Cataclysm Beta - Build 12539

I remember seeing those alternate Skoll colourings a while back. I believe someone here posted them, I can't recall though.

I'm curious if they'll become new Spirit Beasts, or just regular mobs somewhere? If they're used at all that is.

They were definitely posted before. I remember them being posted with a ton of possible Spirit-ish Models that are in game files and could be possible upcoming spirit beasts.

If it's the thread I think you're talking about, I don't think I ever saw them in that thread.

But I do hope these become spirit beasts, I don't care if regular mobs or something. Gimme.


gimme Blizz you hear that, gimme gimme

[Gimlion]

I'm not sure what thread it was, but I do know I saw them here before. haha

*nods* I had wondered if the skoll skins could have been older but I just couldn't find them being shown. o_O I also think the sea turtle could have been in already from the last patch but just didn't show up in my model viewer till now. Oh well. :p

[Kaleos]

Hah, love that turtle. He's even got a little beard going on. Bowser would be an amazing name for one!

[Anansi]

It's a Tortoise, not a Turtle! Why oh why does Blizzard insist on calling their tortoises turtles? I'd expect more from Ghostcrawler of the Marine Biology PhD! And yes, it's an awesome model, I want one.

Haha, I've often thought the same thing, though the Alligator Snapping Turtle is a freshwater turtle and seems to be the inspiration behind WoW turtles.

[Anansi]

Yes but even that has flippers rather than feet. Clawed, heavy flippers but flippers all the same. And like turtles that has a more elongated flat body rather than the shorter, rounder body of the tortoise (and the WoW "Turtles"). But I agree the aesthetics are very clearly a design base for sure.

[Vephriel]

Ah, true true. Then again WoW turtles seem to inhabit both land and water, so they're some weird amalgamation of both I guess. XD

[Fael]

Snapping turtles are awesome! At least there will also finally be a proper turtle in the game, having flippers and all.

I noticed the mastiffs have better animations, even their jowls are moving! Is that new?

Ooooh!!! I'd love to see that.

[Saturo]

Jowl = Mouth flaps, right?
If so, it's great news! I assume they've fixed the "tongue trough jaw" bug too, along with the bad run.

[Vephriel]

*nods* The jowls are the floppy bits that hang from the mouth. It looked bizarre when the dog was moving or shaking its head and they would just remain completely stiff.

[Razzy]

Ooooh!!! I'd love to see that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C3JZ6HQrbY Just look at the mastiff behind the worgen. Those floppy lips make me want a mastiff even more.

[Vephriel]

Eeee so much better!

[Kalliope]

All I can say on turtles is that "turtle" is easier to spell. That was probably the deciding factor. xD

Also what people need to remember is wow Tortises/turtles aren't the same as normal turtles. They only have a top shell.

It's a reverse of this; http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/ ... ssil-shell actually.

Though honestly if they atleast update the models for the old world turtles, I'll be happy.

An ancient sea turtle

It's about time we got a new turtle(tortoise?)! All through BC and Wrath the family has been ignored. I don't think there even are any turtles in Outland or Northrend.

All the turtles above level 60. There are two, and only one is tameable.
