In fantasy novels, it was common for the main character to have a mount (or not). In novels, mounts were usually a powerful tool that could help the protagonist gain more advantages in battle. In some novels, the protagonist might build or obtain a mount himself. Other novels might have the protagonist rely on the mounts of other characters in certain situations. Whether it was built by himself or by relying on the mounts of other characters, the mounts of the main characters in fantasy novels should have some special ability that could bring advantages to the main characters. For example, it could be a faster horse or a magic mount that could release ice or fire elements.
