{{5esrd}}
A knight charging into battle on a warhorse, a wizard casting spells from the back of a griffon, or a cleric soaring through the sky on a pegasus all enjoy the benefits of speed and mobility that a mount can provide.

A willing creature that is at least one [[SRD5:Size|size]] larger than you and that has an appropriate anatomy can serve as a mount, using the following rules.

==Mounting and Dismounting==
Once during your move, you can mount a creature that is within 5 feet of you or dismount. Doing so costs an amount of [[SRD5:Movement|movement]] equal to [[SRD5:Half|half]] your speed. For example, if your speed is 30 feet, you must spend 15 feet of movement to mount a horse. Therefore, you can’t mount it if you don’t have 15 feet of movement left or if your speed is 0.

If an effect moves your mount against its will while you’re on it, you must succeed on a [[SRD5:DC|DC]] 10 [[SRD5:Dexterity|Dexterity]] [[SRD5:Saving Throw|saving throw]] or fall off the mount, landing [[SRD5:Prone|prone]] in a space within 5 feet of it. If you’re knocked prone while mounted, you must make the same saving throw.

If your mount is knocked prone, you can use your [[SRD5:Reaction|reaction]] to dismount it as it falls and land on your feet. Otherwise, you are dismounted and fall prone in a space within 5 feet it.

==Controlling a Mount==
While you’re mounted, you have two options. You can either control the mount or allow it to act independently. Intelligent creatures, such as dragons, act independently.

You can control a mount only if it has been trained to accept a rider. Domesticated horses, donkeys, and similar creatures are assumed to have such training. The initiative of a controlled mount changes to match yours when you mount it. It moves as you direct it, and it has only three [[SRD5:Action|action]] options: [[SRD5:Dash|Dash]], [[SD5:Disengage|Disengage]], and [[SRD5:Dodge|Dodge]]. A controlled mount can move and act even on the turn that you mount it.

An independent mount retains its place in the initiative order. Bearing a rider puts no restrictions on the actions the mount can take, and it moves and acts as it wishes. It might flee from combat, rush to attack and devour a badly injured foe, or otherwise act against your wishes.

In either case, if the mount provokes an [[SRD5:Opportunity Attack|opportunity attack]] while you’re on it, the attacker can target you or the mount.
