Windserpent Tongues o.O

[Aquillian]

So I'm leveling a lowbie hunter just for fun on Earthen Ring and stumbled across Hayoc while questing this afternoon. Naturally I couldn't pass up such a gorgeous rare pet. After taming her and heading out to continue questing, I paused in the water to skin a crocolisk and noticed something adorable. Windserpents flick their tongues out when they swim XD

Maybe I'm just slow to realize this, but I was terribly amused. I already loved their swimming animation, but the tongue makes it even better!

...and just because I'm excited -- bonus screenshot of itty bitty hunter and her new pet. Who hardly shrank in size and holds aggro stunningly well! http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc33 ... 143404.jpg

Wind serpents are so beautiful, I myself had Hayoc a long time ago and loved him. Grats on your pet!!!

[Aquillian]

Haha, thanks! I had a cobalt windserpent on my main hunter for a long time, I've been missing how slithery they are, so this was the perfect chance ^_^

[Dewclaw]

Grats on the tame. The tongue thing is too cute!

[Aquillian]

Thanks, I thought so too XD I had pet snakes when I was younger, I remember how silly it feels when they do that on your hand, so seeing the windserpent do it made me all giggly. haha :B

[Akyo]

ive never had that modely myself for long so i never noticed the tongue o.o
But that does make em a bit cuter XD.

I love the wow serpenty creaures, snakes specially. i find em rather majestic with the great hood and fierce face. and tongue is so cute <3

[Aquillian]

Yeah the snakes are awesome. I had one for PVP for a while, I loved it -- great looking and very handy for marksman PVP, people dispell the serpent's poison instead of your stings, giving you time to chimera them >:3 It's fun re-leveling a hunter, it gives me an excuse to tame the models/pets I never really tried on my main hunter (and can't until Cata, since his stables are filled by rarespawns x_X)

[Akyo]

now i wanna go and tame a Snake q-q but all my hunters are rather full.

[Aquillian]

That's when you know it's time to roll a new one! >.> *says the girl with 3 hunters and 3 druids*

[Akyo]

but i have already 4 hunters on my main realm q_q and only two free char slots that im saving for worgen hunter and another worgen(mage/druid)

[Sarayana]

Grats on the tame! I love the white wind serpents. I'm definitely getting one in Cata, perhaps a red Outlands one too...

Too cute with the tongue by the way. I don't usually zoom in (unless it's specifically to admire the way my pet or mount moves) so I often miss little nuances like that.

[Vephriel]

I wonder if the Outland models have a tongue?

[Saturo]

I wonder if the Outland models have a tongue? :lol:

They do not. They do, however, have the skeleton for a tongue (sounds ridiculous, I know), if you check the model closely you can see a piece of it's head periodically moving a bit, because of a fluke with the tongue-animation.

Grats on the tame!

I'm just going to have to run around with my Hayoc a while and watch for the tongue!

[Fael]

That's so neat! They are such beautiful pets.

[Aquillian]

She is beautiful isn't she? =) Hehe Zedxrgal, the clutchmother is one of her other pets! Hooray fellow tallstrider appreciators ^_^ And yeah, come cataclysm, I've got so many pets to 'get back' that I miss... my old black devilsaur, a cobalt windserpent, my beloved duskwing eagle, mazzeranache... man I can't wait!
