I can't wait for all the Shrek memes to pop up again with Lil Donkey coming.Comment by Stoneheart98So we're giving away old CE and store mounts now, huh?Comment by rogueMatthiasHOLY ^&*! We're FINALLY getting an unarmoured Bat mount? I've been needing one of these for my Troll since we could first fly..

Perfect for the WC3 Batrider look :)Comment by MountaholicA quillen mount! 0.0 I have often thought about finding a way to get the collectors edition one so I am so happy!Comment by kaleestrazaChrist I hope they update the armor on those horses so it isn't copy/paste from old, other mounts....Comment by vindurzaIT HAS FINALLY RETURNED! THE LEGEND IS REBORN!Comment by HadorielHorde horse is neat but doesn't feel that uh Horde-y? Banner is flipped awkwardly, the chair is eh and I associate darker pelts with Horde mounts, usually. Maybe a placeholder... I hope? .w.;;

Bat and quillen are both very exciting. I didn't join fully until WoD so I was sad I missed out on the MoP collector mount O:
