||
| − | The proto-dragons were sort of the early version before [[dragons]] really evolved into the sentient, beautiful majestic creatures that they are knwon today.<ref>http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcast/archive/episode3.xml</ref> The [[Vrykul]] use them as flying mounts in the [[Howling Fjord]] and other parts of Northrend, and can be seen doing so in their constant siege of [[Valgarde]]. Wild proto-drakes can be seen in areas such as [[Storm Peaks]] and [[Sholazar Basin]] and are also used as mounts by the [[Argent Crusade]] in [[Icecrown]]. |
