The talbuks. I have them all for steps towards the Mountains of Mounts achievement, but they're just ugly. Not to mention I think the Mag'har would be more likely to eat the things than ride them. I still think they should have made these the Draenei racial mounts and the elekks cross-faction. I mean, really! The alliance has access to one hawkstrider (Kael's), so the Horde should be able to get one elekk, it's only fair. To paraphrase a certain cartoon character "where's my elekk?!"

Mirimom's Head is also butt-ugly. It reminds me of the clown face thing Bowser was riding around in at the end of Super Mario World (and yes, I know I just dated myself as a gamer with that remark), but I'd probably role on it if it dropped.

I hate the colour scheme on the Time-Lost protodrake, but I want it anyway. Hell, I just want to be able to say I've seen the damn thing!

the one I can't stand completely and utterly is the ebon gryphon, the color combo just doesn't look right to me, but I'd get it anyway for the achievement... :\

The elekks and the sparkle pony.

The pony just has to many flaws. It's jump animation don't make one bit of sense, it's wing flap is annoying, and the tips of it's wings are pertinently bent stuck upwards/folded over top even when flying. It shares many animations with the hippogriffs but it just looks so badly rushed in the rigging.

I actually really like both talbuks and elekks (though for some reason, I like elekks more on my night elves...go figure). Acherontia, I know exactly which Bowser-mount you're talking about, loved that game.....

Anyway! I really can't stand the colors of the twilight drake, but I'd probably roll on it anyway. I also hate the frostbrood dragon mounts (the ICC achievement mounts). I never really could get into the undead-looking stuff, but at least things like Baron's mount and Headless Horseman's and Fiery Warhorse have armor to cover some of it up. Those dragons are just bony and ugly. I HATE the DK undead gryphon too, for that matter. Yuck!!! (Which means yes, I also hate the bone raptors we've seen in Cataclysm beta.....)
