What mounts would you like to see?

Doomtrain - The choochoo train that lets your FC travel across a portion of Thanalan.

Also this for personal choochoo enthusiasts

Visually, eh, there are a lot of things but I mostly just use the roulette unless my company chocobo is already out. Mostly I want them to add variety in mounts as someone else suggested. Faster mounts, perhaps that flee if you get hit as a trade off. Slower mounts that are immune to heavy, mounts that can sprint/ become invincible/ become invisible, gliding and/ or truly flying mounts, etc. I'm sure there are many more interesting things that could be done beyond essentially reskinning the one mount that we have.

They already stated a long time ago they have no plans to give some mounts special abilities like being faster because then those would be the only ones used. Different mounts are just for vanity.

Ok so I'm probably going to get shot for this idea...but in WoW (yea I know shoot me, I played wow) there were racial specific mounts (and a few class specific mounts as well).

I would like to see more rare/unique mounts that were obtainable in the manner that the war bear or war lion are now. Mounts that act as status symbols for players who are dedicated to a certain class (an no I don't have my war bear yet). Would also be nice if these hard to obtain mounts had a slightly higher movement speed than regular mounts. Perhaps something as small at 110-120% movement speed of normal mounts.

So I was ATMA grinding in Southern Thanalan and it got me thinking that the Augmented Battle Drake would have looked so much more cooler then the standard Battle Drake you get from the Almalj'aa daily quests.

So, what new mounts would you all like to see?
Or what designs do you think would have suited already existing mounts better?

Here's the Augmented Battle Drake for those that haven't seen it:

I thought this exact thing and would love a glowy drake mount.

Most anything that's not a horse really ^_^.

I mean, come on, chocobo's have always basically been the horse of Final Fantasy. Actual horses just seem weird.. XD

Toads would make for awesome mounts.
