A beastmaster-style character (but actually good) that focuses on cool mounts would be neat. I'm not a big fan of dragons, but the idea is sweet.
It be cool to pick from different mounts. Maybe a Dragon mount, or a Griffon, or a Worg, or a Displacer Beast.....I could spend all day listing off cool creatures to ride into battle on.
I could see them even doing different subclasses for that. Dragon Riders seem distinct and cool enough in my mind to deserve their own subclass, while Griffons, Worgs, and other creatures could be an exotic cavalier type fighter, ranger, barbarian, or ranger subclass.
I can just imagine a half-orc barbarian riding on the back of a brown bear, a shifter fighter mounted on a dire would, a kenku ranger riding a griffon, or a fallen aasimar paladin riding on the back of a nightmare.

That would be a lot of subclasses. Maybe a feat would work for most, with a couple specialized subclasses for specific creature types?

It could be quite a lot, and some of this can already be accomplished in current rules. There isn't a mounted barbarian or fighter that automatically gets an animal companion, but Beast Masters have animal companions that they can occasionally ride, and paladins have the Find Steed and Find Greater Steed spells. Maybe they could just add a couple subclasses, maybe a few spells as well. I don't think a feat should give a mount, though. That seems too useful most of the time to me.

I actually started working on an Artificer subclass all about mounted combat a while ago. I hit some writers block and back-burnered it for a bit. Maybe I should dust it off again.

I was thinking of something similar, but a Vehiculist. Battlesmiths can mount their Steel Defender if they're a small race, but that is a bit too restricted to fill the whole "mounted artificer" subclass. I really think they should make an Artificer that creates motorcycles and four-wheelers and can control them remotely, but I don't think they will come out with anything like that in the UA anytime soon. Anytime they make a new Artificer subclass they have to reprint the whole class, unfortunately.

I'd love to ride a Gloomstalker. Flying, shadows, speedy, altogether incredible.

They mean this [monster[gloomstalker[/monster]. It's from Critical Role. I think he named them before the subclass came out, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, I think Matt Mercer had them named in 2017. I'm not entirely sure when the ranger subclass came out though.

The subclass was originally in the Ranger, Revised UA in 2016, but its name was originally the Deep Stalker. It was changed to Gloomstalker in 2017 with Xanathar's Guide to Everything. I'm not sure which came first.

I love the Dragon themed Monk a lot, that is great
im hoping for draconic and scionic barbarians20
It's been more than a month since the last UA was released.
I would like to see more draconic player options in the game, like Draconic spells, a Dragon patron Warlock, and so on.

I hope for more dragon themed subclasses. Maybe we will finally get a draconic warlock.
Yeah. That should have been a "duh" warlock for them. So many people (including me) have had to make homebrew versions of it because WotC hasn't yet.
