MODERATOR EDIT: The contest has now ended! Qraljar solved the puzzle of how to tame the Felbound Wolf and his report is here. Congratulations Qraljar!

Is this thing on? Yeah? ... Excellent. <steepling fingers>

So ... I learned something fascinating the other day. You guys have missed something - something veeeery interesting. See, there's a certain tameable beast with a cool new look on the 6.2 PTR that nobody has reported yet.

Now we could tell you what it is and how to tame it ... but we aren't going to. Instead, we're going to run a little contest with Petopia's sister site, Warcraft Mounts, sponsoring the prize. The first person to find this new tameable on the 6.2 PTR and report back with all the necessary details on how to tame it, here on this thread, will win a Corrupted Hippogryph loot code, from the good people at WootLoots.

So here's what you need to do: First, go find the beast! We're not going to give you any hints about this creature other than it's new to patch 6.2, it's not a look that has been tameable before, and it's not a simple ‘see beast, tame beast’ kind of tame. Next, get some screenshots! Post a full screenshot of you with the tamed beast on this thread, including your PTR character name and PTR realm (in the unlikely event there's a dispute and we need to get in touch with you on the PTR realm to verify the tame). Also keep in mind that in order to be eligible for the prize, you must also have an active WoW account on an EU or US server (including Oceanic and Latin America), so we can give it to you.

It's possible that someone on some other site will report the tame before one of us Petopians does. In that case, we'll have to declare the contest void and save the loot code for another day. Let's avoid that, though, by beating them to it. So go forth. minions, and tame!

Good luck!

Please direct any questions to me!

[Qraljar]

I probably won't win at all, but that's really cool!



Also nice to have some sort of confirmation that there's a new tame.

I lost my old account sadly. I have been here for awhile even though I never posted much though xD. Thanks for this fun competition I always love stuff like this

edit nvm forgot you can answer this

[Kalhoun]

Omigosh how exciting!

[Arthur]

Woah I can't wait to see what it is owo! Is it in Tanaan, or can't you tell that?

[Bendak]

How exciting! I don't even know where to start, but I'm going to assume it's in Tanaan.

[Ziarre]

I can't get on PTR and have shiny birdbeast, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this.

[Sar]

It's quest locked?

[Ickabob]

Damn... The PTR is down for a new build.

/suspense

[Makoes]

Well now...seem's our PTR peeps have missed something *GASP!* and to have the Hive Queen herself make an announcement, this must be something special indeed!

[Sar]

Which is annoying, because I know what it is, and exactly where it is.

Nggh.

[Qraljar]

Nggh.

Oh boy. :p

[Vephriel]

Oooh how exciting! I won't participate since I am already the lucky owner of a Corrupted Hippogryph, but I can't wait to watch the contest and see the results. Best of luck everyone!

Nggh.

That sure was quick.

[Wain]

Bad timing with the announcement I guess. At the time we didn't know there'd be another PTR build quite so soon!

[Torachi]

Oooh, can't wait to see what it is! Good luck to all those participating!

[WerebearGuy]

Someone hurry up and win the contest, I wanna know what it is! I've got the tcg mount, so I'm not gonna enter it myself (among not having an active account, I got lazy!)

[Lisaara]

Oh damn! ><;

[Sar]

Gah, nvm, it was a bug in the PTR data :/
