Magitek Slasher
Patch: 7.2
An autonomous imperial warmachina designed in the likeness of a vilekin; the razor-sharp blades fitted onto their forelimbs are said to haunt the dreams of many an enemy soldier. This particular unit was seized by the Eorzean Alliance, and subsequently disarmed for use in transportation.
Wings Of The Knighthood
Patch: 7.2
Found within the ruins of Alexandria Castle, these armor-clad wings are reminiscent of the formidable machine imbued with the memories of Zelenia, former second-in-command of the royal knights of Alexandria. While their origin is shrouded in mystery, they exude the passion of a knight who lived to serve her queen.
His Royal Headness On Parade
Patch: 7.2
This uncanny mascot of a forgotten amusement park has no tolerance for unsightly heads, and will stop at nothing to separate those that fail to satisfy him from their bodies. The only way to escape his scrutiny is to ride him, thereby becoming one with his flawless noggin.
Eggeater
Patch: 7.2
Under the patronage of its mistress, Rowena, this widowmaker has led a pampered life. As it was impractical to feed it the prodigious quantities of ants its kind consumes in the wild, however, it was instead raised on a diet of beaten eggs. This specimen is well accustomed to men, and permits those it trusts to ride upon its back.
Air-wheeler C9
Patch: 7.2
The C9 is the latest flying passenger vehicle to be developed in Alexandria. Propelled by six electrope thrusters that serve as wheels when driven on the ground, it performs equally well on land as it does in the air, and is the object of desire for the youths of Solution Nine.
Hovering Hot Pot
Patch: 7.2
Long ago, when a ritual cauldron was accidentally used to cook dinner for the lord of Yanxia, a strange phenomenon occurred which saw the vessel rise into the air like the fiery wheels of divine legend. Thereafter, subsequent generations of rulers took to filling the cauldron with various delicacies, which they enjoyed even as they hovered in the heavens.
Dais Of Darkness
Patch: 7.15
A piece of the battlefield created by the Cloud of Darkness, upon which only those recognized by the being may set foot. While it has sent countless foes plummeting into endless void, by triumphing over its maker, you appear to have gained control over it.
Shroud Of Darkness
Patch: 7.15
A sliver of the eldritch raiment worn by the Cloud of Darkness. Appearing to be perpetuated by residual aether, it shows no sign of dissipating and allows its wearer to fly freely. Though soft to the touch like the finest wool, the fog that clings to it results in a persistent clamminess.
Snowstreamer
Patch: 7.11
Hollow on the inside and sustained by the power of eternal ice, this snowman garbed in fetching purple promises to keep its rider cool even in the hottest of climes. Rumor holds it is the perfect companion for those who wish to share their adventures with others, as well as those who wish to cheer others along on theirs.
Brachiosaur
Patch: 7.1
Belonging to an ancient and enormous species, this juvenile creature was hatched from an egg found in the wilds by a hunter-scholar. As its body burgeoned, so too did its appetite for exploration, and it eventually found in you a worthy master to follow.
Venturous Kamuy
Patch: 7.1
During a journey to the Far East, the merchant Rowena came upon and took in this wolf which, having received a divine blessing, is able to lope freely through the sky. In the part of the world whence it hails, a practice exists wherein dogs are sent to pay homage at distant shrines in their masters' stead.
Wings Of Eternity
Patch: 7.1
Found within the virtual domain created by the Meso Terminal, these armor-clad wings are reminiscent of the dread entity that Sphene had become. While their origin is shrouded in mystery, they exude the unwavering determination of a ruler who placed her subjects above all else.
Punutiy
Patch: 7.1
Inhabiting the waters of Yok Tural, these gentle giants have been employed by men since olden days to tow boats on the continent's rivers and lakes. This specimen is particularly inquisitive, and having been imbued with the ability to fly, it has further developed a taste for travel.
Barreltender
Patch: 7.1
Native to the arid wilds of Xak Tural, this abnormally well-built sabotender resolved to further hone its flesh after meeting its match in an adventurer. As part of a rigorous training regime, it willingly and tirelessly carries you hither and yon.
Qeziigural
Patch: 7.05
Encountered in Cenote Ja Ja Gural, this winged stone construct is outfitted with golden adornments whose engravings bespeak Mamool Ja origins. As its bare body appears to hail from an earlier time, however, it is believed to be a Yok Huy relic that was repurposed and decorated.
Monowheel S1
Patch: 7.05
A prize Ascension Arcadia bestows upon its champions, this unique one-wheeled vehicle employs an advanced stability system that allows it to traverse any and all terrain. Owing to its complex controls, however, it takes considerable practice to become a competent rider.
Mountain Zu
Patch: 7.0
This subspecies of the monstrous zu is known to inhabit the mountainous regions of the Near East. Seeking to tame the ill-tempered bird, Hannish alchemists fed it a specially concocted brew, which had the desired effect while causing the creature to give off a refreshing citrus aroma.
Automatoise
Patch: 7.0
A weapon of war developed in Origenics, this giant tortoise has been augmented with a reinforced electrope skeleton and servomotors in order to enhance defense and strength. As the underlying creature is ordinarily mild-mannered, it is infused with the soul of a savage predator to lend it ferocity at the onset of battle.
Ullr
Patch: 7.0
Belonging to Ratatoskr's brood, this dragon was searching for a mortal with whom it could weave songs when it chanced to see you in the middle of a hunt. So impressed was it by your prowess, it chose to accompany you on your travels in hopes of witnessing more heroic feats.
Rroneek
Patch: 7.0
Found grazing the plains of Xak Tural, this stoutly built beastkin has been prized since ancient times on account of fairly every part of it being a useful resource. Owing to its importance in their lives, many nomadic tribes revere it as their guiding animal, and migrate alongside it with the seasons.
Mehwapyarra
Patch: 7.0
This fully grown mehwapyarra (“capybara” in certain other parts) was wandering alone in Shaaloani when it was attacked and swallowed whole by the tural vidraal Ttokrrone. Fortunately for the creature, you appeared and put down its devourer before it could be digested, and it now lends you its back out of a sense of duty.
Outrunner
Patch: 7.0
A general-purpose machine, the outrunner can perform a wide variety of tasks, from the maintenance of facilities and devices to the elimination of dangerous creatures. Its design incorporates a monitor which displays comical expressions in lieu of a face, that it might be more approachable to the public.
Wings Of Resolve
Patch: 7.0
Calling to mind Zoraal Ja, King of Resolve of Alexandria, these magicked wings grant their wearer an aura of undying pride. Though they were discovered near the throne on the summit of Everkeep, the truth of their nature is shrouded in mystery.
Wings Of Ruin
Patch: 7.0
Calling to mind Valigarmanda, the dread creature dubbed the Skyruin, these magicked wings grant their wearer an aura of irrepressible might. Though they are said to manifest only for those who are worthy, the truth of their nature is shrouded in mystery.
Air-wheeler A9
Patch: 7.0
Designed and built in Alexandria, this single-rider flying vehicle uses electrope to convert lightning to wind energy, which it expels to produce levitation and propulsion. While air-wheelers are extensively employed by the military, the A9 is a civilian model and does not come fitted with armaments.
Ty'aitya
Patch: 7.0
Its name meaning “little voices at play” in Xbr'aal, this herbivorous beastkin is capable of gliding impressive distances owing to the skin that stretches between its wrists and ankles. Fiercely territorial, it is known to attack even large predators using the bladelike cartilage protruding from the side of its hands.
Alpaca
Patch: 7.0
Known as a Pelupelu merchant's best friend, the alpaca has long been raised as livestock in the mountainous regions of Tural. They are prized for their wool, a staple material in traditional textiles, as well as their sure-footedness, which sees them employed as both pack animals and cavalry mounts.
Oppressor
Patch: 7.0
Originally an autonomous weapon developed by the Illuminati, this oppressor underwent a conversion to be able to carry a pilot. While the process necessitated the stripping of munitions, what the machina loses in destructive capabilities, it gains in luxury and comfort.
Ark
Patch: 7.0
Seeking to develop an advanced transforming airship, the engineers of Garlond Ironworks turned to the expertise of a former Illuminati scientist. The result is a machina that can convert between bipedal and assault craft forms in the blink of an eye.
Torgal
Patch: 6.58
According to the wandering minstrel, the beast who appeared to aid the stranded Clive was a guiding spirit born of its master's memory. So impressed was the ever-insightful musician by the creature, he decided to create this faithful facsimile in hopes that it might also serve as your loyal companion.
UFO
Patch: 6.55
While appearing to be identical to PuPu's starship, this replica lacks certain functionalities such as a matter duplication facility, which, in light of recent events, is probably for the best. It is also unable to shrink you to a size to fit in the cockpit, meaning you do not so much ride as you are dangled around in its tractor beam.
Quaqua
Patch: 6.51
Employed by a treasure hunter of Aloalo Island, this familiar was born of an early form of arcanima, an art which emerged in the south sea isles. The being's origin is attested by its predominantly wooden construction, a method which precedes the use of gemstones to create Carbuncles.
Spectral Statice
Patch: 6.51
This mischief-loving faerie was originally companion to a scholar, but her aether refused to disperse in the wake of her master's death. After enduring a dull existence for long years, she found in you someone who could provide her with excitement, and thus did she weave an avatar of herself to join you on adventures.
Rhiyes
Patch: 6.51
Created to serve as an obstacle in Blunderville, this mechanical rhinoceros has employed its ample weight and power to thwart the progress of many a hapless Bean. Fortunately for you, however, this example was programmed to shuttle you around rather than send you flying.
Island Adenium
Patch: 6.5
Sprouted and grown in the South Mandra Kingdom, this adenium lived what he thought was a happy life until he encountered the Peerifool. From the castaway vegetable, he learned about the great wide world beyond the island's bounds, and began to dream of embarking upon grand adventures.
Island Peerifool
Patch: 6.5
Loaded aboard a trading vessel as part of its provisions, this mandragora decided to try her luck in the open sea rather than be added to soup. As luck would have it, the tides delivered her to a desert island, whose fertile soil and sunshine allowed her to attain enormous proportions.
