New tarantula swimming animation

[Kalliope]

Title says it all. It's a new unique swimming animation for our little fuzzies. They're like octopi or squid....or something like that! If you have one, you should definitely check it out.

Really wonderful work, whoever's behind this addition! Such character!

[Ariamodasu]

Freaking yes! I've got Reckoning with Mits right now so as soon as I snag Benji tomorrow I'll check it out. Awesome news though, if they can improve the walking of few frames of aniamtion it'd be perfect.

[Vephriel]

I'm so glad they finally got a swim animation! It seems slightly different from the other spider swims, though that could just be due to the model difference.

(drat, was going to get an animation from WMV but I guess the swim isn't in there yet)

[Kalliope]

I must thank that druid for trying to run away from me in the water for doing so; I would not have noticed so quickly otherwise!

[Kalliope]

RAWRRRR! Hi Mom!



Hey Mom! Mom! Look! I can feign death too!

(I'm having way too much fun with this.)

[Vephriel]

Weee swimming!

[Kalliope]

Just keep swimmin'!

[Ryno]

Fuzzy spider: "Air... draining... learning to swim... has... faaaaaailed..."

[Tyuriwen]

FINALLY! The Spider swim and the Warp Stalker jump animation were the ones I was waiting for. Well done Blizz!

Warp Stalkers have a jump? How can you tell, no more Eyes of the Beast

[Vephriel]

I don't think they have a jump. I'm guessing Tyuriwen was just stating that those two were things she was looking forward to, and now at least one has been implemented.

[Ariamodasu]

Admittedly I got Reckoning into the Goblin slum water but AWWW it's adorable! He was just bounding along without a care in the world.

[Vephriel]

With the new WMV update the tarantulas have the swim animation in there too, so here's an animated gif:

Glee!

[TygerDarkstorm]

I like the new tarantula swim, so cute. ^_^
The bone spider one is super creepy though. O_O

[Qraljar]

That's a cool find! I was never really capable of keeping Tarantulas as pets. I always wanted them, cause I love spiders ( same with every other spider. I didn't try the Bonespiders yet though ). Despite my infatuation with any kind of spider, I just could not keep one as my pet for even 10 min.

Also @Tyger: Is that character a low-level? ( Looking at the gear ). Since I have been trying to find a low-level grey bonespider but I could only find level 77+ ones. (All other colors are for low-levels except for the Grey one).

If so, what spider is that? I've been looking around on sites the whole day.

Get thee hence to Silverpine Forest!

Except (I may be blind) I only find the ones with blue and green eyes x)

I meant precisely the one with grey skin and red eyes.

[Cialbi]

Oh, OK. There is a grey bone spider in Silverpine Forest (Skitterweb Matriarch), but it has purple eyes. The red-eyed bone spiders are only found in Icecrown and Zul'Drak, unfortunately.

On-topic: Can't help but wonder if Kalliope has drowned yet from swimming with Orpheus too much...

That's my baby rogue. There's a quest in Hillsbrad where you feed murlocs to that spider. As much as I think spiders, especially the bone ones, are creepy, I had fun with that quest.
