Feign Death while mounted!

[Xanthix]

There are actually attack, death, swimming, and other animations for all the mounts in the data files. A lot of the non-combat pets have them too. My guess is that the models and graphics were designed early enough that they weren't sure whether things like mounted combat would make it into the game. It's kind of a shame that so many cool animations go unused, but then occaisionally something like this happens and it's pretty fun.
