Another quick vid from ZOMGOfficial showing off the Abyssal Seahorse mount in motion:

Really can't wait to add this one to the mount collection.

Wow. Could it get any uglier? I really don't like it... Too sparkly... It needs spikes and skulls on the sides. Oh, and some lasers.

Hey its a somewhat free quest reward.
And originally it was a Ray that looked like a Nether Ray.

It's different and interesting. I'm glad its not a nether ray! It's rather pretty.

That's AWESOME!

Course, I like sea horses...

(pst. do want dolphin still.)

Hmm. It's okay. It's movements strike me as a bit odd, though. Seahorses in real life swim rather smoothly rather than bounce around, and usually look a bit more... graceful and stable then that.

Otherwise, it's not bad. Not one of the coolest mounts out there, but it has it's charm.

I like it a lot. =) Saturo, not everything in WoW needs to have spikes (despite what the developers try and do.) Not too fond of the motion, but I assume it's still in beta mode. Yay for new mounts!

However, wtb stingray, shark, eel, jellyfish, or orca mounts.

I didn't hate it right up until it started to swim.

Looks like they just threw new art on the ray/dhawk model for the movement. Hopefully they'll bother smoothing that out.

But still. Me like.

When I read all her posts, I wonder what it is like to be Saturos boyfriend...

The seahorse is to much alliance-looking.
I don't like it.

Was that one on walking speed? Because I think I can swim faster than that on my worg

I...uhhhh...can't watch vids on our ships net . Can someone take a pic of it so I can see the goodness

Pretty much what meant. It looks too... Friendly? Anyhow, it needs to look a bit more scary. And not bounce.

I read this as a strong implication that he'd have spikes too. >_>

Sea horses don't strike me as being fearsome creatures. The phrase "killer sea horse" doesn't exactly strike terror into the hearts of men. Shark mounts would be way more Hordelike.

So I have no issue with the sea horses looking peaceful/friendly. And it has nothing to do with being Alliance. (Cause I've been talking about shark mounts all along, dammit.)

You must have misunderstood. :P

Let's just say that when it's at running speed... you're riding a huge freaking pogo-stick XD

It looks fine walking but heaven forbid you have it on run speed LOL!

For those curious on the Run Speed who haven't seen it Ride that Pogo!

BWAHAHAH! I'm just happy I have my turtle. :D

Hmm, well, I really like it and am looking forward to getting one. I'm pure Horde, but I agree that not all mounts have to look ferocious and spiky. I don't see how it looks Alliance-y, either. It's just a seahorse.

However, I keep thinking, "hoooorrrseeeeaaaa!" (think Pokemon)

Are you serious? That can't be the real run speed. The video must have gotten sped up somehow. That is the most sickening mount motion I have ever seen! Even more so than running gryphons with broken hips. lol

Aye, and they could easily fix this by making them move like real seahorses, like using their fins a bit more. Seahorses don't move around by "jumping" with their tail, you know... :/
