Swift Zhevra
A zhevra is a striped, unicorn-like, zebra-hybrid horse beast that are found in the Barrens. They are normally not hostile, but will defend themselves with kicks if attacked. Their name is likely derived from the real-life species, the zebra.
Zhevras were formerly hunted for their Zhevra Leather, used in previous patches for making fashionable hats. Currently, Zhevra Leather serves no purpose.

As a mount
Edit
Prior to April 27, 2010, it was possible to earn a zhevra mount, the [Swift Zhevra]. This mount was only available as a reward bonus of the Recruit-A-Friend system, once the recruit had bought World of Warcraft and 60 days of playtime. This reward bonus has since been surpassed by the X-53 Touring Rocket was originally the second special mount that players could earn only through the Recruit-A-Friend program. The X-53 was available to players who claimed their RAF reward between April 27, 2010 and July 15, 2012. It replaced the [Swift Zhevra] reward, and was then replaced by the [Heart of the Nightwing].
In Patch 5.4.1, the Recruit-A-Friend program was updated to include a choice of one mount from all current and previous Recruit-A-Friend mounts, and one companion from Asian-only promotions.
- The X-53 is one of only two flying mounts available in the game that allow for multiple passengers. It originally scaled to match the speed of your fastest owned mount, up to 310% flight speed.
- The X-53 is likely based off the X-52 rocket located in Area 52, Netherstorm.
- Using this mount players who don't have cold weather flying can get the explorer achievement with some help from a friend.
- Summoning this mount triggers the global cooldown, unlike most other mounts.
- As of Patch 4.0.1 the rocket can now be ridden as a ground mount in no fly zones at 100% ground speed.
- As the Patch 3.3.5 and 3.3.5a,(World of warcraft: wrath of the lich king expansion),It was the only two passengers flying mount..
