Spectral gryphons are ghostly gryphons that aid players in transporting them to different locations. First seen only in in the Eastern Plaguelands alongside William Kielar. It could be used to fly to the other towers, if the player's faction controls the Plaguewood Tower.

These creatures were later seen in Northrend as transportation in certain zones while dead because of the mountainous regions. Those areas are:

• Crystalsong Forest
• Icecrown
• Storm Peaks, which includes all the instances
• Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight, leaving this subzone will dismount you

Notes

• When you die in one of those zones you respawn as a ghost already mounted on spectral gryphons.
• If you go into those zones as a ghost, you will suddenly find yourself on a spectral gryphon.
• They also appear as mounts for the Forgotten Captains on the Forgotten Shore in Dragonblight.

Patch changes

• Hotfix (2009-04-16): "Players killed or ghosts that move into Crystalsong Forest should now be on a spectral gryphon to ride back to their body. ^[1]"
