Is it possible to get a mount of the opposite faction with the IC reason that it was smuggled by the Goblins ?
My char works as a merc for the Goblins and does some business with them too, so is it possible ?

Also, can Swift Razzashi Raptor be used IC-ly ?

Thanks for reading.
Along the same lines:

Can alliance druids and Shamans credibly get Wolves as mounts, or are they extremely orc-specific?

Can you RP a mechanostrider as an Goblin gizmo, not a goblin one?
To the best of my knowledge, mounts are restricted to the races of their faction specifically. Therefore, wolves are restricted to Orcs, Trolls, Blood Elves, Forsaken and Tauren, and this is much the same for mechanostriders.

However, I'm sure that these restrictions could be removed, and it is only a question of if they have or not. I'd say that if they have, purchase one, and use it, but don't flaunt it or make it integral to your story or character until you've had it fully approved by a GM.
Personally I believe that druids can have mounts of other races with their communing with nature mumbo-jumbo
If I may direct you here for a discussion that's gone on about mounts and races.

And just because you're a druid, or a hunter, or whatever, it does not mean you have the power to tame a beast as a mount. It's one thing training something as a companion, it's another thing training them to be a mount.

My grandfather has a horse he trained by himself, for instance. He knows horses from years of experience but it still took him ten years to tame a single skittish mare enough that she would let him saddle her without bucking. She still doesn't always do what we try to make her, and she won't let anyone but him ride her (Or they'll get bucked off). This is far different from well-behaved animals, of course, but it shows the effort needed for a person to gain the trust and obedience of a living creature.
