Pets you would like to see added in Cataclysm!

I nabbed one back when they were tameable.... I got rid of it..... *balls up in a corner and cries*

Dont think it's working..lol

[Ghostridah]

First time posting here so I don't know if it's been said or not but I would love to see the Pterrordax's from Ungoro Crater become tamable.

[Kayb]

I think the ol flyin dino is a strong possibility actually, we've seen them on the goblins starting area too, which to me also increases their chances

[FuzzyDolly]

Personally I think since we can tame the devilsaurs, then ALL the dinos in Ungoro should be tameable. What I'd really like are those blue dogs from (I forget the instance) that look like the blighthounds. Nexus maybe?

Here's a crazy thought... no wait... I'll start another thread...

[kamoodle5]

I want to see more dragonhawks and warp stalkers to be tamable. Plus, I've always wondered about whether those basilisks will ever be tamable. I always thought they're annoying when they cast their natural spell at you like Mana Drain, Sleep, or Stun, but it'd be useful to have as a pet with those kind of abilities, or a smash-on-one ability for them that can do any one of those effects at a time.

I was looking around at Cataclysm's concept art and saw this thingy called a Volcanoth. It basically looks like a lava turtle. I thought it would be extremely awesome if it was tameable (exotic) with an ability called something like Molten Shield - Decreases damage taken by 50% for 12 seconds (just like a turtle's shell shield), but also causes x fire damage to any enemy that attacks it during that time. So kind of a mix of a crocolisk and turtle. I figure that the exotics are basically just buffed versions of their non-exotic counterparts anyway (think spider's web and silithid's venom web), so why not? <3 lava turtle!

[Vephriel]

Ooh, I thought the same things when I saw the Volanoth.

They just *have* to make it tameable. :3

[Nevar]

VOLCANO TURTLE!!!...thing..<want>

[Rhyela]

I think I just drooled on my shirt a little. I've only seen the un-colored version, that is just....AWESOME!!!....(Caps completely necessary in this case ) Want NAO!

[Kayb]

maybe its just me, but i have the feeling that those volcanoths are actually going to be BIG beasts, so they may not be tameable. granted devilsaurs are big too, but that the vibe i get out of them

I don't see how us taming our own mounts could possibly make us unbalanced. Pallies, warlocks, and DKs all have thier own mounts, which also count toward the achievement. I don't think we should have a stable full of mounts, but two is a good amount; one fast, one slow. Unless we could ALSO tame flying mounts.... Druids have two flight forms, after all, and tailors and engineers can make thier own mounts ... so I can't see how us having the ability to tame up to four mounts could possibly unbalance the game.

As for more pets? I'm all for cats, honestly. And kodo and zhevras. And more pet slots. If they gave us a thousand pet slots, I could fill them all up!

[Teigan]

Myself, I would really like to see "normal" dogs. Those Gilnean mastiffs look great, but I'd love to see some other types.
I would really like cats and wolves that don't have saber teeth. Why do all the cats have to be saber-toothes? Why do all the worg body types need a severe under-bite? I would also love to see wolves and bears that are not perpetually snarling and have claws more in proportion to their bodies. I really hate the perpetual snarl. I can't tame a bear, because the snarl bothers me too much. My pets are happy, not rabid!! Basically, I'd like the "normal" animals to look more natural.
Then, I want to tame one of those pink dragon-snake things that fly around the Nexus entrance and in Dragonblight! But, maybe not pink.....
But it's all moot and beside the point unless they give us more stable slots!

[Jeauno]

@ Kisa, I hear you on the mount thing. I thought the same exact thing. Hunters should be able to tame a mount. ...or turn a pet into a mount....or something....cool like that. Yanno, cause having a pet already isn't enough

@ Teigan, More normal dogs, YES PLEASE! The over bites, saber fangs, huge claws, and snarls drive me nuts as well! I would love to see some of these things vanish with Cataclysm.


And actually, on the note of stable slots. I read some where the other day that we're going to get a substantial amount more slots. The draw back (and a good one at that) is that you have to choose three main pets that can be called by call stabled pet. If you want to get one of the others, you have to visit a stable master. I think that's a pretty darn good way of doing it.

1. Sea Turtles - with spikey shells and razor beaks. Good if you get marooned and have lots of chest hair.
2. Kodos/thunderlizards/clefthoofs under the same family as Rhino (if not their own families).
3. Zhevra and Stags
4. Ants. Big ones. With spikes?
5. Elemental beasts (think Skoll, but with each of the elements)
6. Un'Goro dinos
7. Murlocs and Murkshells.
8. Sharks and Makos
9. Shoveltusks!!!
10. Hermitcrabs!

I see your point, but the problem still remains that while all those other professions/classes have special mounts, Blizz basically said, "Here, this is the mount you get." They can't choose to go out and create either a helicopter or rocket or...whatever. Tailors don't get a range of colors to choose from. Warlocks on both factions get the exact same mount. Paladins on both factions have the same mount, just a different color. So if we were given the option to just go forth and tame whatever beast we wanted to be our mount, I still think there are people out there that would whine about it. "Why don't we get to choose?" Now, if they made it to where we could only tame two ever, then maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal. But if it was anything like pets where we could just tame and release and tame again on a whim, that would probably cause some whining.

That's a very, very valid point. We can tame pets, that's already a pretty big bonus. As much as I'd love to be able to tame my own mount, its true the only fair way to do it would be to simply give the option twice and that's it.
