Blizzard seem to have plenty of imagination when it comes to creature designs but not so much when it comes to creature names.

Adding the mantid tank model. Of course we currently have no idea if they're beasts like the Silithid Colossi they resemble, or humanoids like the regular mantids. But they look pretty beastly.

Black, Blue, Green and Red:

hopefully they will make tha tamable list, but would they be added to an exsisting family or would they be their own family?

Is it wierd that I think the black one is adorable? Awww...soo cute with your massive death pincers and beedy eyes! And thank all you guys for posting this stuff and finding it! I'm so excited I'm going to make a panda hunter for sure!

I just found some other grey stone Quilin in Kun Lai but they're elementals. They seem to be some sort of stone guardians that come to life, because they're standing perfectly still.

So some stone ones are beasts yet some are elementals?. :/

I admit that's my favourite too. The texture on it is lovely. But these pictures really don't convey how beautiful these guys are viewed animated in WMV. They really are awesome. The art team has done an amazing job once again. (Note: there are wings on their backs (just folded wings on the back of their heads, not flappy or sticky-outy wings) but WMV doesn't seem to render them properly yet, resulting in most of them just being white. I had to angle these shots so they don't show any of it.)

That's beta. In Cata beta there was a scorpid that was listed as humanoid for most of the beta. It was months before it was fixed.

So how do we know which one is the correct one? XD

How do you get WMV to show the beta models? I have beta and stuff.

I was assuming that ones that were previously elementals were changed to become beasts, which would be a good sign of intent. But maybe I got that wrong. Hopefully 'cookie can confirm.

As for WMV, they released a test build that works for MoP finally. It seems to work fine for me and be stable. It's the latest one at the top at: http://code.google.com/p/wowmodelviewer/downloads/list

Then you just have to reset your options so it asks you for which WoW folder you want it to read, and it offers MoP as an option.

Thanks

Miacoda · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 11:21 pm

OH! Ialso, they have their own sounds.

Before they just sounded like cats. Now, I'd say they sound more like... a mix between a tiger and a bulldog. XD

cowmuflage · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 11:36 pm

Ohh that sounds cool. Allso have you seen any other mantid colours? I have not left the jade forest yet. XD

Miacoda · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 11:38 pm

No mantid models are in the game yet. They're still using placeholders for them.

cowmuflage · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 11:42 pm

Ah I see. Well thanks anyway

. Are you on the lost isles? maybe we could hang out XD

Miacoda · **Posted:** Fri Apr 13, 2012 12:42 am

Yup. In both Petopian guilds. Mostly found on Alliance though.

BTW, I told Wain this and it's in the Beast List thread, but for those who don't know we have an unused crab skin in beta.

It doesn't have a diet, but hopefully it will eventually because it's absolutely gorgeous! <3

cowmuflage · **Posted:** Fri Apr 13, 2012 1:07 am

ooh that is pretty. Have to now check if I have that in my crab file. Can't miss out a skin when I do babies XD
