Why? Who the heck knows?Also you'll tend to hear a hue and cry that allowing a paladin to have an intelligent independent mount should be against the rules, on the grounds that the beastmaster ranger sucks. He does, but that's no reason to make everyone else suck.As far as I can see, mounted monsters follow the same rules as mounted PCs: they can control or not control the mount with all that entails. As a DM, I would consider it my duty to not 'cheat' on that account: monsters and uncontrolled mounts should roll their initiative separately and uncontrolled mounts should act appropriately for whatever they are.</blockquote>
