What are the best mounts in World of Warcraft?

The best mount is the one that you like the most, or the one that fits your transmog best. However, some mounts in World of Warcraft stand out for their unique appearance, outstanding popularity, lore relevance, shiny colors, etc.

We will go over some of those awesome mounts in this article, so get ready to ride on!

10. Gargantuan Grrloc

A big murloc. A very, very big murloc, and he is rather angry too. What else do I have to say? This mount is absolutely awesome, especially if you play a Goblin character, and makes your character look a lot like the legendary alchemist Razzil Darkbrew from DOTA or the Alchemist from DOTA 2. The Grrloc is currently in the 12-Month Subscription Bundle until January 2023, so you better hurry if you want to get this bad boy.

9. Antoran Charhound

If you are edgy and ain’t ashamed of it, then this mount can take your edge to a whole new level. This absolute unit of a demon hound, created by Sargeras himself, looks amazing and menacing, like a magma bomb about to explode at any minute and melt your enemies. These fiery hounds are rare drops from the second boss in the Antorus raid, so get your guild together and go get’em.

8. Vengeance

Dragonhawks are the flagship animals of the prideful Blood Elves of Quel’Thalas. But this isn’t your average dragonhawk, this is the deathly Vengeance, a symbol of the darkened soul of Lady Sylvanas Windrunner. And to ride on this undead beast, you’ll have to defeat Sylvanas in Mythic difficulty Sanctum of Domination. This isn’t an easy task, and it is a rare drop, but this dreadful mount is absolutely worth it.

7. Mechacycle Model W

Now here is a somewhat weird mount, the Mechacycle Model W. This one's for all of you who enjoy the mechanic and engineering aesthetic in WoW, being the perfect mount for engineer themed characters and mechagnomes. And, on top of that, it looks absolutely unique. Keep in mind that if you want to grind this mount, you’ll have a lot of work ahead in order to unlock the Mecha-Done achievement, basically doing everything in Mechagon to get it.

6. Soaring Spelltome

Mages are masters of the arcane, with countless magic spells under their belt, or, should I say, under their tome. This mount is the perfect pick to fulfill the wizard fantasy in WoW once and for all. Riding a giant spellbook? These are levels of wizardry that would put Khadgar to shame. Venture into the Mage Towers and fly out of there on your brand new grimoire right now.

5. Tomb Stalker

Let’s be honest: ancient giant raptors are the best thing that Battle for Azeroth gave us. These beasts look terrifying and awesome, with the highlight here being the Tomb Stalker. If you’re going for the tribal warrior theme on your character, this is a perfect choice, especially for Zandalari Trolls. Defeat King Dazar at the Mythic difficulty Kings’ Rest dungeon and pray to the RNG gods that you drop this mount.

4. Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher

Soaring through the skies on top of a reanimated bloody dragon, it can’t get any cooler than that. These undead constructs of bone and metal look absolutely fantastic, and you will feel like the most badass necromancer of Azeroth when you’re on top of one of them. All you have to do is to prove your worth through the depths of the Icecrown Citadel.

3. Ashes of Al’ar

We’ve reached the top 3 and this list simply wouldn’t be right without Ashes of Al’ar. This mount is an absolute classic in WoW and has remained popular over the years for very good reason. It is colorful, it is pretty, and it looks amazing. A rare drop from Kael’thas Sunstrider, lord of the Blood Elves, at the iconic Burning Crusade raid The Eye.

2. Invincible

The glorious steed of prince Arthas himself, this is the horse that served the forces of light and the Lich King alike. Not only does it look amazing, but you simply cannot measure the amount of significance around this mount in WoW. Just like the previous entry on the list, it has remained popular to this day. When it comes to mounts, Invincible truly is invincible. Or at least it was, before Dragonflight.

1. Dragon Isles Drakes

With the recent release of Dragonflight, the whole meaning of mounts has been changed in World of Warcraft. Dragon Riding is a new skill tree that allows you to soar through the skies of Azeroth with all new mechanics and incredible speed. Honestly, these drakes put all of the previous mounts of the game to shame, due to just how fun they are to ride. On top of that, all of the Dragon Riding mounts can be fully customized when it comes to their appearance. These dragons truly are a game changer and represent the bright future of mounts in WoW.
