Cataclysm Beta: Underwater Mount – Abyssal Manta
Here is a first look at an underwater mount in Cataclysm. The 280% speed Abyssal Manta is obtained in the underwater zone through a quest in Vashj’ir. After completing the quest, The Abyssal Ride, you will be rewarded with a Subdued Abyssal Manta. It looks like everyone will at least have a freebie underwater mount through this quest. The model is also similar to the Nether Ray’s in Burning Crusade, but might also be a placeholder till they update it with a new one. Will Blizzard add an underwater mount as a new gold sink? There is a possibility… Also as a side note, while in the underwater zone Vashj’ir, you will be granted a buff called Sea Legs, which gives you a movement buff of 60% and underwater breathing. So having the Sea Turtle mount from fishing might not be too useful, but you never know.
