoats and multilegged mammoths/mastodons called zitidars. (The zitidars may have just been draft animals, though - it's been awhile since I read the series.)

To add to this Carson Naiper of Venus, if I remember, had giant flying insects and gaint turtes that had homes built on their backs. Have to go back and re-read them to be sure but sure they are in something.

Other animals:
ROC
Lizards
Metal/Special Horses (know of two: Zelzany and Knaak)
Polar Bears (well they are pulling a sleigh)
Moose - Heiro's Jouney

Oh, don't forget your LotR's Wargs and your Warhammer Boars!
