Ivory Grimlynx is a ground mount awarded for unlocking the Haranir allied race in the Midnight expansion. A pale cat with massive fangs and root-styled armor inspired by Harandar, it instantly stands out among other mounts in your collection. The mount is account-bound: once obtained, it can be used on all characters.

The mount cannot be purchased or obtained from drops. The only way is to complete the Harandar zone story campaign and unlock the Haranir as an allied race.
No additional quest chains, reputation, or keys are needed. Simply select Harandar on the map and begin the campaign.
The Harandar campaign consists of three chapters. Each must be completed sequentially — the next one unlocks after the previous is finished.
The first chapter contains roughly 15 quests. You are introduced to Harandar — underground fungal jungles built among the roots of the World Trees. Key locations: Har'athir, Har'mara, and Har'quai villages.
What to expect:
Key quests: "The Root Cause," "To Har'athir," "The Council Assembles," "Seeds of the Rift."
The second chapter also contains about 15 quests. The action moves to the Rift of Aln, where you fight alongside Shul'ka warriors.
What to expect:
Key quests: "To Sow the Seed," "The Madness Roots Deep," "Tell the People What You Have Seen."
The final chapter is the shortest — about 8 quests. The crisis building throughout the previous chapters erupts into open catastrophe. The unusual Lightbloom presence in the Eversong Forest turns out to be something far more dangerous.
What to expect:
Key quests: "The Frenzied March," "Rise of the Haranir," "Looming Shadows."
After completing all three chapters, head to Silvermoon City. Near the portal to Harandar, in the Gardens of Remembrance, you will find Elder Hagar.

He offers the quest "The War Beyond the Roots." The quest requires speaking with Lor'themar Theron in the Sanctum of Light. Upon completion you receive:
Completing all three chapters of the Harandar campaign takes approximately 3–4 hours at a normal pace. If you read all dialogues and complete side quests, it may take 5–6 hours. If you skip cutscenes and focus solely on the main chain, you can finish in 2.5–3 hours.
Unlike many mounts, there is no farming, no drop chance, and no weekly lockouts. Complete the campaign once — the mount is yours forever.
In addition to the Ivory Grimlynx, there are two other variants of this mount model:
| Mount | How to Obtain |
|---|---|
| Fierce Grimlynx | Hara'ti faction renown reward |
| Rootstalker Grimlynx | Drop from rare creatures in Harandar (daily reset) |
Game files also contain two unused color variants (blue and grey) that may appear in future updates.
Unlocking the allied race grants more than just the mount:
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| Thorn Bloom | AoE damage and healing (3-minute cooldown) |
| One With Nature | +5 Herbalism and +10 Finesse |
| Subterranean Predator | Increased XP from certain enemies |
| Rootwalking | Teleport to the Cradle, fast travel between World Trees |
| Lash Out | +1% critical damage and healing |
Harandar is one of three zones available for leveling from 83 to 88. If you plan to get the mount, choose this zone first — you'll combine leveling with race unlock.
Harandar side quests (15 additional chains) are not required for the race and mount unlock but grant extra XP and Hara'ti reputation.
After obtaining the mount, you can return to other zones (Zul'Aman, Arator's Pilgrimage) — they remain available.
If you want to collect all three grimlynx variants, start building Hara'ti renown alongside the campaign — world quests in Harandar award reputation with this faction.
