I am quite the mount collector in World of Warcraft. There are some mounts I have worked really hard to obtain. The Violet Proto-Drake is a great example, obtained from completing the “What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been” achievement. However, I have had that mount so long that its hardly worth talking about. Besides, I have acquired mounts with far more interesting requirements or perseverance.

Here are some of the rare or hard to get mounts I’ve obtained during my travels through Azeroth.
