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.

    To answer the last question. A Worgen, of course, because they are boss like that.

    TBH, Pandarens should have had a pogo stick mount to go with their Bouncy Racial. Riding turtle? Yeah, no. I admit, the art on it looks neat. As far as them going fast? All I have to say is this http://icanhascheezburger.files.word...aaaaaaaaay.gif

    Looks cool. Is there a pandarian faction for the horde/alliance to get exalted with and buy turtles? Are there different turtles for each faction, like horde get red/black/green colors and alliance get blue/white/orange?

    I a turtle get hit by a car today.

    he died of course, but he his shell punctured the guy's tire and almost made him spin out.

    Most turtles are fast as hell, they get even faster in water, they're like little knights in green armor their speed is deceiving.

    Turtles live long as hell.

    Turtles eat whatever they want, they even steal from aligators, what are they gonna do about it?

    Nothing cause the turtle just pops in shell, he DGAF.

    Turtles can become ninjas.

    Turtles eat pizza.

    Turtles hang out with hot brunette news reporters.

    Turtles are cool as hell.

    Blizz should start including that in all their TOS and other agreements.

    Well, actually, all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles ate tortoises.
    But this one is more of an actual turtle, I'd say. It has a flatter shell and fins/webbed-like feet.
