Pet skins that are still untameable

Unread post by Wain »

.
This thread lists the unused / untameable pet skins (colours) of tameable families.

If you want to see beasts that aren't in tameable families but could conceivably be hunter pets, see the other list: Untameable Families.

There are three sections:

Colours available (but unused) for tameable models
Including some other models that are very similar to current tameables.

Bats
Unused body/wing combinations
It's possible to mix bat body colours with wings that were originally designed for different skins, including the wing skins for the epic bat mounts (since the bat mount wings have no harness art). Not all of these combinations look good, but some do. I'm including all of them for completeness and interest.

Birds of Prey
One kaliri skin remains unused, 'DraenorKalirSunGod', which could be used in two ways. On the regular model it's analogous to the old-model orange owl. On the fiery "sun god" model it looks more like a spirit beast.

Devilsaurs
Horde Armored Devilsaur:
One (Thok) is tameable so far. There are five skin colours (same as the Zandalari devilsaur) and five armour colours. The armour file names are each linked to a specific body colour, suggesting they were designed to match. But the tameable Thok doesn't follow this convention, so any skin/body combination is valid. This results in 25 combinations. The unavailable ones are:

The "blood" skin was introduced in WoD as the base skin for the "Sethe" model. On the regular model, without the bloody aura, it looks like a natural red-orange wind serpent:

Outland model:
Unused body/wing colour combinations:
Any combination of wing and body colour is possible. Several have already been mixed this way. Note that body/wing combos are also possible with old model wind serpents, in fact the red with orange wings has been available for a long time, but most of them look jarring. The thing that makes it work in the Outland model is that the body takes some colouring from the wings (for the sails) and the wings take a little colouring from the body skin, so it blends better. The unused combos are:

Skins that fit tameable models but would need to be copied over from other models / folders
Index

Feathermanes
Hippogryphs, New Model:
This is the skin from the Emerald Hippogryph mount. It's the same format as the new Broken Isles Hippogryphs and could provide an extra colour to the family.

EliteHippogryph
Cats
Pandaren Tiger model:
The skin for the "Warnightsabermount" model added in 5.4. Similar to the Frost skin, but more yellowed:
Image
warnightsabermount_creature
Standard model:
A standard model version of any of the following skins that are currently only available for the sabre model:
Image
RidingTigerSkinAqua
Image
RidingTigerSkinGoldNoSaddle
Image
RidingTigerSkinLavender
Glowing-eyes / hunched / 'gem' model:
A glowing-eyes/hunched model version of any of the following skins that are currently only available for the sabre model:
Image
RidingTigerSkinAqua
Image
RidingTigerSkinGoldNoSaddle
Image
RidingTigerSkinLavender
Sabre / 'riding' model:
A sabre model version of any of the following skins that are currently only available for the standard or glowing-eyes models:
Image
TigerSkinGreen
A sabre model version of any of the following skins that are currently only available for the spectral feral (spirit beast) model:
Image
SpectralTigerGreen

Cranes
The following crane skin can be located in the "alternate" folder (which I think is used for the Chinese version of the client?):
Image
CraneWhite
(actually grey)



Devilsaurs
Zandalari model:
This is the original blue skin, which was used in-game during the 5.2 PTR but then removed. It's a much clearer blue than the one that was eventually used. To be available it would have to be copied back into the database:
Image
ZandalariDevilsaur_Blue (original)


Direhorns
These are the original blue and green skins, which were used in-game during the 5.2 PTR but then removed. They're much lighter and less-saturated colours than the ones that were eventually used. To be available they'd have to be copied back into the database:
Image
TriceratopsBlue (original)
Image
TriceratopsGreen (original)

Moths
The following exists on the "MothPet" model used for the Imperial Silk Moth battle pet, but works on the large model. Current skin is only 128x128 instead of the normal 256x256. Hopefully higher res. version exists. Otherwise it's too low res.
Image
MothSkinPet

Quilen
There's a quilen skin that is only used for a statue. It's a pretty cool dark clay, and would definitely suit someone who wants a brooding pet. It would have to be copied from World\Expansion04\Doodads\Mogu\Quilin_statue.blp . Also, it needs an alpha mask (which can be copied from any other quilen skin) before it will work properly.
Image
Quilin_Statue
- it's worth noting that while there's a "jasper2" skin in the database, there's no plain "jasper". This is the only stone colour without a plain form. I wonder if the Art team created one but forgot to copy it in....



