Guide
The Emerald Hippogryph mount was rewarded from the retired Recruit-a-Friend system. The system itself still exists in-game, however, the rewards were changed and the Emerald Hippogryph mount was removed in Battle for Azeroth patch 8.2.5 when the Recruit-a-Friend system received a revamp.
To obtain the mount, players would have had to recruit a friend to purchase and play the World of Warcraft game prior to the patch 8.2.5.
That was done by opening the “Social” interface and clicking on the Recruit-a-Friend icon.

As shown in the above picture, you had to enter the email address of your friend which will invite your friend to purchase and download the game. Once the friend started playing, you received many benefits shown in the picture amongst which is the “In-Game mount” choice.
At this point you would be able to open additional window which will offer you to choose one reward from 5 mounts and 4 pets amongst which was the Emerald Hippogryph as shown below.
