If you're an Elder Scrolls Online enthusiast and a fan of collecting mounts, you've likely heard of the elusive and visually stunning Radiant Apex mounts. These rare and dazzling creatures are the pinnacle of mount collecting in the game. In this video, Spopes will share his top 10 Radiant Apex mounts that truly deserve a spot in your collection.
Whether you're saving up Crown Gems or Seals of Endeavor, this video will help you prioritize your wishlist for when these mounts make their way back into the Crown Store. Keep in mind, this list is subjective, but it's based on a combination of aesthetics, rarity, and overall design.
10. Worm Cultist Senche-raht
Starting off our list is the mysterious Worm Cultist Senche-raht. This mount is a black senche-raht adorned with an eerie helmet and surrounded by ghostly purple visual effects. Its summoning animation is nothing short of spectacular, with ghostly hands reaching out of the ground to summon your mount. The haunting aesthetic makes it stand out, but it's worth noting that this mount was only available in the Diamond Anniversary Crates, released for ESO's 10th anniversary. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee these crates will return anytime soon, making this mount a rare gem for collectors.
9. Auroran Polychrome Wolf
Next up is the Auroran Polychrome Wolf, a mount that looks like it has an entire nebula swirling inside it. It features a mesmerizing blend of colors and a glowing effect that makes it impossible to miss. Its summoning animation is equally captivating, with a nebula-like aura surrounding it. This mount was recently available in the Unfeathered Crates, which operate on a two-year cycle. If you missed it, you'll need to wait until the crates return—likely in 2027.
8. Kynareth's Quasigriff
For fans of quasigriffs, the Kynareth's Quasigriff is a must-have. With its golden mantle, glowing blue chest, and lightning coursing through its body and eyes, this mount embodies divine power. The summoning animation is equally stunning, with flashes of light and energy. This mount was part of the Carnaval Crates released in early 2025 and is expected to return around 2027.
7. Solstheim Shiver Wolf
The Solstheim Shiver Wolf is a frosty beauty that glows with shades of purple and blue, making it look like it was carved from ice itself. What makes this mount even more special is that it comes with a matching pet. It's part of the All-Maker Crates, which are currently on sale in the Crown Store. If you want to add this enchanting winter companion to your collection, now is the time to spend your Seals of Endeavor or Crown Gems.
6. Celestial Ram
The Celestial Ram is a mount that exudes cosmic elegance. Its entire body is filled with a static nebula effect, giving it an otherworldly appearance. The simplicity of its design—paired with its luminous glow—makes it one of the most unique mounts in ESO. This mount was part of the Celestial Crates, which were recently available but won't return for another couple of years. If you're a fan of celestial-themed aesthetics, this one is worth the wait.
5. Sanguine Gargoyle
Breaking into the top five is the Sanguine Gargoyle, a truly distinctive mount that commands attention. This wolf-based mount features massive red wings that emit bright, fiery VFX, giving it an almost volcanic appearance. The stony texture of the body adds to its unique charm. It was part of the Carnaval Crates released in March 2025 and will likely make its way back in 2027.
4. Voidmother's Welwa
The Voidmother's Welwa is a dark and mysterious mount that has been on many collectors' wishlists since its release in the Ragebound Crates. Its summoning animation features a giant ball of dark energy and spider-like claws that emerge as you mount up. The glowing green paws and intricate design make it an absolute showstopper. Unfortunately, this mount may not return for several years, so patience will be key for those who missed out.
3. Luminous Meridian Charger
Taking the third spot on the list is the Luminous Meridian Charger, a mount that epitomizes the grandeur of Radiant Apex designs. With its golden body, ghostly blue glow, angelic wings, and floating orbs, this mount is a testament to ZOS's incredible design work. It feels like something straight out of celestial mythology. The Luminous Meridian Charger was part of the Dark Chivalry Crates, which haven't been available recently but are expected to return within the next year or so.
2. Mystical Quasigriff
The runner-up on the list is the breathtaking Mystical Quasigriff, featured in the Order of the Lamp Crates. This mount boasts dark orbs that swirl through its body and an absolutely stunning summoning animation. Its ethereal design ensures it stands out wherever you go in Tamriel. Since these crates recently returned for the first time since their release, it may be several years before we see them again.
1. Blessed Highmane Lion
Finally, claiming the top spot on the list is none other than the Blessed Highmane Lion. This radiant mount is the epitome of holy light aesthetics, glowing with an intense golden brilliance that makes it nearly impossible to look away from. From its golden saddle to its heavenly aura, this lion looks as though it descended directly from Aetherius itself. As part of the All-Maker Crates, the Blessed Highmane Lion is currently available for purchase in the Crown Store. If you're interested, don't miss the opportunity to acquire this remarkable mount.
