Top WOTLK Mounts You Need – Iconic Rides from Wrath of the Lich King
The Green Proto-Drake
The Green Proto-Drake is a fan-favorite thanks to its sleek, primal design. Obtaining this mount involves a bit of luck and commitment. First, gain Revered status with the Oracles faction. Once that’s done, purchase a Mysterious Egg. After seven days, it hatches into a Cracked Egg, which may contain the elusive Green Proto-Drake.
Mechano-Hog
The Mechano-Hog is the ultimate symbol of style for Horde bikers. With its low profile and mechanical roar, it's a mount that turns heads. However, it's not cheap—Titansteel Bars, Goblin Machine Pistons, Salvaged Iron Golem Parts, and more are required. But as the tooltip says—who wouldn’t want to ride this beast?
Grand Black War Mammoth
While the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth is a showstopper, the Grand Black War Mammoth is rare and exclusive. With only a 1% drop chance from bosses in the Vault of Archavon, and only accessible when your faction controls Wintergrasp, this mammoth is a true badge of honor. You can only run the raid once per week, so start grinding early!
Violet Proto-Drake
The Violet Proto-Drake is a stunning mount that rewards dedication over time. You’ll need to complete all eight major holiday achievements throughout the year. Once completed, you’ll receive this mount from Alexstrasza by mail. Since Wrath launches around Brewfest and Hallow’s End, be sure to complete those events early—or wait another year.
Time-Lost Proto-Drake
The Time-Lost Proto-Drake sits at the top of the list for a reason. It's one of the rarest mounts in WOTLK, with multiple spawn points and an unpredictable respawn timer. This is all about patience and luck. Take advantage of server layers and camp the right spots—especially while players are still leveling.
