I have 3-4 guildies that have obtained the mount from Huolon..can't see it being the rarest mount in the game even though its only been available for 5 months.
Ye, it's stupidly rare mount. Sha of Anger was outdated boss when the mount started to actually drop, but still plenty of people kill it every week.
But still it's rarer than any TCG which is kinda stupid.
Guess it's just blind luck mount like love rocket. Doesn't require any skill, is on very easy boss loot table. No effort required. Just favorable RNG.
As someone with close to 500 rolls across all my toons (half coins) on Sha, I believe it. Doubt I'll ever get that dumb serpent.
Im guessing the guys who have the ultra rare mounts have gone dark for quite some time so they aint counted
What they neglect to asterix on that info graphic is how the Heavenly Onyx Serpent wasn't on Sha's loot table until mid way through ToT. The mount forums followed the drop rates and saw the day the first one dropped. Now the problem is trying to get people to kill Sha is delegated almost entirely to the mount farmers on Oqueue. A very rare mount indeed, but not because of lack of trying
I kind of doubt that statistic includes TCG mounts or mounts that are currently unavailable tbh. Kind of like i don't believe for a second that the tiny red carp is the rarest pet. Rarest pet is probably mini tyrael/diablo or the first murky pet from blizzcon.

Like people have pointed out the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent wasn't even obtainable for a while due to a bug, I'm seeing a lot more now on my high populated realm, just a matter of time until I get mine :P
Almost makes me want to resub to ride it again.

rarest mount shouldn`t be one that looks just like other 10 mounts or more .
