You may feel that bento are special, but most of the community don't. Just like my obsession with lynxes.

You can already saddle a bento with a seat, and having a speed boost from riding an animal would be rather OP for the people who live at bento. They would just kill anyone who comes to their island, make sure nobody gets any bento except from them, and lock all the spawnpoints on their island. They then can take advantage of the speed boosts and all the other boosts of the bento.

It's already bad enough when someone claims bento island and is too territorial to let anyone get armour. If bento suddenly were the answer to steel armour, raiding, and a ton of other problems, it would make bento island too OP.
