[Request for 4.0] Ironworks mermaid tail mount

[Sainya]

Since we're going into the water, we need a special mount for swimming! And if it comes from Garlond Ironworks, there's no lore discrepancy right?

I figure a mount has animations anyway, and some change the way we move and sit. So a mermaid tail wouldn't be out of the question right?

Signed lovingly, with only a request not a demand,

p.s. I don't mind how it comes, even if it's mog station. Other regions have things like the flying cloud mount. So JP/NA/EU can also have an exclusive mount as well.

YES PLEASE. I want to be a catmerman!

I expect you'll get the usual NO FUN ALLOWED types in here yelling about how they don't want this for the same reason people were against 'wing'-style mounts, though.

Speaking of which, I think that's the reason why we're not getting them. Fish tail is the equivalent of having wings for these environments and we didn't get wings.

That sounds cool -- but would it only work underwater? I can't think of any mounts that can't be used for travel across land, and this doesn't sound... terribly practical for that (not that it would really be terrible to introduce such mounts). Unless it's some sort of overall Ironworks body augmenter that transforms depending on what you're using it for (travel by land, air, or water). That would be pretty neat, too.

Probably at first, but after a while and many, many requests and threads about it, they'd add rockets to the sides so you could use it to fly with, too.
