Flying Mounts for Each Race

Community General Discussion

In going back through my alts, I always have trouble finding a flying mount that feels right for my Draenei. Since each race has their own ground mount, it got me wondering as to what flying mount would be largely considered the “racial” mount for each race?

ALLIANCE
Human - Horse/Gryphon
Night Elf - Nightsaber/Hippogryph
Dwarf - Ram/? (I guess Gryphon?)
Gnome - Mechanostrider/? (maybe the Turbo Charged Flying Machine?)
Draenei - Elekk/?
Worgen - Horse/?
Void Elf - Voidstrider/?
Dark Iron Dwarf - Core Hound/?
Lightforged Draenei - Felcrusher/? (Warframe comes to mind)
Kul’tiran - Horse/Gryphon
Mechagnome - Mechanostrider/Aerial Unit

HORDE:
Orc - Wolf/Wyvern
Forsaken - Skeletal Horse/Bat
Tauren - Kodo/?
Troll - Raptor/?
Blood Elf - Hawkstrider/Dragonhawk?
Goblin - Trike/? (some form of rocket?)
Nightborne - Manasaber/?
Highmountain Tauren - Thunderhoof/Eagle? (are there any eagle mounts?)
Mag’har Orc - Direwolf/Rylak?
Zandalari - Direhorn/Pterrordax
Vulpera - Hyena/Vulture

NEUTRAL
Pandaren - Dragon Turtle/Cloud Serpent

Anyway, love to hear your thoughts. Some of them really stump me as to what would be most “iconic” for the race.

I picked 4 mounts and I use them on everything.

Armored Brown Bear - my go to ground mount
Armored Snowy Griffon - my only flyer I really like
Azure Water Strider - For exploring new zones
Grand Expedition Yak - On the fly Transmog and Repair

I do not collect mounts. That kind of thing does not interest me anymore.

oh and 98% of the time, when questing, I run no matter how far it is. So I guess a sturdy pair of sneakers are in order.

Well, I have the Red Dragonhawk and the Armored Red Dragonhawk.

I usually go by class than by race.
For example my Mag’har has the racial wolf mount for ground, and the warrior class mount as his flying.

Dranei ground mount? The cobalt riding talbuck would be my choice if I was going to do that sort of thing…

For the most part I just ride my pureheart corsair and vulpine familiar
