There aren’t many other mounts that genuinely represent the epitome of evil like the bat mounts in WoW do. Roaming the Undercity in the darkest of the night to guide you into battle, bats are a well-suited partner to any Horde allegiant.
There aren’t many of these menacing mounts, but each one is worth the effort. (List will be updated for Shadowlands and Dragonflight soon).
Also, have you checked out our vendor mount list yet?
WITHERBARK DIREWING
“Only a handful of these giant bats remain in the Arathi Highlands, carefully raised by the Witherbark forest trolls who first brought them here.“
How to obtain
You can obtain this mount by defeating the NPC Nimar the slayer <Warband Leader> in the warfront phase of Arathi Highlands.
You will find him located just north of Witherbark Village. With only a 6% drop rate, you may find that you need to grind to get this mount.
BLOODTHIRSTY DREADWING
“The forsaken prefer the use of these bloodthirsty hunters, both for their speed as a mount, and the psychological effect they have on their enemies.“
How to obtain
To add this mount to your collection, you will need to purchase it from Provisioner Mukra <Service Medal Quartermaster> in the south of Dazar’alor. The mount will cost 750 Honorbound service medals that can be obtained by taking part in Warfronts and Battlefields.
This is a horde only mount, although you will receive the Alliance mount Priestess’ Moonsaber alongside the Bloodthirsty Dreadwing.
ARMORED BLOODWING
“This monstrous, flesh-eating bat is the undisputed ruler of the night skies.“
How to obtain
The mount was obtainable via the blizzard store. This is currently unavailable, but with a hopeful return as it’s one of the better-looking bat mounts in-game.
BLOODGORGED HUNTER
“If he wasn’t so full, you wouldn’t have caught him.“
How to obtain
The Bloodgorged Hunter is obtained by taking part in the three-player island expedition scenarios in Battle for Azeroth.
It is a drop rate reward, rather than a purchase, and Canopy Stalkers are the mob that drops them. Although there isn’t a drop rate percentage, they are relatively rare to obtain.
SLAYER’S FELBROKEN SHRIEKER
“You broke it, you bought it.”
How to obtain
This is a class-specific mount only available to Demon Hunters by completing Breaching the Tomb. This is made up of 15 specific quests available to all Demon Hunters.
UNDERCITY PLAGUEBAT
“One of the last of the giant bats to escape Undercity following the siege of Lordaeron.“
How to obtain
Unfortunately, this mount is no longer available. It was acquired by completing the pre-expansion quest chain for Battle of Azeroth.
After completion of this quest, you will receive both Undercity Plaguebat and Teldrassil Hippogryph.
