Buccaneer - a rhino
Witchdoctor - skeletal horse
Privateer - War Elephant
Musketeer - something mechanical, like an armored car?
Swashbuckler - Giant Swan ( choice of 2 colors, black or white; because we all know that for bucklers, STYLE matters! )

I love all of these great ideas and think that class mounts are simply a fantastic notion! Maybe they could provide a class specific power, benefit or attribute(s) boost for the intended class. So, how about...

Shadow Drake (or maybe Shadow Bat)- A Drake that would have emerald, violet and black, shadowy wisps trailing from it and glowing eyes. It would let out a sinister shriek and it's idle animation would send a swirling Vortex of shadows up from the ground that would surround your pirate and leave him/her with googly eyes and quite dizzy!

Silverback Gorilla (or Polar Bear)- A gigantic and majestic gorilla that runs on all fours and with a thunderous might. It often beats on it's chest and sends steam from it's nostrils. When idle your pirate picks bugs out of it's hair and tickles it's armpits. (I love Esperanza's Rhino idea for a , but I had to think of something else too)

Spitting Cobra- (they're ranged right?)- A magnificent snake that sends sparks from it's serpentine mouth-- like that of Bonnie's Sparquebus. When idle it could coil around your pirate, causing your pirate's hat/helmet to pop off. That is until your pirate gently pops it on it's noggin, reminding the serpent just who is boss.

Dusky Dolphin- There's no better support creature than the beautiful dolphin and the Dusky Dolphin is quite a site to behold. When faced with terrifying odds, a dolphin will show no fear and often guide other creatures and even people to safety. For an idle animation it could shoot water through it's blowhole (even though that is not what their blowhole is for) and hit your pirate smack dab in between the eyes!

Praying Mantis- A Mantis is a thing of captivating beauty, but oh so deadly as well...just like a sneaky assassin and a Swashbuckler. Don't let it's beauty fool you, or you'll be it's next victim! For an idle animation it and your pirate could actually bow heads and pray....and then both lift your heads up to reveal a devilish grin!

I like steampunk, and I think we need a bit more of it in Marleybone or Valencia. A description of these mounts would help, in instance, what's a Bronze Shiner?

- a whale.

- a scrimshaw drake.

- a Ki-Rin.

- a horse fit for a captain.

- a serpent.

So, I was reading the update notes for W101's Test Realm, and I saw they had school themed mounts. I was thinking it'd be cool if we had something similar. However I ran into a problem: idk what they'd look like. If you have ideas, please post.

wow some fantastic ideas here! love this thread, gonna be difficult to come up with anything as epic as some of what i have read so far, but i gonna give it a go too! hope you like

an army tank built tough for one has a flag on the side displaying the owner's class but is dyable in pirates own colors

an icy crystal water chariot pulled by 2 dolphins(or seahorses) has swirling waves of sea spray surrounding bottom of the entire mount, and chariot has on its side a privateer flag also dyable in pirates colors

might be easier to draw than explain, but here goes...an arabian/indian style royalty tent scalloped around top of sun shade, owner lies back on pillows, 2 torches in front and being carried by a dozen tiki men(look like wizard tiki pet), back has witchdoctor flag also dyable in pirates colors

to be continued...(last time i got called away had to rewrite it cause of timeout XD)

Ooh!

I have found the thread. The best thread. Ever. I am ready to burst into tiny little pieces and also spontaneously combust at the exact same time. THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE EVER HEARD EVER.

Anyways, I think class mounts is a fantastically wonderful idea. All of your input is awesome. I quite like Valkoor's, though. As a swashbuckler, myself, I think the Praying Mantis mount is the epitome of EPIC. But I also like Musketeers, and snakes appeal to me too, so I like the Spitting Cobra as well. I also think we should add a horse in there as well, and as such I liked anecorbie's idea of a skeletal horse for a witchdoctor.

But I can't leave without giving some input of my own, right? Here goes!

WITCHDOCTOR: Witchdoctors are often associated with voodoo, and that includes dolls, right? So maybe it could be an animated tree, making creaking noises as it shuffles along, with the pirate on its back. The tree could have glowing yellow or blue dots for eyes, and its mouth would be a hole in the tree showing an array of sharp pointy teeth. Its arms would be gnarled branches, hanging limply at its sides, and its feet would either be stubs, like penguin feet, or something else. Green or black colored magic would swirl around the tree, and the pirate crouched on its back would have that magic emanating from one of their hands, the other hand clasped onto the tree.

(or maybe pirates [alive, of course] that are enslaved by your voodoo magics, carrying you on some sort of stand. cackle)

BUCCANEER: Okay, so, I just googled 'buccaneer' to give me ideas, and all I got were a lot of pictures of fighter jets. Maybe the mount could be a vicious bear, with Wolverine claws and Tokyo Ghoul eyes. I'll post a picture of it below.

MUSKETEER: I'll keep this short for now. Ranged, so maybe a Spitting Cobra, or a fish of some sort, because I heard it spits its bodily fluids as a weapon.

PRIVATEER: I got nothin'.

SWASHBUCKLER: Eagle or falcon, with an elegant purple sash

Privateers () could get an elephant with a basket on its back. I am not sure what that kind of basket is called, though.

It's called a howdah.

Hi these sound super cool Here's mine would be a crystal that makes mist that makes you fly would be a a barrel that you would stand on and when you run it would roll would be a little train that would be driven by little bandits sorry couldn't think of anything for that one would be a knights horse and when you move you blow a charge trumpet would be a to swords that would be kinda like ice skates and when you stop you pull a rose out of your pocket and that's it have a nice day everyone

This is a great idea it's unknown if these mounts are crown shop items or crafting items. Here are some of the ideas below.

= Behemoth, a huge creature resembling a rhino and a large prehistoric creature ( it's the largest land mamal of all time ). This maybe the largest mount in KI history, it's size is huge. It's like the " I could see my deed from here," impression.

=Flying Cobra, we got a pet for this. Maybe a cobra mount to ride on ? This will be fun.

= Flying Broom, this classic magical item can be use year round.

= Flame Eagle, a flying mount with shades of red,orange,gold,yellow and bronze.This resemble the season fall.

= Armored Elephant another mighty mount to ride on. It's an Elephant with some armor on it's body and some on it's tusk.

these were all so original i think it needs a big bump up...
