New MOUNT! Strom Crow Mount - Really nice one! Yay

[Immitis]

also just because strom crows HAVE a link with druids. doesnt mean anything.

bats have a link with trolls and forsaken. blizzstore mount.

night elves live with hippogryphs, racial flying mount? nope cenarion circle rep mount.

if anything that might just be a hint to where we get it.

saying its a druid form is COMPLETELY unfounded. it says mount on its title, it works as a mount, it has a saddle, its huge the size of a normal mount not the size of a little bird, and druids have already gotten tons of forms.

Looks like Dark Phoenix + Anzu = this one.

Looks like a recolored phoenix, for sure. Anzu...idk. More like druid flight form to me :P

Sorry to break it to you guys but even if the PTR note said mount in the end this is gonna be a minipet.

They did the same mistake in the past.

since when are minipets mountable and have saddles? also since when are mini pets proto drake sized?

[ELYPOP]

How can people still think its a mount after that.

Because we've established that spell is from BC.
Reading the posts after that one was hard, eh?

Show me a video of you mounting it then And show me the saddle.

Really boy, stop being in denial

Hope this is true, looking at the model it looks like it would have made for a rather lame mount. A pet makes it a bit cooler looking

Erm..

It has a saddle.

Just read through the thread, dude.

I don't get why people like to speak their ideas as fact when we have blatant proof.

True. But we turn into them that's my point.

Idea that includes (almost) everything: Druid Quest Chain..
Quest reward - improved flight form to shift into a mountable bird. (think Stag Travelform)....

If it was like that, I'd hope for it to be possible to toggle on/off... I love my bird form, and it's my fav "mount" of all time. It's advantages are unmatched by anything. I am a sucker for smaller size mounts.

Except it doesn't use the phoenix skeleton, it uses the Eagle/DruidFlightForm/Bird skeleton.

Looks like it. Hence the "druid flight form" part of my post. :P

Or perhaps Blizzard is adding some hint of variety to their mounts aside from another drake mount/mount using a drake skeleton (be that a regular drake or proto drake).

I hope so!

That would be nice, although it looks too similar to other mounts in game to really be all that unique. We'll see though, can't really tell much about animations, etc from a photo (unless there's some video somewhere that I haven't seen yet).

go n wowhead and click on the picture, it gives you the 3d model.

Or if you can't be bothered with that, here's some GIFs with the animations. I disabled the particle effects since they're somewhat buggy and excessive in model viewer.

Flying:


Idle:

Oh, and a closeup on the saddle:

Thanks for linking. Yup, looks like druid flight form model.

They're reusing the skeleton, that's nothing new, but you can clearly see that it is a mount.

It's even named "stormcrowmount" in the gamefiles.

Yep, idk who said it was a pet, definitely looks like a mount.

Although I still think it would have made a cool looking battle pet
