Can look like wooden or stone carvings of an animalMyrkalfar - semi-nocturnal creatures resembling owl-based chocobo, knights often patrol their skies on great feathered avian beastsTrolls - megafauna, when they bother with mounts. A sprinting troll is scary fast, and they can throw weapons and stones further on their feet. That said, charging megafauna with a fearsome forest or mountain troll atop it with long spear raised to strike…is not a pleasant thought. Fir Bolg - same as trolls, but a little more methodical, breeding great deer and the likeDöragr - stone elementals, bears, ramsGnomes- cats, or tech mounts. Florensi (halflings) - goats, dogs, or ponies. Goats are better war mounts, while dogs are better running free beside them. War goats have armored helmets that bring the curving horns of the goat into a tapered blade, putting the power of a charging goat behind a pair of sharp blades. Draconids - don’t need mounts once fully matured into lesser dragons. Many are in draconic form, and cannot take humanoid form until maturity, and often serve as mounts for the knights of Parth (main kingdom with draconids). Puca - don’t need mounts, they travel by Crossroads and Goblin-Doors. They tend not to go to war, but when war comes to them they prefer to ride into battle in armored vehicles of strange design, or upon fearsome monsters that no other creature could possibly convince to act as a mount, such as Dread Wolves, Night Hags, or the strange demonic beings known as The Forgottwn, who haunt lonely roads and secret passageways. It’s said that the great wolf Fenrir once went into battle with a force of Puca on his back, and protected them as fiercely as he might his own cubs. Beings of nightmare that for some reason choose to protect, rather than prey upon, the lost children of the Nine Realms. Fairies/Pixies/Sprites can fly, but often shrink down enough to fit in a hood or ouch of a companion, and nap while the companion travels. In battle they often ride into the fray on the backs of absurdly enlarged hummingbirds with lethal beaks, or ferocious armored corgis, foxes, owls, or forest cats. They might craft delicate but obsidian-sharp spurs for cat or owl mounts, or slender piercing unicorn horns on the helmet of a dog or cat mount. Shifters - many don’t need mounts if it’s not unsafe to travel in animal form. When they do need mounts they just use horses.In battle most of them take animal form, though some prefer to stay in humanoid form instead and fight with weapons, in which case they usually use horses or human vehicles, or in rare cases train and armor large animals like brown bears. Vaettr - are spirits that have taken humanoid form. They might use mounts or vehicles, but they don’t need them, generally. In battle, they might awaken trees or create bodies of stone, or seap into the ground as water to rise up within enemy ranks. Edit; forgot it’s about war mounts. Editing to account.</blockquote>
