wow that is horrible.............. they could have at least picked something cooler like a dragon.
If you don't like a mount, you don't have to get it. There are plenty of chocobos out there, and probably other things too.

As far as dragons, would sure like that too, but I'm not aware of any existing at the moment.

Goobbues are awesome, dunno why anyone would complain about this. I guess someone has to complain about everything.
