There was an old model horse with zebra colors in addition to the zhevra. Guess it's replacing that... but that was never used, so it's odd.

Also odd they didn't use this horse model for the zebra:

Wonder if the demon horse will be an update for the old lock mount or just be left unobtainable like the old version.

I know the last thing we need is another damned cat lol but I really hope they make non-loa version of this and with a variety of colors. The model on this beats the pants off every cat in the game IMO. WTB a lion like this

Man, the updated diemetradons look really cool but I wish their eyes were more similar. :( I loved how vibrant and full-of-personality the old models eyes were.

I'm fairly sure I gave him a list of all beasts so far datamined anyway and then some from older expacs.

I was very specific. :lol:

Gonna be sad when we find out that probably, half of the creatures datamined that we're hyped about aren't tameable.

I think ones that will be are Pterrodax, Trilobites, Komodos, Bees, Dimetrodons, and Frogs. Everything else that I can immediately think of isn't a guarantee.

Would be cool if they did a unique way of taming for pteras, like direhorns. Either a tome or item, or rep.

I was just thinking about that, actually. They might tie Pterrodax taming to the Pterrodax rep.

Most on that list I really like.

But I also really want Brotosaurs. I'm assuming Hermit Crabs will just be thrown into the old crab family. I really hope the cobra and the eel snakes become tameable, and also an unarmored beast version of that Loa Devilsaur model, also the new Ravasaur model.

The larger bloodtick, while cool, would be so/so for me. I would much prefer the ones listed above.

I still would like Kunchong. :lol:

Aye. Hermit Crabs, the Cobras, and the Eel snakes are a given. Would be strange if they aren't made tamable. Assuming there is an unarmored devilsaur model, then that, too. The blood tick, on the other hand, I don't see as a likely pet. There isn't an existing family for it that it could fit in well. Depending on its origin and such, it may be more of an aberration than a beast.

New Hippos are definitely going to be in the Riverbeast family. Funny how they still use the tail thwack animation despite not having a proper tail. Just looks like they're giving the enemy a good ol' butt thwack.

I would hope that the pterrorwings are a given, considering the nature of the expansion. Aside from that, I'd say the only "uncertain" tames are the Brontosaurs and the bipedal Trollbeasts.

Yeah, they'd have to make it a new family. The Nerubian flyer counterpart I could see being part of the Spider family, the tick.. not so much.

And really, while it would be cool, I wouldn't miss much if it wasn't tameable.

I can't really see the blood tick being a viable pet, anyway. All it would take is for the enemy to puncture that blood sac and it would either be killed or seriously injured.

There are currently nine variant for the mechanical tiger. It looks like they are the Mechdogs of BfA :D They can be viewed on Mmo-C.

Jeez. Wonder if there's a more organic version of them. They kinda seem like the Loa, but mechanical, so maybe?

I just noticed something interesting about the Mine Spider models. The back of the abdomen almost seems like it is missing something. There is this weird indent there.

Those new reaptors are TOTALLY David Bowie. I want one, specifically the brown one with blonde feathers.
