Screenshots of The Burning Crusade’s Talbuk mount

The talbuk!

The WoW forums can really surprise you with the amount of extra information you can get on new content. WoW Insider showed off a forum post and screenshots about one of the new mounts you can acquire from the expansion, called the Talbuk.

The Talbuk looks like a cross between Baron Rivendare’s rare deathcharger mount and a two-horned mountain goat, but you do have to admit that it looks very cool. It seems to be listed as a neutral faction mount, which means that everyone should be able to earn the rep needed for it. Of course, it also means you’re going to need the appropriate all-purpose riding skill and the requisite exalted faction to get it.

Blizzard really knows how to get us playing over and over again. More grinding for those people who want to be special, you could say, but it’s a lot nicer to look at than a plain old horse.

In any case, we’ve picked up screenshots from the read link for those who want to get a sampling of this new mount in its many colors. You’ll also note that Aofto, the guy in the pictures took a potion or something to change into a tauren for some of the screens. Poor Talbuk go bye-bye when the bull rides on him… back-breaking tauren. Sigh…

YAY! New mount! - Image 1 YAY! New mount! - Image 2 OOOOH...
