What are good Orc mounts? I'm looking for some good beasts of burden/mounts for my setting (nothing is set in stone just want to know what you guys like to par with orc)

Classically, Orcs often rode Wargs.
Although, I've recently become fond of pic related. They're really fucking cool.

Depends on what kind of orc we're talking about.
I like big fuckoff coyotes.

The orcs as I imagine them are just hunter/gatherers who fight with dinosaurs on a daily basis.
Fight. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

This is actually a good idea.

The bane of my existence. These things are even worse than the Graug.

Pigs. Big-ass fucking pigs with dirty great tusks. Go with classic orcs and they are basically sapient anthro pigs, makes sense. Combination mount, food supply and sexual relief.
Rhinos

If you're not rhino mounted you aren't doing it right.

What about something scarier, say perhaps, a hippo?

I've always liked Orcs on Boars since I've seen Da Boyz in Fantasy riding Boars.
There's a line that always makes me laugh, "The boar will keep fighting until several moments after it is technically dead" or something.
But really anything that is as rough and tumble as the Orcs themselves would fit I think.
Giant scorpions or centipedes.
>>43979403
Wouldn't they just ride whatever is available and strong enough to carry a huge orc?

Only if you're willing to stay close to water.
Hippos need to keep wet.
Plus Hippos are pretty scary, but more so than rhinos? idk. They can both fuck you up.

Giant lizards
>>43981645Ork riding Rhinos you say?

Horses. If they're the best mounts for humans, then they're the best mounts for a race 95% like humans.
If orcs are a big military threat despite being (relatively) uncivilized, then they must necessarily have some (relatively) advanced technology to threaten everyone else. Why not give them (relatively) rudimentary war vehicles? I'm sure there's some way a wizard could have done it.

I don't like my orcs having mounts.
The domestication of horses is kind of a human thing. It helps them stand out as the civilized and advanced race. The only other riding animal I like in a setting is chocobo like "raptors".
I may have my orcs riding chariots pulled by a pair of dire wolves, though.

Other Orcs. It's the only ride Orcish enough.
