In Final Fantasy XIV, you can be carried around in the air and across the land with a gigantic gorilla mount. This mount, whose name is Ufiti officially, is only obtainable in a specific way.
Getting the Ufiti Horn in Final Fantasy XIV
The gorilla is summoned by using the Ufiti Horn. To get a Ufiti horn, you must trade 8,400 Skybuilders scrips to the NPC Enie (Special) in the Firmament. They're located near The Mattock at X: 12 and Y: 14.1.
Sky Builders scrips are obtainable from crafting unique items towards the Ishgardian Restoration or gathering on expeditions in The Diadem. Ultimately, the way you choose depends on your gathering and crafting levels. If you're a high-level crafter, it would be easier to go the crafting route. If your Botanist or Miner are higher level, head to The Diadem.

It takes around 20-30 hours of gathering to generate 8,400 Skybuilders Scrips, so it's a pretty significant grind. It also takes a similar time to craft enough materials for the same amount.
The Ufiti Horn was previously available as a reward for 50 Irregular Tomestones of Verity, during the Moogle Treasure Trove - The Hunt for Verity event. However, that came to a close on Aug. 22 before the launch of patch 6.2. The Ishgardian Restoration is now the only way to get Ufiti.
About the Ufiti Gorilla Mount
Ufiti used to be a FATE boss in The Diadem when that zone was a combat-focused area. When The Diadem transformed into an area for gathering, Ufiti was made into a collectible mount. Unlike some mounts, Ufiti has dozens of different riding styles and animations for each race and gender. You'll see that Ufiti carries Lalafells and Miqo'te in a completely different way to Roegadyn and Hyur. Keep an eye out when you next see the mount!
