Not my picture! This image is from the LOTRO wiki.
Anyway, all this talk lately of goats and such in Erebor got me looking through the list of goat mounts and I came across this one. It is the Fleet-Footed Goat, and here is the description of it from the wiki:
This is no miner’s goat. This silky long-haired grey goat is outfitted to swiftly traverse mountain pathways and dark, subterranean tunnels, rather than carry heavy gear and provisions. It is sturdy enough to ride through the Orc-ridden halls of Moria, yet lightly armoured so as not to hinder its ability to move quickly and with great agility, making it highly prized among the messengers of the Iron Garrison.
But here’s the thing: Mounts have default names when you get them (you can always change the names later, though). For Men and Elves, the goat’s default name is Mapleseed. For Dwarves and Hobbits…?
Acorn.
