Mount Description
The Steed of the Green Dragon Inn is a horse mount from the LOTRO Anniversary Event. There are also matching war-steed cosmetics available for those with the tokens to spare.
Did you know? You can buy War-steed Cosmetics before you've unlocked Mounted Combat. Purchase and 'use' them. Once you get access to the Mounted Combat UI, your cosmetics will be ready for you.
Green Dragon Inn Mount Description
Unlike the Steed of the Unflagging Dragon this mount keeps your horse or pony looking like one!
However there are some dragon features:
- Small spikes down the back of the neck
- A tail wrapped over the forehead of your steed
- and then images of dragons themselves
Splashes of red material here or there infer fire, with smoke swirls reinforcing that image.
Pony of the Green Dragon Inn
For 'small folk' - Hobbits, River Hobbits and Dwarves - here is the pony version. I felt duty-bound to show it stood outside the Green Dragon in Bywater.
Different Angles
War-Steed Cosmetics
There are two items making up the whole war-steed outfit for this mount: A caparison that incorporates some saddle-like layer, and a head-piece. Your buying option are:
- Caparison: 40×
- Head-piece: 30×
- Whole Set: 70×
What I don't understand is that LOTRO enabled dyes in the war-steed for the 2024 cosmetics - and the area that dyes takes the colour very well. Obviously I don't have an issue with that, but the Outfit of the Green Dragon Inn cannot be dyed at all. So confusing. Anyway here are the War-Steed Cosmetics
My Opinion
All-in-all, I think the Steed of the Green Dragon Inn has been thoughtfully put together. Nothing is overdone. But that also creates a tension in me in terms of often choosing which mount to ride being based on an aspect that really grabs my attention.
Maybe I overthink things! This is certainly worth adding to your collection. And for only 40×, you may as well.
