Which mounts I use varies wildly, largely depending on what Race/Class I’m playing to fit the theme. The only mounts I use universally across all characters would be the Grand Expedition Yak and the Savage Green Battle Turtle. The Yak for the transmog NPC and the turtle because it would be my favorite of the aquatic mounts.
If I had to pick favorites for ground and flying… hmm…
Ground
- Black War Kodo - my very first Epic mount back when getting a mount was a huge deal
- Black War Mammoth - Stevey has carried me through many battle across Northrend and beyond
- Frostwolf Howler - just an iconic wolf that I spent days in AV getting
- Kor’kron War Wolf - my first AOTC
- Mechano-Hog - I spent so much time farming mats and getting into Ulduar groups to make it
- Warlord’s Deathwheel - I don’t care if it was a silly marketing contest. I think it looks really cool.
Flying
- Heart of the Aspects - I really like the design and am so happy they updated its wonky animations
- Turbo-charged Flying Machine - my first Epic flying mount, again back when getting a mount was a huge deal
- Iron Skyreaver - It just fits for basically any Horde character
- Ravenous Black Gryphon - just a really nice, simple, HD gryphon model that I use for all my Human and Dwarf alts
