== When used unmounted ==
For the unmounted or shapeshifted player character, this animation is not supported, hence the character will default to a generic stand-still position, even while running. In cat form, this will even cause the cat to leave its crouching position and stand without bent legs. It also works on taxi mounts (at least on the Horde windriders) causing them to do a sort of air-wheelie, which is actually the default 'hovering' animation of windriders.
'''Update:''' As of a recent patch (2.2.3 or earlier) you can no longer cast the command while running unmounted.

/mountspecial is a slash command causing your mount or druid Flight Form to perform a special stunt, depending on the mount. For ground mounts, this animation can be triggered while standing and pressing the space bar, but for flying mounts, only the slash command can be used. As of Patch 2.2, this function cannot be used anymore while moving (excluding taxi mounts, which still use their 'hovering' animation then).

List of stunts per mount type

  • Horses, Rams and Talbuks: rear up
  • Sabers: roar
  • Kodos: throw the head from side to side with a roar
  • Wyvern: roar
  • Nether Drake: rear up
  • Flight Forms: perform a loop

Note: though some animations imply the mount makes a noise - for example, "roars" - only a few make a noise.
