I like the look of the Skeletal Gryphon, but a Frost Wyrm would be great ;D
Imo make it more fleshy, such as skeletal horses are.
It will definitly make it more undead, but i guess it will look better than now as a parrot
I would just as soon make the Skeletal Gryphon available to all players, and add a DK questline to getting a Frostwyrm. A gold-sink would be a fair addition, but I agree, for such an epic mount, not exclusive enough by itself. Perhaps the questline for a Frostwyrm would actually require the Skeletal Gryphon?
I'm all about class-specific items, and the Frost Wyrm just fits like a glove for the DK class. If it takes longer to obtain a Frost Wyrm than a "regular" flying mount, then all's fair. But I definitely think it needs to be added somehow.
the DK should not get any more special treatment bar a simple mount, A more fleshy zombie gryphon or a spectral gryphon would do fine.Originally Posted by Claymore

Ever think said tooltips could pop up depending on your riding skill, due to said scaling mount?
It's not evidenced to be a placeholder yet, even if it could be. Stop being in denial.
New DK Epic Flying mount = Skeletal Succubus with dead gnome locks in her belly
If they actually add some particle effects, then I could see it being a little more attractive for the relatively high cost. As it is *now*, though, it just doesn't look very Death knight-ish. It honestly looks more like a joke of a mount, which would be attainable by anyone. I think a lot of people like the Frost Wyrm, simply because it's already featured in the DK-only questline, not to mention the obvious ties with Artas. But if they spruce up the current Skeletal Gryphon, I think the complaints will die out pretty soon (though, I can assure you, people would be asking for a Frost Wyrm drop from raiding Icecrown :P)
I dont think under any circumstance it should be in any form of a gryphon... It just doesnt mesh well being horde on a gryphon. Lore alone had it where dwarves were the only riders of a gryphon and some how they adapted humans to be able to pilot them, but allowing any race on all of azeroth to pilot them seems like a far stretch even in its undead form.
This motlikely will be a place holder or a ridable mount alliance side just as they will probably have an undead wyvern horde ( speculation)