Ravagers
Elite model:
An elite (extra spiky) model version of any of the following skins that are currently only available for the regular ravager model:
Image
CrawlerVar1
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar2
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar3
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar4
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar5
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar6
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar7
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar8
(elite model)
Image
CrawlerVar9
(elite model)
The three elite model skins would also work on the regular model, but would need alpha masks copied to them first. Unmodified they look wrong.


Wasps
This yellowish-green colour is currently only used for a low-res dragonfly creature, but is in fact a full-res wasp skin. It's located in World/Kalimdor/Silithidhive/PassiveDoodads/Silithidmodels/Dragonfly.blp
Image
Dragonfly

Wolves
The following old-style worg skin was added for the "Darkmoondirewolfboss" model in 5.4. It's the same as the "light blue" Dire Wolf skin except for the glowing blue eyes.
Image
DireWolfSkinLightBlueBlankEyes

Other models that could fit in existing families

Index

Bears
Amani Bear Mounts:
These look like they're wearing armour more than a saddle, so don't look too weird as an attack beast. In fact they're used that way in the ZA raid. There are two skin colours (black, brown) and six armour colours :

Black Image Image
- Amani Bear
- Amani Bear Mount
Image Image Image
- Amani Warbear
Image
Brown Image Image Image Image Image Image
Northrend Bear Mounts:
There are a bunch of colours, including an icy white with blue lips, that don't occur on regular bears and could make interesting new skins if they could have no-saddle versions (though these probably don't exist). Just one example is given below:
Image
NorthrendBearMountSkinWhite1
- Brunnhildar Riding Bear

GiantBoarArmoredMountRed
- Porkchop

GiantBoarArmoredMountPurple

GiantBoarArmoredMountFrost

- Ashmaul Gutwrencher

Core Hounds
The Void Hound is the only core hound-style model left untameable. It occurs in quite a few places in the game but all are demons. Hopefully we'll find a non-demonic one someday.
Image
VoidTerrorSkinBlack

Devilsaurs
Zandalari Battlesaur:
There are five skin colours (same as the non-armoured version) and five armour colours. 25 combinations all up:

Direhorns
Zandalari Direhorn:
There are five skin colours (same as the non-armoured version) and five intended matching armour colours (i.e. body and armour files are named the same way). The armour and body colours could be mixed and matched but I'm not going to list them all here unless we see this happening in the game.

Dogs
It may seem a stretch but the pug model model, blown to full size, would make a pretty scary-looking attack bulldog!

Feathermanes
Gryphons, New Model:
(The new gryphon model was added in Pandaria but seems to be unused in the wild so far.)

EliteGryphon
Hippogryphs, Old Model:
Both these fiery hippogyphs are currently only found on saddled models, but the skins are fine for use on an unsaddled / wild model (i.e. there's no harness pasted on the base skin).

BurntGryphSkinRed

PyrogryphSkin
Wind Riders, New Model:
(The new wind rider model was added in Pandaria but seems to be unused in the wild so far.)

EliteWyvern

Serpents
Snake model:
This low-to-ground model has no tameable examples, but belongs in this family. They'd be great for hunters who want a serpent but don't like the large "in your face" model. They also still look nice and sleek when scaled up to larger size, too. Examples of each colour are below:
Image
SnakeSkinBlack
- Cavern Serpent
- Serpentbloom Snake etc.
Image
SnakeSkinBlue
- Cobaltscale Death Adder etc.
Image
SnakeSkinBrown
- Dune Rattler
- Sand Serpent etc.

Birds of Prey
The following "talon" model occurs in a couple of places but has so far only been associated with demi-god level beings.
Image
RavenGodBlack
- See also "Elemental Birds" in the "Missing skins from untameable families" list


Cats
Armored riding sabres
I need to re-do these.


Crabs
Lobsters:
There are no tameable lobsters, but presumably they belong with crabs. They use the Makrura model. Note that Makrura are humanoids but the Azeroth model has been used for a number of (small) beasts, including the Rock Lobster in Stormwind and the Muddy Crawfish in Orgrimmar. If they were used for more beasts, it would probably be more fitting if they were given a different skeleton so the beast version was distinct from the humanoid one, maybe less upright.
There are two models with various skins of each:
Azeroth model :

Outland model :

Cool. Thanks for your feedback :)
Acherontia wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the Dreadscale (rather than Acidmaw) Jormungar that's untameable? Or are their skins swapped on wowhead?
These guys always confused me, but I'm pretty certain it's Acidmaw that has the unusual skin. I just checked Tankspot videos to confirm.