Peatie
Patch: 6.5
Hailing from a place where the peach trees bloom, this winsome goobbue maiden was found and taken in by the traveling entertainer Aldemund. After delighting the crowds on Little Ladies' Day, she made the decision to join you on your adventures in order to spread more cheer.
Garlond GL-IIT
Patch: 6.5
A variant of the popular Garlond GL-II, this trike has been engineered for cultivating the land. The ceruleum-powered rotary tiller makes short work of transforming rough terrain, while the cargo tray is ideal for transporting materials and passengers both.
Sabotender De La Luna
Patch: 6.5
Under the patronage of its mistress, Rowena, this cactuar has led a pampered life. With the merchant being too busy to personally tend to it, however, its care fell to Khloe Aliapoh, whose attentive hand and rousing tales allowed it to grow into a large specimen with a luminescent blossom.
Lynx Of Abyssal Grief
Patch: 6.5
A phantom creation whose being brims with the Darkness that roiled in the depths of the Thirteenth's moon. The motes of Light it sheds calls to mind the yearning for home that drove the dread voidsent Zeromus, but the origins of this familiar are shrouded in abyssal grief.
Crescent Moon
Patch: 6.5
Designed in the likeness of a crescent moon, this magicked gondola was being kept in storage in Sharlayan, where it was classified as a gift. While its origin is undisclosed, the automaton that accompanies the contraption offers a telling clue.
Apocryphal Bahamut
Patch: 6.5
This draconic entity is brought forth by blowing into the horn you received from the wandering minstrel while holding in your heart Bahamut's song recorded by the Heimdall. Thus imbued with hopes and dreams, it desires nothing more than to soar the boundless skies and recognizes your free-spirited self as its master.
Rising Phoenix
Patch: 6.48
Created as a token of gratitude for the Warrior of Light, this majestic familiar assumes the likeness of the Phoenix, the immortal bird of legend. Upon death, the creature is said to rise again from its own ashes, on account of which it is revered as a symbol of rebirth.
Shishioji
Patch: 6.45
When the mighty Shishio, legendary auspice and king of the nue, was defeated, it shed a fragment of its malevolent will, which took form as this being. Possessing a will of its own, it recognizes you as its superior, and consents to bearing you upon its back.
Burabura Chochin
Patch: 6.45
Contrary to expectation, this lantern ghost did not care to haunt people, and was content to simply wander Mount Rokkon. When it saw you similarly wandering, it took you for a kindred spirit and decided to follow you wherever the wind should blow.
Garlond GL-IS
Patch: 6.4
A variant of the Garlond GL-I, this magitek vehicle is fitted with a sidecar to allow for two riders, with engine displacement increased to handle the additional weight. Comes with a life-size mascot lovingly crafted by Wedge─but strictly for a limited time only, and while stocks last!
Island Buffalo
Patch: 6.4
Belonging to a species introduced by pirates as livestock, this mild-mannered beast took to living on your island one day. Though it appears to have reverted to being feral, it is easily won over with food, in gratitude for which it happily bears you upon its back.
Lynx Of Fallen Shadow
Patch: 6.4
A phantom creation whose elemental aspect is tipped strongly towards Darkness. The motes of Light it sheds call to mind the grim resolve of one who bears a great burden, but the origins of this familiar are shrouded in fallen shadow.
Magicked Children's Bed
Patch: 6.4
Crafted especially for children, this magicked bed hovers by virtue of crystals sourced from floating isles, and gives the sensation of sleeping on a cloud. The design is said to be directly inspired by the beds used at Menphina's Arms.
Shadow Wolf
Patch: 6.4
A spawn of darkest shadow, this dread wolf is said to have been created by an evil king to do battle with a hero of eld. Though the truth of the tale cannot be verified, the creature's eyes betray not a hint of hatred towards the Warrior of Light, whom it serves with unfaltering obedience.
Megaloambystoma
Patch: 6.4
The fact that this impossibly large ambystoma is fitted with an elaborate saddle strongly suggests it was created to be ridden. However, its presence in Pandæmonium means it was flawed in some way and deemed a failure.
Island Mandragora Queen
Patch: 6.4
The life of this island-grown princess was forever changed when she met her future husband the island Tomato King, whom the tides had borne to her. Overcoming their difference in origin, they wed and unified the island's vegetables under the banner of the West Mandra Empire.
Island Tomato King
Patch: 6.4
Grown in sunny Vylbrand, this king among produce was being shipped to distant lands when his crate was cast overboard in rough seas. He eventually arrived at a desert island, where he triumphed in a war with avaricious avians and won the heart of a local princess, together with whom he established the West Mandra Empire.
Island Garlic Jester
Patch: 6.4
Possessed of a humorous wit, this mandragora encountered the island Tomato King when they were both adrift. During that time, he amused his sovereign with dozens of droll tales, and in recognition for his services, he was appointed the court jester after the founding of the West Mandra Empire.
Traveling Supporter
Patch: 6.4
This advanced bipedal machina was found wandering the Carteneau Flats by a quartermaster of the Eorzean Alliance. While it bears a striking resemblance to Allagan clockwork soldiers, it appears to have been enhanced by unknown hands (or paws).
Moon-hopper
Patch: 6.35
This enhanced version of the supporter was lovingly created by the ever-innovative Inventingway. Not satisfied with merely making it ridable, the Loporrit also fitted a compact speaker that can belt out Dreamingway's feel-good sounds.
Aeturna
Patch: 6.35
During an expedition to Ilsabard in his younger years, Emperor Xande is said to have come upon this fearsome beast. As its name, meaning “eternal,” would suggest, it possesses remarkable vitality, and in addition to serving as an armored warbeast, it was also a subject in the Allagans' research into immortality.
Orthos Craklaw
Patch: 6.35
Discovered in Eureka Orthos, this specimen of craklaw was imbued with magic in a bid to further harden its carapace. Though that experiment ended in failure, by way of a peculiar side effect, it has attained the power of flight.
Island Alligator
Patch: 6.3
Hailing from unknown shores, this alligator appeared on your island one day and made itself at home. It takes pride in the fact that its kind is rare out at sea, and willingly carries a rider upon its back if only so it can parade itself in front of all and sundry.
Chrysomallos
Patch: 6.3
Instead of the white commonly seen in its kind, the fleece of this sheep is a remarkable golden hue. While the seller insisted that it is the golden ram of legend, as with all such claims, this should be taken with a pinch of salt. Only time and perhaps a new growth of wool will reveal the creature's true nature.
Magitek Avenger G1
Patch: 6.3
Rumor holds that a golden sasquatch statue stands at the heart of the Garlean capital, from which magitek weapons would emerge to defend the city should it fall under attack. The veracity of the tale aside, the goblins liked it enough that they decided to create this golden avenger to match the statue.
Lynx Of Righteous Fire
Patch: 6.3
A phantom creation whose elemental aspect is tipped strongly towards astral fire. Its fiery body calls to mind the ardor of Rubicante, archfiend of fire, but the origins of this familiar are shrouded in impenetrable flames.
Pinky
Patch: 6.3
Upon hearing that inebriated folk are wont to have visions of a delightful pink elephant, the Loporrits were inspired to make the creature a reality. The tale was, of course, simply a joke at their expense, but if this machine brings a smile to even one person, then their efforts will not have been in vain.
Phaethon
Patch: 6.3
According to Corvosi myth, simply being near this fiery steed is akin to bathing in hot coals, and it is only through the ingenuity of alchemy that one can ride it unscathed. A nigh-identical being, created to draw a carriage in the heavens, is said to have existed in the world unsundered, but it is uncertain what manner of connection, if any, exists between the two beasts.
Blackjack
Patch: 6.3
Commissioned by Chairman Tatabaru of Highwind Skyways to develop a new airship, the engineers of Garlond Ironworks produced this scale prototype for testing purposes. Despite its diminutive size, it boasts an impressive loading capacity, and can easily carry you and a few friends.
Anden III
Patch: 6.3
In gratitude for your kindness, the pixie Eo Tyr gifted you this peculiar ambulatory plant, which they created from the leaves of the original Anden after pruning him. While it resembles its namesake, it lacks the power of speech, and there is no telling what thoughts lie behind its permanently horrified expression.
Set Of Ceruleum Balloons
Patch: 6.3
Filled with gasified ceruleum, this festive assortment of balloons boasts enough buoyancy to lift a full-grown Roegadyn off the ground. However, it possesses no means of propulsion, and one is required to provide one's own wind magicks to move.
Magicked Parasol
Patch: 6.3
This flying parasol was created by a certain elderly mage in her youth. Intending to sell them en masse to fund her research, she chose a pink parasol─popular in those days─as the base. Due to the need for considerable magical power and grip strength to use them, however, she experienced only modest success.
Magicked Umbrella
Patch: 6.3
This flying umbrella was created by a certain elderly mage in her youth. It uses a black umbrella as the base, the better for blending into the night and sneaking into the Great Gubal Library from above. Its creator, it would seem, has always had a rebellious streak.
Logistics Node
Patch: 6.3
One of the automated system drones deployed by the Allagans to oversee logistics in their strongholds. After being unearthed by the Sons of Saint Coinach, the mechanical sphere was off-loaded to the Eorzean Alliance and modified into a personal transportation device.
Silkie
Patch: 6.25
Encountered in the depths of the Sil'dihn Subterrane, this arcane entity was the familiar of former sultana Nanasha Ul Nasha, who created it to keep the royal palace squeaky clean. Contrary to its appearance, the pom on the tail is the actual being rather than the mouselike creature.
Sil'dihn Throne
Patch: 6.25
Discovered in a sector of the Sil'dihn Subterrane, this magnificent throne is believed to have been a spare. It moves in response to its master's will, but whether it does so via the spirits of Sil'dihns long dead or simple magicks is unknown.
