Guide
The Black Proto-Drake mount was one of the first mounts added into the game that required Glory achievement from raids. Namely, the mount was obtained back in Wrath of the Lich King expansion by completing the achievement Glory of the Raider (25 player) (old name: Heroic: Glory of the Raider). This mount had 310% flying speed which was very beneficial since most of the flying mounts in Wrath of the Lich King expansion had maximum flying speed of 280%.
The mount was added back in 2008 with the patch 3.0.3 during which time you could have obtained it. Once the Ulduar raid was released in patch 3.1.0, Black Proto-Drake was removed as a reward for the achievement.
Subsequently, when WoW Classic: Wrath of the Lich King was released in September 2022, the achievement and the mount were once again obtainable, however, since the release of the Ulduar raid on WoW Classic: Wrath of the Lich King in January 2023, once again the Black Proto-Drake was removed as a reward for the achievement.
It was very challenging to complete this achievement and with the added very limited time to obtain the mount, only about 0.4% World of Warcraft accounts have the Black Proto-Drake.
To complete Glory of the Raider (25 player) achievement for the Black Proto-Drake mount you had to complete total of 17 achievements (shown in the below image) in 3 different Wrath of the Lich King raids (Naxxramas, Eye of Eternity and Obsidian Sanctum).

After the players have completed all the above mentioned achievements the mount Black Proto-Drake was contained in a letter mailed to the players by Alexstrasza.
