I'd like an update. Do the beast Cloud Serpents still have a diet on the ptr? There was 1. There's like 3 that are labeled beasts. Thank you!

I haven't checked recently but all remaining cloud serpents should be beasts. Not sure about diets though. And I have no inkling that they'd ever become tameable. I just hope they will. :)

I don't read the forums for a few days and this happens. I'm truely surprised, never saw that one coming! So glad they're not exotic either, and I do hope they remain in the serpent family so that I can use the buff without having to use a hyena or the normal serpent model.

Any chance that the more corporeal sea-serpent skins of this model will be made tamable? Sorry if this was asked, but I haven't been around the forums for a while, and 9 pages is a bit to read through in the short time I have.

The serpents…just…ohmygoshicantwaitahhh!
I don’t think I have been this excited for something since I got my new computer and could level past 70. These were among the first creatures I saw when I set foot in northrend. I remember standing outside the dungeon and just admiring their beauty and sighing “if only.” I still do whenever I do my weekly Maly run and recently noticed they had been changed to beasts and was wondering what was up. I’m so happy! Thank you for finding this! :D

sharing some screenshots of these guys to make people aware that they do have a thing that may bother some people.
View from above. This is how its actually is curled on idle.
Image
This is from the side. look how vissible the tail is even though its on the other side of the animal.
Image
Front views. The tail appears as if its infront of the animal for some reason while its actually not. This may highly annoy some.
Image Image
It does fly very low, now this is easy to get used to though i feel it should fly a bit higher. Also when it moves after you it wiggles rather fast like its having problems following. Think of warpstalkers and how they sometimes seem to move like they are on speed(or have that been solved now?).
Image

Anyway. i will be getting one of these on live when it hits no matter what. its just so pretty Q_Q

I'm fine with flying low, it means it won't be constantly up my arse camera-wise.

Bugger :( Thanks for checking!

Noah is aware of it at least. He hasn't responded though, so I don't know if it's still possible to fix this before 5.1 or not. Cross fingers.

I just went to tame one of these, I 1st tried the only place I could remember up top of my head where they were, outside Nexus. I could not tame these? My beast Lore didn't work on them either.

Going to check the other spots.

If you're doing it on live, then you're a patch too early.

are you on the Public Test Realm?

If I understood this thread correctly, these aren't tamable yet on live servers, only on the PTR.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:

I love pets - combat or non.
