Blizzard Entertainment has announced the release of a new mount for its popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft, the monstrous two-headed Iron Skyreaver.

World of Warcraft is largely considered the best MMORPG ever made, both in terms of content and PvP balance, and its sixth expansion Warlords of Draenor is looming on the horizon.

A trailer has also been launched, showing the two-headed dragon-like creature flying high in the skies of Azeroth, with a fitting atmospheric narration.

The Blizzard announcement sheds some light on the monster's origins. Brutal Iron Horde beastmasters bred the fearsome animal for war, girded it in black steel and smoldering flame, then strapped double afterburners on its back.

The Iron Skyreaver is available on the in-game shop, and once purchased, it will become available to all existing characters on the respective Battle.net account, as well as to all future characters.
