We have our pony: Invincible revealed
by Matt Low

The Warcraft twitter account just linked to a new page on the official World of Warcraft site regarding Invincible. This stallion served Arthas in life as his mount. Unfortunately, Arthas worked his mount a little too hard and slipped on ice. Arthas had no choice but to give Invincible a merciful death. (You can find more details about the story if you've read Arthas: Rise of the Lich King by Christie Golden.) When Arthas became the Lich King, he visited Invincible's grave and raised him from the dead in order to serve him.
How do you get him?
Oh, it's fairly simple to get. This pony can't get hungry, tired, or feel pain. Great for a Lich King to use when traveling around, right? All you have to do is pry it from Arthas' cold, dead hands. Beat Arthas in Icecrown Citadel on heroic mode, and Invincible will serve you.
But we don't know if everyone in the raid is going to get one (like Ulduar drakes) or if only one mount will drop (akin to killing Sartharion with 3 drakes up or the Mimiron head mount from Yogg-Saron).

Love the mount.
Pretty predictable about where it drops though.

If you'd read the post, you would see that it says Lich King Heroic in bold letters.
Also:
"In order to attain such a steed, one must conquer Icecrown Citadel and face the Lich King on Heroic difficulty. Perhaps you will be the lucky individual to obtain the most coveted of mounts..."
That's right, it says 'individual', not the entire raid, Matt ;)
I wish it was...

Give it a lick!
Ewww, it tasted just like maggots!

With the stroke of it's wings, it turns into some frings.
Frings are fries and onion rings in the same meal.

Hivetyrant Jan 27th 2010 4:30PM

Well I better not show you how invincible was raised!

Umm, no, EPIC WIN.

I'm guessing one, since the Ulduar drakes are achievement-based (Glory of the Ulduar Raider), and the Icecrown equivalent (Glory of the Icecrown Raider) awards Frost Drake mounts.
It'll be like Mimiron's Head or the Sartharion 3-D mount. One kill awards one Invincible.

Perhaps you will be the lucky individual to obtain the most coveted of mounts -- the Invincible Charger.
That right there tells me it is just like the drake off sarth+3 and the Mimiron head mount. One will drop and everyone in the raid will have to squabble over it.

It would be a nice fitting end for this expansion if Incincible was a raid wide drop.
Sure, it decreases the coolness having so many about, but blizz seems to like drowning us in free stuff just before another expansion hits (I'm not complaining)

This.

Seems like more and more mounts are raid exclusive these days boooo. :(
