Warcraft Mounts: A field guide to mounts in the World of Warcraft.

Latest News

Trading Post ~ June

A montage of mounts from the upcoming June Trading Post. From left to right: (i) The Flame-Painted Sun Roc - a Sunwalker eagle mount with chocolate brown and dark teal green feathering, except for white wing tips. It is wearing a stylised bird mask of dark brown wood, with with red and blue zig-zags painted around the crest. Its mask and its wooden breastplate both have a large, circular glowing gem in the centre that is a pale yellow colour with triangles of gold around the circumference, giving it a stylised sun appearance. It is shown flying above Thunder Totem in Highmountain and it has the word &apo;BONUS&apo; written at the top. (ii) The Dusk-Painted Sun Roc - another Sunwalker eagle, but with black and red feathers, except for white and brown wing tips. The wood of its mask is slightly lighter than the Flame-Painted mount, and it has red and blue zig-zags painted around the crest. The glowing gems in its mask and breastplate are similar to the Flame-Painted Sun Roc. The mount is shown flying over Thunder Bluff in Kalimdor and the word &apo;NEW&apo; is written at the top.(iii) The Coldflame Cormaera - a fiery blue chimaera mottled with black, giving it a blue magma appearance, very much (intentionally) like a blue core hound. It flies high in a lavender sky with distant clouds. (iv) The Spotted Black Riding Goat - a dark brown goat with white flecks in its fur. It has a pale rope harness, a grey Pandaren bell hanging from its neck and a grey wicker basket and canister secured at its rump. It is ridden by a human woman in black top and blue leather pants. The cormaera and goat both have the word &apo;RETURNING&apo; written at the top.

Four mounts are available from June's Trading Post - including two gorgeous new Sunwalker eagles and a returning cormaera and goat. The Flame-Painted Sun Roc is this month's bonus reward, for capping your monthly Trader's Tender coin earnings. Also making its debut is the Dusk-Painted Sun Roc, for 700 Trader's Tender. There are also two mounts that have appeared previously: the flaming blue Coldflame Cormaera for 700 Trader's Tender and Spotted Black Riding Goat for 325.

Flying Squirrels!

A pic of four Groveglider (flying squirrel) mounts sitting on a forest path. All four have long, elfin ears, glowing eyes, and a soft glow around their bodies. From left to right: Frostfall Groveglider - icy blue & lavender with cyan eyes; Cindertuft Groveglider - brown orange & yellow with yellow eyes; Blossombranch Groveglider - white & pink with pink eyes; Gloombough Groveglider - very dark purple with red eyes.

Four new enchanting flying squirrel mounts are now available in the Battle.net Shop (Americas/EU): the blue Frostfall Groveglider, golden-brown Cindertuft Groveglider, dark purple Gloombough Groveglider, and pink Blossombranch Groveglider. These mystical rodents can be purchased individually, or as part of the 'Scurrywind Groveglider Collection'. This collection includes all four mounts at half the price it costs to purchase them individually.

Midnight has now launched!

Midnight is finally open to all players! We hope you have a wonderful time exploring the new expansion. For mount collectors, we've compiled two versions of our mount guide with differing presentation layouts:

Midnight Mounts By Source groups all available mounts by source type
Midnight Mounts By Model not only categorises mounts by model, it also includes currently unavailable colours for new mount models

Happy collecting!

Paladin Charger updates are now live!

A 2x2 comparison of Midnight updated appearances for the WoW human and blood elf paladin class mounts: the Charger (top) and Thalassian Charger (bottom). Originals on the left, with a teal arrow pointing to the updated versions on the right. The model is a fairly faithful update to the original (which dates back to Vanilla!). In both models the mount is a horse with bright glowing eyes, golden plate barding over much of the head and back of neck with long metal spikes along the ridge, golden metal shields on the shoulders and base of neck, metal coverings over the hooves, and a heavy coat over the body in race colours, with gold detailing. The Charger (human, top) has an Alliance blue coat. The original has very pale glowing eyes, but the update has an orange-gold glow. The Thalassian Charger (blood elf, bottom) has a Horde or Blood Elf red coat with an orange eye glow.

With little fanfare, the human and blood elf paladin mounts have just been updated! The human paladin Charger and blood elf Thalassian Charger steeds now sport gorgeous, updated looks that are remarkably faithful to originals that were over 20 years old. A new white colour variant, the Relinquished Scarlet Charger will be obtainable after Midnight launch.
