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.

    I bet they look stupid when they run though.

    Blizzard tends to do that a lot. Make mounts that look good when they walk, but really silly when they run, which is what you do on them most of the time. Elekks, Mammoths, Camels, Yaks, Turtles.

    All ground mounts (Save for your turtle) scale to your riding skill. So... depends on your riding skill! (For most people 100% mount)

    40 second mark in the youtube vid clearly shows a pandaman sitting on top of a turtle with an umbrella and what not.

    Not really, since that statue is of Liu Lang, the panderan that rode off on Shen-zin Su (the now island-sized turtle that is the Wandering Isle and the turtle in the statue)

    Chinese mythical creature. Related to Black Tortoise, usually depicted as a turtle with a snake. The snake being related to dragons in mythology. So yeah, long story short, Dragon Turtle.

    They look cool, though the only thing I don't really like is the nose ring, but that's just me
