And here we are in a Game that till now hasn't had them but has other large quadrupeds and is a FANTASY game with no bearing on what "real life" did/ has done. Game also doesn't need cats either, certainly of the domesticated feline types, there is a plethora of interesting animals to put in a game outside of the "typical" includes and since its a Fictional world they can have them be acting non "normal ~ ie the wolves/ bears being more aggressive than what they may be in "real life", Elk being ridden etc.
Id love to see Megafauna used for somethings even if just atmospheric wildlife with no "use" to to the player
