An excellent pod of sky-whales! Although a pod of infected sky-whales would be quite terrifying.

They are not infected! They just passed quarantine!

As for the riding, if the whale agreed to the concept, maybe a harness of some type could work? It would however cause major drag… so perhaps a streamlined compartment or, well, pod, for the human would be better. Built of the same self-adhesive material the cat rank collars are?

Which reminds me, some old art by Minna has very cool steed concepts featuring fantasy animals!

... wait, you want to ride one under water? Uhhhh, yes, I'd definitely recommend something rather bathysphere-looking for that ...

A sweet sketch! But shouldn’t the harness be between the head and the fins to have at least some support against sliding off at the tail? Not that the whales’ “shoulders” allow much purchase for anything to be attached to them.

On second thought, magic. Yeah. That’s it.

(reads the first part and agrees (as always) with Jitter)
(thinks on really effective ways to secure the pod)
(finds several flaws in all those ways)
(recalls that it's a flying whale)

Yeah, Magic! That's it.  ;)

I'd try to use it anyway.

I'm very much enjoying all the rideable sky whale concepts here. That's a very contented looking whale, grey!

Moredhel, you did well! It blends into the ground exactly like they do with their camouflage coloring.

Thanks for all the comments on the snake.

I tried to paint the moon with colored pencils. ANd a gel pen for the stars.

Lovely! There's nothing quite like looking at the full moon on a clear starry night.