Miw Miisv
Patch: 6.25
Born at Elysion from the hopes of the Ea, this peculiar dynamis life-form possesses a semi-transparent body reminiscent of a jellyfish, and can deliver a sting of sorts with the lightning it harbors. There is no greater pleasure for it than to connect with others in the microcosm of its heart. Literally.
Island Eggplant Knight
Patch: 6.2
Hailing from the selfsame land as the Tomato King, the Eggplant Knight shared a crate with the sovereign when they were shipped out. However, he fell overboard when the vessel encountered rough seas, and drifted for days before being deposited on a desert island. Among other feats, he prides himself on having played a key role in the founding of the West Mandra Empire.
Island Onion Prince
Patch: 6.2
Royalty among mandragora, this island-bred Onion Prince knew every comfort growing up. Such a pampered life led to boredom, however, and he took to whiling away the days in mischief. Dismayed by his son's behavior, the king sent him off to squire for a renowned hero, that he might learn something of responsibility and leadership.
Island Mandragora
Patch: 6.2
Born into an influential family in the West Mandra Empire, fabled nation of vegetables, this mandragora grew to its prodigious size thanks to fertile soil and abundant sunlight. Alas, its blessed upbringing could also be considered a curse, for it is the fate of such prime produce to go to market.
Garlond GL-II
Patch: 6.2
This prototype magitek vehicle was developed by Garlond Ironworks to be a mode of transportation for a new era. A compact-but-powerful twin-bank ceruleum engine provides effortless acceleration which, coupled with the rugged chassis, allows it to devour rough terrain─such as that one might see on a desert island.
Lynx Of Imperious Wind
Patch: 6.2
A phantom creation whose elemental aspect is tipped strongly towards astral wind. Its blustery wings call to mind the caprice of Barbariccia, archfiend of wind, but the origins of this familiar are shrouded in unrelenting storms.
Sunforged
Patch: 6.2
A product of the genius mind of Hephaistos, this fiery phantom creation combines two concepts─a flying snake and an immortal bird─and can shapeshift as the situation demands. Only the individual it recognizes as its master may ride it unscathed.
Starlight Steed
Patch: 6.2
The reindeer Blitzen, visiting from Sharlayan, gifted you this ridable glamour as a show of gratitude for your kind aid. From the creature itself to the presents, all is recreated in such impressive detail that it could only be considered a Starlight miracle.
Wondrous Lanner
Patch: 6.2
Under the patronage of its mistress Rowena, this enchanted falcon has led a pampered life. Able to comprehend language, it loved nothing more than to listen to Khloe Aliapoh's tales, whose heroic protagonist it aspired to bear upon its back─in contest with another of Rowena's pets.
Fylgja
Patch: 6.2
Like her noble forebear Ratatoskr, Fylgja is passing fond of mankind, and traveled the world in search of mortals worthy of immortalizing in song. During the course of her journeys, she would encounter a soul who shone most brilliantly in battle. So moved was she by the hero's selfless valor, she chose to become her follower.
Mechanical Lotus
Patch: 6.2
Fashioned by the enigmatic Onishishu, this mechanical conveyance assumes the form of the lotus flower, a symbol of purity and sanctity in the Far East. Indeed, it gives off a distinctly spiritual aura, though how it does so is a jealously guarded secret.
Hippo Cart
Patch: 6.15
Drawing upon the design of chocobo carriages, a collective of Arkasodara youths invented this two-wheeled hippo-drawn cart. The sunshade cloth incorporates techniques used in crafting Corvosi flying carpets, and grants cart and hippo both the ability to soar the skies.
Megashiba
Patch: 6.1
Sold as a “mameshiba,” a nonexistent miniature Far Eastern dog, this creature continued to grow until it was larger than a man. But despite its prodigious size, it has somehow retained its cuteness, which it combines with the practicality of being ridable.
Bluefeather Lynx
Patch: 6.1
A phantom creation composed of the esoteric power of dynamis. It is believed that the Endsinger brought forth this mysterious entity, but for what purpose is unclear. Could it be a tribute, perhaps, bestowed upon one who has overcome her aria of despair?
Vinegaroon
Patch: 6.1
While it is common for dragons to use vinegaroons as servants, men have struggled to domesticate the creatures. In recent years, however, the gleaners have developed a successful training method, allowing them to be employed as beasts of burden.
Troll
Patch: 6.1
Contrary to their savage appearance, trolls are highly intelligent creatures. Sharlayan scholars once sought to teach them sign language, and on account of this specimen's friendly nature, it is believed that it was a subject in that experiment.
Pod 602
Patch: 6.1
Recovered from the ruins of the machine lifeforms, this diminutive white machina was created to provide YoRHa units with movement support. On account of this, it can easily transport one person...if not exactly in style or comfort.
Alkonost
Patch: 6.1
Captured in the Bozjan wilderness, this creature was passed around as a curiosity before eventually being released again. From the start, it seemed unperturbed in the presence of men, leading some to believe it was trained by an imperial beastmaster.
Demi-Phoinix
Patch: 6.05
This entity is a recreation of the being found imprisoned inside Pandæmonium. The original was the fruit of the ancients' research into immortal birds, but owing to its volatility, it was branded a failure.
Porxie King
Patch: 6.0
Unlike its kin, this porxie was born without the ability to cure the tempered. Rather than have it go to waste, however, it was made into a mount and given a crown─perhaps to evoke a sense of luxury and comfort.
Wivre
Patch: 6.0
Native to the New World, these ill-mannered scalekin are notoriously difficult to tame. Yet where others have failed, the Mamool Ja have succeeded, their people employing wivres as beasts of burden and weapons of war both.
Papa Paissa
Patch: 6.0
This exceptionally large paissa has sired no less than eight offspring, and in order to earn the coin to rear them, it chose to work as an adventurer's mount. By taking it into your service, you are supporting its adorable brood.
Level Checker
Patch: 6.0
When this mysterious machine first determined your strength, the result was “level 90.” By what method it came up with its figure, and whether it is even accurate, none can possibly say.
Victor
Patch: 6.0
Lauded by no less a personage than Emperor Varis, Victor is a perennial champion at Garlean dog shows. Being bred and trained for competition, it isn't suited to combat, though it may at least intimidate foes with its fearsome mien.
Calydontis
Patch: 6.0
Once a dreaded presence in its forest domain, this lord among wild boars met its match in a band of dauntless adventurers. Having thus learned to bow before the strong, it found a master in you.
Dreadnaught
Patch: 6.0
Originally used as a weapon, this Allagan machina was eventually superseded by newer models and repurposed for construction. Legends tell of a young man who took one such unit on a rampage, wreaking havoc through enemy ranks.
Argos
Patch: 6.0
Created by Venat, this dog-like familiar lends his back only to those who have won his favor─which you already had by the time you first met him in Mare Lamentorum owing to the quirks of time travel.
Lynx Of Divine Light
Patch: 6.0
A phantom creation whose elemental aspect is tipped strongly towards the umbral. Its radiant wings call to mind the majesty of Hydaelyn, the will and protector of the star, but the origins of this familiar are shrouded in divine Light.
Lynx Of Eternal Darkness
Patch: 6.0
A phantom creation whose elemental aspect is tipped strongly towards the astral. Its shadowed wings call to mind the valiance of Zodiark, eldest and mightiest of primals, but the origins of this familiar are shrouded in eternal Darkness.
Arion
Patch: 6.0
Legends speak of a majestic and unwaveringly loyal horse who would never fail to deliver its master from peril. Such myths were founded in fact, as the divine steed has descended from the heavens to seek one possessed of a true and virtuous heart, with whom it may right the wrongs of the world.
Al-iklil
Patch: 5.55
A gift from Fran to the Bozjan Resistance, this craft hovers by the power of skystones, crystals that allow entire masses of land to levitate. Its name is said to be derived from an ancient Ivalician word meaning “crown.”
Deinonychus
Patch: 5.55
Native to the southern regions of Ilsabard, the deinonychus is cousin to the raptors that inhabit the Twelveswood. Possessed of superior intelligence, as seen in its habit of hunting in pairs, the beasts have been employed in warfare since antiquity.
Magicked Card
Patch: 5.55
Crafted by Eorzea's foremost goldsmith, Godbert Manderville, this enchanted card is awarded to those who have collected an unprecedented number of Triple Triad cards. May it bear you through endless diamond skies, to dazzling places you never knew, and show you new fantastic points of view.
Antelope Stag
Patch: 5.5
Swift and sure-footed, antelopes have been favored as mounts by the tribes of Abalathia's Spine since ancient times. In recent years, ancient magicks have also made it possible for the creatures to fly so long as the rider has sufficient reserves of aether.
Antelope Doe
Patch: 5.5
Denizens of grasslands, antelopes once ranged as far as Coerthas before the Calamity buried the region in snow. Though coveted for their meat and milk, the creatures have eluded full domestication owing to their ornery temperament.
Cruise Chaser
Patch: 5.5
Created by the genius minds of the Illuminati, this warmachina is capable of assuming bipedal and airship forms to adapt to the changing conditions of battle. Smitten by its design, it is said that a certain warmachina fanatic has a mind to produce a miniature version.
Landerwaffe
Patch: 5.5
Armed literally to the wings, this mechanical dragon is believed to have been created by the Allagan Empire to combat the creatures whose form it mimics. Magnificent and proud, it allows none upon its back save one whom it deems a true hero.
Resplendent Vessel Of Ronka
Patch: 5.5
After being stolen from ancient Ronkan ruins, this mystical urn passed through many an illicit hand before coming to be in yours. Blowing into the flute found within caused it to thus burgeon with the divine and take on a golden glow─an auspicious sign if ever there was one.
Gilded Mikoshi
Patch: 5.5
In order to secure enough coin to fund their seven-year festival, the Namazu sought the counsel of Rowena, who spoke thus: if you want to make great profit, sell wares of great worth. And what could be worth more than a gilded mikoshi borne by eight gilded Namazu?
