The mount description gives an explanation as to why this might never happen:
Not to mention they would have to make new animations for it anyway, because all the flying mounts basically reuse their flight animations for swimming.Quote:
"To ensure his elbst do not find themselves at a disadvantage to swift-running chocobos, Pahh of Novv's Clutch clips the webbing on their feet at a young age, rendering them more capable of achieving high speeds on land. This procedure, however, robs them of their natural-born ability to swim.

As the above poster mentions, there is firm lore in the game why this particular Ebst cannot swim. We would need a new Ebst to be implemented in order for it to swim.

But that would likely bring the same solution that Tanks got for their mounts. -

If it goes underwater then it has to fly, since they use the same animations(except the Falcon mount). This thing would be weird in the air imo.

What lore? We have flying Admantoises.... This game abandon lore since 3.xx. As it is, they can't even be asked to change the BGM of the Beastmen Mounts, to play their respected themes.

11-25-2017, 04:58 PMPaladinleedsSpeaking of things they can't be bothered to do... still waiting on my flying primal ponies and nightmare! Now that I've moved pretty much everything in to Heavensward (everything is 50+ now, including DoH/DoL), the mounts see almost zero use :(Quote:
