Wetlands/Swamp Mount Idea

Seen one of the Tribe Q&As and they were brainstorming animals for a wetlands/swamp mount. Figure something like a larger version of a Flamingo would be perfect, their large stature already makes it hard for them to fly so the lore could make them unable to fly and their long legs make the saddle position perfect for the taller tribes that live in those biomes. Best part is they are NOT a snail.... lol

Give me very large Insects for the Swamplands. Animal Breeding with large insects for both pack animals and mounts.

Crocodiles were mentioned but what about a bigger version of leffit with a bit longer legs? I would be happy to ride a colorful lizard!

There will be substitution of a different animal if the selected animal is not adapted to the biome.

Thanks, do we have any references for that?

I suspect the Dras will ride something akin to a Thestral or draconic reptilian chimera. Janoa will have the Lost World raptors possibly with avian features.

Posted some inspiration shots. But CoE will come up with something original and awesome of their own.

Thestral especially looks like a bog beast with the skeletal frame and tail.

Raptor could use some brighter plummage. I like the mottled feathers. Seems fitting for the Janoa to ride something with stripes or a camo-pattern as they have.

Spiders are the best, people. Hairy ones.

No offense, but hoping for something more original than a giant bird mount. "Hey, look. It's the rare and elusive Elyrian Chocobo!". Perhaps there will be some bird mounts, but I feel Soulbound can do better with all of the possibilities. Spiders and insects sound particularly cool, mayhap large centipedes which aren't as fast but can cling to surfaces- a swamp variation, and also a underground variation for caverns that the Hrothi will live in. They would also make great bait for big fish! (thinking about the Kraken frozen in the one design picture)


Evil? More like Chaotic Neutral...ish

Oh, something amazing would be insects/creatures that can walk on water, like the Gerris. As a mechanic we could imagine that with weight on them, this time on water is limited.

Please check : Gerris lacustris, or Water striders (and imagine a chimeria based on that) :
