Battle for Azeroth creatures

[Qraljar]

This will also be posted in the mount thread, but this new core hound could eventually become a tamable beast

That seems like a correct guess.

[Lupis]

I kinda love it, I'll be honest :,D I never really clicked with how big and chunky regular corehounds are, and as silly as the single huge head looks, I like this sleeker and toned down version of what a corehound can be. Definitely my immediate favorite aside from Chromaggus.

[Valnaaros]

Newest pet family: pigmen.

[Valnaaros]

Blizz might make the core hound a pet unique to Dark Irons, similar to what they did with Voidstalkers and VEs.

[Quiv]

That core hound feels wrong, like are my eyes crossed or what

[Valnaaros]

I personally really like it, but I get what you mean. I think we're just so used to it being a hulking two-headed animal that this, being the opposite, looks strange.

[Lycanthrope]

I love it! So much nicer looking than their two-headed brethren. <3

[Bowno]

I think if it actually had a neck instead of HUGE EXTENDING HEAD then body.. It'd look a little better.
A lot of creatures are going the way of the NONECKALLOWED.
The armored version makes the no neck thing a little less noticeable though!

[Valnaaros]

That kind of how they have always been, but their collar covered it up. These ones aren't wearing a collar so it is easily noticeable now.

[Thwip]

Still looks a tad oversized to me tho! It's certainly rather jarring, but also I can dig it!

[Vephriel]

Dear god that makes me uncomfortable. Oof, I really don't like it. It looks so wrong.

[Thwip]

I'm just headcanoning that these aren't mature lavapuppers. They're just doing their best!

[cowmuflage]

I like the one head corehound.

[Quiv]

Looking at it is like looking at a mirrored face, like your brain knows what its trying to see but can't even



But yes its just trying its best. THEYRE ALL GOOD LAVAPUPPERS BRONT

Edit: on a serious note, do we know the skeleton/animation its using? Is that worg?

[Valnaaros]

It uses either the old coyote skeleton/animations or those of the cat/cat form. It has a dance animation listed, which both the coyotes and cats have. Won't know for sure until the animations are fully implemented.

[Vephriel]

It's hard to tell from the T pose alone, but it looks like it could be the worg skeleton, the same that's used on the Illidari Felstalker and Draenor wolves.

[Rhyela]

I actually like it, though it looks more alien and less hound to me. Interesting design, at least.

[Quiv]

Hmmmmm. Not tameable at the moment, but lots of HD gryphons flying around sound Drustvar.

[Valnaaros]

Yeah, there are a lot of them in Tiragarde Sound, too.

[GormanGhaste]

It's not a (Dark Iron Dwarf) Core Hound. It's a Dark Iron (Dwarf Core Hound).
