Where is that void boar located? I don't think I've ever seen one.

I'm so so pleased with this boar revamp, I feel they really did a great job at staying faithful to the look and colours of the originals, the new fur patterns look amazing and gives them a lot of texture! :D

those are found on the Rexxar fight of Horrific Visions, one's also a battle pet, there's no tameable ones though

The Hyenas and Darkhounds look at the Boar update and cry a little.

Shame about the void pigs then. Would've loved to have void-tinted zombie pigs.

On a better note, I found the fifth shardclaw skin. Love this tint.

It was in a pretty easy to reach location, at least the one I found. It was "Shardclaw Cub", and that was the only skin I saw spawn on it. Did you find yours at Mauler's Outlook? Or somewhere else?

Really hope this patch makes the animal Devourers tameable or it'll probably be quite meager as far as pet tames go.

I really like those new Devourers, too. The head of like a Starship Troopers Warrior Bug with the body of a Crawg.

I just realized why I like the appearance of those devourer crawgs. They kind of resemble the emperor sea strider from the Discovery Channel documentary "Alien Planet".

No that was the one I found I just didn't go in there the 1st time I went looking

I'll be honest, I don't like the new warp stalker at all. It looks squished and different and the horn shape change is really throwing me off. If it's just a fancy new mount that's fine, but I'd actually be devastated if this was a new version that replaced the old ones.

I like them. I think they look good, but they'll probably not replace the old ones. They don't right now, and as of now, there's only one skin for it, which is the green (same color as the datamined TBC Warp Stalker mount so I'm assuming a tie-in)

But it would be great if they added all the skins the original Warp Stalkers have and sprinkled a few around Outland as rares or something. They look too cool and nice to go unused.

Interestingly, the horns actually make them look a bit closer to their concept art.

With the boar revamps, the armour geosets and art are separate from the base textures, so any boar can now be armoured. It's a beautiful update. The artist did a fantastic job :)

That is what I was thinking, Qraljar. The new model does look more like the original vision for Warp Stalkers than what we ended up getting in TBC.

Sadly, there doesn't actually seem to be a non-saddled version of the Maldraxxus fly in the database. The base model is the mount, even though it doesn't have "mount" in its name. The mount saddle texture is separate, however, so it should be trivial to make a non-mount version.

The reason I'm taking so long to get up model shots, and the reason I'm barely responding on here, is that it's taking a very long time to sort them out. The texture files are still unnamed and I'm working through them all now, assigning them names, and it's a big job. Luckily I took the day off work (not for this, I thought maybe I'd get to relax on my birthday, but this landed instead :P )

Looks like I’ll be replacing all the draenor boars I have on my characters with the updated Azeroth ones, and I’m looking forward to it all, and gryphons also received new, more lively, running animations
