This is the new winged lion mount that is available from the Blizzard Store. If it's anything like the Celestial Steed then it will cost $25 USD and people will either love or hate it.

Submitted the screenshot that Blizz threw up on their Facebook page when they released the pewview.

Commento di gotflashlol

Totally cooler than the sparkle pony. Perfect for the level 20 bank alt that doesn't care for the Crimson Deathcharger.

Commento di CrimsonTemplar

The idle animations are pretty much the same as a lion's, so I wonder if it growls a lot? Much better looking than sparkle pony.

Another question is I wonder what it shares a skeleton with? Sparkle pony shares one with Invincible, so it stands to reason that they'll fo the same with this one.

He looks almost like a Manticore.

Hidden in the patch notes you will see Celestial Steed how causes +20 regret.

Commento di 798676

I think the difference between +20 regret and +20 happiness is whether Blizzard decides to donate proceeds to the tsunami victims. I think this gesture is speculated by many, and it will make the difference on my purchase at least.

Also -- there are a ton of us out there that have more money than time. I'd rather spend my grinding time on epics that will actually help my character, and plop a few bucks down here and there for a cool cosmetic thing once in a while.

Commento di RoshiArgentDawn

Yes i bought the Celestial Steed. I never use it, and its way to Barbie imo. But. For some people, the collector inside them, make them buy these things at the Blizzard Store.

Im just glad to see, that my next mount purchase on the Blizzard Store, actually looks pretty neat. :)

As i can see, it use Horde flying wyvern animation for "Ground" idle, and Alliance gryphon "Flying" animation

Commento di 811412

People need to stop getting mad over pay mounts, it is like being mad a shirt is expensive/

Commento di 812406

I think its quite unfair how the Celestial Steed and the Winged Guardian are both Based on Alliance mounts,i mean a Horse,and a Lion,which is the Alliance Guild Mount.

I hope the next mount you can buy is a flying Kodo :<

Commento di W3r3w0lf

Now im gonna be more serious i hope this is something to do with charity and not just for there needs but on the other hand i love the model and i agree with Icewolf62 there should so be horde based ground/flying mounts

Commento di Jamesa12312

Hope this is available soon, they made this mount look pretty awesome. Especially compared to the sparkle pony lol.

Commento di spykemail

Am I really the only one who thinks this mount is incredibly ugly? Granted, I'm still going to buy it. But still...

TRL, see TRH for more info, same thing but now winged lion instead of winged horse!

Commento di Stormwaker

O.O...begins digging out Tier 5 Priest set...

Very pretty mount, regal and powerful. It'll be an...entertaining contrast to the twinks or low level characters riding around on it :3

Commento di Stormwaker

Otherwise many whiners will yell and point fingers.

Yeah...about that, they really don't need incentive to do that, they naturally do it over anything...

Commento di Mairin

Since a vanity pet version also showed up in the 4.2 PTR files it makes you wonder if they're holding off on this to release both at the same time.

Commento di 501674

Yes, it gets mailed to all your characters.

If you create a new character, it instantly shows up in your mail for that character as well.

Commento di chrisbowman

This is not just a lion nor is it alliance based... this is a sphinx, with the head of a lion and the body of an eagle, so it would make sence that these were intended to represent uldum in all its glory.

Commento di 261300

It's now available for purchase: http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100001495

Commento di 654830

It has a unique model and idle emotes/mountspecial. Haters gonna hate, but this mount is beautiful.

Commento di Alastoraa

The letter that you receive in the mail with the mount goes as follows,

I'm told you have been searching for a -truly- exotic mount.

Does an ancient Winged Guardian of the Titans sound exotic enough?

Enjoy!

Obtainable via the Blizzard Store for $25.00 USD.
This is the Celestial Steed of Cataclysm (The Celestial Steed is also on the Blizzard Store for $25.00 USD)
Neither of these mounts give 310% flying! you must buy this in game with gold or get it from an achievement!

Both of these mounts will be sent by mail to every character you make on the account on which you redeem the code, such as:
the Core Hound Pup (Core Hound Pup, which is given to everyone who uses any form of authenticator.)
Chilly the Penguin (Unhatched Mr. Chilly, given to all who bound their WoW accounts to Battle.net accounts.)
And the other Collector's Edition World Of Warcraft/Burning Crusade/Wrath Of The Lich King/Cataclysm.
It doesn't apear that the money made from either of these mounts is going to charity, such as the Pandaren Monk, or the Cenarion Hatchling

In my opinion, this mount is way too detailed and cool to be obtainable by cash. This mount could easily pass as a reward for some heroic raid meta achievement, or a very rare raid drop.
However, as this is from the blizzard store, it is likely that anyone who has this mount will be frowned upon by those who don't have it, just as the Celestial Steed was when it was first bought out.
As far as I know, there are no plans to re-skin it into an in-game mount, such as the Celestial Steed and Invincible's Reins (Invincible's Reins being the mount that drops from Lich king 25 man).
It is likely that before long, every man and his dog will have one, just like the Celestial Steed.
That being said, all the kiddies will be moving on to this, so if you have a Celestial Steed; it might be time that you will finally be able to use it again without looking like everyone else.

It's Winged Guardian Leviosa not Winged Guardian Lefiohsaa!

Commento di 578311

No offense but I think you're crazy. I got on my main, my rogue, first to view it but then immediately went to my spriest and in SF this thing is absolutely amazing! Was showing it to people and they were like, "Yeah it's pretty cool", then I went in SF and they were like "Oh wow that's freaking awesome!"

Commento di Xantholne

No one else has said it yet so...
ITS SO DAMN SEXY!

Commento di 578455

Haven't checked in shadowform yet, but if you are one of those tier collectors, this mount looks godly on a Tier 5 (Avatar) priest. Just submitted 2 screenshot of my now retired priest.

