My favorite mount has always been the Sea Turtle.
I am one of the many that have played wow since release, however about halfway through Cata I was bored and sold my account after having it idle for months on end. Anyways I digress... The reason I say the Sea Turtle is my favorite mount is this... I started this game as a Gnome Rogue named Flower, and I once I was 60 I farmed cloth for IronForge reputation endlessly. You see I hated the Mechano Strider (keep in mind this was back when the mounts looked like ass, LONG before most of them where fixed.) Anyways I literally remember days on end farming cloth at the blood elf camp in Ashara so I could get a Ram. Gnomes look badass on a Ram... well they did at the time. Anyways .. short story long. The day I proudly marched my little gnome ass into IronForge to show off my newly purchased Ram of 1000 truths, some jerk that had managed to get the original Riding Turtle was parked in front of the AH totally stealing all of my hard earned thunder.
I was heartbroken. Until midway through WoTLK when low an behold you could FISH for a turtle mount..... I fished for DAYS! .. but I rode that son of a bitch around like a Baus!
There are a TON of cool mounts, very cool mounts. Turtle holds a very special place in my heart.
On a side note, this account win would be pretty sweet, as I have been considering getting back into Wow with everyone saying Mop has made it fun again. My problem has been buying the whole set of games from the ground up and leveling all over again.. however .. daily I fight the urge to run out and spend a ton of cash I DON'T have to get back in :P
Thanx for the rad contest.. Here is the best 2 screenshots I have ever taken in Wow as a thank you.
This is my original baby.
