The contents may surprise you... but not really. Either the spectral gryphon or wyvern... likely both depending on your faction, like the Moonkin Egg.

I hope it's like the pet's from the toy's and we can pick what one we want cause as alliance the gryphon is just so old now. i want a wyvern mount.

Well, Now we know how the mounts became all spectral ghosts.

Someone shoved them into a box without air holes, a tiny one at that, and mailed it.

So after riding the spectral gryphon back to my body since WOTLK, it becomes a mount finally. OH BUT WAIT: I'm Horde. So now suddenly a bunch of wyverns died and I can ride those while I'm alive. Well then, I dare say I have been played.

Schrodinger, you got a package in the mail... But I don't know who would send you a dead gryphon...

Edit: I don't know why this is getting beat down on so much. If it needs an explanation, it is in reference to a web comic. And it's valid, I mean, that is clearly a dead gryphon...

Blizzard sent a cryptic email to many of the fansites today, with pictures of the Spectral Gryphon and Spectral Wind Rider (supposedly obtainable from Spectral Mount Crate). The email text reads, "Soon we fly together again…"**

The speculation is running rampant now, with people thinking the mounts could be:
1) Purchasable from the Blizzard Store.
2) Rewards for new mount achievements (i.e., 125 or 150 mounts).
3) Rewards from the revamped Scroll of Resurrection promotion.
4) Part of the Mists of Pandaria pre-launch patch event.
5) Mounts usable in the Mists of Pandaria beta.

Personally, I think it's #3. The email text suggests that players will have the opportunity to do something they had previously done (play with a person that had left the game but has now returned). The "spectral" nature of the mounts matches the "resurrection" theme of the promotion (your friend was a ghost to WoW but you've brought him/her back). Plus, I'm sure Blizz is trying to ramp up player retention/recruitment after the continuous loss of subscriptions over the last 12 months.

You recieve this mount from sending a friend a Scroll of Resurrection prior to the announcement of the mount being available. You can redeem the mount on your character on battle.net, and you must be offline to pick the character. (All characters must be offline)

The letter that comes with your mount is as follows:

To: (Your name)
From: Your favorite spirit healer

CONTENTS OF CRATE: One (1) Spectral Mount

WARNING: DO NOT PLUG AIRHOLES

Actually, never mind. It's already dead.
