I saw a player on this mount last night, and it actually looks much more colorful in real life than how it looks in the artwork.

I actually thought it was less colorful in game than the image above, so it wasn’t as bad. Must have been the zone I was in or the current weather.

Are they really supposed to be spelled “Carnaval”, like alluding to the word carnal because of Sanguine? Or is it a misspelling of carnival?

I'd venture that it's just to add a bit of Latin flair (Portuguese, Spanish, French have the word as "carnaval").

Yes, that makes sense of course, didn’t think of that.

I wish there was a guar in the apex tier as well. I personally dislike all the glow and effects, so wish there was a heavily argonian themed guar with less effects. Instead only half of the apex items are mounts.

@katanagirl1 @peregrinechemist It is alluding to the word carnal. Other cosmetics have referenced the carnaval before and suggest so.

The name of the catholic pre-lent festival (Carnaval in Brazil, aka Mardi Gras in the US) comes from "carne vale", latin for "farewell, flesh", as in "when we have to forego the pleasures of the flesh for the next 40 days, let's have a big send-off party."

The american word for funfair is derived from that.

Ha, so I wasn’t so far off.

Looks like the skimpy feathered costumes are a sneak peak for the post-festival goodies, lol.
