Mount

While we've been admiring the Startouched Furline (12-month subscription mount) and the Coldflame Tempest (anniversary mount), Blizzard has rolled out another shiny new mount in World of Warcraft (retail): the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur.

Collecting awesome mounts is most of the point of World of Warcraft -- after all, what's the point of acquiring epic gear or saving Azeroth yet again if you can't then ride off into the sunset atop a stylish steed?

We're about a month into The War Within, so let's take a look at some of the new mounts you can collect for riding around Khaz Algar in style with minimal effort.

The X-45 Heartbreaker, formerly known as "Big Love Rocket," is one of the rarest mounts in World of Warcraft — but this time, we might finally have a realistic chance of obtaining it.

It feels like just six weeks ago Dunegorger Kraulok was stomping around the sands of Vol'dun and terrorizing poor innocent Mollie the Alpaca, but now he's back, and it's your chance to go rescue her!

Meet Sarge, a new mouse mount in WoW that's the latest promotional mount available to World of Warcraft players who partake in the new Hearthstone Mercenaries mode This is only the third cross-promotion between these two games, and it's been over five years since the Lady Liadrin portrait became available in Hearthstone, and even longer since the Hearthsteed, the very first cross-promo reward.

Ah, quality of life.

It's a giant walking tree whose leaves will change depending on the season — and it's also the newest World of Warcraft mount.

The Snowstorm mount is a gorgeous-looking bear made in celebration of Blizzard's 30th Anniversary.

Sometimes, amidst the unfortunate events of life, we do get a few nice surprises.
