World of Warcraft's most infamous and expensive mount might be coming back after having only been available for a limited time.

According to a datamine by Wowhead, a shop-file description mentions a "Brutosaur Comeback." The description doesn't specify which massive dinosaur Brutosaur mount it is, but it's likely not the original Mighty Caravan Brutosaur that was available during the game's Battle for Azeroth expansion to the tune of 5 million gold.

That leaves the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur, which was available during a three-month period for WoW's 20th anniversary, as the likely candidate. The mount cost $90, making it the most expensive single in-game-shop item in the MMORPG's history. Wowhead estimates Blizzard could have made around $15 million selling the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur, and if that's the case, it's hardly a surprise the developer would offer it up again for those who didn't bite the first time.

When the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur will return isn't clear at the moment, but it could make its way back to the in-game shop in time for WoW's 21st anniversary event that begins November 16. The datamine doesn't indicate what the mount might cost this time around, but it's hard to imagine it becoming cheaper, lest those who bought it the first time around feel like they've been tricked.

In other WoW micro (macro?) transaction news, another datamine indicates Blizzard will introduce a new premium currency for housing. Early access to player housing will arrive with the game's 11.2.7 patch this year for those who preorder the Midnight expansion, though it will be missing its Neighborhood events system. That will come with the Midnight pre-patch, expected to release towards the end of January 2026, according to a datamine.

When Midnight does arrive, it will bring major changes to WoW in more ways than one, including on the add-on front. Blizzard is looking to kill player-made mods that aid in combat, though other add-ons, like one that helps track achievements that will reward housing decorations, won't be affected.