Polar Bear
Patch: 5.5
In search of ice to make frozen treats, the confectioner Nekeke traveled to an isle in the northern seas, where she encountered this hulking creature. A bite of her sweets was all it took for it to follow her back to Eorzea, where it subsequently grew fond of you.
Diamond Gwiber
Patch: 5.5
Believed to have been absorbed into the Diamond Weapon, this plate-clad being answers the call of a horn imbued with the power of an unknown primal, the summoner of whom is believed to have been a member of the Corvosi resistance.
Lunar Whale
Patch: 5.5
Produced by Garlond Ironworks based on mysterious tales from a distant land, it not only resembles a whale on the outside, but shares its voluminous belly. With enough room for the pilot and seven passengers, it stands─or rather, floats─in a class of its own.
Gabriel Mark III
Patch: 5.45
As any experienced adventurer knows, if a previously bested enemy appears again with a new color scheme, it will pose a significantly greater threat than before, or at least, take longer to kill. Luckily, this miniature prototype is on your side, or so you hope.
Cerberus
Patch: 5.45
In addition to its immense strength and three gaping maws lined with razor-sharp fangs, this voidsent boasts incredible longevity, having lived since the Third Astral Era. The collars, of Allagan design, are believed to make it as tame as a puppy, though it may simply be biding its time before devouring its keeper.
Big Shell
Patch: 5.41
Raised by a Qiqirn culinary connoisseur, this carefree crustacean formed a bond of friendship with its keeper, and in so doing, escaped the cookpot. Though it may not be the most obvious choice for a mount, its smooth, round shell makes it one of the more comfortable.
Construct VI-S
Patch: 5.4
This flashy golem was constructed by a band of commerce-minded kobolds hoping to establish regular trade with their seafaring neighbors. Coated in Lominsan red, propulsion power is apparently enhanced by as much as thirty percent.
Chocorpokkur
Patch: 5.4
This bizarre creature is the result of an enormous korpokkur coming into contact with vast amounts of chocolate. It has since taken to journeying far and wide to deliver sweet treats to anyone who does not immediately flee at the sight of it.
Prototype Roader
Patch: 5.4
Salvaged from the battlegrounds of Gyr Abania and restored by goblins, this devilishly speedy─yet decidedly unwieldy─contraption is said to have a mind of its own. In this case, however, that turn of phrase may have a ring of truth to it...
Emerald Gwiber
Patch: 5.4
Called forth by a mysterious horn infused with the power of an unknown primal absorbed by the Emerald Weapon. Whether it sees through the glowing orb at the front of its snout or some other means is unclear.
Eden
Patch: 5.4
The existence of this miniaturized replica can be attributed─as with many, many other things─to a combination of aether and crystal, a fragment of which was discovered inside Eden itself. The result was this smaller likeness, which may be summoned at will and is *probably* less likely to trigger an apocalyptic catastrophe.
Snowman
Patch: 5.4
Scholars maintain that the tradition of building snowmen originated in Gyr Abania, where they were used to encourage blessings such as “cold” and “snow.” Considering that the region is almost entirely covered in arid desert, how the snowmen were built in the first place remains a mystery.
Gabriel Α
Patch: 5.35
Prior to building a full-sized prototype of a new transforming armor dubbed *Gabriel*, project engineers created this scale test model to perform aerodynamic testing. While it passed said tests with flying colors, it was observed that its engine may be prone to running hot.
Construct 14
Patch: 5.35
During their excavation in the Clockwork City of Goug, the IVth Imperial Legion discovered a host of worker automata, which they repurposed for war. As the name suggests, this particular construct is the fourteenth to undergo such a transformation.
Megalotragus
Patch: 5.31
Preferring colder climes, this imposing herbivore left its original habitat in Abalathia's Spine and migrated to Coerthas, which had frozen over in the Calamity's wake. Its kind are a primitive species that has largely remained unchanged over time, with some known to awaken to magical powers.
Incitatus
Patch: 5.3
Under the patronage of its mistress, Rowena, this enchanted steed has led a pampered life. Able to comprehend language, it was often seen attending Khloe Aliapoh's storytelling sessions, her tales of high adventure inspiring it to set out on one of its own.
Ehll Tou
Patch: 5.3
First encountered as a curious dragonet, Ehll Tou became a dragon grown during her stay in Ishgard. With her passion for crafting, she underwent an evolution heretofore unseen in her kind, developing dextrous forelimbs that allow her to deftly wield all manner of implements.
Magitek Hyperconveyor
Patch: 5.3
Guided as ever by the ethos of constant advancement, imperial magitek engineers returned to improve their conveyor system, simplifying its assembly and trimming weight by 8%. The result is enhanced fuel efficiency, demonstrating that even world-conquering empires can be environmentally minded.
Jibanyan Couch
Patch: 5.3
Despite being modeled upon Jibanyan, an Earthbound Yo-kai, this couch is able to fly. It is said to be so comfortable as to turn men and Yo-kai alike into useless layabouts.
Gwiber Of Light
Patch: 5.3
This light-bathed being answers to the sound of a horn imbued with the power of a hero of eld. In another time and place, perhaps it was the mount of a valiant soul who rose up against evil. Or perhaps not. The truth lies amidst the blinding light.
Rolling Tankard
Patch: 5.3
Based on a concept by the legendary Watts, this dwarven warmachina is propelled by a nine-cylinder radial ethanol engine. Its turret-mounted crystal cannon makes short work of sin eaters, while its arms can perform essential motions such as upending tankards.
Chocobo Carriage
Patch: 5.3
A ubiquitous mode of transportation in Eorzea, the chocobo carriage is kept aloft by ceruleum gas-filled bladders. This technology traces its origins to an early Ixali dirigible that crashed in the Twelveswood and was seized by Gridanian authorities.
Pteranodon
Patch: 5.21
In the course of feeding upon food scraps discarded at the *Bounty*, this creature grew so familiar with men as to allow riders upon its back. This goes to show that the way to a prehistoric creature's heart is through its stomach.
Albino Karakul
Patch: 5.21
Though karakuls ordinarily have black fleece, this creature raised in the paddocks of House Haillenarte was born snowy white. This rarest of qualities spared it a fate at the dining table, and it grew to such a size as to be able to bear people upon its fluffy back.
Dhalmel
Patch: 5.21
While attempting to nibble at a tree on a nearby isle, this dhalmel lost its footing and fell. As it plunged towards certain death, the fervent desire to live awakened its latent ability to harness the wind, and thus did it soar to safety. This may or may not have happened, but let's say it did.
Rubellite Carbuncle
Patch: 5.2
Those adventurers who have longed to hop on their Carbuncles' backs can give thanks to the arcanist Ulan, whose research into Diamond Carbuncle provided the necessary cues to create an arcane entity of ridable proportions. As its form is maintained by a large rubellite, it can be summoned even by those unversed in the ways of arcanima.
Ramuh
Patch: 5.2
It is believed that Shiva's summoning in the Empty caused lightning-aspected aether left over from your battle with Ramuh to coalesce. The resultant crystal, when imbued with magic, gives rise to an entity which assumes the form of the Lord of Levin in all of his horse-legged, hulking glory.
Hybodus
Patch: 5.2
A close relative of the tornado shark, this fearsome fish soars the skies by means of an organ that allows it to manipulate wind-aspected aether. The four fins protruding from its head are used to deftly control its course in flight.
Ruby Gwiber
Patch: 5.2
Believed to have been absorbed into the Ruby Weapon, this plate-clad being answers the call of a horn imbued with the power of an unknown primal. How the secrets of the horn came to be passed on to its summoner remains a mystery.
Great Vessel Of Ronka
Patch: 5.2
This ancient Ronkan urn was discovered empty save for a peculiar flute, the sound of which caused the vessel to suddenly become thus occupied. “Where did it come from?” the curious may be compelled to inquire, but the wise know better than to question the divine.
Kingly Peacock
Patch: 5.2
From the Near East to the Far, the peacock has long been esteemed not only for its beauty, but also its penchant for eating harmful vilekin. This particular creature belongs to a breed created by improving a species indigenous to Othard with geomancy.
Spriggan Stonecarrier
Patch: 5.2
Grown to a prodigious size by virtue of its appetite, this spriggan was choking on a chunk of ore when it was found and saved by a band of miners. Seeking to repay the kindness of men, it took to carrying their burdens, which apparently includes men themselves.
Menoetius
Patch: 5.2
Following their successful recreation of Epimetheus, Garlond Ironworks set out to refine the vehicle's design. Their efforts resulted in Menoetius, a model which retains its predecessor's speed while boasting improved comfort and manufacturability.
Epimetheus
Patch: 5.2
Garlond Ironworks recreated this warmachina from a blueprint acquired by a Scion operative on a covert mission to Garlemald. As the dimensions were missing from the document, however, its size had to be estimated, the resultant vehicle being rather smaller than the original.
Construct VII
Patch: 5.15
Having taken prisoner what they thought was an automaton during a skirmish with the kobolds, Maelstrom officers were shocked to find that it was instead a type of synthetic golem─but not so shocked as to not immediately bring it to Naldiq & Vymelli's for repair and later sale.
Morbol
Patch: 5.15
Though all it has ever wanted is to help, this morbol was found to be “too sweet” to present a challenge at the Celestium, and was transferred to the Blue Mages' Guild before it had even seen its first match─only for it to be deemed “insufficiently vile” there as well.
Ufiti
Patch: 5.11
Having survived a cull of its kind by bloodthirsty adventurers on its native Diadem, this ufiti mastered the art of riding the winds, that it might set forth on a journey to find a worthy leader. Despite its brawn, it possesses a surprisingly delicate touch─and just as well it does.
Forgiven Reticence
Patch: 5.1
Alerted to its presence in the basement of Eulmore, the hunters of Clan Nutsy set out to vanquish this sin eater. Upon seeing that the creature was not aggressive, however, they decided to keep it instead.
Shadow Gwiber
Patch: 5.1
Answering to a horn imbued with the power of a sorcerer of eld, this draconic arcane entity is believed to have been created by Emet-Selch on a whim─an act that would have barely taxed his powers as an ancient.
