In Vanillaware's Dragon's Crown, players will be able to mount a variety of deadly beasts. Aside from transporting characters quickly from one place to another, the mounts can also be used to attack enemies. Atlus released two brief game-play videos showing off these dangerous allies. One shows the busty sorceress sitting prettily atop a Saber-toothed cat while the second video shows the elf mounting an ugly raptor or similar creature. Both videos seem to be of the game's single player mode, which makes me wonder if players can make use of mounts in multi-player.

Dragon's Crown will be available on July 25th in Japan and on August 6th in North America for the PS3 and PS Vita. View the videos below.
