Nightsaber

Nightsabers are the traditional mounts of the Sentinels. Among the largest felines in the known world, nightsabers can easily rival a horse in size. In combat, a nightsaber is a deadly foe, much like a Knight's warhorse. Highly trained, these animals are capable of leaping from the shadows to rend foes with fangs and razor-sharp claws. Before they were domesticated by the Sentinel Army and trained as mounts, Kalimdor's savage nightsabers were considered to be among the continent's most vicious inhabitants. While many of these grand predatory beasts still prowl the dusky shores and forests of the night elves' homeland, the finest pedigrees of the species, recognized by their superior swiftness and agility, now serve a more practical purpose for those skilled enough to ride them.
