Dragonhawks are vicious flying predators. They are swift and deft, able to crack bones and pierce hides with their mighty beaked jaws. They can be trained as aerial mounts and seem to have a particular affinity with high elves (and now blood elves), and are often trained by them. Majestic and magnificent creatures, dragonhawks and their elf riders, resplendent in lacquered dragonhide armor, make an impressive sight.
This large raptor could carry away a man - on its back, or in its talons. Its beak gleams wickedly, but its feathers are unremarkable but for hints of blue and red at the neck and wing. These large, hawk-like creatures are impressive. Its feathers are show brilliant streaks of color on its wings and tail, but its most remarkable feature is its head, which seems like a combination of eagle and dragon. Straight, colored horns that match its plumage sprout from the beast's head.
As their name implies, dragonhawks resemble a cross between a hawk and a dragon. They look much like large hawks with dragonlike heads and a few other draconic characteristics - long neck, sleek body and large wings. Dragonhawk plumage is brown with touches of blue and red.
Dragonhawks are able predators. They prefer diving attacks, snatching prey in their talons to devour at their leisure. When trained, they readily fight in tandem with a skilled rider.LoC 190APG 205

Burning Crusade
Dragonhawks are a new species of animal featured in the Burning Crusade expansion. They are seen mainly in Eversong Woods, but stronger dragonhawks are found in Tempest Keep, Zul'Aman, and Shadowmoon Valley.
Dragonhawks are very rare indeed, and they are most often seen in Eversong Woods, home of the blood elves. Beautiful creatures, dragonhawks are sought after by hunters from around the world, even though their stats rarely outshine those of more savage beasts.WoWTBCOSG 317

Flying Mount
In Patch 2.4.0, the Isle of Quel'Danas was opened, and dragonhawks are used as the main taxi from the island to the mainland, as well as for bombing runs in the Dead Scar and on the Dawnblade flotilla off the northern coast. In Patch 2.4.3, dragonhawks will also replace the bats at the Silvermoon City and Tranquillien flight paths - which was the original intention for the Quel'Thalas flight paths (around the time when BC was just released, guards would say that the Silvermoon flight master was tending to the dragonhawks), but in the interests of fairness they were given bats (as draenei did not receive their own special flight masters - they were given hippogryphs instead).
