It's pretty common in sci-fi and fantasty to see people riding animals, both real ones like horses, mules or donkey or pretend ones, like unicorns, dragons, or blurrgs, so I thought that would be a fun theme this time. The only rule for what's in the entries is that it has to be a living animal, or a robotic animal, so now vehicles or anything like that. And since I made the mistake of unlimited entries in one of my last polls, this time I'm limiting it to 3 entries per poster. The rest of the usual rules will apply, 200x200, 1MB, and work safe. Daenerys riding one of her dragons in Game of Thrones Geralt riding Roach, with Jaskier in The Witcher San riding a wolf in Princess Mononoke
A couple of tauntauns and a friendly earth worm... Cartman Luke Worm Rider from Dune EDIT: Uploaded new Luke gif.
Just one for now, which is a reuse. I have some other ideas, but I currently don’t have access to my usual gif making software, and I’d like to do them as animated gifts, rather than static. ( @Kai "the spy" , I believe you once mentioned an online gif making tool?) Gandalf and Shadowfax
The Sultan of Basra riding a mechanical flying horse in The Thief of Bagdad (1940) Kirk and Picard in Star Trek: Generations (1994)
That's the one. Also, to create a gif from a video (YouTube, DailyMotion, etc.), I often use gifs.com, as the ezgif converter doesn't work well for online videos. #1 He-Man riding Battle Cat; He-Man & the Masters of the Universe
It works!!! Thank you both very much! Na’vi riding those bird-things in Avatar Hercules riding Pegasus, Hercules I was going to enter Tessa and Ramoth from the epic Dragonriders of Pern movie, but then I remembered there is no epic Dragonriders of Pern movie. Why isn’t there an epic Dragonriders of Pern movie??
I think I'll stick to animation. #2 Taarna riding her unspecified flying mount; Heavy Metal #3 Marshal BraveStarr riding his chief deputy Thirty/Thirty; BraveStarr
I meant to end this today, but I forgot and I'm about to get off for the night, so I'll make this a last call for entries and set up the poll tomorrow.

Woops, I totally forgot about this. I've been spending most of the week watching The Olympics, so that distracted me. Here's the poll
