Mount Suggestion - Morbol!

[Blackweaver]

A flying morbol wouldn't even be that hard to science. It's such a festering mound of horrible digestive processes that it could easily generate an exotic mix of gases to float it and a rider along. The it just uses fine cilia on its tentacles to 'swim' it through the air.

That said, it would sure as hell freak a newbie player the hell out. I know I freaked when I saw a Goobbue bearing down full bore on me once near Vesper Bay before realizing a player was riding it. I'd love it!

Ah fun times! And yeah such a mount would be really fun!

"How will it fly?"

Reason why we won't be able to have maybe 50 possible mounts. Including this one.

Well we have a turtle who spins and shoots fire to fly (yes Godzilla ref i know) so... Why not have the tenticles weave together and spin like a prop blade? Or maybe as they has grass for bad breath use that as a kind of rocket.


Edit, not a Godzilla ref... Some weird turtle thing that loves children... Gamera i think?

SE has made some fantastic mounts for this game. Some appearing on the mog shop. But I'd love for SE to consider making a non-flying mount for a patch. Something to bring us out of the clouds and more back onto the land. A Morbol Mount! It has, a relatively flat head, so it wouldn't be too hard to set it up similar to a goobbue and have us ride it. Maybe even include the whole breath attack as a special non-combat move.

Just something to consider!

Let it have an action like some of the mounts do. Bad Breath animation please.

YES PLS

I wish it were called it's original name.

I would never use another mount again. Could we have this one carry us like a baby in its tentacles though? Or a chair made of tentacles?

[Blackcanary]

Why can't there be one thread dedicated to new mount ideas o wait i think there is.

Will it be able to eat lala? I am totally down for it if I can devour through a crowd of lala *chomp chomp chomp*

I have thought about concerns from earlier posts:

How to tame a Malboro?
Someone said that they dont have a brain as they are a plant and as such cant be teached any tricks. That cant be true.

Reason 1: It has some form of surrounding awareness, else it wouldnt be able to notice the player and go over to attack it. The fact that (at least some) Malboros dont have eyes combined with that, leads to the conclusion that they actually need to have something similar to a brain or an actual brain to process such data.

Reason 2: It can move around. (Strange reason i know, bugs and bacteria moves aswell...). With more moveable body parts than a Gobbue (probably written wrong) It needs some mental centre to process all the data of the body parts. (like the current location or the feeling of things it touches and so on)

If thats not enought to remember not to eat mama, then the advances of Allagan and garlean technology sure has some apparatus ready to mindcontrol other beings.
