[Spoiler] Raptors and Pheonix

Unread post by Fael »

These were recently shown on the wowleaks forums:

This is the plain model

Mount version

Animated on YouTube

Previously shared in General forums was this model:

Armored version:

Bone raptors really make me wonder where they would even come from and how they would be obtained. Archeology? The fact that a plain model exists also has me wondering if that would become tameable or not. The armored phoenix has me really excited. The purple one itself could be a nice mount but the armored one looks really amazing to me. I had read that mounts would be part of the rewards coming from leveling up your guild reputation, maybe a pheonix would be worthy of that? If not perhaps it's another raid reward.

Ah looking around on those forums I found this quote:
In case anybody missed it, the Skeletal Raptor Mount was mentioned as an Archeology reward in one of the recent Alpha Press releases.
Lucky guess! :D

So they're actually obtainable, woo! I'm a huge raptor mount fan and as most of my toons are Alliance, I don't have all that much to choose from... Let's just hope those will be available to both factions.

Bone raptors I might get just to add to the mount collection. Giant, Purple Flying bird will probably become a drop from some boss on heroic mode. Now if it can be gotten in a regular heroic, like the Blue Proto Drake, I'd try to get it to add to the collection. But if it only drops from being in a Raid I'll pass.

I really look forward to seeing that dragon completed! I have a hunch though that I will still prefer it without armor, it's beautiful as it is.

I hope for some kind of bone Archaeopteryx as archeology flying mount. That'd make sense, and we've already got Pterrordax in Ungoro, so... they do exist in WoW universe.
