Battle for Azeroth creatures

[GormanGhaste]

Oh, I want pretty rat pets like the rat mount!!

[WerebearGuy]

RABBIT HYPE. I didn't know I wanted this, but I want this.

Blizzard : You cannot tame cows or zevras. They are tame non violent animals
Player: But we got rabbits...so why cant we just get to tame all animals?
Blizzard: No one ever heard of the killer zevra of of caerbannog....

sorry just had too

[Rozzana]

I hope it wasn't an accident and we get more cute friends! Rabbits and bees, what an expac this will be . I hope we also get to tame the hermit crabs and they aren't critter models only.

The skins for the hermit crabs are full resolution, so hopefully they're more than just critters. They also have access to every crab2 skin colour, which is something like 22 skins. In addition, the shell skins are a separate file and have four variants (minor variations - the shells are all very similar in colour but have little differences like sea grass or sand on them). This means there's currently a potential of 88 distinct looks o.O.

I was just thinking, they should make one with an anemone attached to the shell, like some hermit crabs do irl

In other news, I have the Beta models loading in WMV now, so I can finally upload images to the site.

That's great, Wain! Can't wait to see them

[Littlemyuu]

I know it's still early, But when will we see the spirit beats?

[Valnaaros]

If they'll be adding any, it won't be for a couple months or so. Probably when they start doing taming passes.

New tarantula model looks gorgeous for anyone who hasn't seen it:

First time seeing proper in game footage of it and ahhh I'm so in love! I need to tame that mob its amazing haha.

[Qraljar]

Also the bee mount got its animations.

Hope to see a tameable version. Good to see a flying insect that isn't using the old wasp skeleton for once.

[Valnaaros]

I love those animations! I hope they do make it tamable, either within a family of its own or in the wasp family (perhaps a name change)

[pop]

I was looking for the model name.

ravasaur

[GormanGhaste]

Thanks for the bee video, Qraljar! I want the black on black one <3

[Rawr]

Pop I'm pretty sure ravasaur is was the old world raptors are called.

[Vephriel]

I think the new ones might be too though, the collector's edition Horde mount which uses the model is called a ravasaur.

[Valnaaros]

Technically, Ravasaurs and Raptors are two separate species. The ones in Un'goro just use the same model, but they aren't the same thing. The new model isn't a new raptor model, but rather a model for Ravasaurs.

[Vephriel]

Yeah, I think they were supposed to be their own off-shoot of raptor/dinosaur, but now we're finally getting a proper unique model for them.

[Valnaaros]

Aye, I saw mention of them on the Story Forums and SoL. Maybe they'll get a spit attack ;D
