The Triceratops mounts remind me of Taurok 2, when you rode the Triceratops with rocket launchers xDDD

The red triceratops is stunning. I really hope we get that colour to tame as well, it's absolutely perfect!

I don't know why, but the heavily armored Triceratops mount reminds me of a spikier, battle-ready Atramedes. :lol:

*fervent nod* I think that's my favourite pick, if we had a choice between all the skins we've seen so far.

I do hope we have a good selection of colours if they do indeed become tameable. It would be a shame to be limited to just one or two (since we haven't seen the others without armor or saddles).

I wouldn't be surprised if the red riding pterodactyl became the raiding meta mount.

Lol Veph, you and me seem to have a very similar taste in mount colours. :lol: I will farm the heck out of those pterodactyls.

The gold one looks kinda cool.

However, it pales in comparison to the almighty THUNDER PTERODACTYLS!

Glad to see I'm not missing out on anything great this year.

I sent in an idea to Blizzard about having the Glorious achievement give you an Armored Cloud Serpent, but I guess that's pretty much out of the question now. Maybe, just maybe, they'll like the idea of an Armored. . . well. . .

Any ideas?

If no one's seen them already, you can see the animations for almost everything on this page.

I'm not going to lie. I'm disappointed in the fact they're using the proto-drake animations *again* for the pterodactyl. Scrolling through the animations though, I can't find a proper 'fly' cycle, so I'll go with it being unfinished for now. Personally, as cool as the proto-drakes look, I found them hard to fly on because they were all over the screen. But the pterodactyls don't seem finished, so we'll see.

The triceratops seem to have some completely unique and brand new animations though!

I think the animations look fantastic on the new pterodactyls myself, but I've always been really fond of the proto-drake skeleton. :)

This is only a guess, I have NO info. But if Noah is involved I suspect we'll end up with all colours available as tameables, at least eventually. But I wouldn't be surprised if one is a new rare.

Oh don't get me wrong, they look awesome, I just find it's a pain to be flying around with. And I always thought the wings looked too... 'floppy'.

dunno why, but your comment reminded me of futurama when Prof.Farnsworth says "Give me back my floopy face!"

Loving the new models so far, that red panda is soooo cute :3

Going to be a long time before I'll get a chance at even getting those mounts, but...will get there!

Protos are my fave dragon type in all of WoW. They are really quite unique compared to the other classic fantasy type dragons. Also they prove evolution exsits in Azeroth! :lol:

lol, you kind of mean like the evolution of Trolls---> Night Elves ----> High Elves :P It's been in there, but takes a little of out of game looking into (the troll to NE thing was in one of the few issues of Warcraft magazine).

Well they have always been the missing link in the dragon's timeline. They've said so since WOTLK. You don't really need to look out of game to find it also. It's in the name :lol:

Now, if only they would bring all the other mounts and such up to these graphics. I really do hope that they are working on this.
