Before we have the penultimate post of my late posts for #RPGaDAY2020 we need to cover today’s theme, which is…

Today’s theme got me thinking about halflings and the creatures they ride.

Halflings can have some pretty cool mounts.

In the Forgotten Realms Ghostwise halflings can have giant owls as a mount.

These halflings are usually “Clan warriors known as nightgliders…” As a DM I would not insist that anyone playing a Ghostwise halfling who wanted a giant owl as a mount also had to be a warrior also. I think it could be made to work backstory wise how they ended up with a giant owl.

In Eberron Talenta halfiings “…are nomads who ride domesticated dinosaurs across the wide plains.”

I’ve said this in a previous post, frickin dinosaur mounts! How cool is that? It’s one of the reasons I want to be a player in an Eberron campaign.

In fact I’d be half tempted to “borrow” the idea for a Forgotten Realms campaign with the halfling coming from Chult to explain the relationship between halflings and dinosaurs.

And let’s not forget in D&D it’s possible for a halfling to have a wolf as a mount. Which would be pretty cool. I love the idea of a tribe of halfling wolf riders. It would hark back to a comic book that I loved back in the late 80’s, early 90’s called Elfquest.

See you tomorrow for the penultimate post tomorrow.
