Astral Cloud Serpent
It is believed that Astral Cloud Serpents possess answers to some of life's greatest mysteries. Pity they can't talk.
🎯 How to get it
Reins of the Astral Cloud Serpent teach the Astral Cloud Serpent, a cloud serpent mount. This item rarely drops from the Cache of Pure Energy, which appears after Elegon is defeated in Normal and Heroic Mogu'shan Vaults.
Why hard? Rare drop (~1%).
