It’s really a shame that the ability to fly anywhere in Azeroth has made ground mounts a little obsolete. There are so many great-looking ground mounts. Here are my favorites:
1. Swift Palomino
I always wanted a pony. Once I got my druid exalted with Stormwind this is the first mount I bought.
2. Swift Orange Raptor
When I first rolled a Blood Elf, I knew I didn’t want to be riding around on a chocobo…hawkstrider for very long. I did every troll quest I could find so I could buy this much more impressive-looking raptor.
3. Purple Skeletal Warhorse
Again, I like ponies. Even skeletal ones.
4. Raven Lord
What a pain in the ass this mount is. I’ve read so many accounts of people running Sethekk Halls every day for months before this dropped for them. I saw it drop a number of times during random dungeon runs – and it was always won by a Pally. I finally got it completely unexpectedly while doing an achivement for Pilgrim’s Bounty.
5. Amani War Bear
A giant bear decorated with tusks and skulls is pretty hard to beat. Besides looking excellent, the Amani War Bear also shows off the accomplishment of doing a timed ZA run – and a bit of luck with the dice.
6. Golden King
What a gorgeous lion mount. I love the big mane and the shiny armor. It’s very fitting for the Alliance.
7. Kor’kron Annihilator
Blizzard really out-did themselves with the two level 25 guild mounts. As much as I love the lion, I think the Horde mount is even better. The Scorpion is huge (especially with a tauren on it) and menacing – and it waves it’s arms in the air when you press the spacebar! Awesome.
What are your favorite ground mounts?
