Sold by Necrolord Sipe, the Combatant Mount Quartermaster in Old Town, Stormwind City, for 1 Vicious Saddle. A saddle is earned in rated PvP: wins at 1,000 rating 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 142234); the Horde Vicious War Bear, a separate mount of the same name (item 142235), is sold by Deathguard Netharian in Orgrimmar. The journal's 'Cost: 1' is one Vicious Saddle (the wiki's pages for the mount, the saddle and the vendor). The vendor is an Alliance one, so the saddle has to be spent by an Alliance character; the mount item binds to the Warband (wiki, Wowhead tooltip).
Coordinates: the wiki's 76.8, 65.6; Wowhead's tooltip has 76.8, 65.4 and 76.8, 65.6.
Saddles can only be earned while a rated PvP season is running: the wiki's page for Midnight Season 2 (edited 2026) gives its start as 18 August 2026 and its end as ongoing; its own mount is the Vicious Lightbloom Boar. The wiki's wording for the saddle: one each time the Rated PvP bar is 'filled to 100% after the current seasonal mount has been earned'; since patch 8.0.1 a character can earn several in a season. The rating floor was lowered from 1,400 to 1,000 by a hotfix in 2021 (wiki).
The guide gives no win count for Solo Shuffle or Battleground Blitz, and the points a win pays were not found written by Blizzard; the bar on the Rated tab of the PvP window shows the progress. The guide linked is written for the Vicious War Ram and does not name the bear, but the way to a saddle and the vendor are the same.
Added in patch 7.2.0; asks for level 17 and Apprentice Riding (wiki). No Wowhead page was opened for this mount, only the tooltip.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
