Burning Crusade mounts

BCspy.de.vu presents us with these lovely photographs of various mounts we'll be seeing in the Burning Crusade. For normal mounts, we have the Draenei's elephant-like Elekk, the Blood Elf's Cockatrices, a specially colored Paladin Warhorse for the Blood Elf, and the ram-like (only taller) Talbuk. For flying mounts, we have Gyphons for the alliance and Wyverns for the horde, as well as the (presumably more rare) Netherdrakes and Pheonixes. There's still no news about how to get any of these mounts (the Talbuk are especially mysterious -- they are listed as neutral mounts, and are obviously not of the flying sort, which makes them somewhat unusual), but they're great eye-candy -- so click on and enjoy!Filed under: Expansions

The awesomocity of the Cockatrice makes me even happier to be rolling a BE rogue. =)

What I want to know is what are the Draenei pallys going to ride? I mean they will be to big for a warhorse. I hope they come up with a tricked out Elekk. Anyone know if there is any information on this?

Heh, thats funny, Rogues are suppost to be nice and stealthy and a BE one will be drawing attention from a mile away with that mount (kinda like I do in silithus with a frostwolf howler, fricken allies can see me from so far away).
I was actually wondering what they were going to give the BE paladins. I wanted to see the level 40 mount as well. But I can say the epic mount looks really good, no more gold farts.

:( The link's broken. 403 error.
What surprises me is that the Hippogrifs didn't make it as flying mounts. We've already seen them, not only in the wild, but at Darnassus. Ah well.

The Talbuk looks remarkably similar to:

Someone is a fan of Princess Mononoke methinks. Also, they are basically a reskinned version of the pack mule model which can be found at Light's Hope Chapel (and no other place in the game to my knowledge).

That, my friends, is a nice-looking Pheonix. And you thought the Baron's Steed stood out.

Armored Wyvern = coolest thing EVER

To #2, the blood elf mount is awesome, it fits them so much because they love to ride the cock...

Six flying mounts for the Alliance. Two for the Horde. Figures.

The wyvern is ugly imo. I find it extremely boring that horde is just getting their regular flight path mount with no flair for the non-epic, and then some silly armored version of the same boring wyvern.
The griffon is a beautiful majestic looking creature. I can't wait to ride one with my guildmates, it will be quite a screenshot.
