Phew, I'll finally be able to change my macro to "/yell Mount the core hounds!"

Comment by Niniveh

As A BM hunter with the Core hound as a pet and the Core hound pup vanity pet , this could look pretty epic.

Comment by Jenzul

In speculation, core hounds do not have much relevance to the plot of draenor...Except for in Upper Blackrock Spire, which will have a new core hound called Son of The Beast... It's possible that said corehound will be the candidate most connected to the mount. Perhaps a drop from Zaela?

Or, if we're not so fortunate, it will just be another blizzard store mount.

Update: I suppose I couldn't have guessed it myself, but the mount will actually be a reward for defeating Ragnaros in the 40-player Raid Finder version of Molten Core, which will be available for the WoW's 10th anniversary event.

Comment by Mezurn

I hope we see Finkle Einhorn again due to these Core Hounds. Then again... I don't think that's a good idea...

Comment by Brozlaf

How do we get one? Drop? Rep?

Comment by sjcalvs

No real relevance to the plot
No data for where it drops or where it's sold via vendor
Hasn't been seen openly in use by NPCs in the beta like the Elekk and %^&*

Everything seems to point to a store mount, especially after Blizzard's comments about "not having enough resources" to introduce many new mounts into the actual expansion.

Comment by Magma92

~~Currently in the WoD Beta you can go into your mount journal and look at the Core Hound mount. There is speculation that it WILL be at drop since in the journal it says "Drop: Take a Guess".~~

Update 8/6/14: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/15107686/gearing-up-to-celebrate-10-years-of-world-of-warcraft-8-6-2014

"Downing the Firelord will earn you an Achievement and a special Core Hound mount reward (fireproof leg armor not included)."

Looks like you will obtain it during this new event to celebrate 10 years of WoW

Ride you own The Beast!

Comment by Makhunty

Oh! Yes.....

Comment by Kaidelair

Why not a three-headed dog like Cerberus?

Comment by Kaidelair

Perfect choice for any scary and agry warlock.

Comment by Solaerias

Epic

Comment by Tom608

I have a feeling this may be a dungeon achievement reward, considering that all of them are red.

Comment by Levarus

Hopefully this is not a store mount. That would be so disappointing and lame.

Comment by Hrull

realy coll

Comment by krmar10

The new Core Hound mount will most likely be yet ANOTHER store bought mount. Blizzard really, really, needs to give it a rest on store bought crap.

Comment by perculia

~~The displayID currently associated with this mount is the White Stallion, so if you click on View 3D currently you will see a horse. However, you can view the correct 3D Model on our newspost.~~

Model working correctly now--we found a fix around the data!

Comment by perculia

I hope this isn't the final animations of it. The chains on top are not very logically connected and they stretch in the animation.

Comment by r8dj

Just when players were hoping to mount Ghostcrawler......

Comment by junte

Cool i hope they make taxi mount out of it!

Comment by visconwow

would be cool if it was the 250 mount achievement reward when they add it, although sounds like its gonna be dropping from the corehound boss in the revamped ubrs possibly

Comment by DrMobian

I wonder why my last comment got thumbed down. I was trying to be informative, and my comment was correct, as there was no other comment saying the 3D view is the white stallion, until the Sticky comment showed up.

Comment by evan0719

it is my next "must get" so awesome

Comment by Frostascious989

It could be a possible new drop from Molten core that they'll add to either Ragnaros or Magmadar!

Comment by angelos84

Very Hawt Mount

Comment by remotettl

raise from firelands and depths of Molten Core! Raise and be ours :)
trully amazing Blizz added this mount !

Comment by Kaidelair

Ride you own The Beast!

Comment by dodo94

According to the 10 year anniversary announcement, this will be a reward from killing Ragnaros in the special 40-player Raid Finder version of Molten Core, along with an achievement.

Comment by Alfa

Earned through a special 10 year anniversary 40 man raid finder to do Molton Core. Kill Ragnaros to get an achievement and this beastly mount.

Comment by ThatCowHoofy

Update! The core hound mount has been announced as the reward for defeating Ragnaros in the 40 Man LFR version of Molten Core as part of Blizzard's 10 Year WoW celebration. You also get the Molten Corgi just for logging in, and there will be a new battleground that will bring back the classic battle of Tarren Mill vs. Southshore.