First of all, in mobile ("larva") form, they're both the standard purple colour of the regular tameable Jormungar. I guess Blizzard got lazy and cheated on that one! I assume this means they have no other skin for the mobile model so it's unlikely they'll ever bother to make them now :(

In static ("half buried") form, Dreadscale has the standard purple skin that matches the tameable Jormungar. Wowhead only shows the model for its mobile form, so it's not a good source for this one. But it's identical to Deep Jormungar.

In static form, Acidmaw, however, looks a very pale purple. Wowhead does show the model for this one, thankfully, so you can see it's quite different to the standard skin colour.
Acherontia wrote:By the way, I'm pretty sure there's a diseased bear skin around that still isn't tameable--but it's not anywhere in the game so I'm not sure if you are including those or not.
Yup, I'd definitely include those! Can you find one that's untameable? The only diseased skins I found on Petopia (Live and the Cataclysm section) all seemed to have tameable versions, but maybe I missed one.

Updated with references to untameable dog, crab and croc skins, but only in as much as to say that I won't detail them till they get sorted out more on the beta.

You could see if Rotclaw (the pet bear in Shadow Vault) is that color, but I'm not sure he is. The only place I've 100% seen this skin is in ModelViewer, but I'm not sure if you're using in-game beasts only or not :P

RE: Jormungars, I'd have sworn that one was always "blonde" and one was always purple. Just wasn't sure that Wowhead had the right skin matched to the right mob, but I assume Tankspot saved the day ^^

Some more existing models which could be made into tamable beasts:

Tallstrider Family:
Hawkstrider mount models(http://www.warcraftmounts.com/horde.php), armored or unarmored, would fit perfectly within this family. We already have one tamable mount model in-game, the Black War Wolf(http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/pvpridi ... black.html)

Dog Family:
The Perky Pug model(http://www.warcraftpets.com/wow.pets/ma ... ky_pug.asp) could be implemented as a tamable beast in the game, perhaps as a guard dog in a gnome settlement?

Rotclaw seems to be the same diseased brown bear skin of a number of tameable beasts, like Deathclaw.

If a skin exists in the database, even if it's not in the game, I'd still love to add it. Can you point me to a link of the skin you've seen in modelviewer? :)

Oo, I like that. They really are like short plainstriders. They'd have to either add some wild ones to the Blood Elf starting zones (the mounts must have been tamed from somewhere!) or allow players to tame some of the ones from the evil blood elf factions in Outland.

That guy looks rather scary when he's expanded to full size! When blown up he'd definitely make a credible attack dog.

Thanks :)

I could see the hawkstriders in both both places, unarmored ones running around in Eversong and the armored mounts in Outland. They could also possibly add them to some of the new zones. It always seemed odd to me that the model doesn't exist in the wild; where'd the elves get them in the first place?

Added some skin details about crabs, crocs and dogs. I'm not sure if the info is still current or whether new tameables have been found in the latest patch (or if the Gilnean starting zone dogs can be accessed by non-Worgen now, somehow??). I'll have to get about more and check on these, but please correct any info I've got wrong. Thanks :)

Do you want to add the Core hounds that are untamable?
Magmadar, Summoned Wrath Hound and Lavanthor are all untamable. :D

Thanks, but they're all still the same skin that is used by the standard core hounds :) This isn't a list of untameable pets, but a list of pet skins (colours) where there are no tameable examples :)

I'm starting to look through wowmodelviewer and locate skins I haven't seen on Wowhead.

Here's the first batch of updates, most of these found using wowmodelviewer:

Serpents:
- A couple more python snake colours (blue and yellow-black).
Silithids:
- Exposed-brain versions of the silithid colossi, in four colours (one is in the game but untameable)
Dragonhawks:
- DragonhawkSkin02 (light body with pink wings). Been in the game a long time (but untameable) but I somehow missed it.
Wasps:
- SilithidFlyerSkinOrange: a shiny copper colour Found using wowmodelviewer.
- SilithidFlyerSkinBlack: an inky blue colour Found using wowmodelviewer.
- SilithidWaspBossSkin2: fluoro purple (way more fluoro than the sapphire hive wasps). Found using wowmodelviewer.
Worms:
- JormungarLarvaDark: an inky-black version, found on wowmodelviewer.
- JormungarLarvaWhite: snowy white and purple version, found on wowmodelviewer.

Ok, this is a bit of a stretch, but if the hawkstriders could be in the tallstrider family maybe the Magic Rooster model would work too. Chicken of death? Yes please.
