Huge upgrade from the Yeti, however for some reason this doesn't feel like a reward for a mount collection achievement, especially not for a 500 one. Rather it feels like a pvp mount, or a mount you get from a random dungeon final boss. These big number achievements should get a special reward, this just feels too meh for the 500 achievement.

Regardless of what mount we get, a 500 mount achi seems incredibly low considering there are about 750 mounts obtainable now (not counting tcg/store)…before dragonflight releases hundreds more

Comment by Esani

That's it? a recolour of the otter mount for the massive achievement of obtaining 500 mounts?
What a shame...

Comment by Dehir

Damn it looks stupid. Yet its still halfway to 1k

Comment by jahedgecock

I don't know why everyone gets bent out of shape that they use a recolor for the achievement mount. Blizzard has done that since the 50 mount achievement.
I still remember logging on to ptr for burning crusade and flying around shattrath with the white drake and people loved it, the color made it unique.

Just wanted to add that I've used this on beta. I think it looks great.

Also this mount increases swim speed while mounted as well as is a ground mount and a flying mount.

So, here are a few things that I've found out in the past week or so and I thought I would share. First of all, you can see the new mount on the PTR! It doesn't look like it did back when that first video was submitted on here, so they're obviously still working on it. It now has a celestial look to it. I did a video for my friends and family and put it up on my channel if anyone wants to see it and all of the information that I've found out about it so far: https://youtu.be/6yX9L1k7jG4

If you currently have over 400 mounts and want to know if you have enough to count toward this mount, just copy a character over to the PTR that has the highest amount of mounts that count for it. If you don't have enough, it should tell you an approximation of how many ARE counting toward it. However, I don't think it was counting all of the mounts because in the live retail version, it showed a much higher number than what it showed on the PTR... so keep that in mind if you are only a few away on the PTR.

Please know that I am just an addicted collector and am only providing information for people. I am not promoting or bashing the mount in any way. If they change the mount again, though, I will definitely provide an update! I have MANY guildies, friends, and family members that are collecting mounts right now and ask me about the different mounts and achievements. Since we were at one time told there would not be another achievement for anything above 400, this mount and the achievement are obviously of interest to many of us.

Now that we are on the soulshape-y, blue/ethereal version that made it to live, I figured I'd just say: I love it! Maybe that is still an unpopular opinion, but hear me out.

It flies (bonus, not all of the other mount achievement mounts fly), it swims (extra bonus), it stands out, is unique and super duper cute. I think it's fitting for a 500 mount achievement.

I say this with no sarcasm, thanks Blizz.

In addition to being a flying mount, this gives +100% swim speed.

Comment by Jeolene

Flying AND swim speed increase? Don't care if it's a recolor or not, that's going right on my special mounts portion of my action bars.

Though, someone explain why it looks like it's dressed like a cute version of Deathwing. I would love to have a non-armored version.

Comment by kovee87

any idea why this hasnt popped for me? I have 520 mounts. I also went out the way to get another one to see if that would trigger it but it didnt :(

Comment by Magus2002

Fun fact! If you want to see the Otter's "Real color" scheme underneath the ghostly aura, take him to Uldum or Vale of Eternal (BfA phase) and fly underneath the Great Worm From Beyond, the spell effect makes his ghostliness dissapear :D

Comment by Grmu

Sadly it seems bugged with Glyph of Stars on my Druid. As soon as I mount up I loose my astral effect, but go a bit blue... shame as we would be matching!
All other mounts I keep my astral effect.

Comment by Hyrcyne

This mount is actually a decent reward from the Thanks for the Carry! achievement.

It can fly
It swims as fast as any other aquatic mounts (Reins of Poseidus, Pond Nettle, Darkwater Skate, etc.)
It appears to benefit from mount equipment (such as the Inflatable Mount Shoes)

The other three other mounts that could both fly and swim fast were Cryptic Aurelid, Deepstar Polyp and Shimmering Aurelid. However, these do not benefit from the mount equipment.

This is essentially your BiS traveling mount.

Fun fact! Using Scroll of Aeons whilst already riding Otterworldly Ottuk Carrier will remove the spectral/spirit form and use the mounts original color model. Dismounting and remounting will return the mount back to its spirit form.

Comment by alohaitsjeff

Received this the other day although simple armory says I’ve only collected 489 mounts.

Comment by mlharg

Anyone else bugged by the noises this mount makes? I really like it otherwise, but may not be able to use it due to the weird squeaks.

Comment by edellea

this mount is.. okay. considering it takes years to collect so many mounts i am a bit disappointed that once again we don't really get anything that unique. plenty of other otter mounts that are easy to get. i really wish that for such a big achievement we could get a mount with a more unique and rare model. it would be amazing to actually get a fully unique model for once instead of most of that going in the shop. all in all almost all of these achievement mount rewards have been disappointing for one reason or another and i hope we can eventually get at least 1 unique mount for all the long time we've spent grinding and farming. it would surely be a lot more motivating for everyone.

Comment by Nikihunt

Did anyone know how the rider becomes the color of the mount thanks.

Comment by soleilles

As a druid, I mount up in Moonkin Form, then remove the form and I turn blue just like the mount!
