Pandaren and dragon turtle — A pandaren mage and her dragon turtle mount.

Turtle mounts are mounts that can be obtained by both the Alliance and Horde. Dragon turtles are used by the pandaren as their racial ground mounts.

Background

The pandaren have long sought mounts that embody their values: patience and strength. With a naturally armored hide, even gait (no matter how heavy the passenger), and the relaxed attitude that welcomes long journeys, the Dragon Turtle is perfect for the pandaren adventurer. Indigenous to mainland Pandaria, these fine steeds are easily outfitted with the essentials: maps, cushions, footstools, and brew-storage. Comfortable and hardy, the dragon turtle's slow, even stride will gently ease passengers into new parts of the world and/or a relaxing nap time.^[1]

Factional: Apprentice

These mounts can be purchased from Old Whitenose near the Eastern Earthshrine in Stormwind City or Turtlemaster Odai at the Pandaren Pavillion in the middle of the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar for 1, so long as your character has the Apprentice riding skill.

In early beta builds, having an Alliance premade pandaren buy a dragon turtle would make that mount available to a Horde-side character via account binding.
