• Lava Dragon Flying Mount (World of Warcraft classic)

The Startouched Furline Skyriding Mount is an oversized feline mount that “flies” by racing through the air, its bright blue tail and paws lighting up the sky. The Gigantic Grrloc land mount is nearly identical to the Gargantuan Grrloc mount featured in a previous subscription offering, in that it is a giant Murloc that runs on all fours.
