Shimmermist Runner can fly but Sinrunner Blanchy cant?

Seems odd to me especially since Blanchy takes a lot more work to get and is a ghost

Unocorn mounts are the ones that can fly. Shimmermist Runner is a unicorn, Sinrunner Blanchy is not.

I think being a Ghost might cover the flying part no?

do you fly when you are a ghost? I didn’t get that upgrade… lol

actually on my demon hunter i noticed the other day that yes indeed I could fly as a ghost. so… there’s that? lol

The weight of Blanchy’s sins keeps them grounded.

The other ghost horses can fly though, like the Ironbound Wraithcharger. And the Ghastly Charger.

You can’t teach an old blanchy new tricks.

To be perfectly fair, we do have one zombie and two ghost horses capable of flight without wings.

That’s not even going into the demon horses. That said, nobody tells Blanchy what she can and cannot do.

The unicorn-type mounts fly without wings, and they are alive. I guess “magic” and all, but still, they have no wings and can fly.

Not all horse can fly. I’ve been wanting my Midnight mount from BC Kara to fly for years.

It is a bit disappointing that it’s not a flying mount.

Last time this happened, it was with the Emerald Nightmare Moose and the Archaeology Moose. After enough time, Blizzard added flight to both.

I could see this being the same way.

I am okay with Blanchy not flying… I do however feel sad that she is in Revendreth. She deserved eternal green pastures for her long service and expansions!
