Night Goblin Shaman (hero) needs a mount

[Lotor13]

This probably only spellcaster hero without acces to mount (horse, wolf etc)
..and spellcaster hero needs mobility

Goblin Great Shaman (lord variant) has acces to wolf and giant spider + chariot in multiplayer

[Aneerah]

I agree. High elf mages should have arcane phoenix mounts!!

Night Goblin characters only use Great Cave Squigs as mounts, but these are reserved for the tougher Night Goblin characters as it takes physical strength to tame such a beast.

Regular Goblin shamans have a wider variety of mounts because they don't live underground.

This is the lore explanation and the Night Goblin shamans are mountless in the tabletop as well, the only compensation being their Magic Mushrooms and cheaper points cost.

I would update the lore for the gameplay reasons, they need to have acces to mounts

Orc Shamans are better and I'm pretty sure they share a capacity together so focus on Orcs instead

Maybe thats just me knowing nothing about the lore, but to me it doesn't sound as much of a problem to give them a spider mount.
Surely the deep caves of the Warhammer World also have large spiders in it.

Instead of giving them mounts, make it so that the mushrooms give an insane speedbuff for a limited time. Should honor the lore, and the actual gameplay - even more so when the orc shaman is usually the better choice in 100% of the cases, or even the goblin shaman on his spider - but as a lord in that case - which probably doesn´t make much sense either, when he has orcs who follow him...

He has vanguard deployment and stalk, though

Note that "Goblin" and "Night Goblin" are two different things in the game
