If DRK had a Tank-specific mount, which would it be?

Hmm, Job specific emotes in FF14, that'd be nice.

As for a DRK mount, perhaps a scorpion, to fit in this the insects of the new expansion as well as the pseduo poision-esque theme of Dark Knights. That's if it's meant to be a bit more original, as Bone Dragons for DK's have been done before, and bats are already taken by Ninja's.

I'm not sure to be honest. :/

I don't know, a lot of these answers are funny, but I think we should consider the possible lore behind the job. For example, I've called the Avis because I expect DRK to be an Ishgard job, and the Avis is.. well... dark, I guess? I know I don't have a lot to go with it !

Black Chocobo, because Chocobos from Ishgard are famous.

It would have to be the Darkest most Fowl Creature, that no matter how high your level was, what foes you've bested, this Creature was always there to restore the balance and keep mankind in it's place.

I of course speak of:

The Rarab.

It matters not the number of foes bested, nor gods slain, nor worlds saved... Somewhere out there, there is a Rarab plotting your untimely demise.

You beat me to this guess, dammit. :P

I think they will be popular enough even without a specific mount but well I tried to think what this could be but it's pretty hard..

Dragons will be all overs the place so the DRK getting a dragon too would be too much.
PLD and WAR have "normal" animals as mounts and they are connected to their PVP gear look.
The connections PLD-White Lion (Hero, Leader, Light, Honor etc) are intuitive but the WAR-Bear are not (..rawr? being reddish?), at least to me, and the only things I see true for both is they have big powerful looking animals. What kind of animal could be connected with a DRK that for sure is not like the traditional FF DRK? Someone proposed the hound and it's not a bad idea as it can be black, ferocious and connected with darkness but what about his probably blood related skills? Bats are NIN's, insects would be eew.. other than that the DRK is sometime proposed as an opposition of the PLD so a big black feline would seems appealing.

I would have said wolf but with fenrir it wouldn't be really unique.

Maybe a crow ? It would fit well with a flying expansion.

[Waffilicious]

his mount will be him being carried by a really flat bird and make him look like he has wings

[Noshpan]

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't one, but I could picture them riding a massive dire wolf with a coat as black as a stormy night and eyes like balefire.

Something akin to this

Someone already said this but a Boar seems really likely. And remember the mount would be based off the PvP armor it has, most likely.. I could be wrong and they could eventually make some classes/jobs have the same animal, but doubt it. Crow is taken I believe by Bard? Bat is Ninja, Wolf is Black Mage, all of which people expect DRK's mount to be (if it gets a mount) So to me, Boar seems the most likely
P.S There are too many damn horses/unicorns in this game, so please don't be another D;
