A gnome on a Swift Zhevra.
Swift Zhevra was originally the first special mount that players could earn only through the Recruit-A-Friend program. Prior to April 27, 2010, it was possible to earn this mount as a reward bonus of the Recruit-A-Friend system, once the recruit had bought World of Warcraft and 60 days of playtime. This reward bonus was then replaced by the 
[X-53 Touring Rocket].
In patch 5.4.1, the Recruit-A-Friend program was updated to include a choice of one mount from all current and previous Recruit-A-Friend mounts, and one companion from Asian-only promotions.
Mount Journal[]
Zhevras are rarely used as mounts in Azeroth due to their stubborn nature and tendency to bite.
Notes[]
The mount was mailed in-game to the selected character by Master Handler Sylvester. With the item is a rather unique letter:

Patch changes[]
Patch 8.2.5 (2019-09-24): No longer obtainable. - Patch 5.4.1 (2013-10-29): Available once again.
- Hotfix (2010-04-27): Time is running out for those who wish to claim their Zhevra, as the launch of the X-53 Touring Rocket is now scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, April 27! If you’ve fulfilled all of the Recruit-A-Friend requirements necessary to claim a mount now but choose not to claim the Zhevra, you will be able to claim the X-53 Touring Rocket instead once it launches. Sounds like they’re firing it up for a final test run now...
- Patch 2.4.3 (2008-07-15): Added.
