| Nov 24 at 0:41 | comment | added | John | the general answer fo extinct animals is "if you want it to be" most of the relevent factors are behavioral and leave no trace. | |
| Nov 23 at 14:16 | comment | added | Jack Aidley | There are a grand total of four kinds of animal that have ever been good mounts: horses, donkeys, and two kinds of camel (I'm not counting mules/hinnys as they're hybrids). A handful of others (e.g. various bovines and elephants) have been used as mounts at times but none of them come close to the big four. As a result, the real answer to the question "would X make a good mount" can usually be assumed to be no. But, @JBH has it right: this doesn't really matter for worldbuilding. | |

| Nov 23 at 4:57 | comment | added | JBH | Whatever answers you receive to this, it's worth understanding why it's a poor worldbuilding question. The creature is as good a mount as you want it to be because we have no living creature data to prove otherwise. We can speculate, but a speculation yes or no is no better than your choice, yes or no. A worldbuilding question would be to bring us your choice (I want to use this creature...) and ask for help rationalizing that use based on what little we do know. After all, it's not like there's an army of people waiting to say you're wrong if you choose one way or the other. | |