Portly Porxie
Patch: 5.1
A prodigious porxie created by the Nu Mou Lugg Aenc for transportation purposes. Fond of sausages, it oft spends its free time in the curing chamber, and thus has come to take on the aroma. While comfortable to ride thanks to its soft curves, expect regular rumblings from its belly.
Magicked Bed
Patch: 5.05
Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Voeburt, there lived a member of the royal family slothful of body but quick of mind. This man desired naught more than to never be parted from his pillow, and so commissioned a bed that could fly...only to swiftly take to the sky without paying for it. He, presumably, lived happily ever after.
Skyslipper
Patch: 5.05
Once belonging to the imperial family, this unique craft was abandoned in a grotto by its owners due to a malfunction. It was later retrieved via airship and stored in the Crystal Tower, where it lay until its recent rediscovery and restoration by artisans of the Crystalline Mean.
Battle Tiger
Patch: 5.0
In the region of Bozja in Ilsabard, the sabertooth tiger has long been employed in warfare as part of infantry. Many soldiers developed an enduring bond with the beasts, whom they would affectionately refer to as their “kittens.”
Amaro
Patch: 5.0
Of all the mounts seen in Norvrandt, naught is more ubiquitous than the amaro. Originally created by the mages of ancient Ronka, who selectively bred the flightless cama, present-day beasts carry the seed of their ancestors, which may manifest in the form of superior intellect.
Sunspun Cumulus
Patch: 5.0
There is but one man in all of Hydaelyn who can create such a mystical masterpiece, and it is said he resides upon a misty peak hidden within the mountain ranges of Doma. Crafted by stitching together dozens of smaller clouds dyed golden by the sun, this cumulus is said to bring good fortune to its rider.
Circus Ahriman
Patch: 5.0
Raised in hopes that its Dread Gaze would reap a bountiful harvest of terror, this ahriman proved a disappointment. It has since found a new calling as an adventurer's trusty mount.
Innocent Gwiber
Patch: 5.0
Answering to a horn imbued with the almighty Innocence's power, this draconic arcane entity is enveloped in the selfsame glow as the Lightwarden whence it takes its name. Rest assured it is not a sin eater.
Ironfrog Mover
Patch: 5.0
Dwarven artisans have reinforced this automaton to improve lower body durability as well as installed a propulsion unit to enable flight. The techniques employed in its creation are a jealously guarded secret, and a blight upon the beards of they who betray it.
Triceratops
Patch: 5.0
In defiance of its bulk, this prehistoric horned beast has been rendered capable of flight courtesy of its saddle. Employing Ronkan ingenuity, the singular contraption was modified from an artifact discovered within ancient ruins by the moogle Nutsy, fearless leader of the clan of her namesake.
Fae Gwiber
Patch: 5.0
Desiring to recreate the fantastical beast known as the dragon, a sorcerer from ages past fashioned a horn imbued with Titania's power. The creature which answers the sound is aglow with fae magicks.
War Tiger
Patch: 5.0
Even among tigers, the sabertooth is said to be notoriously difficult to tame, but those creatures raised from birth may come to bear riders upon their backs and into war.
Grani
Patch: 5.0
Possessed of a strength of both mind and body that is unmatched in the First, as a mount, Grani has no peer on land nor in the heavens. It is said, however, the noble creature will only accept a rider who has pledged to restore shadow to a land bereft of night.
Demi-Ozma
Patch: 4.5
After concluding that Ozma of the Weeping City was but a preliminary attempt to weave an aether-based simulacrum of the Eurekan phenomenon Proto Ozma, the Students of Baldesion endeavored to apply similar magicks in the creation of what they dubbed “Demi-Ozma,” hoping to learn what makes the entity tick.
Magitek Avenger A1
Patch: 4.5
Proving once again there is naught a Garlean engineer can do that a goblin cannot do better, this magitek avenger, nicknamed the “Yeti,” has been repurposed with several layers of self-insulating exoplating, which draw on the ceruleum engine's residual heat to keep the rider warm even in the coldest of climes.
Eurekan Petrel
Patch: 4.5
Of all the species of petrels known to man, the Eurekan petrel is the only one which is not actually a petrel, but, in fact, an oversized carnivorous sea slug. Admittedly, unlike most sea slugs, this unique variety possesses the capacity for extended flight, hence the understandable misnomer.
Regalia Type-G
Patch: 4.5
To hear Cid tell it, equal parts elbow grease and gumption were all that was required to see the Type-G (for “Garlond”) fully operational...when, in all truth, the otherworldly carriage most likely required an amazing amount of reverse engineering to recreate.
Hallowed Kamuy
Patch: 4.45
Abandoned by its master, this loyal canine was discovered by the auspice Seiryu and granted a new life in service of the thousand-year-old lord.
Kamuy Of The Nine Tails
Patch: 4.45
Only an individual who has proven his worth by taming no less than seven kamuy might summon this fabled vulpine auspice from her burrow in the heavens. Despite obvious similarities to the *other* vulpine auspice, Kyubi of the Nine Tails, this ageless vixen has her own storied history...which is, sadly, too long to list here.
Sabotender Emperador
Patch: 4.45
No one knows exactly why the Manderville Gold Saucer was built to resemble a sabotender, just as no one knows why its mascot is a sabotender or why more than half of its drink menu features sabotender-themed “cact-tails.” This giant flying sabotender will not see you any closer to those answers, but it is fun to stare at.
Maxima Roader
Patch: 4.45
Following their discovery of an imperial roader abandoned in Gyr Abania, several clever goblins came up with the ingenious plan to not only refurbish the damaged warmachina, but to improve upon its design by adding cermet alloy exoplating and reorganizing synthetic musculature.
Magicked Carpet
Patch: 4.45
It is said an ancient king of Corvos, upon conquering a tribe of faeries, bid the faerie queen weave her magicks to forge an object the likes mankind had never seen. The queen was executed shortly after presenting the king with a flying carpet. This is not *that* carpet, but at least no one was slain in its creation.
Eldthurs
Patch: 4.45
Despite the imposing name, naturalists believe Eldthursar to be naught but yeti whose ancestors forswore their icy mountain homes, choosing instead the molten lakes of Pyros to raise their young. Though not necessarily known for their obedience, this particular specimen has been trained to accept the orders of a rider without taking a bite out of her thigh.
Fat Black Chocobo
Patch: 4.45
According to those familiar with this prodigious poultry's journey from flightless fledgling to full-blown fowl, the cloudkin achieved its staggering girth after several summers of gluttonously gulping chunks of charred chicken. Though, many speculate that the chocobo is, in fact, no chocobo at all, but a heretofore unseen spirit (or demon) of Dravania's dark wood.
Magna Roader
Patch: 4.45
Following their discovery of an imperial roader abandoned in Gyr Abania, several clever goblins came up with the ingenious plan to refurbish the damaged warmachina. The auto-pilot systems, however, were beyond repair, so the engineers were forced to compromise by adding a mannable cockpit.
Fatter Cat
Patch: 4.45
Seeing as how this pursy pussy can defy the very laws of physics by propelling itself high into the firmament, it is very likely that the creature is either a voidsent using a bloated cat's corpse as its corporeal vessel, or a deceased pet reanimated by one well versed in the necromantic arts.
Magitek Sky Armor
Patch: 4.4
After engine failure saw this single-seated warmachina abandoned on the field of battle, it was salvaged by members of the Eorzean Alliance who had the device sent to the Garlond Ironworks for research and repair.
Model O
Patch: 4.4
Though it is difficult to fathom why Omega would require a weaponless flying mount designed to comfortably accommodate a denizen of Hydaelyn, Garlond Ironworks engineers posit the construct was fabricated in an attempt to better understand its enemies.
Euphonious Kamuy
Patch: 4.4
Having sacrificed its life to save his master, this magnificent canine was spared the pull of the Lifestream by the auspice Suzaku and her scarlet flames of rebirth.
SDS Fenrir
Patch: 4.4
Manufactured for use by the now-defunct Strife Delivery Service, this two-wheeled monstrosity's ceruleum engine howls like the silver wolf of legend as it propels its rider across desert and plain.
Indigo Whale
Patch: 4.4
Pods of these massive wavekin are believed to traverse the Indigo Deep for thousands of malms in pursuit of food. Why they would choose to limit themselves to the confines of the sea despite possessing the capacity for aether-assisted flight is a mystery scholars have pondered for centuries.
Typhon
Patch: 4.4
Since his summoning from the void by the Thaumaturges' Guild, Typhon has experienced his share of ups and downs. Through an employment opportunity at the Manderville Gold Saucer, however, the gaping-mawed horror─described by close acquaintances as quiet and reserved─has (figuratively speaking) landed back on his feet.
Rathalos
Patch: 4.36
Many a brave hunter has attempted to topple this flame-belching beast from his fiery throne atop the forest, yet only a few can claim to have conquered the King of the Skies.
Juedi
Patch: 4.35
Its ancient Doman name loosely translating to “ludicrously swift steed that runs so fast its feet no longer touch the ground,” Juedi is yet another horse of legend, showered with geomantic magicks to grant the creature the gift of flight.
Dodo
Patch: 4.35
For centuries people of the Far East believed the dodo lost─the cloudkin hunted to extinction by poachers who would use its feathers for petticoats and its eggs for cheesy omelettes. The recent discovery of a nest in the upper echelons of Heaven–on–High, however, has given naturalists hope that the species may still endure.
Prototype Conveyor
Patch: 4.31
It is not in Garlean nature to leave well enough alone, and so, not a single moon after the completion of their new conveyor system, imperial magitek engineers returned to the drawing board to improve upon their creation─replacing existing steel exoplates with *high-quality* steel exoplates.
Safeguard System
Patch: 4.3
One of the automated system drones deployed by the Allagans to maintain and protect their strongholds. After being unearthed by the Sons of Saint Coinach, the mechanical sphere's processing unit was updated with the aid of Garlond Ironworks engineers to improve security.
