I think your new SB is right here:

That said, the turtle with the crystals on it is awful sexy. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a SB, but it's likely to be a rarespawn, a la Terrorpene.

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

Aye, it's already been speculated that the porcupine is probably the missing SB from patch 5.1; we're hoping to get another SB a little more suited to the theme of patch 5.2. :) Or, some of us are, at least. No harm in a little fun speculation on what they might add and what we would like to see.

I bet it is one of the raid boss called Tortos.

You've said this a couple of times already. While it is likely to be a raid boss, that doesn't mean that we can't speculate (which is what this thread is for) that they might use the model elsewhere in the game. It's not exactly unusual for Blizzard to do that.

If that turtle model does become tamable, it will definitely take the place of Terropene, and become my main tank pet again :) I looooove the blue crystal look!

Even though I suspect we'll be dealing with something more complicated than footprints this time, I definitely fangirled over this idea. IRL. Out loud. Thankfully not within earshot of anyone. :lol: At least we wouldn't have trouble spotting the tracks, right? >_>

Agreed. It's almost certainly the boss model, but it's possible as with Terrorpene that we'll get a tameable version. "Children of...."

Armoured Dinos?.. not likely.

There's a link to the patch notes after the second picture - it's easy to miss due to the GIANT PICTURES OF DINOSAURS. :lol:

So it's a confirmation of its existence? Never mind me then, I thought there was a word what Dire Horns are actually supposed to be.

Ah no, it's still just logical guesswork that dire horn = triceratops, but we don't have that officially confirmed yet. :)

Although these things are badass and awesome, I feel compelled to point out that a yak is basically that with fur instead of scales. I am gonna be getting one of the Dire Horns though. The new pteradaxx model is also fantastic, when I saw it I thought it was from another game; the graphics were so good. Fingers crossed for that as a pet too.

I am really happy to see more devilsaur skins; they are amazingly loveable creatures. And Dire Horns, well, I can hardly believe it. I don't know if I can make room for one, but I'm thrilled nonetheless.

I would love for there to be a tameable version of the blue turtle. I loved my Terropene enough not to part with him for a dragon turtle, but that blue skin is just wonderful. Still, really pleased with these new pets.
