This is a point that has been brought up a couple times.

There can be sharp divides within the community between those who want all the mounts and those who want a very narrow list of mount options.

On one side is a sort of argument against high fantasy whimsical things.

The other is of the anything goes variety.

With many opinions somewhere in the middle.

This one personally believes the realism ship sank long ago with rhino mounts and demon horses.
However, this one would prefer the options to remain somewhat grounded.

In that mounts could be divided between typical and exotic.

Exotic being creatures, such as Rhinos, that hypothetically are physically able to be mounts, but historically never were and are temperament adverse.

This one would prefer if exotic mounts had more developed perquisites to obtain.
Such that many would be locked behind either high levels of religion training, usually for Jhebbal Sag (who teaches the common language between men and beast), or Set (who deals in serpents), a scroll from the cultists of Sobek (because crocodiles), or high levels of Sorcery (for entirely unnatural mounts such as dragons or yakith) and would require perhaps very particular foods to raise them as mounts, eating hearts of heroes, powder of corruption, ect…