Mikoshi
Patch: 4.3
Due to excessive zeal on the part of Gyoshin, this mikoshi was crafted with more cloudsbreath than is necessary or, indeed, safe. Thus, it not only floats atop the shoulders of its bearers, it soars aloft regardless of their presence─though that does not discourage them from clinging to its poles anyway.
Magitek Conveyor
Patch: 4.3
It is not in Garlean nature to leave well enough alone, and so for the past twenty summers, imperial magitek engineers have been perfecting the art of aerial transport. Surprisingly, it is not outfitted with an active weapons system─clearly an oversight that will be amended in the next model.
Lunar Kamuy
Patch: 4.3
When a wild wolf living in an abandoned imperial stronghold is bathed in the aether of a goddess reborn, amazing results are to be expected.
Red Hare
Patch: 4.3
Ganen was known for his imposing presence on the battlefield, a trait that can partially be attributed to his mount, the Red Hare─a lightning-swift steed magicked to stride the very heavens. This horse is said to be a direct descendant of the awe-inspiring stallion. Probably.
Tyrannosaur
Patch: 4.25
Alarmed scholars report that the “T-Rex”—as it is called by those short on ink—has gained the power of flight through continued exposure to the Isle of Val's turbulent aether. Despite its ferocious nature, some still approach it, insisting it can be tamed by an adventurer of great strength.
Air Force
Patch: 4.2
From the amount of ordnance equipped, one can gather that this oddly shaped airship was employed in battle. However, being from the Sigmascape, who employed it and when are anyone's guess. The shark maw painted on its bow suggests an underwater civilization.
Broken Heart (Left)
Patch: 4.2
Burdened with a warehouse of unsold broken heart chairs, House Valentione came up with the diabolic plan to repurpose the cushions with cloudsbreath and peddle them to the unknowing masses as flying mounts. Lady Lisette dreams of one day riding the hearts on her honeymoon.
Broken Heart (Right)
Patch: 4.2
Burdened with a warehouse of unsold broken heart chairs, House Valentione came up with the diabolic plan to repurpose the cushions with cloudsbreath and peddle them to the unknowing masses as flying mounts.
True Griffin
Patch: 4.2
Covered in the pristine white feathers representative of a true griffin, this native of Abalathia's Spine has been trained by Giff, one of the Ala Mhigan Resistance's most competent handlers. So tame is the creature that it will even emit powerful bursts of air on command.
Marid
Patch: 4.2
There was once a time when if someone told you they witnessed a marid aloft, you could have had them committed to a sanatorium. Now, marids crisscross the skies thanks, in part, to magicked carpets which the Ananta affix to the backs of beasts they train for battle.
Magitek Death Claw
Patch: 4.2
Ancient Allagan weaponry known as an “iron claw” is believed to be the inspiration for this deadly example of imperial ingenuity. While most of the death claws deployed in battle are used for logistical purposes, this particular model has been customized by stationarii units for enemy capture.
Auspicious Kamuy
Patch: 4.2
Said to be swaddled in the very winds of heaven, this majestic creature was once a brutal killer of man. A chance meeting with auspice lord Byakko, however, saw the bloodlust in its heart fade.
Nezha Chariot
Patch: 4.2
Yanxian legend tells of a chariot that would carry gods and heroes across the heavens that they might keep watch over their earthbound children. Surprisingly, the realm's flora and fauna are unscathed by the fire and wind belched forth by the divine carriage.
Citrine Carbuncle
Patch: 4.15
Those adventurers who have longed to hop on their Carbuncles' backs can give thanks to the arcanist Ulan, whose research into Diamond Carbuncle provided the necessary cues to create an arcane entity of ridable proportions. As its form is maintained by a large citrine, it can be summoned even by those unversed in the ways of arcanima.
Aquamarine Carbuncle
Patch: 4.15
Those adventurers who have longed to hop on their Carbuncles' backs can give thanks to the arcanist Ulan, whose research into Diamond Carbuncle provided the necessary cues to create an arcane entity of ridable proportions. As its form is maintained by a large aquamarine, it can be summoned even by those unversed in the ways of arcanima.
Korpokkur Kolossus
Patch: 4.1
In search of an ideal home, this korpokkur journeyed long malms before finally coming to a stop at the Gold Saucer. The trek across the scorching Sagolii had reduced it to a withered husk, but when next it drank, it experienced what could only be described as an epic rebound.
Magitek Avenger
Patch: 4.1
The goblins have carried out extensive work on this magitek avenger, among other things changing it from an autonomous killing machine to one requiring a pilot. After all, there's no substituting the satisfaction of dealing vengeance with one's own hands. Sort of.
Flying Chair
Patch: 4.1
Featuring elegant lines and designed to minimize waste, this lovingly crafted chair is bound to fly into the hearts of adventurers the world over. No assembly required.
Striped Ray
Patch: 4.1
Raised and trained by the Kojin, this striped ray has the same mellow temperament as its original masters. Its flat body works in like fashion to the aether-imbued wings of an airship, allowing it to catch water- and wind-aspected aether to glide through both sea and sky with ease.
Legendary Kamuy
Patch: 4.1
Perpetually enveloped in a divine glow, it is said to have been born when an Ala Mhigan war hound chanced to bathe in Shinryu's light in the moment of the primal's birth.
Starlight Bear
Patch: 4.1
Unlike his wild cousins, Kochab the bear can be relied upon to delight folk rather than tear them apart. Raised from a cub by Celebrant Baenfaeld, he has mastered the art of Starburst-lobbing, a skill that proved useful in hunting down thieving treants.
Mystic Panda
Patch: 4.1
Armed with the unexplainable ability to levitate...and little else, this thousand-year-old creature (age unconfirmed) has descended the ancient peaks of the Othardian Fanged Crescent in search of a hero to help Doma wrench free from the iron clutches of the Garlean Empire.
Managarm
Patch: 4.1
Some say that Managarm is merely a myth. Others believe it to be an extinct beast. Both are wrong, as you well know. According to Abalathian legend, this fearsome hound roams the celestial sphere in pursuit of the moon, whose light it relishes─or so it may appear to those who witness it soaring the skies, spawning spectral flames.
Falcon
Patch: 4.05
An independent project of Garlond Ironworks engineer Wedge, this single-rider airship allegedly recorded some of the fastest flight speeds ever...until a tragic accident following an attempt to see how high the ship could soar convinced its creator that perhaps a modicum of restraint was necessary.
Alte Roite
Patch: 4.05
While none can be certain the exact intentions of a self-aware interdimensional construct, logic suggests this winged aberration is a reimagination of Alte Roite─a legendary wizard who is said could take the shape of a dragon at will.
Ixion
Patch: 4.0
Ask any Gyr Abanian youth, and she will tell you the story of Ixion, Rhalgr's steed─swift as a levinbolt and strong as thunderclap. However, the discovery of several ancient Mhachi texts suggests that the creature may simply be a stallion augmented by ancient technologies that have granted it life eternal...and the ability to shoot lightning from its eyes.
Syldra
Patch: 4.0
Legends say there once lived a kindly sea dragon who befriended a pirate, and that their friendship knew no bounds. This is not that sea dragon; however, with a little time and caring, who is to say that a similar relationship cannot be forged? ※Sea dragons have no relation to actual dragons.
Centurio Tiger
Patch: 4.0
In a rare display of misguided compassion, a member of Clan Centurio returned from a Hunt with the cub of a slain S-rank mark. Unable to grant it mercy, the veteran took to caring for the beast until his deceit was discovered and his membership revoked. But by then, not a single member could bring themselves to harm the pet they had all come to love.
Yol
Patch: 4.0
High atop the granite peaks of Othard's Fanged Crescent do the yol claim their demesne, descending to the Azim Steppe to prey upon warriors who pretend not to fear the monsters of their ancestor's tales. Rare indeed is it that a yol might cede its back to man, though to those who have proved their mettle, the creatures have been known to make exception.
Battle Panther
Patch: 4.0
History tells us that no dark hero's story is complete without the companionship of a wily panther. Their sable coat, their savage nature, their attunement with the umbral, their thirst for blood. It is as if the gods created these creatures in the image of a dark knight...or perhaps it was the other way around.
Battle Bear
Patch: 4.0
The bears of Abalathia's Spine are not known to suffer the presence of man in their territory, let alone allow one to mount their backs and command them hither and yon. Then what, pray tell, has come over this particular specimen? Perhaps one look into your inner beast convinced the creature that submission spelled survival.
Battle Lion
Patch: 4.0
There was a time when members of Ul'dah's elite Sultansworn strode the Steps of Nald and Thal atop silver-plated lions, striking fear and awe into the mewling masses. An effort to return to those days of glory has seen the summoning of several of Thavnair's most prominent beast tamers to the Rose of the Desert.
Magitek Predator
Patch: 4.0
Predator series warmachina were originally designed to improve magitek reaper killing potential via the addition of close-quarter weaponry. While the extra firepower led to a higher kill ratio, the weight it added hampered maneuverability. This unique model appears to have had its weapons removed and replaced with an experimental propulsion engine.
Reveling Kamuy
Patch: 4.0
Upon receiving from his Kojin worshipers the offering of a sad, orphaned wolf pup, Susano proceeded to grant him the gift of flight, as well as an impressive coat of glowing fur, that he might be worthy of the revel.
Blissful Kamuy
Patch: 4.0
Believe it or not, this monstrous canine did not always glow, only achieving its heavenly effulgence upon receiving the blessing of Lakshmi after being offered to the Lady of Bliss by her loyal Ananta dreamers.
Lone Faehound
Patch: 4.0
Covered from muzzle to tail in an otherworldly silver coat, the faehound appears more akin to something out of a faerie tale than from the nether-reaches of the void. Yet do not be fooled by the beast's appearance, for he is an equal in strength to all but the highest ranking voidsent, his heart swollen with savagery from a lifetime hunting alone.
