The original quests to gain the paladin charger, warlock dreadsteed, and druid's swift flight form are all still in-game and reward feats of strength if they are completed. The aforementioned quests are not required to learn the ability, however, and are on the class trainers at the level listed in the table. Druid and paladin abilities are slightly different based on race and faction.
For example, the Alliance charger is blue and golden, while the Horde version is red and bronze. Similarly, night elf druids are black in flight form, while tauren are tan. With Cataclysm , it seems that tauren and draenei paladins will not be getting chargers, but special types of Kodo and Elekk mounts, respectively. PvP mounts can be obtained by exchanging honor points or other world PvP currency.
For Arena rewards, see the Arena section. As a reward for gaining high reputation standing with various factions, players can purchase mounts. Such high reputation is a function of large quantities of time. Rarely, specific creatures will drop a mount as a reward.
If the mount drops, only one mount will appear per kill, no matter the size of the party or raid killing the creature. Also, mounts may rarely be inside other containers rewarded for doing other objectives. A guaranteed drop mount will result in one mount being awarded upon killing the specified creature under the condition listed, regardless of the size of the party or raid.
For mounts rewarded such that everyone who completes the achievement gets the mount, see the " Achievements " section. There is no direct achievement for killing the Time-Lost Proto-Drake; the hard part is actually finding the drake alive. Mounts can also be created by players via professions.

There are several disguises and time-limited items that are available during holidays. Disguises simply turn the player's mount into something "more festive" like a kodo or a reindeer but do not otherwise affect mount mechanics.
Time-limited items exist only during the duration of the holiday itself. Previously, time-limited items had a set time such as seven or 14 days, but were changed to be directly tied to the holiday.

There were also zones which should have existed lore-wise, but were empty and unfinished. With the release of Cataclysm , rebuilding the continents is precisely what zone developers did, allowing players to finally see the world of Azeroth from above. Vanity mounts only exist to put the player on a mount. They confer generally no bonuses to movement speed, and thus require no riding skill.
