You’ve met the pandaren and learned of their rich and enigmatic history, but the time has come to reveal their mount of choice, the Dragon Turtle.

The pandaren have long sought mounts that embody their values: patience and strength. With a naturally armored hide, and even gait (no matter how heavy the passenger), and the relaxed attitude that welcomes long journeys, the Dragon Turtle is perfect for the pandaren adventurer. Indigenous to mainland Pandaria, these fine steeds are easily outfitted with the essentials: maps, cushions, footstools, and brew-storage. Comfortable and hardy, the dragon turtle’s slow, even stride will gently ease passengers into new parts of the world and/or a relaxing nap time.


Features: 360-degree panoramic view, fully automatic transmission, deep pile ornate rug seats.


This mount's handling is so intuitive that you can "safely" read a map or eat a snack while in motion.

*Disclaimer: Do not operate while napping. May not actually charge into battle. Maps, cushions, and brew-storage optional.May cause mount envy and wanderlust. For recreational use only. Keep fingers and toes away from mouth. Do not leave in sun. Feed and water regularly. No guarantees real or imagined apply.

    ...WONDERFUL!! I just hope none-Pandaren will be able to get these, and I do hope they are after all 100% speed...or all Pandaren will be farming rep with other factions :d.

    I'm still wondering about the Yak though...

    Eh? The Yak thing made so much more sense, all I think of in relation to dragon turtles are Naga, since they used them back in W3 - I wondered what the hell they were doing when I read about Naga apparently being afraid of Dragon turtles in some datamined info a while back. Can't say I'm happy with this over the Yak, but eh - it's a decent mount even if I think it's nowhere near as fitting as the Yaks are.

    Dragon turtles are not new to Warcraft; they were naga units in WC3:TFT. So as a mount, it makes sense (though logically they should be ass-slow...but then again, so should kodos).

    Considering the yaks will also be mounts, it just adds to what is already an impressive array of mounts so far. Win-win.

    Not bad, I don't like turtles so I wasn't expecting to be blown away.

    Still the Voltron and the Yak on top for the moment though.

    NGL this is an awesome mount. I can finally say that I'm riding "Bowser" and get a matching hunter pet to go with it.

    Not a bad looking mount.Actually I think this looks better then the two headed turtle that you got in Rift when you purchased the collectors edition.

    hmm, people seem to bitch about everything, while not having a clue about modelling and texturing by far. I for one finds it an awsome mount.