Pack Faehound
Patch: 4.0
Covered from muzzle to tail in an otherworldly silver coat, the faehound appears more akin to something out of a faerie tale than from the nether-reaches of the void. Yet do not be fooled by the beast's appearance, for she is an equal in strength to all but the highest ranking voidsent, her heart swollen with savagery from a lifetime leading a pack of her own.
Pack Hellhound
Patch: 3.55a
Having commanded armies in the hellish darkness that is the void, this demonic beast will not soon submit at the feet of another. Which is why it is all the more surprising that the hound would allow someone on her back.
Lone Hellhound
Patch: 3.55a
Having survived, alone, the hellish darkness that is the void, this demonic beast will not soon suffer the presence of others, choosing typically to attack before he himself becomes a victim. Which is why it is all the more surprising that the hound would allow someone on his back.
Archon Throne
Patch: 3.5
Despite claims that it was once the chair of Louisoix Leveilleur, former residents of Sharlayan have confirmed that it is naught more than an ordinary furnishing enchanted by a Great Gubal Library bibliophile who was tired of not being able to reach the upper shelves.
Eggshilaration System
Patch: 3.5
After learning of the latest of the Dreamer's visions─a giant floating ovoid delivering eggs to all the good boys and girls of the realm─Nonotta and friends literally scrambled to find a means of bringing her dream to life. All it required was a little aid from the Sons of Saint Coinach...and the remnants of some ancient Allagan technology.
Raigo
Patch: 3.5
The most daunting of Mado horses, Raigo eclipses its unholy brethren Goten and Ginga in both size and ferocity. As such, the creature will not suffer the burden of carrying a soul unbloodied, and therefore unworthy.
Firebird
Patch: 3.5
The Far East is home to numerous legends concerning birds of flame who sacrifice their lives to save the world, only to rise from the ashes of destruction to rule the skies once again. The Firebird is one of those legends...made a mount.
Demonic Lanner
Patch: 3.5
The centaurs of ancient Meracydia believed that their mighty god Zurvan would send out his lanner before a battle to inform his enemies of their impending defeat.
Ginga
Patch: 3.5
This otherworldly mount, cobbled together from the carcasses of noble beasts and armored in elaborate silver plate, is said only to accept as riders those who have proven their might and mettle on the fields of battle.
Goten
Patch: 3.5
This otherworldly mount, cobbled together from the carcasses of noble beasts and armored in elaborate gold plate, is said only to accept as riders those who have proven their might and mettle on the fields of battle.
Flying Cumulus
Patch: 3.5
There is but one man in all of Hydaelyn who can create such a mystical masterpiece, and it is said he resides upon a misty peak hidden within the mountain ranges of Doma. Crafted by stitching together dozens of smaller clouds, the cumulus allows a single rider to explore the skies...but only if she has an inherent affinity for magicks.
Arrhidaeus
Patch: 3.4
Fabricated within Alexander's internal manufactories, Arrhidaeus was primarily used to wreak temporal disruption on any and all invaders. This particular construct saw its weapons systems overridden following capture, and now serves as a glorified transport module.
Black Pegasus
Patch: 3.4
While uncommon, tales of pegasi black as ink can be found amongst the folklore of countless tribes. One similarity, however, can be observed in nearly all the renditions─that those unworthy of the steed will have their very life essence sapped the moment they climb upon its back.
Sophic Lanner
Patch: 3.4
History tells us that disruption in balance 'twixt good and evil will invariably result in suffering. The noble lanner serves to restore that balance by placing upon the goddess Sophia's scales the weights of equilibrium─most commonly depicted as our heroes of legend.
Whisper A-go-go
Patch: 3.35
Moved by your unyielding dedication and patronage, the wandering executive once again commissioned the architects of the Gold Saucer, this time to upgrade the Whisper-go as a gift from himself and his friend, the wandering minstrel.
Disembodied Head
Patch: 3.35
E-Una-Kotor created this winged monstrosity using stone hewn from the very walls of the Palace of the Dead in an attempt to better understand the guardian golems which watch over the Lost City of Amdapor. That the face chosen for the design bears an uncanny likeness to a certain someone is one stone best left unturned.
Whisper-go
Patch: 3.35
Taken in by the vibrant sights of the Gold Saucer, the wandering executive sought out the plaza's architect to design him a vessel of transportation similar in flamboyance to its myriad attractions. The seats are so finely upholstered riders swear it is as if they are floating on air.
Fat Moogle
Patch: 3.35
This plus-sized patrician epitomizes the ancient moogle proverb regarding kupo nuts that says, “Once you kupop, you cannot stop.” Basic laws of physics suggest that wings as small as the fat moogle's should not provide enough lift for true flight...yet here we are.
Aerodynamics System
Patch: 3.3
Unearthed in the eastern lowlands of Coerthas, engineers surmise that this particular Allagan drone would likely have been used in aerial defense, although its weaponry functions are now beyond repair. Even so, it is still quite convenient as a transportation device.
Dark Lanner
Patch: 3.3
Consumed by malice, these birds roost in Nidhogg's lair, and regularly bathe themselves in the aetheric tempests surrounding the Aery. Sight of their glowing wings outside the Churning Mists can set the commonfolk into a panic, as they are thought to be the Horde's harbingers of death.
Cloud Mallow
Patch: 3.3
While cloud mallows grow naturally in the Churning Mists, some of the inhabitants of Moghome have spent generations cultivating their own seeds to allow for stronger stems and larger yields of mallow puffs, a sprinkling of which can stimulate even the most lethargic of moogles to work with unbridled joy.
Astrope
Patch: 3.3
The emergent studies of winged horses had to be rewritten with a single sighting of Astrope, confirming that adult pegasi are not only enormous in size, but also possessed of a horn. Wary of most, Astrope only allows those of gentle heart to climb upon its back─a back large enough to seat two!
Bennu
Patch: 3.25
This bird was reborn after drinking deep of the aether that flowed forth from the immortal Phoenix, who appeared in the skies of Carteneau during the Calamity. Named after a legendary bird, bennu means “a shining object, rising in brilliance.”
Original Fat Chocobo
Patch: 3.2
Maybe not larger, but definitely more in charge, this most gluttonous of gluttons inspired the others to great weights. Although most modern chocobos have yellow plumage, historic tomes portray birds covered in feathers whiter than the whitest snowfall─ All the better to see the stains of its many meals.
Gloria-class Airship
Patch: 3.2
Taking inspiration from the half-remembered dream of his grandfather Tatanora, Tataramu used his encyclopedic knowledge to design a small-scale version of a rotary-winged airship. Its name derives from an airship that appears in an obscure novel of unknown origins.
Warring Lanner
Patch: 3.2
These birds are enveloped in an aura radiating a majesty that belies the savage nature of their master. According to the ancient legends of a treelike people native to Meracydia, the lanners bore the seeds of the World Tree across the seas, planting the verdant forests that dot the realm today.
Round Lanner
Patch: 3.2
These birds are possessed of dignity equal to the noble personages whom they serve. Ancient Ishgardian knights often indulged themselves in falconry, and lanners were revered for their abilities, their lyncean eyes being well suited for sighting prey on the ground.
Rose Lanner
Patch: 3.2
The ferocity of these birds is enough to give pause to the bravest warrior, and their keen talons cut through flesh as cleanly the Chandrahas themselves. Any who endeavor to mount the rose lanner must possess the savagery that defines the Wrath of the Colony.
White Lanner
Patch: 3.2
These birds are clad in roiling clouds, and noble Vanu Vanu warriors would sit astride them as part of Bismarck's retinue. The grace with which they glide through the skies evokes the image of a flower petal being carried by gentle western winds.
Zu
Patch: 3.2
This massive bird hunts by grasping its prey within its saw-like beak, and finishes it off with a few violent shakes of its long neck before swallowing the now-dead quarry whole.
Kongamato
Patch: 3.2
After hatching from an egg laid near the riverbanks, the kongamato larva spends its early life as a water-dwelling insect. Its maturity is signified by metamorphosis, during which its wings sprout forth and it takes to the skies.
Wyvern
Patch: 3.1
Fifty score years ago, this wyvern made a pact with a knight to aid in vanquishing evil from the skies. Even now, long after the knight's passing, the wyvern has kept that promise, ever circling the heavens─ignoring the calls of his brethren to take up arms against mankind.
Red Baron
Patch: 3.1
Constantly modified and improved by Nero himself, this warmachina of Garlean construct barely resembles the suit issued to tol Scaeva on the day of his promotion to tribunus.
White Devil
Patch: 3.1
This masterpiece of imperial ingenuity is the selfsame suit of warmachina operated by XIVth Legion tribunus Livia sas Junius in the Garlean Empire's subjugation of Othard's southern reaches.
Pegasus
Patch: 3.1
While rumors of a winged horse have graced ancient tomes for centuries, until recently, very little in the way of proof of their existence remained save the random feather or horseshoe housed in some remote monastery's reliquary.
Sanuwa
Patch: 3.1
Countless turns of the sun did Luna Vanu train this wild sanuwa to obey the orders of man, and for many moons did he wait for one he deemed worthy of taking up this noble cloudkin's reins. Wait, he did, until you arrived.
Witch's Broom
Patch: 3.07
Once an ordinary household cleaning tool, relegated to such menial tasks as sweeping and...sweeping, this broom's life changed upon being enchanted by the ogre pumpkinhead. Now the skies are its dusty floors.
Gobwalker
Patch: 3.05
Originally designed to be a less-fickle replacement for pack raptors, the gobwalker was quickly reoutfitted into a tool of war after it took twenty goblins to chase down and topple a walker that had gone out of control and destroyed an entire workshop.
Twintania
Patch: 3.0
Bound to eternal thralldom via an Allagan neurolink, this ancient wyvern from the southern continent of Meracydia will remain a loyal servant as long as you possess its identification key.
Amber Draught Chocobo
Patch: 3.0
To Ishgardians, red represents true love and loyalty. To this wild chocobo from the Dravanian forelands, it meant capture at the hands of hunters who easily found a red chocobo sticking out like a sore thumb in the midst of all his yellow brethren.
