A new poll posted on the official Warcraft Instagram account has sparked major speculation among players. The question: “Which ultra rare mount would you love to have?” The result so far shows a clear favorite, but the community is wondering: is Blizzard planning to bring any of these legendary mounts back?
Poll Results
The 
Spectral Tiger, one of the most iconic and rare TCG mounts ever released, dominated the poll with 49% of the votes. Coming in second was the 
Magic Rooster, another TCG exclusive, at 20%. Third place went to the 
Black Qiraji Battle Tank (19%), a mount reserved for Scarab Lords. The 
Big Blizzard Bear, distributed during BlizzCon 2008, rounded out the list at 12%.
Why is Blizzard Asking Now?
Blizzard’s move to ask players about ultra-rare mounts raises an important question: Are these rare collectibles coming back?
Recent history suggests it’s possible. The 
Reins of the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur, an AH mount with a mailbox, was a massive success when introduced. Nearly 1 in 5 WoW accounts purchased it, despite its $90 price tag. This showed Blizzard that the demand for premium mounts is strong.
Spectral Tiger’s Future?
There’s more fuel to the fire: In China, Blizzard released a flying Spectral Tiger mount for around $265, usable even in Classic, SoD, and Hardcore servers, as a ground mount.
Given the overwhelming poll results and the proven success of the Gilded Brutosaur, it’s not unreal to think Blizzard could bring back the Spectral Tiger, possibly through the in-game shop or even as part of a subscription bundle to boost player counts!
With the Magic Rooster also high on the wishlist, Blizzard has plenty of options to decide which ultra mount they’d bring back! What do you think?
