I did do a drawing of a pretty quick-looking spiky rat, but I decided to make that an enemy. Long bodies just arent great for speed. Maybe if the body itself flexes dramatically as they run, with a springy spine, but that's not a fun ride for the rider, y'know? Similarly vetoed a rolling hoop or ball type like some kind of armadillo or hoop snake.. but they are all good enemy ideas :D

Hmmm....

- Long-bodied: You could put the saddle on the back of the neck or on top of the head. I'd recommend looking at Ark: Survival Evolved for references on how saddles can be placed on unusual body types
- Hoop snake: ...I just had the weirdest idea. The hoop snake rolls around with the rider suspended in the middle like a gyroscope!

I had the same idea, but that's kinda weird, and he wouldn't be able to uncurl. Good ideas :D
