Forgot your password? By belgarathmth , April 13, in Shadow Warrior. Hello, I've just recently gotten into playing with mounted combat. I love my dragon mages' draconicons. I like how my current Shadow Warrior's hellhound plays, faster movement, more maneuverability, defense and hp bonus , but the biological design of the animal is bugging me. For starters, this beast is clearly not a canine. Its body structure most closely resembles that of an ape - high forehead, in-line jaw with no snout, massive upper body, less massive lower body, hip design is one evolutionary step away from walking erect.
So, should I think King Kong? Then, what kind of mammal moves like that? It hops with both hind legs and then lands on its forelimbs. The only mammal I can think of with that kind of motion is the rabbit - hardly a cool mount for a warrior! Even worse, the only animal in the entire animal kingdom I can think of which moves exactly like the hellhound is the frog!
A giant, furry frog? Again, not cool. The ends of the forelimbs appear to be in armor, but are those paws or simian hands in there? They're awfully small for a creature that leaps into the air and then lands with its entire body weight slamming into those forelimbs.
And what is it with those feet? Again, they look more froggish than mammalian. And furthermore, the beast looks too top-heavy. Its preferred method of locomotion is to hop and jump. Any creature which behaves that way ought to have hindquarters which are more muscular in relation to the upper body, not less. Has anyone who uses hellhounds imagined some way to think of it as a cool companion?
It can't be a canine as the name implies - no snout, no long tail, and it doesn't move or behave right. So could it be some kind of bear? Or is ape the best way to think of it? I considered werewolf, but there's that missing snout again.
I wonder if the art designers for the hellhound were thinking of brachycephalitic flat-faced dogs like the bulldog and bull mastiff. That would also make a connection to the much-loved Mabari from Dragon Age.
Maybe they were thinking of making the hellhound like a giant, rideable Mabari. Or maybe something like a Wookie, or the Hoth ice monster. Those images help me get into him a little more, but I still think I would have preferred a more traditionally canine appearance, such as a scaled-up wolf like the kobolds and goblins ride. When Ascaron was still alive in time before 'Ice and Blood' Anca Adelina Finta did a first of april joke, claiming that the new special mount would be a terrible beast which turned a whole fertile continent into a desert the descriptoipn sounded like australia and it builds nests in caves and bringing the bones of prey into the cave, cursing them for all time.
It had razor sharp teeth and it hind legs could do boxiung while the front feet had 'horse shoes' with deadly claws. Even a picture was added sadly it seems Anca's account vanished, so no longer the pictures at the german forum.

User Info: champofflame champofflame 12 years ago 1 k gold My level 28 shadow warrior on silver is dominating. What's cool is, I can cast "shadow veil" while on my mount and be invisible, and since the hellhound is a class mount, my skeletons don't vanish like they did when I was riding a normal horse.
So it goes like this- I go invisible on my mount, go a-f-k, and let my minions do the work. I eventually can stay invisible the entire time and do this.
Damn the shadow warrior is tight. And he looks awesome riding it, like he is a james dean rebel. He rides it like his bottom is on the mount like normal , but his legs aren't spread out. He has his legs up. It is hard to explain. I wish i could take a screenshot. If that happened, you do need to buy yourself a new one. And be more careful, :D Thorin :.
