Dragons, as a concept, are not tameable. It's one of the defining characteristics. When they are in folklore, they're wild, and most fiction, taming dragons is the exception proving the rule. Even in warcraft lore, red dragons were _unwilling_slaves_ of the dragonmaw. Dragons are not in the same class as piggies, which making them hunter pets would be. Tameable dragons would be spectacle creep / "badass decay".

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
That makes sense I guess. What's the source on the sentience thing anyway? Is this a harkness test sorta thing or did Blizz make a statement at some point?
Also, we're talking proto-drakes, not dragons, xota. Dragons should never be tameable, they're basically people or above them in Warcraft. Proto-drakes are primitive animals the titans used to make the aspects and flights. None have ever shown intelligence in-game. We hunt them in Sholazar with Nesingwary after-all. .-.

Whether or not we hunt something doesn't reflect on their intelligence. We hunt Yetis and they have been shown to be very intelligence and have developed a religion.Bambu wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 8:28 pmThat makes sense I guess.

Here is a quote from Wowpedia regarding Cloud Serpents: "The origin of the cloud serpents is unknown. They are, however, not part of the "whole Aspects scene"[5] and are not really related to the classic Azerothian dragonflights."

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Yeah, same feeling, but I wanted to say most of the owlsteeds got renamed to more fitting names, they are on wowhead, and has anyone checked if there are more beasts tameable or new beasts with special effects

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
I've updated the name of them. They should soon be updated on the main Petopia site.
Aside from the name changes, nothing was made tamable or added in the most recent build.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Can someone with beta access check them? They're in Ardenweald.

Nobody is going to read this and see that I like to find ways to do things the developers don't intend for us to do.
Nor will anyone read this and know that I am mad at pink unicorns. I will not elaborate.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Aroim definitely posted them somewhere. But Aroim is such a prolific finder of cool things it might have been easy to miss themWerebearGuy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 10:11 pm I must've missed it then. Still, at least those aren't bugged like the Emerald Nightmare ones.

The nightmare spiders are both transparent and I thought I had them up for a while, but maybe I just added them in today's update:

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
In sadder news, the only known purple mawrat is now untameable because her level is too high (and she's elite).
