Creature mounts: ride a wolf, a bull, a dragon, or a war-tiger

The mount garage just grew teeth. Alongside the skateboard, hover disc and rocket, your founder can now ride actual creatures. Each one animated, each one strutting across your live map.

The stable

• Dire Wolf (1,200 sparks). A loyal companion that hunts churn and guards your streak. Watch for the glowing eyes.
• Market Bull (1,600 sparks). Ride the bull market itself, horns, gold nose ring and all. Pairs beautifully with the Bull Run backdrop.
• Ember Dragon (5,000 sparks). Legendary wings, glowing spine spikes, and a lazy wing-flap as it walks. If you see one on the leaderboard, someone has been shipping.
• Myth Tiger (7,500 sparks). The ultimate mount: an armored war-tiger with a gold face-plate and a neon-trimmed saddle, tail flicking as it prowls. It exists because we asked one of our longest-time supporters what his kind of mount would be, and he answered like a true child of the 80s. This one's for you, you know who you are.

And your founder doesn't just stand around on them. They sit in the saddle, leg over the flank, laptop still on their lap. All four gallop with proper leg animation as your founder patrols the live world map, and they show up everywhere your founder does: your character sheet, share cards, and the leaderboard.

One more thing

The Neon Frame backdrop is retired. It boxed your founder into a border that fought every mount and animation we want to build next, so it's gone from the shop, and if you owned it the full 600 sparks are already back in your balance. Spend them on a wolf.
