Sold by Necrolord Sipe, the Combatant Mount Quartermaster in Old Town, Stormwind City, for 1 Vicious Saddle. A saddle is earned in rated PvP while a season is running: wins at 1,000 rating (Combatant) or more fill the Season Rewards bar; the first full bar of a season gives that season's own vicious mount, and every further full bar in the same season gives a Vicious Saddle.

Notes and sources
This is the Alliance mount (item 187681), sold by Necrolord Sipe in Old Town, Stormwind City (76.8, 65.6 by the wiki), for one Vicious Saddle. The Horde one of the same name (item 187680) is a separate mount sold by Deathguard Netharian in the Valley of Strength, Orgrimmar.
The journal and Wowhead's tooltip still give the original source, the Shadowlands Season 3 reward. That season is long over, but the wiki's pages for the mount, for the Vicious Saddle and for Necrolord Sipe (all edited in 2026) list it among the mounts sold for one saddle, so it can still be earned.
Saddles can only be earned while a rated PvP season is running. Midnight Season 2 began on 18 August 2026 and the wiki's page (last edited 2026) lists it as ongoing; its own mount is the Vicious Lightbloom Boar (the Alliance one). The wiki's season page lists the rated modes with season achievements:
- 3v3 Arena
- Solo Shuffle
- Battleground Blitz
The win counts are a guide's, not Blizzard's: wow.gg's page for the Vicious War Ram, which describes the same bar, saddle and vendor but does not name this mount; a search found no guide written for the Vicious War Croaker. The guide gives no figure for Solo Shuffle or Blitz. The bar on the Rated tab of the PvP window shows the real progress.
The saddle binds when picked up (wiki), so it goes to the character that fills the bar, and this vendor and this item are Alliance ones, so that has to be an Alliance character. The item asks for level 10 (wiki).
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
