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
The journal's 'Cost: 1' is one Vicious Saddle (the wiki's pages for the mount, the saddle and the vendor; the vendor's page, edited 2026, has the Vicious War Fox in his stock). This id is the Alliance mount (item 152870); the Horde one of the same name (item 152869) is a separate mount sold by Deathguard Netharian in Orgrimmar.
The fox was never a season's own reward: it was added to the saddle vendors in patch 7.3.5 (January 2018; wiki).
Saddles can only be earned while a rated PvP season is running: the wiki's page for Midnight Season 2 gives its start as 18 August 2026 and its end as ongoing, and names the Vicious Lightbloom Boar as the season's own mount. The wiki's wording for the saddle: one 'each time the Rated PvP progress 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. Points per win for the current season were not found; wow.gg's guide says progress is shared across the brackets and that wins below 1,000 rating add nothing.
The saddle binds when picked up (wiki), so the character that filled the bar is the one that visits the vendor; the mount item binds to the Warband (Wowhead's tooltip, wiki). The wiki has the mount at level 17 with Apprentice Riding since patch 9.0.1.
The coordinates are the wiki's for Necrolord Sipe; Wowhead's tooltip for him, read for the Vicious White Warsaber, has 76.8, 65.4 and 76.8, 65.6. Wowhead's tooltip and the wiki agree on this mount. wow.gg's guide is written for another vicious mount and does not name the fox, but the way to a saddle and the vendor are the same; wow.gg has no page for the fox itself (the address tried gave a 404).
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
