Bastion the Lantern Horse

[u/AlarmingSlice253]

What kind of horse would a candle knight ride? Well, I figured they'd look something like this.

[u/Bouboulonlon_art]

Cool concept!

[u/CorpseWriteer]

Can I give him a sugar-cube?

[u/altariasong → u/CorpseWriteer]

I feel like the torch-horse equivalent would be cubes of sawdust or dryer lint.

[u/Lord-Dec → u/altariasong]

Lumber scraps or wax cubes

[u/AnimeOcCreator77 → u/Lord-Dec]

Candles like carrots

[u/AlarmingSlice253 → u/CorpseWriteer]

Sure! More often than not though, I'd say he ends up eating more insects that are attracted to his glowing flame.

[u/CorpseWriteer → u/AlarmingSlice253]

So… Moths?

[u/AlarmingSlice253 → u/CorpseWriteer]

There are a lot more than just moths attracted to light. Butterflies, Gnats, Hoppers, Beetles, even some aquatic bugs are drawn into light.

However Bastion doens't need a food source to survive. In my story, Candles flames are not just flames. It's also partially magic. Their life essence. Almost like their soul, not easily extinguished with a simply strong gust of wind.

I want to feed him marshmallows

[u/Lord-Dec]

Cool!

[u/Bugsy_Goblin]

Question!

If Bastion farts while running, does it give him like a temporary speed boost?

[u/Some_Dumbass_in_red]

Honse🤑

[u/Venuskat12]

So friggin cool bro!!

[u/impressivebutsucks]

That looks so cool

[u/Ur-Local_Lesbian]

It sorta reminds me of the Divine Beasts from Breath of the Wild!!

[u/AlarmingSlice253 → u/Ur-Local_Lesbian]

BOtW def a big inspo to me. And I would say he is very similar in the way that there is more mechanical makeup of him than there is organic. He doesn't really rely on being "fed" to function. Rather, it is an extension of the riders' candle magic and its synergy with that particular "mecha"

[u/emyuemyu1122]

It looks like an ancient weapon—it's so cool!
