Achievement and quest rewards
[10-80B] 
Honor levels
Several unicorn mounts are rewarded by honor level milestone achievements.
Vicious mounts
Vicious mounts are obtained by winning rated PvP matches while at Combatant rank (1000 rating) or higher; progress is tracked via the Season Rewards bar in the Rated tab of the PvP interface. The current season's mount is earned by filling the progress bar once. A 
[Vicious Saddle] is earned for each additional time the bar is filled within the same season.
Necrolord Sipe in Stormwind City and Deathguard Netharian in Orgrimmar sell previous expansions' mounts at a cost of 1 each. Mounts from previous seasons within the current expansion cannot be purchased, making them temporarily unobtainable.
Patch changes
Patch 11.0.2 (2024-08-13): Raging Cinderbee added. 
Hotfix (2021-05-05): The rating requirement to earn progress for the seasonal vicious mount has been lowered to 1000 (was 1400). 
Patch 8.2.5 (2019-09-24): Stormpike Battle Ram and Frostwolf Snarler added. - Patch 8.1.0 (2018-12-11): With the start of Battle for Azeroth Season 2, [Vicious Saddles] can now be obtained by filling the Rated PvP progress bar more than once within a season.
- Patch 8.0.1 (2018-07-17):
- A vicious mount is now added with every PvP season. The current season's mount is obtained by filling a progress bar, and cannot be purchased with a Vicious Saddle until later.
- New seasonal achievements are no longer added. As a result, Vicious Saddles can only be obtained from the per-character "Veteran of the Alliance/Horde" achievements.
- Prestigious Bloodforged Courser added.
Patch 7.2.0 (2017-03-28): Vicious mounts are now account-wide. - Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): Six Prestigious Courser mounts added.
Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): Pale Thorngrazer and Breezestrider Stallion added. 
Patch 5.4.0 (2013-09-10): Vicious Saddle added. This item is earned through seasonal achievements (e.g. 
[Grievous Combatant]) and can be used to purchase any vicious mount.
- The achievements could not be completed multiple times on a single character, but since the mounts were account-bound, alt characters could be used to obtain additional saddles, purchase mounts, and then send the mounts to a main character.

Patch 4.2.0 (2011-06-28): Vicious War Steed and Vicious War Wolf added.
- These mounts were not account-wide, but were account-bound (could be sent to other characters on the same account). Presumably for this reason, they were tied to three different "Veteran of the Alliance/Horde" achievements, allowing multiple copies of them to be obtained.
