Wowhead reports: new beasts?

Unread post by The Insect Man »

The following turn up on the Wowhead page for beasts added in the expansion:

http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=40657#. - basking cobra, flagged tameable, new skin?

http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=40657#. - water snake erroneously given as tameable croc

http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=44568#. dune rattler - python style snake listed as tameable serpent (is this the infamous wolf snake?)

http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=44595 - sand slitherer, ditto

http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=48188#. siltwash terrapin - marine turtle model marked as tameable (assume this must be a mistake)

http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=47201 Desert Fox, the brown fox model, marked as wolf, again presumably just an error.

Don't know how accurate Wowhead is, and most of the above look like simple errors, but the 2 tameable pythons and the new cobra skin are worth a look.

I'll have a look about and see if I can find any of these. I would LOVE a terrapin, they're so cute.

The second link is identical to the first, as a heads up.

The first link, the snake, is the brown skin, which can be found in Sholazar, among other places.

The dune rattler does look like the former wolf-snake.

Damn me, is that really just the tan serpent skin from Sholazar? Apologies, could have sworn it was more black/red patterned on Wowhead. Must just be the lighting.

Understandable error - it looks different in the Wowhead viewer, but I opened up the viewer for the SB serp and there it was, the same model. So even though it didn't show up clearly, it was definitely identical.

But the wolf snake was made untameable. :/

Pretty sure Wowhead is wrong here. >_<

I'm pretty sure the basking cobra and the two python models have been in Tanaris for quite a few patches now. The basking cobra (brown skin) has been tameable for some time. The pythons remain untameable despite what Wowhead says.

I checked out a terrapin again in this latest patch and they're still untameable too. That's not surprising... they'd look absurd as they were flopping along into combat ;)

Unfortunately Wowhead remains quite a bit behind in their updates. It makes it hard to cross check :(

The Siltwash Terrapin (found in Thousand Needles) cannot be tamed at this time HOWEVER they do have a diet listing, so I'm curious about what they're doing there.

I assume that by the water snake, you mean the Stillwater Slitherer? I found that one myself and checked up on it. Alas, not tamable. :(
Wowhead Cataclysm, although going an excelent job, isn't completely accurate and probably won't be until Cata hits live :(
