What is your favorite Flying mount?

[Kyberwulf]

I was wondering what is your favorite type of Flying Mount. The only Limitations I ask of you is no superpowered Mount, such as a Dragon, or anything that grants you more then two powers or so.

Mine is the Griffon. Nothing super fantastical.. just kinda cool.

it really depends on what kind of feel you want.

A gryphon is great for paladins, and is what i love

On the other hand, i would prefer something like a Dire-Wartrained Half Lion Rhino for most people

[Seharvepernfan]

Pegasi.

A CG intelligent, perceptive, iron-willed flying horse with a fly speed of 80ft.?

Yes please.

[some guy]

Dire Bats are absolutely Metal. And they can hover!

[Toofey]

No one else has tried a Lammassu?

[Knaight]

Given that this is in the General section: Aircraft. I'm not particularly picky about which, though I have a soft spot for smaller spaceships which also have atmospheric capabilities. Restricted to fantasy, wyverns are always nice, as are organic versions of hot air balloons, though enchanted hang gliders have more style.

[Malak'ai]

Zombie Wyvern... Though never actually got to use it.

Had a Druid that rode round on the back of her Dire Bear with her Lion right behind her (with a special saddle).

[Kyberwulf]

Aircraft isn't really a flying mount though.

[TuggyNE]

Aircraft isn't really a flying mount though.

What, you've never made a DC 40 Ride check to stand on your biplane's wing?

[Frog of War]

PF-specific, a summoner's eidolon with the flying evolution makes for a pretty awesome flying mount. Best part is, apart from needing the evolutions to fly and to bear a rider, the creature can be pretty much anything you want.

[TheOOB]

Half-Celestial Dachshund

[Frog of War]

Half-Celestial Dachshund

I revoke my choice. This.

[Kyberwulf]

So your saying, you want a Luck Dragon?

[Knaight]

Aircraft isn't really a flying mount though.

Not when used properly, no. When used the way PCs tend to use them though, it has a tendency to veer well into mount territory. Plus, semi-biological craft are prevalent throughout space opera, which is where space and atmospheric craft tend to show up.

Zombie Wyvern... Though never actually got to use it.

My necromancer tried it once... the rest of the party refused to go for it. (Damned druids...)

And I don't know the statblocks for these so it's based on coolness factor.

Phoenix - Assuming you got fire immunity, otherwise ouch.

Hippogryph - Because gryphons are to damned common.

Giant Eagle - Classic.

Flying Broom - add a kettle, a black cat and a somewhat floppy, pointy, broad-brimmed hat and you're good to go.

[Belril Duskwalk]

Asperii. A Neutral Good shining white horse that can fly by levitation and communicate by telepathy. Fly-speed is somewhere around 100 ft. per round (converting from 2nd ed. up to 3.5). My personal favorite feature of them is their ability to cast Feather Fall four times a day. An extra safety net in the event of getting knocked off your mount.

We had my (NE) Fighter and (LG/TN/CE... Multiple personalities) Necromancer, a Bard and a Neg-Energy Cleric in the party... So yeah, no problems on that front .

[archon_huskie]

Played a Paladin/Monk of the Elven Nature Goddess, Who's symbol is a Unicorn.

DM liked the idea of my horse mount being a unicorn instead so Upgrade! my horse got a horn attack. Later, one of the other players admitted that he'd thought Unicorns had wings. DM liked the idea. so Upgrade! I got a flight movement.

[karkus]

I think that they had those kinds of people in the ~1950's...

[Anderlith]

Draggone, a dragon lion with a cool roar? Sign me up

[TuggyNE]

20s and 30s, mostly. That's what I was alluding to. (Although from what I hear it wasn't actually a DC 40 to either wingwalk or stand on a horse's saddle, but I'll chalk that up to "WotC doesn't know how hard athletics is" and call it good.)

Pterodactyls were flying before it was cool

[Jack of Spades]

Pterodactyls were flying before it was cool

Insects beat them to it. Besides, Pterodactyls made it mainstream: Now vertebrates are flying all over the place!

OT: As inspired by my previous sentence, any kind of giant insect (in all of its scaled-up, disgusting, many-haired glory) would be pretty cool. Alternatively Quetzalcoatlus. Dire Bats may be metal, but Pterodactyls are van-art metal.

Unless having wings grafted onto one's back counts. In which case, that.

[Jay R]

Actually, I prefer an Ebony Fly. It's more convenient if your mount fits in your pouch, and doesn't need to eat.

Some insects come out looking better for this than others. Personally, I'd put dragonflies on the top of the heap, but beetles (particularly horned beetles), moths, butterflies, cicadas, grasshoppers, and of course flying ants all have some style to them as well.

Definitely true. Pterodactyls kick several kinds of rear.

[jackattack]

Fire Mares. They can run a thousand leagues in a day, and leave a flaming contrail in the sky.

[Loth17]

Dragon all the way.

[Anderlith]

Construct Horse with the ability to fly. It never gets tired

[Tantaburs]

I got a soft spot for nightmares.

Nothing says "Your gunna die" quite like a scythe wielding tower of spiked full plate riding a flaming horse
