Okay, I'm sure this idea has come up at least once before, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyways. Wizard101 has school specific equipment, spells, houses, even pets, but what about school mounts? I mean, I think it would be really fantastic if I saw some fire wizard flying around on an authentic fire school dragon. Or an ice wiz on like a snow tiger. Or if you really want to switch things up, a balance wizard on a camel. That would be weird looking, but cool if done right. lol so what do you guys think? Any ideas for school mounts? Or is the entire idea madness? Comment away! 8)

I'm for it, and also for periodically retiring different mounts to make them more rare and special to have.

My game friends all think that you should be able to name your mount in the same way you name your pets.

I love this idea! But the camel, no. The balance wizards would go 40% slower, not faster. This is what I had in mind:

Storm: Lightning bolt
Fire: The Firebolt (Harry Potter)
Ice: Blue pixie wings (like seraph wings)
Life: Centaur
Death: Vampire
Myth: Hippogriff
Balance: Mander
I really hope KI makes these stuff.

Why ride a camel when you could ride a Gryphon? But yes, school mounts would be a great addition to the game.

I was thinking the same thing lol. We have the unicorn now which fits Myth or Life so well. Dragon mount fits Fire. But I do think we need to upgrade our mounts. Make it more streamlined and more realistic. I hate the way the dragon mount looks like. It's so chunky and not so pretty or realistic.. Also the horse could be a lot more realistic and better looking. Honestly a horse with a beard? Too silly.

For Death, I was thinking about the black horse. Why don't we create a mount called Hell Horse which is a black horse but with its skeleton painted onto its skin that it looks like it's a horse with bones. That would be perfect for Death.

For Storm, why not T-rex? Or Storm Beetle mount? The beetle would be a perfect mount lol.

Life could be unicorn as well. But why not unicorn with wings?

Myth could be something different like Griffin? Half eagle half lion? That would be a very cool mount.

Balance, Camel would be good. Hydra mount would be awesome and would be the best choice though. Perfect for balance.

Ice, that one is hard. How about Snow Leopard?

Fire, yes dragon. But make it cooler. If it looked like the dragon we talk to for our quests, that would be so much better.

I agree and instead of adding wings to a Unicorn...which might look kinda odd...we should have a Pegasus which is what the mythological winged horse is called. I have been saying we need a Pegasus for ages. That would be a beautiful mount for Life school...or any school to have.

A Hippogryph for Myth would be cool.

I think the school mounts should be whatever card the school's pet gives. For storm that would be stormzilla. Balance gets their hydra and so on.

This is one of my favorite idea's someone has come up with but some people come up with weird idea's like bats, How do you ride a bat if its 4 times smaller than you.

Fire: Heck Hound
[I don't think people would like riding a dog.]

Ice: Polar Bear
[This is a really good idea for ice so leave as that.]

Storm: Mini-Stormzilla
[As I said, This isn't realistic. Maybe a cloud that you can ride as if it was a hover board.]

Myth: Blood Bat
[I don't think it is possible for anyone to ride a bat as they are about 5 times smaller than humans.]

Life: Unicorn (already released)
[A good idea for this would be Pegasus (The winged horse)]

Death: Werewolf
[This wouldn't be the ideal mount event though its a good idea because werewolf are half human half wolf; A ideal mount for death in my opinion is a black horse with glowing purple eyes and purple fire coming out of the bottom of the legs.]

Balance: Griffen
[Great idea for balance, keep it a that.]


Comments in brackets.

This is one of my favorite idea's someone has come up with in a long time.

Most of these idea's of yours are great but also not really realistic in the wizard world because it is either weird or just not really good idea's.

Storm- stormzilla

Death- a death hound. - A black hound with shedding skin.

Life- Centaur

balance- A giant scarab type thing. ( I don't agree with the camel)

fire- heck hound or pheonix ( think i spelled that right)

Ice- Ice wyvern

Myth- orthrus

I made the first post about the school mount thing actually. These are the ones I came up with. Also I think these would come with new cards like the school pets!

Myth: Pegasus
Life: Unicorn (can't be that anymore so I'm not sure.)
Death: A skeleton horse
Fire: A dragon with cool pattern of each school
Ice: Polar Bear
Storm: Maybe a giant fish?
Balance: Wings with the elements flying behind them as they move

That is an AWESOME idea. I'm Myth, and I would love to have a Hippogriff.

How about a thunderbird for a storm mount, what that is is basically a huge black bird of prey that creates lightning when it blinks it's eyes, and thunder when it flaps it's wings.

I like the idea; here are my thoughts on it;

Balance- Griffin
Fire- Phoenix
Storm- Shen-Lung ( Chinese Spritual dragon which brings with it wind and rain)
Myth- Chimera ( 1 creature consisting of snake, male lion and goat)
Life- Pegasus
Death- Gargoyle
Ice- Ice Wyvern
Well that about covers it, It would be fun to earn it as we did our level 48 pet. Maybe when we reach level 60 ?

Ok i totally agree i mean why hav a bunch of separated school stuff like clothes houses and other things and not hav mounts. on the game i am balance ( not so sure about the whole camel thing) and i would srsly luv to have a griffin :P but stuff like skulls and bats 4 other schools makes me think "what"?????? I mean can we plz be reasonable i mean the whole cloud thing sounds awesome 4 storm. like hav lightning coming out of it or rain. it sounds like it would b cool 2 hav but riding a bat seems just plain silly and i no it is a fantasy-ish game but i mean come on (no offense to any pple who made up the ideas i hate :D )
