I am looking for a way or a product that can make people ride on the back of my dragon avatar.

Poseball obviously don't work cause you need to wear it and it kills the option

Who can help me out? if it's possible at all?

That would be cool.
Tried attaching a poseball to my avi, but then people cannot click it once it is linked. Poseballs that are worn, are no longer functional.

Usual trick is to make the saddle a vehicle, so you and the passenger are both really sitting on it.

that's something that only the creator can do. unless they're using some lazy inefficent AO which is unlikely

Avatars cannot sit on other avatars, or on attachments. So for things such as dual horse saddles, piggyback animations, or ridable dragon avatars, you need do what Viktoria described, which is make an invisible vehicle with two seats/poseballs--one for the dragon and one for the rider.

But, as Scott alluded to, you need the animations your dragon avatar uses (as well as a riding pose for the passenger, but that's easy enough). The vehicle will need to be set up to play the various animations based on what the vehicle is doing (for example: fly up if page up is pressed, flap if an arrow key is pressed, hover if no key is pressed). The AO the dragon uses will need to defer to the vehicle, as well (else the sit animation of the AO will run, since technically, an avatar on a vehicle is sitting)

Simple enough in principle--but again, you'll need to contact the creator, since she or he is the one who made the animations.

They have those at Grendel's Children. They also make real good dragon avatars, and the saddles are with the avs.
