The Great Fighting Bear is currently available in World of Warcraft for some as a gift – but time is of the essence, as the offer only lasts for a few weeks.
World of Warcraft has been trying to attract attention through other channels and collaborations since Dragonflight. Whether it’s special Twitch drops or rewards for Amazon Prime. There is now again a mount available for the latter that you can secure quite easily.
What kind of mount is this? The “Great Fighting Bear” is, as the name suggests, a large black bear with a saddle. The decorations are quite minimal – it is simply a classic bear repurposed as a mount.
While the appearance of the mount has clearly aged, as it has been in the game for a long time and was never updated – that’s precisely why some people love it, as it is one of the “classic” mounts.
How do you get the bear? To secure the bear, you must be a member of Amazon Prime Gaming (a paid service) and have linked your account to your Battle.net account. If you are an Amazon Prime customer, Prime Gaming is automatically included in your membership.
Afterwards, you can redeem the bear on the Prime Gaming page. You have until April 27 to do so.
Where does the mount come from? Actually, the bear was part of the “Warcraft Trading Card Game” – a collectible card game for World of Warcraft. As special rewards, there were “loot cards” in some booster packs. These contained a code, which could be exchanged for various rewards with an NPC in Booty Bay in World of Warcraft. The “Great Fighting Bear” was one such reward.
Since the card game has been discontinued for many years, the bear is no longer available through that route. However, since it was tradable, it occasionally appeared in the auction house – even though this became increasingly rare over the years.
Collectors should not miss out on this mount if the opportunity arises.
