My favorite flying mount will always be my Time-Lost Protodrake, as a kid first getting into WoW and my friend showing me the mount search on WoWhead right at the tail end of BC/start of WOTLK and finding this mount surrounded by speculation and theories gave it a complete mystical allure in my brain like the playground myths of finding Mew under the truck or getting the mossdeep rocket launch counter to exactly 100 to encounter Deoxys (or Jirachi) without needing an event.
Finally coming to retail in WoD after I was done being a broke kid who couldnât afford a WoW sub and ACTUALLY running into Time-Lost while levelling my first retail toon at 76 in Sholazar and deciding to take a little break from questing to go completely on a limb and check Time-Losts routes in Storm Peaks, parking myself on a cliff I saw recommended in some guides bc Time-Lost flies very close to it on his path, and taking a quick bathroom break only to come back and see my screen flaring red, NPC scan popping off, AND TIME-LOST AGGROING ME was easily one of the biggest highlights of my gaming life you have no idea how loud I screamed lol. This mount will never not be special to me, because it felt like it was practically meant to be. Runners up gotta be Tyraels Charger (Iâm so glad they brought it back lol), my ICC Meta Frostbrood Vanquishers, Wonderwing 2.0, or my Forgotten Hippogryph
As for my fav ground mounts I personally own, itâs gotta be either my Magic Rooster, Grey Riding Camel (Iâve been Tahatan, The Camel Hoarder ever since I got it), Brawlers Burly Basilisk, Gargantuan Grrloc, or my Swift Zulian Panther I think haha

Same here. That big spider is my all time favorite, I use it on all my characters. I bought it when that xpack was current and saved like crazy just to buy it. That was a lot of gold for me, Iâm not one of those AH barons, but it was totally worth it.
Invincible. I love the whole design of it. I think mostly because when it was a 100% drop when it was the current Heroic raid we had it on farm and I had rolled a 99 only to lose to a 100 roll lol. Also was the only raid I got a realm first title too downing H LK. So that mount means a lot to me and use it when I am not in DF.
Ashes of Aâlar is a close second.
Depends on the character.

I still like my Warlock class mounts from the Legion expansion. I use these mounts for my Warlock most of the time.
Hellblazing Reins of the Brimstone Wrathsteed
Netherlordâs Chaotic Wrathsteed
Shadowy Reins of the Accursed Wrathsteed
My favorite mount that I have yet to acquire is the Midnightâs Eternals Reins.
probably the one that looks like a felhunter lock pet
too bad most of my hordies are too big and the mount doesnt scale properly⌠blizzardâŚ
Well, I love my dragon mounts best as a whole single group. I have two tied for fav: Infinite Timereaver and Onyxia! My other dragons also variously feature, like my Voidy dragon, my tangled dreamweaver, and my Nether drakes⌠itâs the roar, the (usually) pinecone tails, the cute faces, nice flying animationsâŚ
I have a special attachment to my first mount, the snowy white gryphon and always wondered what itâd be like to ruffle through his feathers while giving him nice scritches

My Amani War Bear. i carried my group getting those timed runs in and was glad to get one of em before the leader decided to stop doing the runs.
Infinite Timereaver. It was my white whale for so long and I was over the moon when I finally got it.
Close seconds are Lifebinderâs Handmaiden and Obsidian Destroyer.

Magic Rooster, always and forever.
Chacken squad.
Mine is my Red Proto-drake. I know there are way âcoolerâ looking mounts, but I prefer that one because of how much fun I had getting it with my friends.

Cataclysmic Gladiatorâs Drake.
Runner up, prolly the Pureblood Firehawk. I had a ton of fun in Cata.
Does the s11 one also have the foot graphic glitches and the jumping bug that the s9 one has? I know the wrath drakes had the jumping bug for a while but not sure if they ever fixed it.
I can look, never noticed it.
Itâs bad, lol. The jumping bug and the back foot breaking when you jump can be seen here:
Posted that in the bug report forum like 5 years ago. The front foot of the s9 one also has a hole:
My warlordâs deathwheel that I cannot ride on my alliance toons.
Flight FormâŚ
Yeah, it isnât really a mount but it is my favorite. Too bad it will probably never be useful again.
