Hi Thundercrow...
First, if that's a saddle, it's a pretty crap, weird looking one, second, the only spell in the files for it, is for a Shapeshift, So untill we get confirmation it's all open, but it's most likely pointing to another shapeshift that can carry a passenger
the saddle is right on its back....

or it could be something completely different or that spell could be leftover from something the devs were testing or we might transform into the crow instead of riding on it as a mount. its labeled as a mount so unless we see more info we should assume its a mount of some kind
Thats more like an armor piece than a saddle to me. Can't see either of my Tauren characters fitting on that tiny piece of...leather?

Case closed.
I don't see why people are linking a spell that has nothing to do with this new mount. The spell is an old NPC spell, as PTR spells aren't listed on live wowhead.

And that is a saddle. It isn't the first mount to use something that looks like armor.
As others have pointed out:

This is an old spell, originally implemented in TBC. I remember some fuss around its discovery years ago. We ended up with Swift Flight Form instead. Storm Crow also looks like it is using an older value of mana cost for shifting and likely hasn't been updated in quite some time.
Did not bother to look through those other 4-5 sites of Posts.. though.. the statement that this mount has no saddle is kinda incorrect. It actually has, just look. You can't rly see it because of the particle effect or whatev's.
