I dearly hope the panthera and talbuk became tameable. And the little lizard-cat-martel to be a mini pet and tameable! (I have a mighty need of one for my draenei mage)

They most likely will be. This is the beginning of the ptr. They will do a Taming Pass later on :)

Thus far, this is everything. Only the first area of Argus has been opened and I have been all over the place.

It's hilarious that the model is called a Feasel. Glad Jeremy has another reference in the game :)

It's hard to know if they'll ever be pets, because they have that "in between" look where they kinda look like they should be smaller creatures but maybe not. A bit like the otters etc. are. But it would be great if we could all tame our own Feasel! :D



And... "shackled ur'zul"? Surely we're not going to take an amalgam of the tormented souls of fallen Army of Light... stick a saddle on it, yell "giddy up" and ride around on it? :lol:

That's cool :) I mean I have to hunt for the actual models in the database so I can start uploading official pics to our database :)

Oh! And that Shadow Stalker appeared in the database WAY earlier, but it was encrypted so nobody knew what it looked like. Wow, it's very cool :) By the name I had been wondering earlier if it was JAFC (Just Another F... Cat ;) ) but it's awesome :)

I haven't seen the Warp Stalker yet, but it may be involved with the Void in some manner. In that case, it may not be tamable, since it could be an aberration.

That's ok. If it's a colour-variant of an existing tameable I'll include it anyway.

I'm not surprised everything's untamable; that's usually one of the later things they put in. There's also a new worm model with spines on its back... it uses the grub base, but idk, it could be okay? They gave us caterpillars after all.

someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

The new pvp fox mounts make me want the new fox models to be tameable too; pale fox for the horde and black fox for the Alliance.

Yeah I saw that unicorn icon and squeee'ed. I hope if we can't tame it, it's a mount. But I realllly want to tame the unicorns. Maybe if we sent Muffinus a bunch of cookies.

The unicorn may be a secret mount, like the worm last time. (It drop from "Puzzler's Desire")

They're literally mutated amalgamations of people fused into some beastlike shape, it's so messed up but also really awesome. Everything looks so cool this patch!
Someone saw this eldritch horror of tortured souls and said: "I want to ride that thing"

That was my impression, another thing for the secret hunters to find. That makes me happy because it would mean its a rad mount I love that I actually have a chance to get when it comes out! That don't happen too often these days.

Edit: Not to derail but those Ur'zul remind me of the Pokefusion meme with Weepinduo

I have seen both of those, but they are both critters. Further, there is the matter of wheter or not they are fel-corrupted/tainted, or are demonic. If the latter, then they probably can't be.
