== Riding ==
While mounts are technically vehicles, they're commonly rather referred to as a living [[creature]] s that can [[Age#Creatures|age and die]], be [[kill]]ed in [[combat]], and move at slower speeds when [[hunger|hungry]], instead of a mechanical vehicle.
There are a number of [[animal]]s and [[monster]]s you can ride as [[mounts]] if you meet the requirements. Once [[animal taming|tamed]] or [[dominate]]d, some can wear [[animal equipment]] to that can make them move and turn considerably faster. They are not affected by tile types and pavement, and move at their regular speed, even on [[tar]]. Mounts ignore the amount of [[stamina]] you have, and won't slow down if their rider is [[player status effect|exhausted]]. They are however affected by [[slope]]s you're riding up or down. Some [[animal husbandry|bred]] animals with speed [[Animal husbandry#Traits|traits]] and good [[animal equipment]] can reach speeds in excess of 30 km/h on any terrain. Others, while still useful for dragging carts, are only able to move at speeds slower than a walking player. But you're not riding your [[scorpion]] through town because you want to go fast, do you?
You can not take passengers on mounts at this time.
