Get Dominant Gladiator's Storm Dragon mount

Dominant Gladiator's Storm Dragon is an epic flying mount added to World of Warcraft in patch 7.0.3 of the Legion expansion. It is a massive armored storm dragon with golden-yellow scales, forged armor in a dark brass tone, and glowing blue lightning running along its spine. The model is related to the dragons of Stormheim and belongs to one of the most prestigious lines of PvP mounts in the game's history.

The mount was available only during Season 6 of Legion arena and was granted for earning the achievement Dominant Gladiator's Storm Dragon — the reward for obtaining the Gladiator title in that season. The mount can no longer be obtained: the season closed on March 20, 2018, and the dragon belongs to the exclusive seasonal rewards whose distribution has ended forever.

• Prestige status — every mount in the Storm Dragon line is proof that the player reached the top 0.5% of rated arena in their region. These dragons are instantly recognized by the community as a Gladiator reward
• Unique coloration — a yellow-gold variant with armor in cool tones. It is the only mount in the line with this palette; the other six variants are colored differently
• Collector's value — since the mount is no longer granted, owning it is permanently tied to the account and serves as a marker that you played actively and successfully in Season 6 of Legion
• Flying form and speed — a full flying mount that works in all zones of Azeroth where flight is enabled. It uses the Expert Riding skill
• Account-wide availability — like other epic mounts, once obtained it is added to the account collection and is available to all characters regardless of faction and class

As of the current Midnight expansion (2026), the mount is unavailable for obtaining. This is a non-returnable seasonal reward — Blizzard has officially confirmed that the mythic Storm Dragon line from Legion is not coming back in any form: not through a saddle vendor, not through a trading post event, and not through the Blizzard shop. If you were not a Gladiator in Season 6 of Legion between November 28, 2017 and March 20, 2018, the mount can no longer be obtained.

Not to be confused with Vicious mounts. Current PvP seasons run on the Vicious Saddle system, which lets you buy older PvP mounts from vendors in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. But this applies only to the Vicious War Steed and Vicious War Saber lines, not to the seasonal Gladiator dragons.

For those who want to understand how the mount was granted at the time:

Besides the mount itself, the same requirements granted the player the "Gladiator" title (for the duration of the season). Separately, there was the achievement Dominant Gladiator: Legion Season 6 for reaching the top 0.1% of the rating — it granted the permanent "Dominant Gladiator" title, but the mount for it was the very same one earned by a regular Gladiator.

After the season closed, the 7th and final season of Legion began, which granted a different dragon — Demonic Gladiator's Storm Dragon. That is why the Dominant variant could only be obtained strictly within these four months.

You can check whether you own the mount in the Mount Journal (default hotkey Shift + P) — the "Flying" section. If the mount was obtained during Season 6 of Legion, it remains in the collection forever and is available on all characters of the account.

As of now (2026, Midnight) the mount continues to work in all locations where flight is allowed. It is compatible with dynamic flight

• Verify authenticity when buying an account — if you are offered an account with the Dominant Gladiator's Storm Dragon, remember that the mount is bound to the account and does not transfer to another account or through trading. Any "sell the mount separately" scheme is a scam
• Do not expect a return — Blizzard traditionally does not bring back Gladiator seasonal rewards through any mechanic. Unlike achievements and meta-mounts that sometimes return via events, the Storm Dragon lines are fully closed
• If you really were a Gladiator that season — check the mount journal and, if the mount is missing, contact Blizzard support. There were rare cases where the reward did not arrive due to a bug with a character transfer or a faction change at the end of the season
• For new PvP players — look at the current arena seasons in Midnight. They run a similar reward scheme, and the mount for the Gladiator title in the current season will be just as prestigious in a few years
