Going to check the other spots.
If you're doing it on live, then you're a patch too early.

WTB fainting couch!!!! This is the ONE PET I've wanted to be tameable since I first laid eyes on them, you best bet I'll be camping the white one the day this goes live! Praise and love to Blizzard! I was so excited and happy when I heard this news! <3

If the red one ever became tamable, that would most definitely be my first choice.
I have absolutely NO red pets, I generally dislike anything red - I'm colourblind and for some reason, that colour doesn't register well when I look at things, and it gives me a strange sensation. But the red arcane wyrm is AWESOME.

and while I'd normally go for the white one, as I rather like white pets on almost ALL of my toons, in this particular case, I like the blue ones best.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"

Newest build: Crazed Mana Wyrms are still un-interactable from the ground. You can select them, but you can do nothing to them.

And what's more, on the list, there is still a serpent left to find: Acidous. Potentially he could be the green one! ... ... wishful thinking, I'm sure.

Maybe Acidous can be the rare one, and Noah can make the ones in Nexus yellow and tameable. Then we'd have everything we needed. :D

I checked. Shan'ze Cloud Runners and Onyx Storm Claws (Town Long Steppes) have a diet of meat. But Wild Onyx Serpents (Kun-lai) don't have a diet.

*Whistles* Nice find! That red one certainly is tempting! I may have to break down and hunt for it when 5.1 comes out. Major kudos to Blizz on this next patch. We hunters certainly will have an ample selection of new pet skins! :D

well I was looking through the viewer
and I ran in to this:

am I the only one that thinks that this would be a nice base skin for a solid non transparent nether serpent?

I am quite aware it the current one might be paired with the transparent skin to make up the current pet but I thought it looked quite cool :3

Yeah, I could never work out what those 'lightning' skins were for. They lack alpha masks (hence all the crap around the edges), so obviously aren't intended as skins on their own, but they do look rather cool.

Maybe they're intended for some effect, or maybe they intended them as more skins, but never got around to finishing them? I'm not sure.

indeed but it gives a nice impression on how they would look with a solid body instead of transparent *sigh* looks awesome :3

If I add the alpha mask to the skin, they become transparent like the regular ones. Out of interest, here's how they look:

The dark blue one and the red one look very nice :3

But just imagine a solid black one with yellow spots, a red one with black spots or a green one with yellow spots aka krush :3

I wonder why they decided to classify them as serpents. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be wind serpents?