Here is the page!

Comment by Zeth1994

It seems that this mount will be given to players who participate in the 10-anniversery event according to http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/15107686

Comment by Pixlas

This has now been confirmed to be awarded for attending at the WoW's 10th Anniversary event, between the 17th and 30th of November 2014

Comment by finisher717

I thought the fall of Gnomeregan quest at the end of wrath was pretty cool when we got the transformation item Gnomeregan Pride also the Theramore scenario at the end of cata with its Theramore Tabard but this... this beats them all.

Comment by Runekeeper

i just hope the event (and the possibility to get the mount) will last more than the usual 1 month after/before the celebration date. also hope blizz will make other versions of this mount to buy/drop/win in some other way so that people who will miss the event will be still able to get a similar mount. Blizz can u hear me?

Comment by couchstyle

It's about time, my core pup has been compact car size for years now.

Comment by Isharne

Will this mount be that awesome as it seems?
Will our adventurers get this before the release of WoD?
All the questions and more, will be answered this thurday at Gamescom!
TO BE CONTINUED...

Comment by orionaegis7

Comment by cythevi

Would be great for hunters, having this mount in combo with the hunters- and battle pet :)

Comment by Hellse

So hardCORE!

Comment by SilverIceDragon

Ugh... if only I could name my Corehound mount, Charazard. then my Hunter would have all three Pokémon (I know the Corehound pet and companion don't look like the actual Pokémon, but they are fiery. LOL!)

Comment by Valkeyrie

Mount reward for completing the 40 man LFR version of Molten Core during the WoW's 10th Anniversary WoW's 10th Anniversary. Upon completion of the raid the player will be rewarded a helm for their armor type and Core Hound Chain which teaches the mount Core Hound. Ilevel 615 required to que for Molton Core LFR.

All helms will also come with +63 Fire Resistance. Long time players will remember resistance stats and how necessary they were to do the original Molten Core at content.

Cloth:Crown of Power
Leather:Crown of Woe
Mail:Crown of Destruction
Plate:Crown of Desolation

Other rewards for the WoW's 10th Anniversary include the Molten Corgi for logging in during the event (21 November, 2014 to 6 January, 2015).

Repeat runners of the Molten Core LFR have a chance to receive the Flames of Ragnaros enchant illusion and the battle pet Hatespark the Tiny. Source https://twitter.com/Muffinus/status/509823441088679936 These do not have a guaranteed drop rate so more than 2 runs may be required. The Flames of Ragnaros is reusable however.

Comment by MajorTom

Is the mount for everyone or drop% chance based?
Nevertheless gonna be hilarious watching everyone stampeding with those all over Draenor.

Comment by lilleturbo

Don't get confused when you can't find the mount in your bags. You will get the mount in a mail.

Comment by Olim

I can confirm that this event does require you to kill all of the bosses to spawn Ragnaros - it's a full MC run, and it's not split up into wings. Be prepared to be here for a while!

4 Tanks, 8 Healers, 28 DPS

We wiped more on trash than we did on bosses - You still need to be careful with the pulls, dispells, etc.

Comment by anthonyboii3469

Just to mention that you can mining while riding this mount.
Very useful for Draenor.

Comment by Alma

Acquiring this item gives a whole new meaning to "LOOT THE CORE HOUND!"

Comment by Toonz

Goes to your mail upon Ragnaros kill.

Gotta catch'em all!

Comment by cryptid420

Well after trying to get the mount since WoD release and not once was I able to get a group going or get the raid queue for it to come up..just sitting in queue for hours. Restarting it didn't help either. So I suppose I will be one of the few that blizzard screwed out of getting that mount by them STILL not fixing the raid/dungeon finder queue.

It is BS like this that I will be glad my game time is up in a month and will not be renewed.

Comment by SoCalWoWGal

The dates on this event were changed via Hotfix:

Bashiok:

The WoW Anniversary event ended a bit earlier than intended, so to make up for that lost time and any inconvenience we’re going to be re-enabling it for an additional week. The event--including the level 100 Molten Core raid--will be available again from January 6 at 10:00 a.m. PST until January 13 at 10:00 a.m. PST, for North American realms. You can see the updated event dates and times in the in-game calendar.
