Any way to add the "mount" trait to an animal companion?

[Hobit of Bree]

Wasn't sure if this was a rules question or advice.

Is there any way, item, feat, etc. to add the mount trait to an animal companion that doesn't have it?

[HammerJack]

No.

I wouldn't expect that to change without some kind of limitation, since that would be throwing open the doors of unlimited flight at low level.

In short. No!

But you always can talk with your GM to allow you to use other creature skin with horse or Riding Drake basis.

[HumbleGamer]

No, and to me it's a matter of stats.

I'd allow a reskinned horse ( using the horse companion stats ) with no issues ( it can be a wolf, a bear, a dishwasher or anything else ).

[YuriP]

Ah, could be an eidolon too!

Yeah. Its extremely notable how they've avoided that.

Sort of. If it was a level 10 item or level 10 feat, it wouldn't impact low-level play. And flying isn't *that* uncommon starting around level 10.

Even at level 10 unlimited flight is pretty uncommon. As in non existent. Strix comes online at level 13. Druid soaring shape+form control or form control+pest form comes online at level 11 and 8s close to giving you unlimited flight but is pretty limiting.

Yeah, there's more limited versions earlier, but they're usually pretty short-time.
