^ This western theme is probably the only reason you can jump on a monster's back. Who else other than cowboys would get the idea of riding monsters like animals before anyone else. They'll totally obsess over riding Kirin and Bulldrome. There's already fan art of people using Dromes to ride, I bet that inspired them. As for western theme monsters, we'd probably have more horse monsters, perhaps a stronger Kelbi.

Let me get my top-hat and saddle up a Kirin. :p


 * But do we really want to jump on a horse that covers itself in electricity? The same could be said about a Rathian and its poison spikes.
