Maybe a new addition to loot from Mannoroth in WoE?
Maybe a new addition to loot from Mannoroth in WoE?
I'll bet money it's a TCG loot card. It's clearly a legion symbol, and the legion has nothing to do with Cataclysm or Mists of Pandaria.

My bet goes to the TCG, since its a Burning Burning Legion sign and we are not into a content with the Burning Legion and could not be Death wing achivement, also all the cool mount are from TGC
I could not imagine all the QQ crap if this is a *class* specific mounts,
Its too beautifull to be a a 25$ mounts from teh virtual crap store
incoming "an amazing mount brought to you by..........the blizzard online store"
This has darkmoon fair written all over it. Not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but it's pretty obvious by the darkmoon symbol on the saddle.

Ask yourself: why would they add some crap-reskinned-os drake to some dungeon bosses loot table 5 weeks after it was released??

They are pulling a Culling of Stratholme again....
gogo kill Mannaroth for free drake that every non-raider, non-PvPer will rid around on..... Like the disease that was Bronze Drake in WOTLK
Yo dawg! I heard you liked bases, so i put a base in your base, so i can base while you base
It's only "obvious" if you're visually impaired, since the symbol on the saddle is the Burning Legion emblem, which is a totally different symbol than the Darkmoon emblem.
Considering a legion themed non-combat pet(Eye of the Legion) was also datamined, TCG seems to be the most likely candidate. Doesn't seem likely they're gonna suddenly bring in a Burning Legion themed raid for them to drop in, seems a bit..."bland" for a store bought mount(rather you like or dislike the star horse and the flying fire lion, you gotta admit they are at least unique designs from every other in game mount and not just basic reskins), and I can't imagine them suddenly adding a random pet and mount drop to a new dungeon that hasn't had them the prior 5 weeks. As for the possibility of a 125/150 mount achievement reward, I could totally see them doing a reskin, but I just don't see a Burning Legion themed mount as the reward for that. The spectral griffon/wyvern seem a much more likely candidate for that reward.

Thank god someone pointed it out.
I'm calling TGC or pre-expansion raid. I doubt very much it'll be a Warlock only mount since we'll see new Paladin mounts too.

Ask yourself, why are you so blind that the Darkmoon Faire symbol looks anything like the Burning Legion symbol??
Never! Everything on the pet store has an original model (3D MODEL, not animations, not skeleton, MODEL) and this model isn't crafted from scratch at all. Any one with eyes could see that. Its not Pet store material. Its either 4.4 stuff, or TGC. And people have said the next TGC pack isn't legion related so I'm betting its for 4.4.
Oh I thought it was the Gladiator's mount.
Well it would make sense at the Darkmoon Faire.
It's random timing for a class specific mount but then again it would be great to spark that up again.
In response to your second half, because people assume the Darkmoon Faire is the only faction that can have floating symbols on their animals.

The Pandaren Monk was a reskinned Tuskarr, the sparkle pony was a reskinned Invincible, the Guardian was a reskinned Lion which was a reskinned Cat Night Elf Mount.
I really couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not, so I decided to be safe.

I clearly said "MODEL". In all caps so you guys would see it. And still it was ignored. Those models are all unqiue. They share skeletons with other models (because animating can take forever to do) but they're original models. If I were to put a Tuskarr..."skin" as you guys say...over the Pandaren monk, it's face would be over the hat, the tuskarr's skin would be on the clothing and it'd look like a disgusting monster. It's not a skin swap.
Their symbol is an eye and tentacles. Isn't that sorta the Old God's calling card? Also, one of the NPCs says something I'm "I'm sure the master...I mean, I would certainly be interested in this". DMF definitely has something more than meets the eye going on, but it doesn't seem Legion connected, to me.
