mounts (WoW)  

Definition

A Mount is an animal that a player can ride (or machine if the player is a Gnome or an Engineer) that increases movement speed during travel. Warlocks and Paladins can summon their mounts with special spells. Also, in the Outlands, flying mounts are available for purchase after reaching level 70. There are a few options/requirements for acquiring a mount. A player can either learn the riding skill and purchase the mounts that correspond to that skill level, buy PvP Mounts using Marks of Honor, or try to acquire a mount from such instances as Stratholme, Zul'Gurub, Zul'Aman, Tempest Keep, Magisters' Terrace, Sethekk Halls, and Karazhan (these mounts, however, have an extremely low drop rate).
