Cryptic Aurelid

one of the very few aquatic mounts that can also fly. this means you can go straight from swimming to flight without having to change mounts!

When in Steady Flight mode, this is a flying/ground/aquatic mount (with the standard 135% underwater swimspeed that all aquatic mounts have; non-aquatic mounts have a swimspeed of 67%, by the way).

However, its steady flight speed is LOWER than a normal mount (420% compared to 530%)

This is exactly the same as other flying/ground/aquatic mounts like the Underlight Corrupted Behemoth, Kah, Legend of the Deep, the Depthstalker (and, I assume, the other two aurelid mounts and the Wonderous Wavewhisker shop mount, which I do not own and have not tested).

When Skyriding (i.e. when you have Steady Flight toggled off) you lose your swimspeed altogether (it reverts to the standard 67% underwater speed) but the mount has perfectly normal Skyriding speeds (so, to conclude; when in the air it's slower than normal at Steady Flight but normal at Skyriding)

Ground speed is the normal 210% in both flight modes.

We really need a red one.

You know, because it's faster.
