Based on the Famitsu scan that Lord_DS posted a few days ago, this thing is supposed to be called a "Runga." You'll be able to ride around on it and it can fight with you.

If someone could extract the the Runga images and translate that section, I'll update the front page news and Animals guide after I get off work.

Maybe translated literally it may come out 'Runga'. Could be romanized as Lunga or Lunger. Im thinking it might have a lunging bite or jump atk. If so, VERY cool!

Ill have to check this info out on the site.

Well, it is attack-capable, although the screenshot just shows it doing some sort of fire-breath thing on some enemies. I hope that all of the rides have combat capability; fighting from the Land Rover/Ice Digger in PSIV was awesome.

There's also a small picture off to the side of Ethan riding around a forest/jungle river on a mini-hydrofoil thing.

*swans in with ripped images*

Yarr, here be the images from the flash. Check out his little stubby arms! And he.. er, breathes fire?

For some reason he reminds me of one of those dinosaurs you could ride atop in Golden Axe, back in the day. However, check out the miniature screenshot on the speederbike though - Ethan has some kind of action available to him through the action palette. Boost? Drive-by slash?

My translation of the new section.

You will discover a large variety of vehicles throughout your adventure. By using the "Flowder," you'll be able to move across the surface of water that you previously had no way to cross! On Moatoob, there's a native creature called a "Lunga" which will allow you to ride upon its back as it runs! Moving quickly about the field, the Lunga can destroy obstacles and attack enemies that are in your way with fire.

Exactly what I was thinking...

OK, I also made references to the Lunga in another post. I hadnt thought of Golden Axe's dragons. Think of what boss he looks like from another ST creation.

Kinda cool to be on the front page so early in my PSO World posting career

I wonder if we will be fighting mini or regular bosses with these animals. It would be a change of pace to do that. Most RPGs have you fighting bosses on foot. The animal would probally have to be near impossible to kill though. If She/He died, and was critical to beating the boss you would be in a heap of trouble.

I updated the Vehicles and Animals guide with the new information.

I agree that monster looks like one of the old animals from Golden Axe. There was a pinkish monster in that game that you could ride that would spit fireballs and allow you to tackle opponents.
