I have an interest in large-to-huge mounts. With no offense to Camate, I am hoping for Behemoth or variants thereof. I am nearly complete with Monster Rearing, and being able to ride my Skormoth would be fun. In fact, many of the later creatures would be interesting. DRGs on Dragons with their Wyverns in tow would be an unusual juxtaposition, for example.
In that vein, perhaps some KIs could be purchased from Chacharoon? He hums specific tunes to the creatures, which we take down in our Astral Notebooks and use to get new mounts? Ideally, having the memento would give access to the mount KI so I/we wouldn't have to run a full round of rearing again.
I imagine, due to a precedent in programming, larger monsters would be limited to fewer areas akin to Monstrosity, and probably have their speed adjusted? I wouldn't be singing to Altana about it, but I'd understand.
I'd also include Hydra, Khimaira, and Cerberus types for consideration. While a lot of larger creatures would be more difficult to tame realistically, they'd bear a rider along more easily than I imagine a Raptor would.
Lastly, Darrcuiln of Seekers of Adoulin fame resonates we me as a wholly viable option.
The Yovra idea was wholly beyond even me. My compliments to the mount design lead (or whomever thought of it first). That sounds rightly terrifying especially to those who left the game ages ago.
The Path to Power takes many forms. Zantetsuken in a babes' hand is useless. Even branches are deadly wielded wisely.
If a shield is strong but the heart is weak, then there is no Perfect Defense and only the wrath of Divine Judgement.
I want Unicorns <3 Dark Ixion, Aurora Alicorn, etc. :3
I would also recommend expanding the areas these new mounts can work in.
The idea of having Behemoth and the likes as mounts bothers me a lot, I'm fine with mounts as long as they are "normal" monsters but for NMs, HNMs and bosses I really dislike the idea of having them as mounts.
Please don't turn this game into FFXIV.
Fenrir (type) points for summoner!

I agree with this. NMs are supposed to be unruly one of a kind monsters. Having every other adventurer riding one around would make no sense.
Maybe something like "small Behemoth replica" or something like, but as far as full sized legit Behemoth and the like... no thank you.
