I know tyranid pod can carry monstrous creature and SM drop pod can house a dreadnought (its a vehicle, but whatever). Now, is there rules that allow like, super heavies, to carry MC? Specifically Wraithseer.

Sadly, the Eldar don't have much in the way of Transports, and nothing in the Eldar list can transport a Wraithseer. Generally speaking MC's cannot go in transports, but from time to time a speccific vehicle will be release that allows one to go in it.

MCs have enough advantages.

If you're just going for fluff reasons, have a look at the old epic 40k or battlefleet gothic/space fleet eldar range. Something like an eagle bomber or a storm serpent would probably be big enough

I second the Storm Serpent. It's a Scorpion tank chassis built around a Webway Portal, if you want to get anything anywhere it's a good choice. (It doesn't actually have 40k rules right now, unfortunately...)
That or the giant airplane-sized floating Webway Portals they got to deploy in Aeronautica Imperialis. You might be able to walk a Titan out of one of those (they're wide enough for a Vampire to fly through with room to spare, lorewise).

True, but arriving from reserves might keep them off the field for a turn or two - then again - the transport for an Eldar MC would probably be a tank or skimmer of some kind...or have first turn arrival special rules.
|
I don't break the rules but I'll bend them as far as they'll go. |

I thiiiink that Super Heavies can transport MCs, or at least certain ones can. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head, though.

Yea, its for fluff reasons, everyone in the host must have some kind of antigrav device to keep themself floating (jetbike/jetpack/skimmer). Just hoped there is something rule-wise that can carry wraithseer.
Thanks, everybody!

There is absolutely 0 models whose rules allow to carry MC at least for Eldar.
Closest one may be the Vampire Raider or Hunter as they both have a carry capacity of 20+ units if we consider the overall space a MC takes it's 20 models comparing with the Tyranids Tyrannocytes.
That or pray forgeworld chooses to release the Storm Serpent ( a webway generator transport from epic) rules someday.

I think Perversor is right- one of the Vampires has a capacity of 30 so that should be big enough with your opponents permission.
Or you could make up your own rules for a storm serpent /somthing similar:

Alternatively, could you graft the wraithlord to a falcon? Like a kind of hover-wraith-tank-thing.

Heh, wraithlord surfing on the falcon chasis should be in the next codex.

Forget that, give us a plastic Scorpion chassis with the parts to make the Storm Serpent.
