Can the new duckie mount be adapted to Carbot's stick horse?
We all love our best friend Carbot and want his horse stick mount in the game. But we know it's a problem having to add new mount animations for all heroes, so maybe it's a bit hard to implement.
Looking at the new rubber duckie mounts it seems to me that they could be work in being a horse stick mount. I don't know what it looks like when you ride them because I can't get them in the PTR.

We love the stick horse too!
The animation used on Pumped up Pato is the the same as the animation we use for some of our four legged friends you've been riding for years. We have talked for many years on how to get this mount in game and we believe we have a plan but it will not be any time soon. This mount would mean we have to touch 89+ heroes minus the ones who would not be able to ride said mount (sorry Azmodan and Abathur) and give them new animations. That's a big commitment to one mount.
We want to do it. If our plan goes well you still won't see it any time soon because of the time commitment. so hopefully one day and with the blessing of our best friend we'll see this guy in the nexus.
