World of Warcraft's Battle for Azeroth alpha is currently underway and dataminers are doing their darndest to unearth secrets about the expansion. So far, datamined secrets include Battle for Azeroth story itself. What's the next big unveil? Rideable frogs.

For more details, check out everything we know about World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.

WoW website Icy Veins, a renowned source of datamines, revealed they had datamined frog mounts in Battle for Azeroth. Icy Veins had previously datamined toads from the expansion, among other new creatures. This model is the same used for the frog mounts.

The toad mount hops as it runs, which is hopefully faster than it looks, while its special mount animation is both intriguing and disturbing, as you can see in the tweet above.

The amphibious ground mounts come in three "tints" – blue, green and yellow – and look very similar to the Gulp Frogs we've seen previously in WoW, except considerably more aggressive looking.
