Dire Wolves
Dire Wolves are not truly wolves and not from this dimension. They were brought through with the Orcs and are used as pack animals and hunting beasts. Physically, they are about the size of Rhinos being about 6 foot tall and 12 foot long. Dire Wolves weigh more than some small cars. They are very carnivorous. (See Andrewsarchus or Hyenadon.)Griffons, Hippogrifs, Manticores, and Pegasi
Human mages have created a number of fantastic creatures. Some are "one of a kind" beings while others exist in usable quantities. Manticores, Griffons, Hippogriffs, and Pegasi have all been attempted as alternative mounts. Unfortunately most are very difficult to manage (unruly) while Pegasi are just difficult to contain (fences after all, don't really hinder them). Most humans prefer horses, but some Nobles like the prestige of having a Fantastic Beast as a pet or mount (adventure seed).
