    Great, now they're gonna hold iconic mounts HOSTAGE with cash barriers rather than letting us access them in the game through raids or bosses. Good on you, blizzard.

    ''Just business!''

    Am I right? Haha a shame really.

    Now this'd be a CE mount that'd make consider getting the CE. Damn

    Is it possible, that is mount for the Hearthstone beta? The Helmet from this mount looks like the sign from hearthstone

    It looks like the Anzu mount that's able to fly. Anzu was linked to the Arakkoa in TBC and in TBC the Arakkoa couldn't fly. They can fly in Warlords so I'm willing to bet that this is the CE mount of Warlords. Since Blizzard has said that pre-orders will be available soon™, this has to be the CE mount reveal.

    I'm betting this is the Collector's Edition / Digital Deluxe Edition mount.

    If it was a recolor, then it would look like the Pterrowing mount but, be in a different color.

    Do you people even look at what you type sometimes? lol

    It is a new model.

    Whichever Skeleton/Skin is used or which UltraDeluxe special CE this could be bundled with or how many Blizz employees died during Flying Anzu's construction... I'm getting this mount!!!

    If it is the CE mount which I part hope it will be as much as I hope it won't be since I don't really want to buy CE but this would temp me into doing so. I would need to see its running animation. If this runs like Anzu and can then take off.....I think I would choke on all my store hate and buy it regardless of it being on the store. I would not be happy about it as I think regardless of how nice mounts are, all mounts should be obtainable in game if on the store excluding RaF or SoR mounts which are perks used to get players back in to the game.

    Possibly the first time I may actually pay for a mount in the Store.

    I'm gonna put down a couple guesses on what this may be for.

    1. Top 0.1% arena / RBG players
    2. Artistic design for WoD (leaked mount??)
    3. Blizzard store
    4. Collectors edition
    5. Participating in pre-expansion event for WoD (Never happened before, but things could change)
    6. Someone also mentioned it could be linked to Hearthstone (although I doubt it)

    Blizzard, if this is again another cashhungry store mount ill be pissed beyond comprehension. Instead of using the time and resources to create these storemounts (and an official trailer, Rofl) you could have updated something accessible ingame, like for example the gryphons and wyverns etc on wich you can easily count the polygons.

    Who am i kidding, obviously these store mounts are more important that players are alrdy funding with their subscriptions but have to pay another 25 to get.

    Pretty much the same conclusion I arrived at.

    Really hope it isn't a store mount. Every new skin is store mounts it seems, and recycled skins are in-game mounts.

    Plot twist : It's a store mount.

    It's a hearthstone mount. It's likely that Blizzard will reward players who purchase 40 sets of cards at one time.

    The only problem with this is the inability to use it as a flying mount when WoD drops!!! (Okay you can still use it else where just not in WoD areas).

    Yeah, because as of late they haven't been making flying mounts useable in ground only areas...right? Even the TOT META mount is useable as a ground mount...

    I'm just hoping they'll make it clever so that this mount doesn't turn into a Raven Lord with updated model on the ground. Let it be a PROPER bird running like one and flying like one. We have no pure flying bird mounts in-game, they all have 4 legs or use their wings like a proto-drake when on the ground.
