  It seems the GetCompanionInfo API will returns a different name for some mounts than GetSpellInfo API!

  I ran into this problem with my Bronze Drake from heroic stratholme - GetCompanionInfo returns it as "Bronze Drake Mount", when the correct name is just "Bronze Drake" :D

  I have implemented the workaround as suggested by Arture and its working very nicely, so it will be included in the next version (RC3).

  I just ran into the same problem. There is an easy workaround - buy a red gryphon :-P

  Programmatically, this can be solved by retrieving the spell name. This change in Necrosis.Mount_InitLeft puts the correct spell name in the drop-down menu:

  		local _, _, spellMount = GetCompanionInfo("MOUNT", i)
  		nameMount = GetSpellInfo(spellMount)
  		Monture[i] = nameMount
  

  Alas, the spell is still called by the wrong name. I don't understand the code well enough to provide a complete patch. With the change above, the tooltip still uses the wrong name, and the spell does not work. So the mapping through GetSpellInfo() must be applied somewhere else, too.

  I have to leave now and won't be able to look at it until tomorrow. Maybe I will find time then to complete the patch.

  UPDATE:
  I changed every invocation of GetCompanioninfo() to retrieve the spell number and call GetSpellInfo. This makes it work. I.e. the drop down menus have "lila", the toolstip does, and the "lila Greif" is conjured.

  The code should probably use a wrapper function that emulates GetCompanionInfo but returns the name retrieved with GetSpellInfo.

  We cannot fix this because the mount names are translated by Blizzard.

  For example, you have the Swift Purple Gryphon:
  -> http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=32292

  Necrosis uses the Blizzard code API to translate the name, like this:
  -> local name = GetSpellInfo(32292)

  result:
  - in English locale 'name' = "Swift Purple Gryphon"
  - in German locale 'name' = "Schneller purpurfarbener Greif"

  Sorry :/
