Blizzard is currently allowing you to help decide which new mount will be introduced in World of Warcraft. The mount is coming in early 2021 and will be free for anyone who already owns Shadowlands. You can vote for your favorite through a survey. A user has even created their own concepts.
Update from September 6: User Stiven has designed some concepts of his ideas of what the proposed mounts might look like:
There are also some ideas from reddit user Claina, who has worked with cardboard and paper:
What are these mounts? Blizzard has presented five new mounts, one of which will be added to the game. However, there are currently no images of the mounts, only some descriptions:
- Wandering Ancient – a “huge and leafy mount,” likely inspired by the Ancients of the Night Elves
- Sailing Spellbook – a flying, giant book
- Nerubian Slogger – one of the spider-like, wild Nerubians from Northrend, who were captured and tamed after the Helm of Domination was destroyed
- Curious Caterpillar – a caterpillar that has grown too large to pupate after gorging in Pandaria
- Slime Sabercat – evidently a variant of the well-known Sabercats of the Elves, only made of slime
All players will receive the mount that wins the vote directly in their collection. You simply need to own Shadowlands and have it activated on your account, and not commit murders as for other mounts in Shadowlands.
Blizzard, however, notes that the descriptions and names of the animals may still change.
Where can I vote? The survey for the mounts can be found in the official World of Warcraft forum. There you can vote on which mount you would like to see. The voting runs until Friday, September 18, at 11:59 PM German time.
Release of Shadowlands
When will WoW: Shadowlands be released? During gamescom 2020, Blizzard announced the release of the new expansion: Shadowlands will be released on October 27. So, until you can call the mount your own, you can already take a look at the new addon.
However, there will be plenty to do once Shadowlands is released. By early 2021, you will surely be able to visit the first raid Castle Nathria and actively work on choosing and upgrading your covenants.

Which of the mounts will you vote for?
