Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread

Hahaha. I'm crazy..

You were also the first person I thought of as well and I'm stoked for you. Ahha.


Nothing had me extreme hype for this xpac until today. Holy crap.

I appreciate it, haha.

Though I know I'm not the only one who was after Kunchong. Definitely happy to see them, though. And Aqir Goliaths too. Those were my main ones. Though it's probably the buzz everyone is feeling that is the most enjoyable.

Oh, and of course there's the Cloud Serpents. Bugs are my bread and butter, but Cloud Serpents have always been cool.

Now that undead are tameable... what exactly constitutes as undead?

Are there any creatures uniquely tameable as undead that aren't just variants of hounds/ Raptors/rex? Maybe the WotLK spider people?

It has to be a beast. The Spider people, Nerubians, are a sentient race, so they will never be tamable.

How about the Nerubian Flyers and Swarmers? Those felt kind of like a borderline case.

They seem more animalistic, but I think that they are still considered a sentient race.

[WerebearGuy]

Damn. It is the first day of the taming pass, so I guess some stuff is broken that isn't the shell of the kunchong. Wonder what other broken bugs there are out there. I think Kri'vin does when it's a Mantid invasion in the Vale, but that's not until later this week.

[Valnaaros]

Wickerbeasts remain untamable.

Hmh, I suppose so. They do feel like they're mostly animalistic. That said, I checked them on WoWhead and no changes there.

[WerebearGuy]

Wow that's a big sow, holy cow.

[Qraljar]

I do think it's worth it for somebody to check out the Nighthold Scorpids.

If that's currently possible, of course.

[Valnaaros]

Betsy does not retain the corruption effect or the ribbons.

The Sra'thik Kunchong are tamable

I did. They are listed as tamable when you beast lore them, but when you try to tame them it says that they cannot be.

Oh, then I missed that. Weird, but oh well.

On a similar note. Not sure if it's going to be possible, but I feel like it might be worth to check The Golden Serpent and Reban in King's Rest and Merektha in Temple of Sethraliss. WoWhead has all three listed as being tameable, but well, you know..

[Valnaaros]

I'll be heading to those locations next.

I've noticed that recently, in many cases, if something is in a raid or dungeon, it will be listed as tamable but will not actually be tamable. Anzu, Ironcrusher, the crystal scorpids, Raigonn, etc.

Exactly!

And it would be a shame to get excited about those three tames only to find that they aren't tameable after all. And if they aren't, then the new dark blue toad (add spawn in Waycrest) probably isn't either.

[Valnaaros]

Guarm is now tamable!

[braunmar]

The Rotting Monstrosity is a devilsaur

Fenri is also tamable!

[Qraljar]

Side note, Gluth, which is also a raid boss, is tameable.

[worgpower]

They’re all awesome, I wish to see more maldraxxus beasts, along with more mammoths, and newly tameable beasts

Anyone mind checking this? Screenshot shows a critter toad, but 3D model shows a normal toad. If it's the former, I'll be happy because the little toad is cute.

Looks like Blizz changed the model to be a proper beast rather than a weird low res toad
