A raptor in the TCG

“A vicious raptor for a vicious Troll - a match made in heaven.”

Raptor mounts are the racial mounts of the troll race. Most are restricted to the Horde, though a number of neutral raptors have been added through the years.

Factional mounts: Apprentice

These mounts give a 60% speed increase on land. You can purchase these mounts from Zjolnir <Raptor Handler> in Sen'jin Village in Durotar so long as your character has riding skill of 75 (obtainable at level 20). If you are playing as any race other than a Troll, you will also need to have Exalted reputation with the Darkspear Trolls.

Factional mounts: Journeyman

These mounts give a 100% speed increase on land. You can purchase these mounts from Zjolnir <Raptor Handler> so long as your character has riding skill of 150 (obtainable at level 40), and are restricted similarly to the apprentice mounts above.

Original epic mounts

These used the old epic mount graphics and as of Patch 1.4 are no longer obtainable.
