Currently, you can buy the Gold-Trimmed Trader Brutosaur again in World of Warcraft. The price for the mount is so steep that
a player has built an alternative.
What do I need to know about the mount? When the 20th anniversary of World of Warcraft began in October 2024, the developers treated themselves to a gift: a mount costing almost 80 euros, which is to be sold only for a limited time. Right from the start, it was clear: This luxury mount is a mega success for Blizzard.
Special features of the Gold-Trimmed Trader Brutosaur include two NPCs offering unique services. While one helper gives you mobile access to the auction house, the other acts as a useful postman – and all of this anywhere you are allowed to summon mounts. For comparable alternatives some WoW players have dug very deep into their gold pockets.
The mount is only available for purchase for a limited time. Currently, for example, until January 5, 2026.
The housing feature is really popular within the WoW community:
“Brutohausus”
What alternative has a player found? Wuqingji uploaded a picture of his new Brutosaurus
on Reddit. However, this is not the expensive mount, but a self-built home in the shape of a dinosaur. His comment on the picture: “If you can’t afford a Brutosaurus …”
How does the community react? With over 2,800 thumbs up and a lot of praise.
- LeJewBringer summarizes on Reddit succinctly: “Brutohausus.”
- Novirtue celebrates on Reddit the building: “The creativity of some people really impresses me.”
- Thoragh comments on Reddit: “If it’s cheaper to own a house in the shape of a Brutosaurus than a real Brutosaurus… then you know the economy is upside down.”
- No_Issue_8224 jokes on Reddit: “Something frightened this budget Brutosaur, and now it’s pretending to be a house.”
How do you like the Brutosaurus house? Let us know in the comments! By the way, WoW demon Cortyn recently sneaked through the neighborhood. One house in particular became especially impressive – and it was open. What Cortyn found there, you can read here: My neighbor in WoW has the best house of all
