Necrolord Covenant: A Closer Look Inside the Might of Maldraxxus

Yes. You will create your own friend to carry you where you need to go. (There are many options though.)

*To clarify, it’s not a mount you collect. It’s a way of traveling so works like a mount as you travel around the Shadowlands. See my additional response below.

Sorry to spoil it a bit but, these aren’t traditional mounts you get and add to your collection. They are part of a transportation system you can use in Shadowlands. Some of the abominations will fight alongside you (not just serve as transport) as one of the Abomination Factory creations you can make. Some will carry you to your next destination (perhaps a foray into Bastion is in order? ). They all have their unique characteristics.

The more I’ve learned about Maldraxxus, the more I want to decide on a character to join the Necrolords. But, I’m with you in that I’ll likely have a character in each.

I will pass along word. I’m sure they’ll be watching for what people think of them, though it’s definitely something unique to the Covenant. Making it a regular mount could potentially take away from that uniqueness of being part of the Covenant.

I’ve seen an image of it with the top hat. I can attest it’s abominably adorable.
