Jackal, spamming glides; nearly as fast. Data You Can Use: Ignoring the possibility of micromanaging Thief, Revenant, or Executioner's Axe Raptor & Jackal spamming 'leaps' are fastest. Without, they are still PDQ (purty durn qwik). Skimmer is faster on liquid surfaces (even shallow, can-walk-on puddles) than non-leaping Raptor, Jackal.
It gives all your mounts evasion on their movement abilities, which lets them survive longer in hostile areas. It's the most valuable T4 mastery IMO. Springer, Jackal than Skimmer I'd say, and you can probably hold off on getting Skimmer past T1 entirely. The fall damage mastery on the Springer is really nice.

Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) The jackal is the fourth core mount. It doesn't require achievements, it works the same as for the springer and skimmer (just slightly more expensive).

Here's what I found: Percent run-speed increase on level ground versus running on foot: Raptor: ~100%. Springer: ~100%. Skimmer: ~100%. In each case, I did not use any speed buffs and I did not jump. I just pressed "W" and followed a relatively straight path on land from point A to point B. I presume the Jackal will be similar once I obtain it.
Trivia edit. The Shrine Guardian Skin was designed by Zhengyi Wang. With its nine tails and appearance, it bears a strong resemblance to Fox spirit, a common motif in the mythology of East Asian countries. This is the most popular jackal skin as of 2021. [1]
