Lol it uses the direhorn skeleton...looks kinda weird (run animation leaves a lot to be desired).

The macho dance? Lol, couldn't help myself!
But I am in love with the new boars. They remind me of the boars from Princess Mononoke!

Unfortunately we don't have our own model shot for the white one yet.

Yes! I really love them for that.

Though I'm still kinda sad they don't have the old boar animations (those have so much personality and charm ♥), I can see how these wouldn't fit on that skeleton very well. Maybe they'll get something different from direhorns before release? I wonder if it could be placeholder animations, it would be neat to see something unique, though I won't hold my breath.

Those animations sure look placeholder to me.

if i recall.. that boar mount was suposed to be the worgen mount *before blizz changed it last minute* and gave us running wild instead to make it more *natural* since we are part dog..

They presented concept art for something that looked a bit like a boar and a bit like a mutant wolf. It was freaky.
In the end it kind of feels to me like they considered giving worgen carriages as a mount instead. I wish they'd been able to.

It was a neat looking creature, some sort of feral boar mutant, I don't even know. I like the concept of running wild though.

Gilnean Carriage and Bilgewater Hotrod.
Both available in their respective starting zone.

I'd kill to get rid of running wild in favor of this mount

I think the mutant pig-bear-wolf thing would've made a pretty cool mount - and yes I'd dump Running Wild in a heartbeat! I've never liked using it on my Worgen because um... it's questionable looking to be down on all fours with your hindquarters in the air and maybe a pet Sporebat following behind?
Not overly keen on this new boar mount only because I don't like the very heavy looking headpiece... I really prefer mounts with minimal headgear and visible eyes.

Like I'm personally a fan of the bear mounts, but the Big Battle Bear is the one I like best due to lack of adornments and a plain, visible face.

wish they would make some mounts without alot of armor or no armor tbh. 2 much armor just looks real stupid.. some look great but the pig.. to me would look better w.o it. the old model pigs in rfk - not 2 much - not 2 less = perfect.. i could cope with that.. lol either way im still gona buy all these dam mounts so guess i wont complain 2 much XD
