In Oribos or any other non-flying area, the random button should never summon a flying mount if you have ground mounts in your favorites.
I want to use my ground mounts exclusively when I can’t fly.

you can do something like this macro
#showtooltip
/userandom Green Marsh Hopper, Swift Green Hawkstrider
Put a bunch of mounts in separating them by commas and it’ll select a random one from the list.
choose the ones you like

This is admittedly a minor issue, but still a pet peeve of mine as well. Most flying mounts look incredibly stupid when waddling around on the ground and I’d like to be able to filter those out when in a no flying zone.

Litemount addon has this logic as an option.

I need it to happen with one single button. I can’t afford 2 buttons just to separate ground and flying mounts.
Get rid of them in your favorites until you can fly again?
But ur a demon hunter I think you can

Redo my favorites every time I switch zone ? Good idea.
Oh no, not what I meant. Didn’t know you could do that.
Just took them all out of my favorite list until flying would be available again.
I’d rather only exclude the ones without run animations. Stuff like gryphons or the hunter/priest class mounts are fine IMO, it’s only things like the cloud serpents and rays and the rogue birds that look dumb floating 6 inches off the ground. Even some “flying” mounts really just run on air, like the paladin and warlock class mounts from Legion. There’s no reason to exclude those in a no-fly zone.
But then what if someone just can’t stand the undercity bat’s awkward walk animation? (Not criticizing the art team here, it makes perfect sense that a bat would walk awkwardly when it walks at all. But I can see where some people might want the bat to be flying-zone-only even though it does have separate animations.)
Or there might be people who don’t like the rat and ox sprouting ghost wings for no reason and only want to use those as ground mounts.
In order to accommodate various player preferences they should probably just have separate “favorite ground” and “favorite air” checkboxes (although mounts that can’t fly at all would have “favorite air” disabled). If you’re in a zone where your current character isn’t allowed to fly, pull from the ground list, otherwise pull from the air list.
I just wish they would add two buttons for “Summon Random Grounded Mount” and “Summon Random Flying Mount.” So many flight-capable mounts look absurd on the ground when they’re used in no-flight zones.

Its so irritating that they have ground only mounts…and ofc, what they are doing with flight and pathfinder these days.
Keep in mind, it was more fun running through vanilla dead space than it is travelling any zone since legion, with a giant train on you always, and “follow the path its your only option” style zones…someone tell them no one wants to spend 15min clearing a zone so you can walk through it in the open world.

#showtooltip Mount Up
/run if GetZoneText() == "Oribos" then C_MountJournal.SummonByID(52) else C_MountJournal.SummonByID(0) end
is doing me wonders to show off my Palomino in Oribos, and do the appropriate Favorite Mounts elsewhere.
