Drake mounts are epic flying mounts available by 3 ways. Both Alliance and Horde can acquire these mounts.
Drakes as loot
The majority of drake mounts are available as loot items from various dungeons and raids.
Culling of Stratholme
The Bronze Drake is a 100% drop from Infinite Corruptor in the Culling of Stratholme on heroic mode.
Obsidian Sanctum
The Black Drake drops from Sartharion in the 10-man version of the Obsidian Sanctum and the Twilight Drake in the 25-man version. These drakes will only drop if all three of Sartharion's Twilight Drake lieutenants are still alive when you engage him.
The Eye of Eternity
The Azure Drake can be found inside Alexstrasza's Gift after defeating Malygos inside The Eye of Eternity in the 10-man or 25-man versions. Previously the Blue Drake dropped in the 10-man version, but has since been moved to The Oculus to make the instance more appealing. There is no difference in drop rate between 10 and 25-man versions of the instance.
The Oculus
The Blue Drake can be found inside the [Cache of the Ley-Guardian] after defeating Ley-Guardian Eregos inside The Oculus. It was previously dropped in the 10-man version of The Eye of Eternity but was moved to The Oculus in 3.3.2. to encourage players to complete the instance instead of abandoning it.
- Note: The Cache will only drop if the instance was randomly selected using the Dungeon Finder, and the Drake only has about a 5% drop rate. If a Drake mount drops it will not be rolled for.
Onyxia's Lair
The Onyxian Drake is an extremely fast (310%) flying mount that drops from Onyxia. The drop rate is incredibly low.
