Hydras WILL be tameable!!!!!

[Lisaara]

@Zamochy Since Hydras will be tameable, is there any chance Chimearon will be tameable as a Hydra?

.@Zamochy He is tameable... with some caveats. Delve into the Depths of Blackwing and find out for yourself

Wait, so they're adding some mechanic to taming Chimaeron??

I don't think they are. But we do have to fight to get to him.

now that Hydras are tameable, how about tame the most ugly hydra in the world? http://t.co/KxIQhbB3E1
Most base crieterion for tameable bosses is "can you solo it?" Eagerly awaiting hunter videos (Muffinus)

Now that it is completely confirmed that they will be tameable, I'm definitely getting one and possibly naming him Gemini. That is my birth sign after all.

I think chimaeron is cute & unique, personally. I remember when he first was released, his claw, & both heads would sleep, then it was changed to just the two heads sleeping. I thought to myself: "It'd be so cool to tame that one..."



Regardless when it's all released; do we get Spirit of Atha again? I hope so...

Oh I hope so too!!!!

^i think blizz made it to stay as a crockolisk now, not tameable still neither. might leave the ones who got the ghost ones stay unique. or u might get away with the glitch again?

but im looking forward to either : Chim,red rare in wc before entrance to instance, or the green zg ones. im going to camp the wc one 1st rofl.. since its pretty rare, i hardly ever see that one up anymore =(

Actually, it's a hydra. As in, now in-game it's labeled a 'hydra'. Has a different ability than crocolisk and everything.

I don't know if they'll make it tameable or not, though. I'd like to *hope* so, though in-game at the moment, it (and the slime and croc) are all no longer tameable, and I'm not even sure if they're considered beasts.

[Shinryu Masaki]

It would be nice if it was tamable again, as well as the ghost crock to give us a bit more skins to chose from.

New "Thunder Hydra" coming. It seems to have four legs. But the model that Perc has displayed isn't mapping the skin correctly at all, so there's not much more you can get from this:

[Kalliope]

That's going to look really cool when it gets mapped properly. Just look at those colors.

[Equeon]

Ooh! But "Thunder Hydra", and those colors, make me think of the Throne of Thunder rather than anything Draenor.

Definitely looks like the ToT hydra heads. Not sold on the big, four-legged body, but it could look good!

[Vephriel]

Huh! That's a really interesting looking body. I don't know how I feel about it yet, I'm so fond of the old two legged look, but regardless it could be a very cool addition! I love the look of the animations, hopefully we get a correct texture for it soon.

[SpiritBinder]

Agreed the model is a big change, but from what I can see, It's a completely new skeleton and animations, which has been pretty rare thus far for new WoD pets/mounts... Maybe that’s why I'm just so excited....

New Boars/Water Beasts = Dire Horns rigging.

That said, I'm sure we will be able to tame both variations, 2 and 4 legged. It would be a little evil if we couldn't <.<

[Vephriel]

Yeah, the animations look completely unique, they're very fluid! I'm eager to see if it'll come in multiple colours (and to see the proper model in general). I like the look of it, I just don't really picture it as a hydra. It looks more like a dinosaur. Either way, very cool looking model.

[Makoes]

Got to say that I love the 4 legged hydra model so far, it's like a 3 headed wingless dragon, and dragons are awesome!!! Would love to be able to tame something like that!!!!!!!!

[Kalliope]

It's a dinopuppy! I kinda like that. xD

SQUEEEEEE!!

That looks so awsome
not sure if its the TOT heads tho those look more serpent like and this looks more dragon like but still
I am pleased XD

actually I do hope some ToT hydra will be implemented I remember making a hydra based sketch of it when Tot released >_> those heads looks awsome

edit: now that I have been looking at meagara heads again I am starting to think this new hydra is actually based of on them only with less spikes and more stubbed down version of it (they do seem to have pulled the frozen skin over it XD).

Not sure if I am allowed to post a screen of it tho if not ill remove it again.

yes. another "dragon" for my collection!
I am in love with its run and walk animations. they just look so fluid and powerful. I don't see too much ToT resemblance myself- then again I didn't pay too much attention to the tot hydras-but I imagine they will be compelled to do something with the tot heads so I wont be surprised if they end up on a hydra.
The body does look a tad bit bulky but I really don't care too much. its nice to have such a variation in models since a lot of pet families suffer from the one model fits all problem. not many families get to have more than one model like birds of pray and dogs.

EDIT: oh I see it now. I think they may have used the blue head for reference but it wont be exactly the same. at least not on this particular mob. There are some clear differences between the two.
