Pandaren Mount Revealed: Dragon Turtle

You’ve met the pandaren and learned of their rich and enigmatic history, but the time has come to reveal their mount of choice, the Dragon Turtle.

The pandaren have long sought mounts that embody their values: patience and strength. With a naturally armored hide, and even gait (no matter how heavy the passenger), and the relaxed attitude that welcomes long journeys, the Dragon Turtle is perfect for the pandaren adventurer. Indigenous to mainland Pandaria, these fine steeds are easily outfitted with the essentials: maps, cushions, footstools, and brew-storage. Comfortable and hardy, the dragon turtle’s slow, even stride will gently ease passengers into new parts of the world and/or a relaxing nap time.


Features: 360-degree panoramic view, fully automatic transmission, deep pile ornate rug seats.


This mount's handling is so intuitive that you can "safely" read a map or eat a snack while in motion.

*Disclaimer: Do not operate while napping. May not actually charge into battle. Maps, cushions, and brew-storage optional.May cause mount envy and wanderlust. For recreational use only. Keep fingers and toes away from mouth. Do not leave in sun. Feed and water regularly. No guarantees real or imagined apply.

    I hope they have a few color variations. So I can tame a turtle, mount up on a turtle, and (if the new pet UI is right) get a minipet turtle to follow. And have them all match!

    Why do people still not understand the concept of mount speed scaling? Normal/swift mounts do not exist anymore. ALL mounts you have scale with your maximum speed.

    Not terribly impressed, tbh, but I'll hold off on final judgement until I see it in motion.

    Although, if they're tameable, I'll have one as a hunter pet and name it Gamera

    Can't honestly say that I like the way it looks. Probably just me. That new tiger mount, on the other hand... omaigawd.

    Really? Because my current turtle mount still goes walking speed. Which is why everyone is posting things like that. Why don't YOU understand that?

    Well, the turtle (from fishing in pools) is obviously an exception. -.-

    matching turtle pet for hunters?

    i thought it was a little obvious for everyone a bit back when this video was released.
    40 second mark in the youtube vid clearly shows a pandaman sitting on top of a turtle with an umbrella and what not.

    This is what we get when they cancel blizzcon and put a tonne of effort into the next expansion.
