Trolls would get wyverns. I'd say give Orcs some sort of mechanical mount, because they are related to the Goblins. Maybe a suited up wyvern?
What? No, no, no! Looking back at Warcraft 3 you can see that either Orcs and Trolls should share the wyvern and undead get bats, or either Orcs get wyverns, Trolls get bats, and undead get ? I would say Frost Wyrm, but that's too OP.

I was wondering what people thought about having racial flying mounts instead of just faction.
It should've been this way from the beginning of TBC, Blizz just took the easy way out and only made one type for each faction. And even the Hippogryphs they *did* implement were half-assed considering the price (you can't tell my they don't walk when they have legs... what a cop-out).
I disagree, however, with some of the choices:
Humans & Dwarves should share gryphons, only because the races are so close.
Gnomes should have planes like those featured in the Borean Tundra / Sholazar Basin.
Lastly:
Trolls- Pterrordax
Although there's really no in-game evidence it's what they'd use from what I know, they ride raptors, so a dino flying mount makes just as much sense. Plus, having a pterrordax as a mount would be pimp.

Blizzard didn't give hippogryphs a walking animation because hippogryphs hover over the ground instead of walking. A blue post on the official forums confirmed that. Don't accuse Blizzard of being lazy when they are running the largest game ever with more subscribers than many small countries have citizens.
The hippogryphs hover over the ground instead of walking in Azshara, that's true. But in pre-TBC,
gryphons didn't walk either
(as seen in The Hinterlands).
Just because a blue post says "hippogryphs don't walk, they hover" doesn't make it any less of a cop-out. Keep reading that same post and you'll see plenty of posts from other players that point out the same thing.

They just removed the racial requirements for mounts. Why would they bring them back?

I want my Dragonhawk, and I don't want to farm all those rare drop mounts to get it =(
Props to OP, although I do agree that Trolls should be riding bats.
