Potentially tameable beast skins - MoP Edition

Wain · **Posted:** Sun Apr 01, 2012 12:25 am

This is a checklist of new skins and models appearing in MoP that are probably the best candidates for becoming tameable at some point (pure guesswork at this stage!). I'll add more families if it starts to look like they might become tameable and removes ones if they start to look like they won't. I've kept it separate from my main untameables list for now till we sort out what will and won't be available.

Related Lists:

The main untameable skins list, which includes all missing skins from older tameable families and models.
Doomcookie's list of all beasts found in Pandaria. Please make note of all your finds there!
Extended list of beastly new models. Including a lot of things that would probabyl never be tameable but are interesting all the same.

Anyway, on with the list... Click on the pictures/links to see larger versions of the image.

Cats
Pandaria Tiger model:
All except for the "God" model are tameable.

SiberianTigerGod

Turtles
Dragon Turtle model:
There are two models of dragon turtle, which both use the same set of skins. The "Epic" model has fins and a spikier shell.
Regular model:
All except the odd "DragonTurtleBlack" the end are available/tameable.

RidingDragonTurtleBlack

RidingDragonTurtleBlue

RidingDragonTurtleBrown

RidingDragonTurtleGreen

RidingDragonTurtlePurple

RidingDragonTurtleRed

DragonTurtleBlack: this skin is different to the rest in both shape and name and may not be intentional for this model. It looks a bit odd.
"Epic" (finned and spiky) model:
All except the purple, and the odd "DragonTurtleBlack" the end are now available/tameable.

RidingDragonTurtleBlack

RidingDragonTurtleBlue

RidingDragonTurtleBrown

RidingDragonTurtleGreen

RidingDragonTurtlePurple

RidingDragonTurtleRed

DragonTurtleBlack: this skin is different to the rest in both shape and name and may not be intentional for this model. It looks a bit odd.

Raptors
Basic 'primitive' riding raptor model:
One has been made tameable on the beta (Drakkari Riding Raptor, which uses the "Tomato" skin). We can always hope more will appear, but there aren't any other attackable free-standing raptors that could be used currently.

RidingRaptorSkinEmerald

RidingRaptorSkinIvory

RidingRaptorSkinObsidian

RidingRaptorSkinTomato: tameable as Drakkari Riding Raptor

RidingRaptorSkinTrexSkinRed

RidingRaptorSkinTurquoise

RidingRaptorSkinViolet
Swift riding raptor model:
Two of these colours have already appeared on tameable beasts in MoP, both on the Amani Riding Raptor. Let's hope more appear!

PvPRidingRaptorSkinAqua

PvPRidingRaptorSkinBlack

PvPRidingRaptorSkinCrimson: tameable as Amani Riding Raptor

PvPRidingRaptorSkinDarkBlack

PvPRidingRaptorSkinGreen

PvPRidingRaptorSkinOrange: tameable as Amani Riding Raptor

PvPRidingRaptorSkinPurple

PvPRidingRaptorSkinWhite

PvPRidingRaptorSkinYellow

TourneyRidingRaptorSkinBlue

Cranes
All are now tameable except for the "God" model.

CraneGod

Porcupines
Originally tameable by accident, they were so cute they decided to keep them. All are now tameable.

PorcupineYellow

Quilen
These are a new exotic family. Quilen look a lot like Chinese guardian lion statues, rather than their "qilin" namesake.
Organic:
All the organic skins are tameable.

Quilin_Brown

Quilin_Gray

Quilin_Red

Quilin_White
Stone, unadorned:
Jade is unavailable.

Quilin_Amethyst

Quilin_Cobalt

Quilin_Jade

Quilin_StoneGray
Stone, adorned:
All are available from random variants of the one rare "Portent".

Quilin_Amethyst2

Quilin_Cobalt2

Quilin_Jade2

Quilin_Jasper2

Moths
Same old model, same colours, but new wing/body colour combos. Theoretically any combo of wings and body colour could be used, meaning 36 possible combinations, including the originals! There are only two new combos so far, though, bring the total moth looks to 9:

MothSkinYellow (Green Wings): tameable as Fluttering Swallowtail

MothSkinYellow (Blue Wings): tameable as Fluttering Swallowtail

Crabs
Deep Sea Crab Model:
Rather than using the same two highlight colours (purple and blue), they're now experimenting with using other skin colours for the highlights, to awesome effect.

