The party I DM for has recently moved from a seafaring portion of the game to a more land-based one. Since the party seems likely to have a decent amount of overland travel ahead of them, I've got the thought that it would be cool to give the party some kind of unique mounts to cut down on some of the travel time and just generally give them something cool to play with. I have a couple of ideas, but I'm kind of shopping around for suggestions too.
Anyone have any experience, either as a player or DM with cool or unusual mounts? I'm leaning toward something ground-based since flying mounts feel more like something I'd want to be a specific reward or quest goal and thinking I might build them into some kind of magic item (like Figurines of Wondrous Power or the Feather of Diatryma Summoning out of Dragon Heist) for a bit more flexibility and maybe wow-factor but I'm not completely set on that idea.
