So here’s a small project I’ve been working on lately, based on something that (in my opinion) lacks in the world of Monster Hunter we know: a proper mount that is fast, has a lot of stamina, is used outside of quests and is easier to set up than an airship or a sandboat (those requiring a whole crew, resources etc).

Additionally, it’s supposed to be less dangerous and more realistic than other types of existing “mounts” (such as Kirin from Stories, y’know). As for Tailraiders and the like, these are only used on hunting grounds (as far as I know; haven’t got Iceborne yet), and not to galop on roads between cities.

With Equinoth (basically a reptilian horse to fit this world’s aesthetic) anyone who knows how to ride can travel quickly between two towns, for example to deliver urgent messages, bring some remedy to a sick friend or on the contrary run away from problems as fast as possible.

In case you didn’t notice, the name “Equinoth” is built from “equine” referring to horses, and “-oth”, a typical ending for many small Monster names (Aptonoth, Larinoth, Epioth, Ludroth…). The name also sounds like ‘equinox’ which both is fancy and can refer to the two-colored pattern most Equinoths show (equinox, day and night, all that). Plus apparently it’s also a car model, which is fitting, heh.

I would love to hear what you guys think about this concept, so feel free to share and comment! (And if you ever feel like drawing one of your own, make sure to credit me and tag me so I can see!)
