Quest Reward Mounts
Venomhide Ravasaur
Requirements: Level 40, Riding Skill 75
Movement: Ground Only - 100%
Ridden by: Orcs, Undead, Tauren, Trolls, Blood Elves
Source: Mor’vek in Un’Goro Crater. To gain this mount travel to Un’Goro Crater and seek out Mor’vek at the edge of the Crater, south east of Fire Plume Ridge. Mor’vek will offer you several easy quests to complete. Once you have proven yourself to Mor’vek by completing his quests he will offer you a Venomhide Ravasaur hatchling for you to raise. For the hatchling to fully mature, you will need to collect 20 of it’s baby teeth. The baby teeth are obtained by doing the daily quest offered to you by the hatchling (rather easy collection quests). Once you have collected all 20 teeth, bring them, 20 Runecloth, 80 Gold and 20 Rugged Leather back to Mor’vek for the saddle to your new mount. Keep in mind the teeth are given as a reward for a daily quest, so it will take you 20 days (at least) to get your mount.

The Oracles offer several daily quests in the surrounding village to help you gain the needed reputation. Once you are able to buy the egg you will be forced to wait seven days for it to hatch. Once hatched you will find either, an Aged Yolk, one of the various mini-pets, or if you are exceptionally lucky this mount. You may only have one Mysterious Egg in your inventory at one time. The Green Proto-Drake has roughly a 2% drop rate.
Cenarion War Hippogryph
Requirements: Level 70, Riding Skill 300
Movement: Ground - 100%, Air - 280%
Ridden by: Humans, Dwarves, Night Elves, Gnomes, Draenei, Orcs, Undead, Tauren, Trolls, Blood Elves
Source: Purchased from Fedryen Swiftspea in Cenarion Refuge, Zangarmarsh. This mount will cost 1600 Gold, and is only available at Exalted reputation. To achieve Exalted status, run Slave Pens, or Underbog if you can and turn in all the Unidentified Plant Parts you possibly can. These drop off of most the mobs in Zangermarsh. Once you’ve reached Honored you can no longer turn in the Plant parts, so make the most of it while you can. Once you reach Honored, if you haven’t done them already, now would be the best time to knock out all the quests available from the Cenarion Expedition. Also during this time you should turn in any Uncatalogued Species you have previously found.

This mount requires you to be Exalted with either the Kurenai or Mag’har depending on if you are Alliance or Horde. There are only so many quests that will give you this reputation so be prepared to kill a lot of Ogres. Ogres can be found in various places throughout Nagrand and will randomly drop War Beads.
