9.2 PTR Beast Thread

[DannyGreen]

I'm very interested in the birds.
Hoping for some Cool dinosaurs. What kind of first world is it without DINOSAURS!
Few I've noticed.
Glowy spiders

A weird robot errrr mudkip thing.

[Maizou]

If those snails aren't tameable, I will personal cause a riot.

[Valnaaros]

It also looks like there is a new wasp model

[Maizou]

Has it been suggested those wicker beasts from Kul Tiras? Would love those as pets!
There was a bear one, a dog... They'd make for neat undead tames.

Ulfar actually comments on this if you're a hunter.


"I have seen some animals that look like they are part plant. Can you tell me about them?"

I suppose you’re seeking a new pet?

<Ulfar scoffs>

The magic of this place is deep and profound. It has come to inhabit some of the animals of the region. They are powerful manifestations of nature to be respected.

There's a lot of low-res textures. Sure hope this is a very, very, very, very early look, and that the textures will be refined. I could count the pixels on some of the beasts. I want that mech frog and mech chicken the most, so far.

[Valnaaros]

A closer view of the spiders. They are mechanical.

[worgpower]

They all look amazing, but I’m not crazy for the toad since we were given enough looks in the beginning of the xpac, the canids look cool, the stag/Talbuk looks meh, and I’m wondering what’s that first creature, is it a bear or a cat

[Valnaaros]

Most of the new beasts could fit easily in Mechanical. This would work best for the chicken and rabbit, since otherwise they may not become tameable.

This?



It uses the bear rig.

Another bear rig, we had 5 this xpac, but it’s cool, forgot to mention how awesome the birds look

A closer view of the stag

[Valnaaros]

Assuming that all of the beasts from the concept art made it into the game, there should also be a new mechanical dog, crane, turtle, and marmot/prairie dog.

Wow, they got backswept horns and ram horns, i take back what i said earlier, I want one

To a degree I think that is the intention. They are meant to basically be concept art for what ended up in the Shadowlands, so they don't look very refined - especially those with additional effects.

[Valnaaros]

There are two different toad types, which you can see in the screenshots I've posted. One is completely clean and free of moss/vines, and the other is covered in them.

[worgpower]

I love how we get more in depth with the shadowlands and these creatures show us how this place is the start of the zones we were in

[Valnaaros]

Looking at the footage, it looks like the wolves are using the classic Worg/Fel Hunter rig.

A new running animation would be great, i like the standing and walking, but running on these rigs make them look like they are going to trip on a rock in front of them

[DannyGreen]

Spiders look coolest so far. the bears are cool, but The spiders are just great.

What kind of mechanical things are you expecting to see?
I kind of want to see the possible mecha turtle. We need more turtles. Maybe that mount bird. Though it seems to use the same thing as the 6 month blue chicken so I don't expect that.

[Valnaaros]

The new wasp model will randomly have its abdomen separate.
