Yes, i know a lot of minecrafters want the Red Dragon to be the first minecraft flying mount.
well for how much i would like to ride a dragon around there are several problems.
1. dragons like to eat people.
2. our current dragon destroys everything in minecraft as it flies.
3. still not a balanced way to get them in game.
I present to you what I think fits into the over world very well and could also makes animal farms slightly harder to use in certain Biomes. this is......
The Griffin
(sorry for the bad picture. no scanner away form college)
This mob only spawns in Extreme Hill Biomes and is very rare. when it spawns a nest/"den is places on the highest naturally spawned area in the biome( not within 40 blocks on a player placed block.)
height at top of head is 3 blocks
Behavior
Day: flies around in the sky looking for passive mobs( pigs,cows,sheep,squid) when it finds one. its swoops down and grabs the mob. brings to up high enough and. drops it. then goes and picks up the items and ether flies back to its nest( full after 3 items) or keeps hunting. (note if the griffin cant see the mob, IE roof over it, it will not target it)
Night: flies back to its nest and sleeps.
Ideas to get your own Griffin.
1. feed adult griffon all types on raw meat ( pork chops, beef and fish)
2. steal Egg from adult ( it at nest when Griffin is spawned) makes thats adult griffin hostile at you.
do things to make the egg hatch( incubate in furnace maybe)
as a baby it follows you around and u must feed it when it gets hungry.( will not go underground.
It takes 1 full minecraft week for it to grow into a adult.
once it grows into a adult it will fly off and make a nest within 40 blocks on your bed.( highest naturally spawned point.)
How to Fly
Right click a saddle on your tamed Griffin be able to mount it.
To fly the Griffin need stamana.
to fill its stama bar you need to feed it food.(raw pork chops, beef and fish)
once it runs out of stamina it land on the ground because it can no longer handle your extra weight.
using the griffin as a ground mount does not decrease its stamina.
if you dismount i, it will stay in the location you left it till night. then it will fly back to its nest.
if dismounted at night it will wait 2 min before to goes back to its nest.
please tell me what you think . and if you think anything should be added before i sent it to a modder or Jeb is a idea.

I like the idea, but it should only go up to a certain height above the ground, so that it isn't just like being in Creative mode with hunger (Which is very similar to stamina, maybe instead of stamina it could use your own hunger bar to base it's energy on). I believe it does need to be balanced differently, though, by adding limits instead of making something really neat simply really hard to find.
By the way, I really like your artwork. Lots of people can recolor/copy stuff from the game, but I don't often see people design their own creatures. Would it be possible to draw a Griffin in flight, with a player on its back?

1. This dragon would be less aggressive maybe even shy.
2. This dragon would not be able to fly through terrain.
3. You need to bring live animals to feed it, it appears only twice in a random biome, you need to feed it in order for it to fly.
Dragons would be cool to see in the overworld, but this idea is just is too much. It's a little hard to think about because it adds so much to the game that doesn't already exist. This would be multiple months of coding and release would make for a ton of bugs to do nothing but ruin minecraft. If it were perfected, I would enjoy a simple flying mount, but if it acted like boats do in multiplayer, I would modify my .jar to remove them as best as I could.

did the olict attacking chickens break minecraft.
also if the creature of Mo creatures can make alligators drag stuff around. so can the minecraft guys. and if they cant..... then they probably shouldn't be working on this game and give it back to notch.

i like the idea its seams a little too easy to get one though i have a network of neather portals that take me all over my world it wouldnt be hard to fnd one with time and since food stacks its really not hard to have a lot of it

what part about rarely spawned and wont spawn within 40 blocks of a naturally generated block dont u understand?

how is it not balanced.
your need to spend food to fuel it.
it takes money mine craft days to get
is only found in one biome and rarely spawns.
what makes it unbalanced?
if your going to critises something what u think could improve it. not just say. " its bad because i said so and you wrong"

and yea i proboly could draw one in mid flight. just wanted to throw tht uo there to show a general idea.
give my a few d ays to get it up
