Preferred Non-Dragon Flying Mount?

[Kobold Avenger]

I like the Yrthak because it's the mount with a sonic attack which most things don't have a resistance against.

But if there's a classic image mount, I'd go have wyvern....


As far as the choices I put, I only bothered picking the Monster Manual not quite that intelligent mounts as choices. I know I could have picked Lammasu, Sphinx or Nightmare but they didn't go with the type of flying mount that I was thinking of (that you could have an intelligent conversation with).

You know, I honestly never realized just how truly ill-thought out a Spider Eater's poison was until this thread.

Initial Damage: None
Secondary Damage: Paralysis for 1d8+5 weeks.

It's to keep the food supply paralyzed while the eggs incubate and hatch.

Keeping the prey alive means you've got a nice fresh food source for the larva.

Pegasus. Easiest to feed.

Yup,plus it will never eat you

Pegasus. Easiest to feed.

What do you think the bodies of your fallen enemies are for? And they don't cost you anything. If its been a while since your last fight and your trusty steed is getting a little peaked-looking just feed him a few peasants, no one cares about them anyway.

An herbivore needs to eat every day, a large predator or omnivore can get along with a single big meal every few days.

Giant Eagle
Giant Owl

My thoughts exactly.

I don't see Succubus.

If I can get a ring of sustenance Roc. They grapple well.

Don't forget soarwhales

I voted hippogriff, but I'd've liked to see giant owl, giant eagle and dire bat in there. Dire bats make a great choice for the goblinoid rider.

And of course, Eberron adds the very attractive option of a Glidewing (Pteranodon).

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

Another vote for Giant Wasp

In Ebberon some druid sects (PrC's) can have bugs as animal companions,

The goblin riding a dragonfly was impossible to resist

Also in favor of Giant Owl, Giant Eagle, & Dire Bat.

Griffon.

The list should also include Dragonnes, Dragonhawks, Dire Eagles and Storm Ravens.
