Of course, if you want to believe that the text about it being assumed a myth or extinct yet you obviously having one as a mount means they came back in some sort of special way, that fits too I suppose. Then again, the English text also has some stupid reference to an infamous DMC line, so everything they write is whatever.
You don't seem like you think in-character at all, to the lore of the game and not just in a 'they did this because this' outside-game perspective. So why even reply?
