Mounted Legends

10 heroes riding mythic beasts: a phoenix, a pegasus, a griffin, a white tiger, a nine-tailed fox, a war bear, a thunder beast, a qilin, a stone lion-dog and a white stag. Big 224x224 frames, with rider and mount animated together.

Every hero ships with 18 animations: a full side-view moveset and the same moveset seen from behind, so they drop straight into side-scrollers, brawlers, auto-battlers, tactics games and top-down RPGs.
