Griffins in RoK?

[rsaint16]

I just saw this new trailer for Rok: <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/23172.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametrailers.com/player/23172.html</a> and griffins mounts show up, wouldn't be a better idea to have dragons or some other flying mount instead of griffins, I mean DoF had carpets, KoS had clouds, EoF have the horsies fast travelling, would make more sense something like dragon mounts... bah maybe I'm just tired of those brainless birds<img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Tamed Drakota? Yeah that would make the Ring of Scale happy. Although it would be cool as heck. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

You would have to enslave Drakotas to serve as mounts (as they are intelligent) and I don't think that would work very well. Not only are they extremly strong, their masters are even stronger. But how about tamed giant beetles?

I know. I was more or less just joking around with the Drakota thing. As for beetles...ARE there beetles that big?

Ahh yeah see that's what I get for playing a fea most of the time. I see everything as big in relation to me but not nessisarily big in relation to everyone else.

I would think maybe wyverns, one of the concept arts on the RoK site looks like a wyvern to me with the stinger tail and all that and those (based off dnd) are trainable and not as bright as drakota.

Whynot the froglok-dragon things?

[Nayurayne]

The Iksar also make the Sokokar which are a froglok/dragon hybrid.
