Thread Title : Duegar Mount?

I have a Duegar 7th lvl LE Cavalier - who can now have a suitable LE mount? Just don't know what that might want to be... looking for suggestions?

Pegasas if I were a CG Cavalier - and we are in Iceland, and above ground.
There are giant owls, white dragons... I was thinking about maybe a large White Wolf?

I've been on a Ram - problem with me being a Cavalier is my mounts die alot!

Looking for ideas!

A wolf would make sense, for that climate.

Ask your DM what he thinks would be cool. It sounds like he is making a lot of changes to the rules, so he may well let you have something out of the ordinary

Thread Title : Mounts and A Bit of Imagination

Hellcats, Dire Hell Hound, Giant Spiders, and in some old Dragon magazines, they had unicorns - one for each alignment, the one for LE, I think was called an Azure Unicorn.  The mount doesn't have to be LE in alignment, just evil and weaker than you.  LE rules by strength, weaker creatures are to serve the strong.  The DM could have a high-level evil priest perform some ceremony for you which twists the nature of the mount to the way of lawful evil - remember this is a fantasy game.  As an example, I once had a gold dragon raised by red dragons, so the gold dragon was chaotic evil - a nasty surprise to the party who fought it.  Alignments are guidelines for creatures - they are the most typical alignment of the creature.  Putting twists like this in the game makes things interesting and bring about a lot of role-playing

Winter Wolf.  

Either that, or you can force a stupid humanoid to be your mount, much like the midget and giant out of mad max beyond thunderdome - Ogres work well, or a yeti for cold climes.  Previous poster gives good advice - evil and weak.  I'd look at the Black Unicorn from Spellbound.  5+5HD, 3d12 on a charge.  When it dies like all of your other mounts, take its horn and make a lance that 'does the same damage' as the unicorn.  Can't beat that one.  Or powder it for type N poison (save vs. poison for 25hp, or die; instantaneous).  

Young White Dragon.  :)

How'bout a figurine of wondrous power from the DMG? There are several options including a goat of travel and lucky for you no alignment restrictions!

Best!

Duegar are generally known for riding Steeders (giant spiders).  There is a very good ecology on the steeder in one of the older Dragon magazines.  They essentially lock a duegar in a room with a baby giant spider.  They come back in a few months after the spider has had a chance to grow.  If the Duegar is still alive it means he has tamed it.  
Should their steeder ever die, it is the right of the rider to eat it or vice versa.
