    So, I'm fairly sure that Chucklefish either isn't planning on adding that majestic beast to the game, or that they won't be doing it any time soon enough to quench my thirst for awesomeness. Thus I bring forward a suggestion not for Chucklefish themselves, but for the community of modders who happen to be at a metaphorical brick wall in their work. Obviously, unlike other modifications that add mounts such as mechs or rideable monstrosities (kudos to those beautiful things) this masterful creation of gaming gods will not be able to fly around, shoot laser cannons, or breathe the fire that forged the One Ring. I would suspect that maybe you could equip weapons whilst riding it, (I would hope that you are riding it without a saddle so that it's brilliant sheet metal hide is decimating your groin's integrity both physically and in pride) perhaps melee alone (furthermore perhaps in the form of added lances, but the great creature itself is the star of this particular show) or also bows and guns, for those who do not prefer the life of a true knight. Finally, perhaps the magnificent beast itself could come in several forms in the way of dyes: Making it's pure epicness with blue and white dye, for example, would result in a blue-white mantle. Maybe if it was made with additional metal it could have armor in addition to whatever jerkin it wields.
    I have no suggestion for what amount of steel or other material you desire would make the awe-inspiring, poem-worthy thing that is the Glitch Stallion, for no cost could truly be worth the ability to ride it, to glory in battle or errand in speed.

    TL;DR: I repeatedly comment on how amazing the beast is, while also describing ways it could be implemented mod-wise. Randomly ordered bullet-points for style!
    • Crafted with any metal material the modder desires, possibly mixed with leather.
    • Addition of lances would be cool, but unnecessary. Would make me happier, don't know about other people.
    • Using dyes in the construction of the stallion could possibly alter whether it wears a mantle and what color said mantle is.
    • While this may conflict with the first bullet, maybe if it's made with extra leather it could have a padded coat rather than mantle.
    • I would enjoy no laser-firing, jetpacking, or fire-breathing, but it's not exactly my mod, now is it?
    • Being able to wield your own weapons while riding it would also be a major plus.
    • Possibility of riding without a saddle would also be appreciated.
    I'm extremely incompetent (notice emphasis) and that is mostly why I'm even bothering to write such a long post describing something to be put into a game rather than finding out how to do it myself. If this angers you, do as you will, throw your rage at me, and exit this area. If it pleases you, go ahead and do as you will there because I don't have any suggestions - I did not expect anyone to be pleased.
    Last of all, I'm aware that by posting this it could potentially start races to do this first. But, probably not, as I'm just some nobody. Adieu.
