    I didn't say it was a Druid Flight Form, I said it is using the skeleton/model of it.
    It is a reskinned version of it.

    Everyone keeps calling it a Proto Drake reskin when the 2nd image is a flight animation that Proto Drakes don't even have.
    The flight animation is identical to druid's bird form.

    I usually dont complain about these kind of things, but seriously Blizzard? Have you fired all the creative people and are stuck with only one-track, simple-minded people?
    I love the raven lord riding mount, I do, but this is just so uncreative and it solidifies what many people are talking about, regarding Blizzard are only in it for the money now and not for the gamers.

    Then what, you'll buy it? Quit the game? Rage?

    I would be cool if it is WOD CE. I would also be awesome if this is for the 10th anniversary as well and not just the lvling tabard like the last few years. I wonder if this is to replace the storm crow?

    Store Mount for sure. Way to cool to be an ingame drop/reward.

    Weee another reskined mount (by the looks of it either proto drake/druid form)...
    Much OP
    Very cool
    WoW

    Last time blizzard did new model mount was Heart of Aspects(cloud serpents are reskined HoA but just added more animations to not resemble it) and MoP collector edition. That was like 1 year ago?!?
    Hip Hip Horray for blizzard creativness, even with that bigger dev team :X
    On serious note - by all means this is connected with Anzu obviously, so my bet is that this is WoD collector edition mount... damn this time ill have to spend a bit more money for my new WoWBox x)

    1. Top 0.1% arena / RBG players
    2. Artistic design for WoD (leaked mount??)
    3. Blizzard store
    4. Collectors edition
    5. Participating in pre-expansion event for WoD (Never happened before, but things could change)
    6. Someone also mentioned it could be linked to Hearthstone (although I doubt it)
    I'd rather see it as a #3 than a #1, at least if its on the store everyone CAN get it. Keyword, can. As for it being linked to hearthstone, I don't know where these people are coming from but I am willing to bet that its Hearthsteed and NOT that flying Anzu.

    I'd rather not see everyone have this mount, same with all the store mounts that actually look unique.

    It cant be 1. There are already models of this and next seasons mounts in the game, yes those could be changed but it would fit the them of the expansion. I think its a finished or close to version of the storm crow.

    I believe it is related to the next expansion. That mount reminds me of the Arakkoa somehow. Like a flying Anzu with better model
  1. ombus's Avatar
    i think this will be obtainable for everybody... if the anzu that cant fly its like that then this one must be too i think.

    maybe a redo of the mount in the setek halls (so the blue chicken can finaly fly XD )

    That is indeed a pretty bird.

    Not sure where Anzu fits in the lore of WoD , but my speculation is - This is Anzu's Ancestors, and they could fly :>

    Doesn't look like a re-skinned protodrake, so I'm gunna say Blizz Store.

    This better not be a store mount.
