Nerubian Cave Grub Mounts in the War Within
We have yet another interesting set of mounts coming with the next expansion, and while they're not... traditionally pretty, they sure are cool! The cave grubs are another ground mount in an expansion that is really focusing on flying, with the Dynamic Flight expansion of Dragonriding, so we really hope that rumored dynamic ground mount system comes in sooner rather than later. Could this be another burrowing mount perhaps?
