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]]. Bronze proto-drakes from the [[Bronze Dragonshrine]] are used as mounts by the [[Argent Crusade]] in [[Icecrown]].
