Aquatic mounts early Alpha-1 gameplay.

Aquatic mounts are Tier A mounts that may be obtained from taming underwater creatures.

• Aquatic mounts are faster in water and slower on land.
• Aquatic mounts will be able to fully traverse naval areas and water areas.

An intrepid explorer could choose to traverse on his tide snapper alone. – Sarah Flanagan

• Aquatic mounts will have utility skills that are useful in fishing, such as fish finding.

Mounts will have skills that relate to fishing in some way shape or form, least the water mounts. Whether that be getting out to a particular area, whether it be like some type of fish finding or chumming the area. There could even be benefits while fishing in the water while mounted, like, you're on the back of your turtle out there just sitting in the water casting your rod, or your line. – Steven Sharif

• Animal husbandry will affect aquatic mounts.
