Non-conventional mounts / using the system for non-mount purposes

[Shougun]

Thought it would be cool to see SE make a few for fun mounts or behave differently in some way, I mean technically they don't have to be put under the mount system but the concept can be used.

Some ideas:

• Two person mount where upon use you become open to join in holding hands, you both run around on foot holding hands together (person driving is the leader).
  
• Two person mount where a person can climb your shoulders, we've seen it big character for small already but it'll also be pretty hilarious for small to big (atlas holding the world) lol. An ability to throw the held player would be pretty great, keeping in mind how the mount system works it's all consensual so players are not getting involuntarily involved.
  
• There is a mount in WoW that has a shop keeper on it, moogle kupo? Although personally I still want to unlock/upgrade a moogle of my own like FFIX (call via flute) and FFXI.
  
• Magitek that combine into a larger mount where some players get to control fun abilities and another drives, think power rangers or transformers lol. (abilities like fake attacks, short range blinks, temporary speed boost).
  
• Leaping boots, adds a passive jump boost and an ability to make superhero/hulk jumps.
  
• Aetherflow, the teleport ability raises you into the air - that effect except you can fly around (seen in some cutscenes around the crystal).
  
• A mount, perhaps magitek, that allows the secondary player that's entered to abandon ship into a smaller pod. A larger whale (ish) shaped ship would be cool imo but a smaller example is the two person bikes, except it detaches and the second player now controls the mini bike portion.
  
• A mount that connects to the one in front of it, magitek again would be an easy theme but doesn't have to be. Make a ghost train or something with other players making up each compartment lol
  
• Umbral / Astral / other plane mount - with an ability the mount will cause an on screen effect and you will travel to another plane, soul reaver / WoW when you die sort of experience.
  
• Secret of Mana cannon, when you use it places a cannon on the ground and you can get in (as well as your allies) and fire yourself off into the distance. Disappears after a while once the player that placed it is no longer nearby.
  
• Teleport, like anime/dragon ball (fighting), when you move forward the character leans forward and a UI target is put on the ground/moved as you use your movement keys when let go you vanish to location as if blinking around.

WoW has a thing called a Toy Box where they put some of these just for fun toys (well some of the above are mounts with just a slight new thing, but holding hands is just for fun lol).

Obviously just stuff for fun, nothing important

Please suggest other mounts or things that might work with them, only thing hopefully is that they're unique in some aspect

Magitek Racing Battle Circuit
Nascar meets transformers, or in this case Magitek or Machina racing league with battle.

• A maintenance team at kitting and pit stops.
• A pilot
• A team logo and name
• Leaderboards
• Could have frames built off Eikons/Summons/Primals if you want to put an XIV spin on Warframe.

Examples:
Titan Frame- High Defense with earth based skills
Shiva Frame- Ice Shields and ice based skills.

The frames could also transform like XIII Shiva between automotive forms and robotic forms. Maybe Shiva is a motorcycle, Titan is a tank, Bahamut is a low floating helicopter, Garuda is a low floating jet or hawk, Ifrit is a pickup truck, etc, etc.

How about wings used as mounts for flying? If they allow it in cities, you'd see people showing of their wings like on Aion lol.

Yes!! Good idea and the super running one is nice too. The only problem with wings are heavy races like roe making them look like a joke.
