Midnight Alpha/Beta Thread

[Valnaaros]

A blue variant of the Void Jellyfish


A far better view of the Void Flyer


You can't see it very well even in the video, but briefly a creature that might be using the Crawg rigging is moving around. It is more elongated and pointier than the crawg


A far away view, but it looks like it might be the Plant Gorilla


Purple variant of the Fungal Dragonhawk


A blue variant of the new Water Strider

[Valnaaros]

It looks like a new Nerubian Flier model. It doesn't look like the existing ones from WW, more like the old ones from Wrath. Could be a blood tick from BFA, but I'm not sure.



In regards to the lizard/feline creature, I wouldn't be surprised if they are part of a new family.

[Valnaaros]

I saw the panel video just now, the lizard creature with the two tipped tails use an entirely new skeleton, and the Roothorns use armoredon animations, I also saw another one, I don’t know if it’s the same or if it has a smaller horn variant

Are you talking about this one? It does look different. Could be a different variant or a different creature


There is a Mandragora seen walking by briefly behind some foliage, so Eversong will have Madragoras. It is very brief, but the "faces" of this one are more yellow/golden, which non of the existing variants are like, so it might be a new one. Edit: Looking at it again, each of the faces are also glowing.

[WerebearGuy]

Oh god, more mandragoras? Blizzard PLEASE.
EDIT: It shows up at ~10:24, and yeah that's 100% a mandragora. I was so hooked on the bird that I didn't even look over there. I'm a failure as a mandragora fan...

Blizzard released a short (I hate this format so much) that talks about the Devourer spec for Demon Hunters, but who cares about that. What's important is that we get a real good close-up of the roothorns, including a red variant. The animations look different than what we have with scalehides and clefthooves...

[DannyGreen]

I'll take 10.

Really wish I could roll up with the Fungal Fen striders, but alas. SV
Maybe they'll make the fungal thing a talent like the undead book.

[Valnaaros]

The animal walking next to the Haranir might be the earlier creature that I posted that is very difficult to see, but looks like is using the Crawg rigging.


Another view of the new plant bird

[WerebearGuy]

@Danny I hope it's an easy book to obtain. I really don't wanna grind my butt off for a rep again, not after they stole our vorquin foals.
@Val Yeah that's 100% the crawg skeleton. It's also walking alongside that NPC, so that gives me high hope that it'll be tameable.

They actually use the same animations as the KSM armoredon mounts, which should have been given to DF thunder Lizards, armoredons, and DF rhinos ages ago, hopefully they do that to them during Midnight, the current animations keep me away from those pets

Right now you can use water striders as SV hunter, but it’s annoying to summon it. Switch to BM spec, call your pet, and then switch back, and bam, water strider. Same steps go for stone hounds, tephratennae, beakers, and Tula’rhun

I'm loving the new fungal and plant creatures from the haranir map. That plant raptor (following the haranir hunter on the trailer) is my favourite thing, can't wait.
