[13195] 3 tameable scarabs in Halls Orig. (1 a new skin)

Unread post by Wain »

Earlier tonight I mentioned 4 tameable Uldum scarab skins in Obelisk of the stars:

I managed to get into reg. Halls of Origination right after that. The group fell apart, but not before downing the first boss, which is all I cared about :)

A couple of corridors after the first boss is a corridor with some scarabs that are hiding in the sand and ambush you. They were a pain to test out solo, but with the help of my shale spider I managed to thin their numbers to survive long enough to beast lore and even tame some. I died a lot :P Because of the knockbacks you really need to have just one on you, and ice trap it. There are three colours, all tameable. Each colour belongs to a different NPC, so the colours should be stable.

The most interesting is the Venomous Skitterer, which uses a skin used nowhere else (afaik), UldumScarabSkinGreen. Despite the name it's actually mostly a really pretty purple-ochre colour, with a couple of green spots. Screenshots of the tame:

The Blistering Scarab uses UldumScarabSkinRed, which is green with a couple of red spots:

It's one of the skins used by the Temple Scarab, but is also tameable as a stable skin on the Emerald Scarab I reported in the other post.

Finally, the Jeweled Scarab uses UldumScarabSkinTeal, teal blue with a couple of green spots:

It's also tameable (as a stable colour) on the Turquoise Scarab I reported in the other post. Note: its Wowhead page currently shows the Jeweled Scarab as UldumScarabSkinBlue (green with blue spots). I believe this must be old data. All the Jeweled Scarabs I saw (as they ate me alive) were of the skin in the screenshots. And after taming, the colour was stable upon repeated resummoning.

So that's one more Uldum scarab colour tameable (and as a stable colour)! That actually only leaves one Uldum skin left to find: UldumScarabSkinYellow (clay brown with yellow spots). Wowhead sadly has no record of it and it may not be used in the game yet :(
