Except people don't? Are you getting mad about problems you've invented yourself?

Calm down, and maybe you'll get genuine replies.
I need to know what point you think I was trying to make
>for making something other than "medieval Europe, but with orcs"?
Start with figuring out what you want, instead of just this one thing you don't want. Then pick mounts suitable for the kind of setting you decided to go for.
Would give a carrot to.
Is this a shoop?
no, the bolivian sheriffs regularly rides water buffalo.
Brazil actually. There are some towns in the Amazon delta that use those Buffalo.
chocobos
Cars.
I have literally never seen anyone complain about that. That said, I did giant kiwis for a campaign as a reference to gargwas and chocobos.
I think it's just an excuse to post a sexy picture.

Dali was such an attention prostitute. Love his work though.
Rhino
What I find to really inject a little it of creative energy into any fantasy setting is to simply ride your mum.
Doing the same thing everyone else is doing is hardly creative.
>People complain about horses being too mundane for fantasy settings
I'd be surprised if many gamers have even been around a horse irl much at all by now. Its necessarily unusual and fantastical for 21st century urbanized humans.
Gameplay wise what is there that uses them as much more than mundane transport or a fighting body regardless of if it has scales, feathers or hooves?

Females.
Whatever stupid fantasy creature of video game chicken your moronic ass is thinking about is nowhere near as cool as an actual horse.
Whatever they were riding in Wizards
The only time I've ever seen ANYONE try to argue against horses was because it was some Final Fantasy gay trying to make everything Final Fantasy.
>People complain about horses being too mundane for fantasy settings
Why do so many OPs feel the need to turn their own opinion in some kind of universally held belief? Just say you don't want horses in your campaign and would like to hear about some alternatives. What's the point of turning this into some kind of a sweeping generalization everyone knows is incorrect?
No one is complaining about horses being too mundane for a fantasy setting. OP is some content farming youtuber.

There are plenty of options if you have a modicum of creativity.
what do you think mounted police do
Always get their mouse?
You kidding? All I ever wanted was a functional Cavalier in a TTRPG
We don't talk about it after the horse heresy.
Look at my horse, my horse is amazing.
>medieval Europe, but with orcs
Orcs ride steer in my setting. Orc surgeons excise and then re-graft the horn buds of calves so that as they grow, a single spiraling horn grows from their forehead like a unicorn. Orcish lance charges are one of the scariest things a military can do
That's really cool, you shouldn't have told him and made some money off the idea somehow.
>People complain about horses being too mundane for fantasy settings
No they don't.
Assume these are scaled up and have the spinal endurance befitting a fantasy world.

Alternatively, do your own fricking research, moron.
giant snails and lizards
No one complains about horses being too mundane for fantasy settings, but some other good mounts are:
1. Wolf
2. Boar
3. Rams
4. Raptors
5. Bears
Plenty of options.
>what kind of mounts do you suggest for making something other than "medieval Europe, but with orcs"?
What do you mean by this?
>what kind of mounts do you suggest
Ozma
Kangaroo for small races/children.
Sand seal for desert adventures.
I love the fantasy conceit that sand is essentially the same thing as the ocean.
The bulette has been a D&D staple for years.
Dinosaurs.
A construct of some sort is always good for transport.
>People complain about horses being too mundane for fantasy settings
Not that I've seen, and if they do they're homosexuals. If the fantastic is everywhere it becomes mundane.
Really, any creature that's large enough to carry a person can make a good mount if you train it well enough.
Insects
Not even lowkey, I made Giant Bugs one of the common forms of locomotion, if not the standard form
Insects that you control by putting levers and wires into their ganglia*
Your weapon should be able to fly you anywhere you need it to.
I'm glad that OP cares so much about the thread he needed to post.
How about just a flying broomstick?
I want Usagi to choke me with her legs and then Rei to do it too
Why not play as a party of horses? Now you don't even need mounts and it's still fantastical.
Can we also play other kinds of horses? Like unicorns and pegasi?
You're on thin ice, mate
Man. Don't make me go to the forbidden board. I don't have anywhere else to post about my Fallout: Horse game and last time I tried the thread there some writegay was just piling it up with snuff porn.
What other kind of mounts can we come up with, aside from Pegasi, unicirnsm and horses? Thoughts?
Vaush, please go back to /mlpol/.
Campaign taking place on Candy Mountain
Horses and family are wack. Check out their bone structure of their legs/feet compared to every other legged vertebrate.
There should be heroic horses as well if there are heroic humanoids.

>medieval Europe, but with orcs
No! Bad anon! Try again but this time with more imagination.
Just default to flightless birds like everyone does. Lizards if you're feeling spicy.
Women.

Yes.
Them boom anime babws make me think the wrong things I tell ya hwat
Sentient wheelchairs.
