Vicious Mountain Saliraptor & Terrorbird

Brekkik · 06-25-2011, 09:07 AM

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).

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.

I never played Final Fantasy so I don't know about the bird looking like something else. But that's the one I got SMILEY

I think that bird is just so ugly it's cute lol

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.

Thanks SMILEY

Try changing it into a house item and back.

This is a chocobo:

I can kinda see the resemblance.

actually to me, the Terrorbird looks almost exactly like a Dodo bird.

Yeah, I suppose I was a bit hasty to compare the terrorbird to a chocobo. 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.

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 SMILEY

terrorbird, aka Axebeak did exist during ice-age era.

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.

we can find those fossils or bone fragments.

those terrorbirds came in all sizes, large as turkeys and often bigger than moa, ostrich, and emu.

i assumed they were even called as dodo but different bird variety.

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