Seems like those are not planned as mounts but rather as pack animals. http://sotawiki.net/sota/Cria So when pack animals show up in the store then we should see them again.
I always liked the llamas, but I was an ostard man myself. I had a nice blue one until I got the ethereal one
Hmm. Actually that would be a real thing. If they would have a stretch goal llama which could be placed in either slot as you wish. Mount or pack animal. With the promise that only stretch goal llamas would have that ability. Then those would fly off the shelves. Even if everyone else could get the same effect by simply having two animals. Like a horse and a donkey. So no P2W, just the luxury of convenience. (And the real collectors could have two llamas, one as a mount and one as a pack animal. )
y'know, i'd heard the phrase "spit test" rarely before and not known the etymology, but it clearly wasn't the modern scientific "run tests on spit" meaning. looked up llama colors on wikipedia, now i know. (llama colors do not vary as much as horses but there's still room for a few variations. ...aside from purple.)
