Very simple premise. Basically, in your games/worlds, what kinds of war mounts do your different races/creatures ride into battle (if they do so at all)?
I've determined quite a few of them for my world (some of them taking from official lore), but wanted to create a thread to get inspiration for more, share my own, and to just collect the ideas from everyone. Here's my list:
I've determined quite a few of them for my world (some of them taking from official lore), but wanted to create a thread to get inspiration for more, share my own, and to just collect the ideas from everyone. Here's my list:
- Wood Elves ride on Elk, Drow ride on Giant Spiders, Shadar-Kai on Shadow Mastiffs, Eladrin on Eberron's Valenar Steeds (or, occasionally, Unicorns), Sea Elves on Dolphins
- Dragonborn and Kobolds on Drakes
- Hill Dwarves on Pigs, Mountain Dwarves on Goats, Duergar on Steeders
- Gnomes on Clockworks or Giant Badgers (depends on the group of gnomes and their technology)
- Lightfoot Halflings on Giant Bees, Stout Halflings on Giant Weasels
- Orcs on Aurochs
- Tieflings on Nightmares (only in settings that have countries full of Tieflings)
- Leonins on Lions (duh)
- Dhampir on Giant Bats
- Aasimar on Pegasi and occasionally Winged Bulls/Lions
- Goliaths on Rhinos
- Goblins on Worgs, Hobgoblins on Dire Wolves, Bugbears on Brown Bears
- Lizardfolk on either Dinosaurs or Giant Crocodiles
- Warforged from the Mournland on an Eberronian Infernal War Machine (fueled by Eberron Dragonshards instead of Soul Coins)
- Centaurs on other Centaurs (jk)
