It’s senseless. The mount should have been a big white wolf (nod to Gen Greymane) wearing an optional top-hat. My Hati wolf pets have a little Fez they can wear, and I can also mount it. So they already had the assets…?
Might have been a nostalgia thing.
Foxes during Cataclysm had a similar reception as Ducks during Dragonflight.
I remember, I went out and got the blue rare fox as a pet.
But big, white, wolf mount in top-hat.
Considering that the worgen racial gimmicks is being their own mount, they probably should have got like a special beefed up worgen running form. Or maybe a neat, more dramatic casting animation.
Should have gotten a tame muzzled Worgen as a mount, named ‘Lucky’.
That would do the trick.

The fox was a recolor / reskin of the Vicious War Fox. Since they’re on the table, mount should have been a recolor / reskin of the Vicious Gilnean Warhorse.
Don’t ask me why the culture that routinely goes on fox hunts gets a fox mount for reclaiming their city. Whole thing’s a mess, bad enough to get at least one person to actually race change.
Edit:
It’s the Llothien Prowler that it’s a recolor / reskin of, actually, it just uses the same model as the Vicious War Fox.
But I stand by what I said. A recolor / reskin of the Vicious Gilnean Warhorse for the Alliance, and give the Horde the fox.
Would make sense after all. They’re not giant werewolves, and most of them don’t look like the pink-skins that made a pastime out of hunting said foxes.
Horde should get a red one.
A wolf wouldn’t make sense either. The only thing that makes sense is a horse.
An armored horse with blue armor.
It’s actually a reskin of the Llothien Prowler from Suramar which is the same model as the vicious war mount. It’s significant easier to get than both of the other foxes.
We don’t no more steenking horses.
I have the red fox mount from Legion. I love it and it’s one of my favorite ground mounts. It matches a few mogs, feels ‘zippy’.
Why not a Gilnean carriage Pulled by a team of giant white wolves. In top hats.
And monocles. We can’t forget the monocles.
Do Trolls have any horses at all? Here, you can have some of my dozen. One has blue bunting.
You can’t have my Pally Charger, though. Took me months to get.
With blue horseshoes too.
