Frogster has revealed that the closed beta of ELIGIUM – The Chosen One, starts the next december 19th, and has unveiled some information of the game mounts.

Every mount's primary function is to bring its rider to their point of destination, without the arduous task of walking across mountains to get there. However, in ELIGIUM players can also ride their mounts straight into the heart of battle, without having to worry about dismounting. Of course, in order to make the most of them, players should take care to properly develop their mounts, such as by feeding them, otherwise a victorious charge could well turn into a painful embarrassment.

The process of raising your first mount begins with an egg; obtained from the many vendors found littered throughout the world. Once your mount has grown to adolescence it will give a boost to its owner's stats, but is not yet able to carry its master. But once fully grown, mounts can take part in battles alongside their owners, becoming extremely powerful allies, and by equipping mounts with powerful items certain attributes can grow stronger.
