A field guide to mounts in the World of Warcraft. https://www.warcraftmounts.com

Warcraft Mounts logo for WoW: Midnight, featuring a range of mounts that have appeared in the expansion, against a screenshot of the violet sky over the Ise of Quel'Danas with the void portal sphere at the top, and the light reaching up to counter it.
A montage of mounts from the upcoming June Trading Post. The top row is taken up by a single shot of the Dusk-Painted Sun Roc - an eagle with black and red feathers, except for white flight feathers and brown wing tips. It's wearing a stylised bird mask of raw wood, with red and blue zig-zags painted around the crest. Its mask and its wooden chest armour both have a large, circular glowing gem in the centre that is a pale yellow colour with triangles of gold around the circumference, giving it a stylised sun appearance. The mount is depicted as flying above the central building of Thunder Totem in Highmountain, and the word 'Bonus' is written at the top. The bottom row consists of three mounts, each in a square, 1:1 profile. From left to right: - The Flame-Painted Sun Roc - another Sunwalker eagle mount, but this one has chocolate brown and dark teal green feathers, with white flight feathers. Its mask is a darker brown wood with red and blue paint around the crest. The sun gem designs on its armour are very similar to the Dusk-Painted one. It's depicted as flying above Thunder Totem. It has the word 'New' recorded at the top. - The Spotted Black Riding Goat - a dark brown goat with white flecks in its fur. It has a pale rope harness, a grey Pandaren bell hanging from its neck and a grey wicker basket and canister secured at its rump. It's being ridden by a human woman in black top and blue leather pants. - The Coldflame Cormaera - a fiery blue chimaera mottled with black, giving it a blue magma appearance, very much (intentionally) like a blue core hound. It flies high in a lavender sky with distant clouds. The cormaera and goat share the word 'RETURNING' written across the top of both.

A 2x2 comparison of Midnight updated appearances for the WoW human and blood elf paladin class mounts: the Charger (top) and Thalassian Charger (bottom). Originals on the left, with a teal arrow pointing to the updated versions on the right. The model is a fairly faithful update to the original (which dates back to Vanilla!). In both models the mount is a horse with bright glowing eyes, golden plate barding over much of the head and back of neck with long metal spikes along the ridge, golden metal shields on the shoulders and base of neck, metal coverings over the hooves, and a heavy coat over the body in race colours, with gold detailing. The Charger (human, top) has an Alliance blue coat. The original has very pale glowing eyes, but the update has an orange-gold glow. The Thalassian Charger (blood elf, bottom) has a Horde or Blood Elf red coat with an orange eye glow.
