At the point, is there even a reason why they cannot just let the other ground mounts have this option as well? Surely Blizzard has seen the data and that ground only mounts aren’t being used all that often because they cannot fly. Hence why they made it so the Gleaming Moonbeast can fly instead of staying grounded. This will be even more an issue after all Flying mounts can dynamic fly as well.
It isn’t the only, or first, mount to have a ‘running in air’ animation while flying. For example, the jeweled panther mounts from the MoP expansion do that.

And they look awful doing it too.
Those stupid streaks in the air are the reason I can’t use those mounts at all.
It’s the most recent one. By making it fly it’s clear that Blizzard knows that Ground mounts are unfavored outside PvP, as being able to Fly is too huge an advantage.
If they made it a Mount Equipment that allowed it, then that would be fine. I just miss my ground only mounts, but cannot justify using them when I’m flying everywhere.
