Preferred Non-Dragon Flying Mount?

(<pedantry>Pegasus was an individual, not a species.</pedantry>)

And I belive Medusa was a Gorgon...but that ain't the way it works in D&D.


I would have chosen an Asperii, but since they weren't listed I voted for the always stylish Griffin.

It was a real toss-up between Wyvern and Pegasus for me. It must be the videogame influences on me I guess. Wyverns won out though.

I'm actually surprised by the griffin fandom, but then again, they are awesome mounts, so maybe I should have considered them a lot more.

How about a flying ostrich? I hear they're great for lance-weilders.

Half-Dragon Gelatinous Cube.

Chalk up another vote for griffons here too. They're beautiful, regal, and pretty tough in a fight. In fact, I think I'd prefer a griffon more than a dragon.

Half-dragon griffon. Best of both worlds.

Yeah, but they're very prone to attacks from above, and tend to revert back to eggs when combat turns against them.

Um, you forgot the Graf Zepplin...

... rimshot.

Out of what was offered (*sigh* Where was the "It depends" or "Other" option), I voted Roc. Nothing like the fantasy equivalent of a B52...

Other options I'd have chosen?

Insects (incl. Dragonflies), Hummingbirds, Owls, or a powerful Arcane/Divine spellcaster/Psionic manifester.

Griffin

...or Giant Wasp or Dire Bat