DeepSeaCrab_Ghost (orange skin highlights): King Spineclaw

Scorpids
Horde Scorpion Model:

HordeScorpionAmber: tameable on various beasts

Basilisks
Outland Basilisks
All are available.

Basilisk_OutlandGreen : Dampscale Basilisk etc.

Basilisk_OutlandRed : Scalded Basilisk and Stonegazer

Basilisk_OutlandViolet : Craghide Basilisk etc.

Basilisk_OutlandYellow : Marshrock Stomper etc.
Azeroth Basilisks
There exist four different crest colours for basilisks: jade, blue, purple and orange. Every combination of skin and crest is allowed. All except for three of the four purple combos (purple with jade, orange and purple crests) are now available:

BasiliskSkinBlack : Jade Crest, Blue crest, Purple Crest, Orange crest

BasiliskSkinBlue : Jade Crest, Blue crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

BasiliskSkinGreen : Jade crest, Blue Crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

BasiliskSkinBurgundyOrange : Jade Crest, Blue Crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

BasiliskSkinOrangePurple : Jade Crest, Blue crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

BasiliskSkinPurple : Jade Crest, Blue Crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

BasiliskSkinRed : Jade Crest, Blue crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

BasiliskSkinWhite : Jade crest Blue crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

BasiliskSkinYellow : Jade Crest, Blue crest, Purple Crest, Orange Crest

Worms
Silkworm model:
These guys were first tameable by accident. They decided to keep them anyway, as unlikely as they may seem as an intelligent creature... All colours but the dark one are available.

SilkwormRed

Water Striders
Another new family. Outland fen strider/spore walkers are being lumped together with Pandarian water striders, despite being nothing at all alike... Still, both look awesome
Mount model:
All are tameable.

WaterstriderMount_Blue1

WaterstriderMount_Jade1

WaterstriderMount_Orange1

WaterstriderMount_Red1

WaterstriderMount_Yellow1
Regular model:
All are tameable.

WaterstriderWhite

Spore / Marsh Walkers
All are tameable.

Tripod : Fen Strider

TripodBlack : The Black Stalker & Coilfang Strider

TripodGreen : Marsh Walker

TripodWhite : new Pandarian rare, Hexapos. Removed from Marticar and Boglash

Ruminants, horned/antlered
Goats:
All are tameable.

GoatWhite

Everything on the list from this point onwards is part of a non-tameable family. They've been left here out of hope and because they're the best candidates remaining of the new models...

Yaks:
Yaks could easily be grouped with goats, since they're both horned ruminants and both have a butt/gore type of attack. But there's been no sign of that happening. The one that was accidentally made tameable was fixed up a patch later. I'm leaving them here for now, in hope.

YakGodWhite

Pandarian Stags:

PandarenStagWhite

Mushan
Not a new family. I'm including them anyway as they're one of the best remaining candidates for a tameable beast amongst the new models. A couple were accidentally made tameable but were fixed up in the next patch. I don't hold much hope, but I'll leave them here for now.

MushanBeast_White

Kunchong (Mantid Tanks)
Not a new tameable family. While Mantids are sentient humanoids, Kunchong are classed as beasts and look so much like silithid colossi it's not impossible they'll become tameable some day. There's no sign of that happening so far, but I'll leave them here for now.

MantidTank_Black

MantidTank_Blue

MantidTank_Green

MantidTank_Red

Cloud Serpents
Not a new tameable family. Many are now beasts. They're probably not going to become tameable, but they are nice to look at and dream.

