We're also getting the falcosaurs and a skate, which is a stingray I believe.

My only pet peeve about the basilisk is I wish the saddle was a little further back xD I feel like clothies will blind it with their robes.

Also still no unarmored unicorns and stormdrakes in sight :(

I've got my eye on that beautiful purple stormcrow!

The basilisk is cool but not my favourite colour, personally. :( Wish they'd gone with the fel green or the slate or even the purple. Still cool though!

And the Nightfallen mount is very gorgeous, even if it is just another cat. :lol:

I don't mind more cats. As horde my cat mounts are lacking. :P I was oh so looking forward to the nightsabers, specifically this one, and was bummed we never got them. I love the shado-pan tigers but not their fugly face armor... and the zulian panther is great but a bit outdated.

I just want more moose colors. I don't have LW so no chance there, and my guild isn't exactly a pro raiding guild so no defiled moose. I didn't have the coin for the grove warden. I NEED A MOOSE THAT A PLEB LIKE ME CAN BUY! :cry:

P.S. I'm confused on how the white hawkstrider is new. Isn't that a drop from that dungeon on that island that has Sunwell Plateau? (I'm horrible with names, sorry!)

I haven't got the new mount images in, yet. Having trouble finding the purple stormcrow model.

In answer to the question about the white hawkstrider, the Sunwell white one is the elite model, with extra armour, the new white one uses the non-elite model. It's existed in the database for every bit as long as the other (i.e. since BC), but was one of two colours that was never implemented (the other being green).

Compare the new one: http://warcraftmounts.com/mounts/ivoryhawkstrider.php
...with the Sunwell one: http://warcraftmounts.com/mounts/swiftw ... trider.php

All the patch 7.1 mounts should be on Warcraft Mounts now. Check down under "Upcoming Mounts (Patch 7.1)" on the main page. I'll try to get a separate "7.1" page together tomorrow.

Of note:
- the four falcosaur (feathered, beaked raptors) mounts have returned and are associated with new events in 7.1. They previously appeared in the database for Alpha but were removed again.
- the Rockspine Basilisk mount model is new, but the icon for it has existed since 7.0, it was just never used till now! There's actually only one colour in the model folder (green) but the skin format is the same as all the wild spiny basilisks so I modeled all the other colour variants and added them as unused looks. I'm rather fond of the orange one and the leystone one. The leystone and felslate ones would make pretty cool Mining profession mounts :) Maybe they could be rare drops from the basilisks that occasionally spawn while mining.
- the Ivory Hawkstrider is a BC mount variant. This one just never made it in. I believe they're using our unused mount appearances page to include a few old mounts :)
- the Smoldering Ember Wyrm is listed as dropping from Nightbane in the OLD Karazhan, not the new dungeon. This is surprising and makes me wonder if it's wrong.

- also, a bunch of PvP mounts have reappeared in the Mount database, namely a bunch of Courser and Gladiator's Storm Dragon colours. They were added in the beta and then stripped out again before release. I've set them as upcoming but declined to give them a patch number yet as I'm still scpetical - there's no other sign of them being used and it's possible they returned due to an error. Also, the extra storm drakes would mean five arena seasons in Legion, unless they plan something different for them.
Check under "Upcoming Mounts (later patches)" to see the other courser and storm dragon colours. I'm really fond of the lilac one.

- also, also, I still haven't modeled the new purple stormcrow mount. I can't for the life of me work out the names of the files associated with it :P There's no hurry as it's not actually listed as a new mount yet, there's just the model.

I just realized something. WoD was the only expansion without proper dragon mounts.

In BC, we had the Netherdrakes.
Wrath, the Proto-Drakes and regular drakes.
Cata, the Wind drakes, Rock drakes, and Alexstrasza drakes.
MoP, the cloud serpents.

And now in Legion, we're back with the storm drakes.

No wonder WoD was received so poorly!

The Warcraft Mounts Patch 7.1 page is now live. It shows what we know so far, but it also includes some speculation (PvP mounts that were removed during Beta have returned to the database, but these may or may not be errors).

Please let me know if anything is missing, thanks :)

It's suddenly not looking so good for the Rockspine Basilisk mount. As far as I can tell it was deleted from the database in the latest PTR build. So it could well be delayed till a later Legion patch.

In more interesting news, the recent build has a reference to an icon for a "fire cat mount", but the actual files for the icon (and any model it may refer to) are not yet in the database. Hopefully a fire cat mount is coming, though :)

Also, I added the purple / arcane version of the Stormcrow mount to the WCM database as an unused skin :

The model appeared in the 7.1 database but there's been no associated mount spell or data yet.

Yep, once you have the baby falcosaur there are 14 quests to complete and then you can get the mount (the quests are once per day, but if you have multiple level 110 characters you can do one on each to speed it up).

Yup! Though there are currently two falcosaur mounts you can't obtain (the dark red-black one and the orange one). You can get the minpet versions and do most of their quest chains in preparation, but the third last quest in each chain requires you to kill a boss in The Nighthold, which won't be out till January :(

The falcosaur quests require questing, dungeons, pet battles, and raids, as WELL as some PvP.
Talk about a way to turn me off.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

They don't really require pvp... you need to do pvp world quests, but the towers are fine for that. LFR is also fine for the raid quests.

The Heavenly Jade cloudie, judging from the timing and price tag, is probably the MoP Timewalk reward. My best guess.
