Potential skins for new beasts

Unread post by Wain »

So far there are no new skins added to any beast folders for 5.4, but two of the ones that have already been mentioned for a mount and a boss could easily be used for them.

The skin used by the new tiger mount (under all its armour) is a regular Pandaren Tiger skin, but isn't quite the same colour as any existing one. It's obviously derived from the Frost skin, but is more yellowed and has tan claws. The pelt colour is similar to the "white" skin, but lighter:

As a comparison, here's the existing Frost and White (grey) ones:

The other is obviously the new Darkmoon wolf boss, "Moonfang". This one is a bit less novel in that he uses the standard white/light blue worg skin, just with glowing blue eyes which are pretty cool:

Sadly, neither of these skins exists in the relevant folder for its wild beast version, but hopefully they'll be copied across.

There's also a new "Kor'kron" wolf model that based on the Horde PvP wolf mount, but sadly they still haven't made a no-armour version of it. I was hopeful :(

Yeah, I think that was the point of the "wishful thinking" thing, and also my joking comment about it being for a gnome hunter ;)

Hopefully more skins are datamined later... there was ever a time to add a sha spirit beast, the destruction of the Vale and the last major patch of MoP would be it!

Yeah. I would love to have an actual Sha spirit beast, not just a beast with the Sha coloration, but literally a Sha-like face. So long as it wouldn't be another cat, at least.


WTB Sha Kunchong.



Haha, huge wishful thinking. But yeah, I am still pining for Kunchong. ;F