PandarenSerpent_Black : Wild Onyx Serpent, Subjugated Serpent, Onyx Stormclaw

PandarenSerpent_Blue : Shan'ze Cloudrunner

PandarenSerpent_Green : Shan'ze Cloudrunner

PandarenSerpent_Red : Shan'ze Cloudrunner

PandarenSerpent_Yellow : Shan'ze Cloudrunner

PandarenSerpent_Black (Lightning)

PandarenSerpent_Blue (Lightning)

PandarenSerpent_Green (Lightning)

PandarenSerpentRed (Lightning) : Alani <the Stormborn>

PandarenSerpent_Yellow (Lightning)

PandarenSerpentGod_Black : Hei Feng (still classed as dragonkin)

PandarenSerpentGod_Blue

PandarenSerpentGod_Green

PandarenSerpentGod_Red

PandarenSerpentGod_Yellow

CelestialSerpent - maybe a potential spirit beast?

Nothing changed as of yet

, checked out most of the skins you have here and they are all still untameable.. But I did notice one thing.... The Gorilla's are now (anyway in the new zones) classified as "Giants" not tameable, and not beasts. Have taken pictures of everything I came across, will put them up in my photobucket as soon as i get the time

ok, sorry for some of the pics are kinda dark

was on a computer that barely runs wow, let along get good pics, but here is some info or the skins..

Tigers and Turtles I couldn't get a confirmed name for color, but for cranes it was pretty easy.

CranePink = Lotus Crane (In Valley of the Mad Brewer)
CraneBlack = Crested Bandit Crane (In Orchis Hollow)
CraneGreen = Wandering Creenback (In Dawn's Blossom)
CraneBrown = Sunrise Crane (In Central Bamboo Forest)
CraneWhite = Ink-Tipped Crane (In The Arboretum)

Found the Waterstriders, kinda small, bout the size of a house cat

One that is in the newbie zone is RED, and all the red ones you have listed say MOUNT... this one is way to small to mount

used for a quest, but are labeled as beasts.

The NPCID macro doesn't work in beta currently, so I can't get any IDs but I'm taking screenshots of beasts. I'll post more info such as level ranges and areas once I explore a bit more.

On a side note, on a quest I ran today I found that Jadefang is no longer a unique skin. I also noticed that the jade tigers were marked as elementals. I put a note in the blizzard suggestion forum hoping they will change them to beasts for us.

cowmuflage · **Posted:** Mon Apr 02, 2012 2:03 am

So theres other green shale spiders? Nice.

Yaone · **Posted:** Mon Apr 02, 2012 3:28 am

Also as of today, the jade cats are labeled as elementals, not beasts. I do hope this changes since I know a lot of people want to tame that skin

yaginoashi · **Posted:** Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:14 am

the jade tigers are elementals?! *sad panda face*

Zarola · **Posted:** Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:29 pm

There are also reddish brown mountain worgs for those who like the worg model. Located in the Tidemist Thicket.

pengupuff · **Posted:** Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:19 pm

I'm pulling for the organic Qilin and the dragon turtles. Fingers crossed!

Also, thanks for the great resource, Wain.

Mania · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:01 am

Side note for the future: Based on the Bestiary, I think Blizzard plans on calling them Quilen in-game.

cowmuflage · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:35 am

I still think those Mushan things look like a updated Snapdragon model. I mean they have Dragonturtles..... Only logical to make Snapdragons. XD Well to me anyway.

Yeah, I'm not sure which will be correct. The website could be a typo, as Doomcookie's picture here shows the in-game ones to be spelled "Qilin":

Wain · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 1:19 am

Added the Yak and Goat skins.

Ohhhh what if the "race" is spelled one way but then theres mobs with it spelled the other way? As in certain types are named differntly.

Edit: sorry if that makes non sence. It does in my head haha!

The spelling in that pic looks like Quilin, not Qilin.

Wain · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 10:59 pm

I changed the comments to refer to Doomcookie's list for the actual beasts. That's a much better idea than trying to document those here as well.

Mania · **Posted:** Wed Apr 11, 2012 2:27 am

I found a new bird ... sort of. Right now, this isn't a beast. It's not even a critter. It can't be selected at all. And the model is a bit blocky. But it's not worse than the seagull - and way prettier.

I found it sitting on the rim of Owen's Wishing Well in the Jade Forest.

AdamSavage · **Posted:** Wed Apr 11, 2012 2:44 am

Interesting bird. Reminds of me a real life bird, I just cant place the bird type at the moment.
