In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses unconventional mounts in video games that deviate from typical horses, highlighting how games offer a variety of fantastical creatures for players to ride. The list specifically excludes MMO mounts due to their abundance.
The first example given is “Ruin” from the game Darksiders. Released in 2010 for PS3 and Xbox 360, Darksiders follows War, one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who must traverse a land embroiled in a divine conflict. Mid-game, War reclaims his mount, Ruin—a fiery, demonic horse that provides speed, combat bonuses, and companionship. Despite Ruin’s bizarre characteristics, he retains the recognizable form of a horse, hence his inclusion on the list. Other mounts mentioned briefly include the dragons from the Panzer Dragoon series.

In this part of the video, the focus is on unique mounts featured in video games. It begins with Panzer Dragoon for the Xbox, highlighting its distinct airborne beasts that players ride into battle against a powerful empire. These mounts blend reptilian, insectoid, and biomechanical elements and are feared in the game for their legendary status and ability to shoot homing laser beams.
The video then transitions to Minecraft’s Striders, odd rock-like creatures used by players to traverse lava lakes. Striders are unique in the game as they take no damage from lava and can be tamed but are vulnerable to water. The segment closes with a mention of the fire-breathing praying mantis from “Golden Ax: The Revenge of Death Adder,” noting its rarity and unique abilities.

In this part of the video, the discussion focuses on various formidable creatures and mounts from different games. The video highlights “Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder,” an arcade-only sequel from 1992, which introduces unique rideable creatures like electric scorpions and undead lizards, with a notable mention of a powerful mantis with blade-like arms and fiery blasts. It goes on to describe the “Lord of the Mountain” from “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” a mystical and ethereal being that resembles a ghostly stallion with leafy antlers and a four-eyed visage, feared by stable masters due to its ominous presence. Lastly, the video touches upon the Brumak from “Gears of War 2,” emphasizing its role as a massive siege beast used by the Locust horde, virtually immune to regular weaponry and embodying the series’ penchant for over-the-top action.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, Marcus Phoenix and Dom Santiago from “Gears of War 2” hijack an enemy brumak to sink the city of Jacinto and flood the Locust Burrows beneath. They mount the brumak’s chain guns and rocket launchers to fight through Locust-infested caverns, but the brumak mutates into a lambent monstrosity. Marcus then uses it as a living bomb to sink the city, finishing the job with orbital laser strikes from a chopper.
The segment then transitions to “Terraria,” where players can summon and defeat the optional hard mode boss Duke Fishron with a truffle worm for loot, including the shrimpy truffle. This item summons a rideable version called cute fishron, offering unlimited flight and aquatic maneuverability but slowing significantly on the ground.
Finally, “Mother 3” (or “Earthbound 2”) is highlighted for its unique and humorous content. Released in Japan in 2006 for the Game Boy Advance, it features Lucas and his friends riding an animated coffee table, exemplifying the game’s blend of serious and ridiculous themes.

In this part of the video, the narrator describes a quirky scenario from a game where a coffee table supplied by Mr. Saturn is used as a mode of transportation to rescue a party member named Duster from enemies called pig masks. The coffee table is later replaced by a vehicle called the pork bean. The segment then shifts to discussing Coco, a dwarf from the game “The Crystal of Kings,” who fights atop an anteater that can attack foes and summon a horde of anteaters as a magic attack. The narrator notes that if Coco’s anteater is defeated, Coco’s combat abilities are significantly diminished. Lastly, the video talks about the squiggs in “Total War: Warhammer 3,” describing them as comical yet deadly fungus-based creatures ridden by goblins, capable of formidable destruction on the battlefield.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the narrator describes Squigs as dangerous creatures with unpredictable behavior. Although they can be utilized, they present a risk as they might attack their own masters. The narrator compares them to horses, noting that horses are much safer and less likely to cause harm to their owners. However, a cautionary note is given to players of Red Dead Redemption to remain vigilant even around horses.
