Turtle mounts

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.

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.

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, so long as your character has the Apprentice riding skill.

These mounts can be purchased from Old Whitenose and Turtlemaster Odai for, so long as your character has the Journeyman riding skill. They are reputation restricted like the apprentice mounts.

• Riding Turtle is gained by using a code from specific cards from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game or also obtained through the Garrison's Level 3 Fishing Shack.

• Sea Turtle (mount) is rarely fished up from Northrend and Cataclysm fishing pools.

• Arcadian War Turtle can be purchased from Xur'ios in Dalaran for.
• Vicious War Turtle can be purchased with a Vicious Saddle from Necrolord Sipe or Deathguard Netharian.

• 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.
