Mounts

A good mount can help you move more quickly through the wilderness, but its primary purpose is to carry the gear that would otherwise slow you down. The mounts table below shows each animal’s speed and base carrying capacity.
Mounts other than those listed here might be acquired, but they are rare and not normally available for purchase. These include flying mounts (pegasi, griffons, hippogriffs, and similar animals) and even aquatic mounts (giant sea horses, for example). Attaining such a mount often means securing an egg and raising the creature yourself, making a bargain with a powerful entity, or negotiating with the mount itself.
Many mounts can also fight alongside you in combat. See mounted combat for more information on fighting while riding a mount.
