This one has been in the game files for a while -- the screenshot above has been with MMO Champion (http://www.mmo-champion.com/) since November of last year -- but the latest PTR Build reveals that the Arena (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/arena/) Season 5 (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/season-5/) reward mount is a Frost Wyrm (http://www.wowwiki.com/Frost_wyrm). Just as the otherworldly Armored Nether Drakes were representative of Outlands, the Deadly Gladiator's Frost Wyrm is the perfect symbol of Northrend. As with past seasons, the mount is expected to be a 310% speed flyer awarded to the upper 0.5% of Arena participants in each of the three brackets.
With Arena Season 5 expected to close soon (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/09/arena-season-5-to-close-soon/), perhaps as early as the release of Ulduar (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/ulduar/), players now have a small window in which to earn that Gladiator (http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=2091) title and what might arguably be the coolest-looking mount in the game. In mount-related news, the Coralshell Turtle was renamed to Sea Turtle, whose tooltip reveals it as the first aquatic mount in the game: "This mount can't move very quickly on land, but she's a great swimmer."