Seems there's a bunch of bored people downrating just because.

Commento di RoshiArgentDawn

Simply amazing mount. It is so beautiful, that im sure i wont regret i bought it, like i did 10 minutes after i bought the Celestial Steed.. c",)

Commento di 543619

In short, the Alliance mount collector could aqquire, or have aqquired the following "Horde" mounts.

A hawkstrider from MGT.
A raptor from the old ZG. (Unobtainable)
A raptor from the -New- Zg.
A raptor from Archaeology. (Its still a raptor)
A raptor from the TCG expansion War of the Elements via the Savage Raptor loot card.
A kodo from Brewfest.
A horse from Rivendare (Or whomever that kid is who replaced him)

We can get a panther, since the tiger was removed. And...A ram, which I think is the least favoured of all mounts. So it aint all that bad if we get another one, which we have to pay for as well. Yes we can obtain the Spectral Tiger, but I dislike the idea of having my legs broken by the local mafia for failing to pay them back the rather substantial purchase price. Peace,.

Commento di Nyteyes

Just got mine about a half hour ago and I can say I am actually impressed. It looks really good and I think its a mount that I will definitely use for a long time. ^_^

Commento di 714182

I've been excited for this mount since I seen the prototype from the PTR, and it's even better than I had hoped! It's large, and has an impressive wingspan. The animations are beautiful, as well. I'm also in love with the coloring, being all shades of purple with white detailing.

I've also submitted a screen shot as requested of this mount in Shadowform.

Commento di ParadoxFactor

All characters get it on the account it's purchased for. If you have two or more accounts, even if their under the same Battle.Net account, only the account you used it on gets it.

Commento di Fenrisvargen

Can you use this as a lvl 20 non fly'er to? :)

What I'm hearing is THIS MOUNT IS SO MAINSTREAM. I'M GOING TO GO LISTEN TO THE TAUREN CHIEFTAINS, YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF THEM.

Commento di Sixpac

All the bickering and personal taste aside, I'm wondering that no one has mentioned the most important fact yet:

"Teaches you how to summon this mount. This mount changes depending on your riding skill and location."

"And Location" means nothing else than that you can use it as a land mount, flying mount and (under)water mount! But the best thing is that you can fly directly into the water without being dismounted (for example Vashj'ir), and you can also mount up under water and fly through the water surface into the air. This makes the mount - along with the Celestial Steed, Invincible or Headless Horsemans Mount - unique.

Commento di Pocahuntess

This is, in my opinion, THE most beautiful mount in the game as of this date. A shame it's so easily obtainable. It's like going to the mall and seeing the whole parking lot full of Ferrari 599 GTO's. All red.

Commento di silkfire

All your characters will receive the mount in the mailbox - including future ones - so you only have to buy this mount once per account.

Got this mount today after debating about it.. Looks really nice on an awesome PC, but on some crappy gfx laptop, it doesn't. However, I've only seen about 4/5 people with this mount today in Stormwind, I'm pretty certain this is going to be a mount that I will continue to use a lot. I love it!

This mount looks actually really good=)

Commento di 839679

Quick question, how is a winged wolf more unrealistic than a lion? I realize that winged lions have spread more widely, but winged wolves have been sigils/crests about as long as winged lions have. And the animals themselves aren't that different, although lions are a bit longer, both have 4 legs, a head, shoulders, etc. Basically, no, you're wrong, winged wolves aren't more unrealistic, I demand a winged wolf mount from blizzard.

Commento di Sixpac

There seems to be a scaling issue/bug with this mount - sometimes it's nicely large when my tauren male sits on it, and some times the tauren seems to ride a bird. Strange.

Commento di 612580

I cannot seem to find the reference, but I have read that Manticores were conjured creatures, like chimeras. Considering this is a Titan guardian, I like to think that Norgannon created them himself.

And yes, I do indeed see the resemblance to Wyverns. In fact...

"The wyverns of the Warcraft universe share more features with Manticores, than Wyverns. The Manticore was a mythological beast, originally of Persian orgin, that have the body of a lion, was winged, and possessed a reptilian or scorpion's tail, and a human face with a shark-like maw, having three sets of sharp teeth." -- World of Warcraft Wiki

Perhaps these Guardians eventually went feral and suffered from the Curse of Flesh, deviating to Wyverns on one continent and Gryphons on the other?

That is the best idea I've heard on this topic thus far. Your use of lore and WoW history in tandem with imagination and logic has created genius so powerful that it makes my head hurt. You sir, are an evil mastermind.

And you guys thought Mufasa died from that stampede. This obviously proves he didn't.

Commento di Talboth

Hands down one of the best looking mounts they have made. The "sparkle pony" as we call it on our server was...well...let's just say it looks better as the Baradin Warden's mount.

If you are using Mounted addon, and you wish to make this mount compatible, do the following :

open the Data.lua file in /YourGameDirectory/Interfaces/Addons/Mounted/Libs/LibMounts-1.0

just after the line : = true, --Mottled Drake
add the line : = true, --Winged Guardian

Then, /reload ingame :)

Commento di 712374

Do you get an achievement when purchasing the mount?

I don't like the fact that achievements are bound to character and then you have to "spam" your guild chat and surronding players if you want to add an item which awards an achievement on multiple characters.

If you fly into the Underbelly in Dalaran you will get dismounted. You can then mount again and fly in certain areas while others (like the Circle of Wills) will dismount you.

If I ever made a male Belf Warlock, I would make a macro where he shouts "COME GUARDIAN!" whenever he summons this mount.

10 gold to anyone who gets the reference.

Because a lion isn't awesome enough give it wings and set it on fire.
