Bananahawk <3

My boyfriend brings my incredible luck. I got this beautiful mount and the nightsabre cub mini pet yesterday! I was so incredibly happy! This beauty (who still needs a name), was mount number 130 for my warrior, and my second TCG mount along with the Mottled Drake. I am pretty sure I was realm first for both mounts, as well as I am still realm only.
And for kicks, my mottled, named Sixty-Seven after one of Trav's favourite cars.

Maybe I should have named this TLPD Camping Thread and maybe I would have gotten some responses o_O xD
Just some extras about this mount:
* Its colours look very different depending on the lighting, ranging from dark greeny to bright yellow.
* It makes an extremely cute nose upon summon, a little windy roar. It sounds slightly higher pitched and shorter than the other dragonhawk
roars but I could be mistaken. I tested this with my sunreaver dragonhawk and the red dragonhawk.
* It shares all animations, including mount special, with the other dragonhawks.
* It shares its skin with
http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/dragonhawkskin02.html for any hunters who get this mount and want a matching pet!
* It is also BoE which I forgot to mention, so it can be traded in game. Of course I used mine though
So far I am loving this mount. She is eye catching and beautiful, though I have always been a fan of dragonhawks as mounts.
Edit:
About the actual loot card itself: It is loot card 3/3 from Twilight of the Dragons expansion set. The others are 1/3 the Nightsaber cub mini, and 2/3 the Fools Gold mini pet.

This is one my favourite dragonhawk skins, though for the life of me I don't know why.

Congratulations on the gorgeous mount! I can only ever dream!

Thank you

It is also one of my favourites, because its so obnoxiously yellow/green and pink xD I tamed one briefly on my hunter, but the constant flapping has caused me to never really bond with a dragonhawk on her. :s Yet I love the mounts!

That's funny, I could never bond with the mounts for some reason, despite REALLY liking the models, but as pets, I just adore dragonhawks. The gorgeous wings and the delightful colour combinations. I have one on most of my hunters, and am eyeballing the black unused model greedily.
Funnily, I realised that dragonhawks are one of the few mounts that male orcs in plate armour don't look completely stupid and misshapen on. It took my husband and I a long time to find a suitable flying mount for his orc warrior, and we were both very surprised that the Argent Tournament dragonhawk was the best fit.
Also, grats on the drake. Not one of my personal favourites, but I am guessing it's very rare!

Grats, the yellow really is stunning.

Thanks guys haha.
And a male orc looks nice on one? xD I dont think I've ever seen an orc on a dragonhawk. I know my undead fits quite nicely :3

Yes, this surprised me too. It's that stupid male Orc shoulder span and the hunched posture that makes them look like they're crushing every mount under their vast bulk, but as dragonhawks are so lithe and agile, it seems to balance it out. Your undead does look good on it, but we all know that the Forsaken look elegant on every mount.
