Early Access! These skills are purposely vague because I'm purposely lazy. Or... (and?) because I need the flexibility to change skills if the story calls for it. Take what's here with a grain of salt. I would sooner break continuity with this here fine website than make the story worse.

FAQs

Questions about the Aquanda

What would you like to know?
Wait... An Aquanda has two mounts!?

That's right! All Aquandas get a horse by default for land travel. Their choice of mount, then, is between various water animals, which are able to swim in salt and fresh water.

That said—should you wish for something a bit different—all Neutral mobs may be trained as a mount if certain unknown conditions are met.
