<p>I really like the look of the armored saliraptor. I'd like to see an alternate color variant though. Take the crafter's version of the quested saliraptor mount as a base, then change the bronze/red armor to a nice silver/blue version. I've never bought a mount on the marketplace before, but if you did that, I would seriously consider buying 3 (one for each server I play on).</p><p>As for the Terrorbird... well it seems to me that it's just a color swap away from being a chocobo. Even though I've been a long time fan of the Final Fantasy series, I don't really want to ride a chocobo around on Norrath, so I think I'll pass on that one.</p>

<p>I never played Final Fantasy so I don't know about the bird looking like something else.  But that's the one I got <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I think that bird is just so ugly it's cute lol  </p><p>What I didn't realize is it said to attune it and now I can't give it to another character.  Was that the way it's supposed to be?  Just so I know and am more careful in the future since other mounts didn't say attune. </p><p>Thanks  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p>

<p>actually to me, the Terrorbird looks almost exactly like a Dodo bird.</p>

I had just woke up and I guess it was a kind of kneejerk reaction to seeing "giant rideable bird." Really, they don't look all that much alike after a better look. But if they do make more bird mounts, I'd like to see an ostrich flying mount. Why a flying ostrich? So we can one day see epic flying jousting matches over Lavastorm, naturally.</p>

<p>I would love to buy some of these mounts but my mount tab is full.  Sorry if I don't want to put them in my bags or my house.  They need a Stable house.  Now that's a good idea <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>terrorbird, aka Axebeak did exist during ice-age era.</p><p>they are dangerous, and they are loners, they ruled both america continents until migrating packs of wolves discovered land-bridge from russia/asia, and wolves won and forced those terrorbirds into extinction.</p><p>we can find those fossils or bone fragments.</p><p>those terrorbirds came in all sizes, large as turkeys and often bigger than moa, ostrich, and emu.</p><p>i assumed they were even called as dodo but different bird variety.</p>

[PenfoldShush]

<p>I'd like to see non-mount versions of these creatures to fight in the wild.   </p>
