For me, it’s the purple griffin. They’re just such loyal, mythical creatures, and have this brave, noble look about them that draws me to them above my dragons.
They’re also pretty compact and can easily fit through small openings. It helps that they don’t take two thirds of my screen.
Then there are threads about Mimiron’s Head, Virtuous Stone Drake/12-B and the bee mount.
Edit: It’s really hard for me to pick a favorite. In one of those mount threads I listed like 30 of them and I still left some out. I guess if someone held a gun to my head I could narrow it down to the Grove Warden. Maybe the Jeweled Onyx Panther.
I’m more partial to mounts that fly and don’t have flappy wings.
Mimirons head despite owning the goblin mimiron head now. And I can already feel that G.M.O.D I’ll be one as well. Goodness I do want that one really really badly.
It’s relatively small so don’t have weird model issues fitting through doors. Looks decent flying and looks decent while flying is disabled.
I also keep my utility mounts on my side action-bars (2-seater, water walking, repair, turtle).
Tangentially related …mount equipment sounds nifty … but they shouldn’t remove utility mount inherent abilities.
People will be pretty angry if their water striders now require an item to walk on water, or their repair mount, or ah mount, or whatnot lose their abilities.
We worked for those mounts for those specific secondary benefits! If I had known you would do this I wouldn’t have bothered wasting my time.
