Anyone who’s a castle fan – LEGO or otherwise – has surely pictured a glamorous knight riding astride a horse towards fame and glory. But not everyone has access to horses. Sometimes, you just have to make do with whatever creatures live nearby. Simulterious has not just one, but two terrific examples of some alternative beasts of burden for us! On the right, we appear to have a variation of a deer. This makes sense – they’re kinda close to horses right? Just be careful not to hit the antlers when swingin your sword. On the left, something altogether more terrifying: an orc riding a spider. I love the effect of the flaming fireballs being launched from the back-mounted catapult! I dread to think how tricky it must be to tame a spider though. Then again, I suppose orcs are made of stern stuff.
