NHN has released some more information about Holy Creatures in Karos Online, which is their upcoming free-to-play MMORPG. These holy creatures serve as mounts in Karos Online, and they can be summoned from a special piece of armour that can be worn on the shoulder. Once you get these pieces of armour, you can then summon your mount and ride it around. The first mounts to be revealed are the Wolf, a "deadly long-fanged animal clad in shiny armour," and the Dragon, a "mysterious reptile hovering above the ground." These, of course, aren't the only mount choices in total, as there are more that will be revealed later on.

Each of these holy creatures will be made of Iron Metal, and can then be upgraded through crafting to Holy and Gold levels. Since each upgrade also upgrades the armour piece, players can see each other's Holy Creatures, even if the player isn't riding them.

Karos Online is currently in Closed Beta right now, and NHN has confirmed that there are many changes being made to the game in response to European feedback. You can sign up for the beta at www.karosgame.com.
