Planetouched horses are available, but not common and still just horses + magic. Fey (elves, gnomes, goblinoids) ride just about anything, often bespoke mounts shaped by magic. Elves tend to prefer horses or various deer, gnomes pick animals they'd be around anyways like foxes, badgers, tanuki, and pigs. Goblinoids prefer more aggressive animals like wolves or pigs. Powerful fey will create flying mounts like pegasi or griffons because it's awesome. Centaurs don't use mounts.Draconics (dragonborn and kolbolds) use big lizards/dinosaurs. Elites ride dragon-blooded versions thereof. Many of these were created to be mounts at the same time dragonborn and kolbolds were created. Dragonnewts (like planetouched but dragon) ride dragon-blooded horses they call Kirin. Goliaths and giants rarely ride anything, though mammoths are commonly use as beasts of burden. A few will use magic to get something that can hold them up, but that's mostly a way to show off wealth. Beastfolk ride a variety of beasts, mostly limited by what can hold them up. It is considered weird to ride your own species, but if the mount is intelligent there are advantages. Smaller folk use bird mounts whenever possible.Dwarves, living almost entirely underground, don't use mounts. Except as a way to flaunt wealth, though palanquins are more popular for that.</blockquote>
