wow How the Free Mounts Could Look Like in Shadowlands

[Stan 5,239]

Blizzard started a poll yesterday, and they will create a free mount based on the winner. It's almost certain the new mount will be based on existing creature models, so to give you an idea, we've looked at how the next mount could potentially look like.

Note that this post is based on speculation and the winner mount may have a different model, features, color, and size.

Wandering Ancient

Not all ancients are interested in war or lore, some just want to travel the world! A large and leafy mount, the Wandering Ancient invites you to climb aboard and grab ahold of its branches as you embark on a lumbering expedition.

The mount may share models with the updated Ancient of War model.

Soaring Spelltome

In the forgotten depths of the Dalaran library, this oversized tome was found flapping madly around the room. Open the pages of this arcane-infused book and hitch a ride to magical adventure.

The mount could share models with the Animated Tome pet.

Nerubian Swarmer

When the Helm of Domination shattered, the Nerubians under the control of the Lich King were unleashed. Some were captured by the Argent Crusade and turned by their allies in the Ebon Blade. Now their spidery claws are put to use as mounts, skittering through the frozen tundra of Icecrown in pursuit of the rampaging undead.

We found a battle pet with the identical name that you learn from Nerubian Relic. The pet drops from Anub'arak in the Trial of the Crusader.

Curious Caterpillar

A curious caterpillar found its way to the Heartland in Valley of the Four Winds one night and gorged itself on the oversized vegetables. The Pandaren of Halfhill awoke the next morning to find the crops half-eaten and an enormous, slumbering caterpillar among them. Too large to become a butterfly, this friendly worm is just the right size to train as a mount.

Even though the current models don't have a high quality, we think the mount will be similar to Imperial Silkworm, as the battle pet and the other corresponding tints represent creatures from the Valley of the Four Winds as hinted in the description.

The caterpillar model would need to be updated to fit today's standards.

Gooey Slimesaber

From the slime pools of Plaguefall emerged all manner of jellied creature, including this sticky kitty. A slimy saber cat that's dripping with ooze, it's the kind of mount that you're going to want to wear gloves for.

We think the mount will share models with the Jelly Cat pet.

Which one is your favorite and why?

Yeah, those are unimpressive, but they are mostly pets and should just give you general idea of the concept. I think this will be the Blizzcon 2020 substitude event and Blizzard may want to give the community something special and unique, like the Sky Golem. We will see.
