New core hound: Chromaggus now tameable!

Thanks so much for Moonlost from Petopia, who tanked us through BWL and Vandrom from Lost Isles who also tanked and helped us along in a big way....

Chromaggus is now a beast and tameable as a core hound! For those of you who haven't seen him, he's a "drakeadon". Kind of a core hound infused with chromatic dragon genes for essence during the experiments of Nefarian in BWL.

The taming wasn't too hard at all. As expected he's immune to freezing traps though:

And he keeps his boss tag, as you can see :) He looks fantastic.

EDIT: also should mention that the first boss fight in BWL seems to be bugging out on us at the moment. The dragonkin would just despawn, leaving no way to destroy the eggs. It was after that that Moonlost reminded me we still had a raid id from last week we could use, so we bypassed it.

And no, the googly eyed void hound models aren't tameable as core hounds (yet?).

I think that'll be my last find for a while. I'm off to the USA for a week come Saturday. I hope you guys find some really awesome things in my absence :)

I'm happy to have helped. Even if I did kill us a few times the week before when we got our raid lockout XD

But god damn he looks amazing! Coolest pet ever. I want him so much on live. And to help out our other Petopians get him too, when he's available.
Thank you for your dedication to snagging him!

(And he was requested as an avatar in my avatars thread. I'm counting that towards the lucky avatars thing. XD)

*Spazzes out*

Wow. I honestly did not expect to see this one. Very nice!
I like my Kurken-skin CH, but this is a very cool look as well. Might have to flip a coin ...

He's gonna be MINE. Loki is going to have to deal with a brother, Thor, maybe, since I already have Odin.

I cannot BELIEVE that he is tameable! I mean...he's a dragon! Taming...a dragon. :O

We should check the void terror boss in Dune Maul. He might be tameable. =X

Following the same train of thought, which of the void terror models have you checked wain? I know there's a few about, wouldn't mind poking my nose around if you've missed any. :>

EDIT: Never mind, I'll ask you in game XD

Excellent news Wain... thanks for reporting that in!
Hmm.. good bye "The Beast"? or maybe have both...!


I wonder if the "Drakeadon Mongrel" from Blackwing Descent will also be tameable...