Black Chocobo
Patch: 3.0
A purebred Ishgardian black chocobo, trained from birth by House Fortemps knight, Ser Haurchefant, and presented to you in a gesture of true friendship. The bird is slightly more muscular than you expected and exhibits the strange habit of squatting when left to itself.
War Panther
Patch: 3.0
While more difficult to train than their cousins the coeurls, panthers bring their riders much more advantage on the field due to the beasts' inherent affinity to various magic. It is also believed that many dark knight battle techniques were conceived by watching panthers hunt.
Manacutter
Patch: 3.0
Supervised (in spirit) by the ever-absent Cid, Biggs and Wedge (with a little bending over by Biggs) put their heads together to create this flight-ready miniature airship, powered by the realm's first corrupted crystal engine.
Griffin
Patch: 3.0
Fantastical winged beasts native to the unscalable peaks of Abalathia's Spine, griffins actually have a long history of serving as mounts. Indeed, before the city–state's fall, the Ala Mhigan army maintained a regiment of griffin–back soldiers who would harry opposing forces.
Midgardsormr
Patch: 3.0
Only after proving your bravery in the face of countless perils has the Father of Dragons found you to be a worthy heir to the Light, and granted you a place upon his back.
Fenrir
Patch: 2.51
Following the rise of Ishgard, hoarhounds all but disappeared from the Coerthas highlands. However, the shift in climate caused by the Calamity has seen the legendary beasts descend from their mountain dens once more.
Adamantoise
Patch: 2.51
Native to the Near Eastern island of Thavnair, adamantoises were long thought to be impossible to domesticate. However, through the efforts of both Ul'dahn naturalists and thaumaturges, a handful have been successfully trained not only to accept riders, but also wield ancient magicks which allow the colossal scalekin to fly.
Logistics System
Patch: 2.5
One of the automated system drones deployed by the Allagans to maintain and protect their strongholds. After being unearthed by the Sons of Saint Coinach, the mechanical sphere was modified by Nero tol Scaeva into a personal transportation device.
Kirin
Patch: 2.5
Ask any man in Othard who rules the realm of beasts, and you will receive the same answer─Kirin. It is believed that the lionlike creature has walked the eastern lands for over a thousand years and will only answer the call of a hero it has deemed worthy.
Ceremony Chocobo
Patch: 2.45
Raised by Ishgard's master breeders for beauty and purity of stock, its snow white feathers are natural and, though fully developed, as soft as down. Temperament-wise, the bird is remarkably docile and one of few breeds who will allow dual riders upon its back.
Parade Chocobo
Patch: 2.4
Originally purchased by the Adventurers' Guild for use in festival parades, this portly steed quickly wore out his welcome by devouring a moon's worth of fodder in a single turn of the sun. Unable to pay the price of upkeep, the guild passed the reins to someone more “commendable.”
Boreas
Patch: 2.4
Legend states that the Lady of Frost, Shiva, birthed this magicked steed from a unicorn offered by her followers in sacrifice.
Sleipnir
Patch: 2.38
Blessed by the elder primal himself, Sleipnir will forever remain loyal to those who have proven themselves worthy. In addition to being fearless in battle, the dark steed is also able to manipulate his corporeal form to accommodate any rider, large or small.
Direwolf
Patch: 2.35
Mass cullings of the beasts during the Sixth Astral Era prompted naturalists to deem the species extinct. However, this claim was proved false when Ixali scouts discovered a lone pack roaming the sparsely inhabited mountains of Xelphatol.
Markab
Patch: 2.3
Legend states that the Lord of Levin, Ramuh, drew forth this magicked steed from a nightmare offered by the sylphs in sacrifice.
Flame Warsteed
Patch: 2.3
After witnessing dazzling demonstrations of how a warsteed might turn the tide of battle, the Grand Companies of Eorzea emptied their coffers at the feet of the Far Eastern uma bugyo, each seeking to put themselves at an advantage during Frontline campaigns.
Serpent Warsteed
Patch: 2.3
After witnessing dazzling demonstrations of how a warsteed might turn the tide of battle, the Grand Companies of Eorzea emptied their coffers at the feet of the Far Eastern uma bugyo, each seeking to put themselves at an advantage during Frontline campaigns.
Storm Warsteed
Patch: 2.3
After witnessing dazzling demonstrations of how a warsteed might turn the tide of battle, the Grand Companies of Eorzea emptied their coffers at the feet of the Far Eastern uma bugyo, each seeking to put themselves at an advantage during Frontline campaigns.
Draught Chocobo
Patch: 2.3
This heretofore unseen breed of chocobo was said to have been discovered by chocobo hunters searching for the legendary Chocobo Forest. Its enormous size would make it a fine pack chocobo, but its foul temper prevents it from completing even the simplest of tasks without the injury of some poor rider.
Warbear
Patch: 2.2
In generations past, warriors seeking fame and glory would journey out into the untamed wilds of Abalathia's Spine in search of the giant grizzled bears that roamed the mountains, and would wrestle the beasts into submission, riding their prizes back to civilization. That is, or die trying.
Warlion
Patch: 2.2
Early in the Sixth Astral Era, lions were brought over from the Near East and trained to serve as battle mounts for the Sultansworn of Ul'dah. Deemed unbreakable, those not sold to the Coliseum for venationes were released into the deserts of Thanalan where they eventually reverted back to a feral state.
Enbarr
Patch: 2.2
Legend states that the Lord of the Whorl, Leviathan, birthed this magicked steed from a nightmare offered by the Sahagin in sacrifice.
Gullfaxi
Patch: 2.2
Legend states that the Lord of Crags, Titan, wrought this magicked steed from a nightmare offered by the kobolds in sacrifice.
Xanthos
Patch: 2.2
Legend states that the Lady of the Vortex, Garuda, created this magicked steed from a nightmare offered by the Ixal in sacrifice.
Aithon
Patch: 2.2
Legend states that the Lord of the Inferno, Ifrit, forged this magicked steed from a nightmare offered by the Amalj'aa in sacrifice.
Bomb Palanquin
Patch: 2.2
Upon learning that his creations were forever lacking the power to combust, 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go did what any master of explosives would─attach the bombs to the corners of an iron bench and create a floating coach.
Cavalry Elbst
Patch: 2.2
To ensure his elbst do not find themselves at a disadvantage to swift-running chocobos, Pahh of Novv's Clutch clips the webbing on their feet at a young age, rendering them more capable of achieving high speeds on land─though they will ever be slower than their brethren while underwater.
Fat Chocobo
Patch: 2.2
Playfully described by some as “large and in charge,” in truth, when summoned, this gluttonous gourmand will flap nary a feather unless a garland of gysahl greens is dangled before him─in which case not even the laws of nature can slow the fat chocobo down.
Nightmare
Patch: 2.1
While it is no secret that it was the enigmatic Ascians who provided the beast tribes with nightmares, their reasons for doing so remain shrouded in mystery. Otherwise untamable, the single piercing tone of a magicked whistle is the only method known to soothe the savage beasts.
Gilded Magitek Armor
Patch: 2.1
It only took a few heated skirmishes with the allied city–states for Garlemald to realize that the magicks wielded by the realm's mages were too much for even the thickest of magitek armor plating. Alloyed gilding has since been discovered to dampen the effects of elemental charges and is now standard issue.
Laurel Goobbue
Patch: 2.1
After having the moss and flowers growing upon his head pulled up and tossed aside like common weeds by a band of sylvan ne'er-do-wells, this quiet-mannered goobbue was taken in and cared for by the sylphs of Little Solace whose elders crafted for him a magnificent laurel with which to hide his scars.
Cavalry Drake
Patch: 2.1
Training a cavalry drake is a long and arduous process that begins the moment the scalekin hatches. Never allowed to see its mother, the creature is raised solely in the presence of a drake whisperer while being weaned on the incendiary glands of aged battle drakes to ensure it is both submissive and deadly.
Behemoth
Patch: 2.1
Immediately following the Calamity, an adventurer returning to Gridania from Falcon's Nest in Coerthas claims to have happened upon a den of baby behemoths who had lost their mother. Despite objections from friends and family alike, she kept the beasts, eventually training them to serve as mounts.
Unicorn
Patch: 2.0
Not long ago, Eorzean unicorns numbered in the thousands, and could oft be seen roaming the Coerthas highlands in great majestic herds that would render the mountains white as snow. Poaching has caused the population to decline, and if it were not for your act of kindness, there would be one fewer.
Ahriman
Patch: 2.0
Though little is known of the void and the creatures which call the extra-dimensional realm home, scholars have discovered that there is a strict hierarchy amongst voidsent consisting of twelve distinct tiers. Ahrimans are believed to fall into the fifth, making them formidable foes...when not enthralled by curses.
Coeurl
Patch: 2.0
Native to the jungles of the Near East, coeurls were only recently introduced to Eorzea, brought over from faraway lands such as Thavnair by Ul'dahn nobles who thought to breed them as pets. Now, but a handful of skilled tamers living in recluse on the Pearl are said to be able to train them.
Magitek Armor
Patch: 2.0
This suit of Garlean-developed reaper-class magitek battle armor has had its original control systems purged and replaced with a new, modified core built by Cid of the Garlond Ironworks.
Legacy Chocobo
Patch: 2.0
In the five years following your sudden disappearance from the Carteneau Flats, your ever-faithful chocobo spent each waking moment galloping across the realm in search of his lost master. His myriad adventures are nothing less than fantastical and heartbreaking...but that is a story for another day.
Goobbue
Patch: 2.0
Traded for a song by the High Satrap of a distant land, the secret to taming these creatures once thought to be unbreakable was introduced to Eorzea by a mysterious wandering minstrel who journeyed through the realm in the final days before the Calamity.
Company Chocobo
Patch: 2.0
Born and bred in the city–state of Ishgard, the majority of company chocobos are geldings of the rouncey variety; however, massive destriers and miniature Belah'dian jennets are also raised to accommodate the builds of Roegadyn and Lalafellin riders respectively.
