New Hydra model, courtesy of Wowhead.

Never before have I wanted to tame one so much.

[MaximumOverdrive]

Neat...but I see the lion mount in there! Looks pretty cool!

[Vephriel]

Ah, I was just looking at that concept art today:

I think of Tails from Sonic on that one last one, heh. That or Vulpix uses Tail Whip...

But that Core Hound one is pretty sick...and the silithid one...that's a lot of stamina...be good for pvp. Altho I will miss the Core Hounds original ability, used that in certain raids to slow cast speed...

The Spirit Beast one...mmmm...I guess it's not bad...

[Kalliope]

OMG, I want to see more of these buffs!!!! This is AWESOME!

[Shinryu Masaki]

That new hydra models looks waaaayyyy too much like an evolved Metroid! The eyes, the fangs, and general models of the heads. O____O

Wth Is that core lust?

[Opreich]

Apparently it is not a Hydra and is in fact Chimaron a boss in Blackwing Descent, a twisted experiment of the Old Gods and Dragons.

I'm gonna be shocked if that makes it to live....but can you imagine how solo taming would go if that buff stays if your pet is gone?

True, but according to MMO Champion's database on the new unreleased beta built, Tame Beast doesn't reduce our armor by 100% anymore, and while not noted on the main page, checking the skill's data shows that it will last 10 seconds instead of 20!!

That should releive some stress when we're taming something rare! If haste still affect Tame Beast in Cataclysm though, I wonder what time we can get it down too by stacking haste gear and buffs.

That said they have just used a hydra skelly, and it does not stand on it's legs in the same way it does in the illustration, it has 3 not 2 heads, nor the long creepy mouthed tail... Which is fine I guess, not like they dont recyle model skellies from time to time...

Nihilum seems to have a lot more of the pet abilities than anyone else.. scroll down they are under hunter changes..

[Daranara]

Oh man, that thing's kinda spooky.

[Victorelle]

creepy

[winny]

I also find it rather creepy

[Teigan]

Even if hydras became tameable, I'm not sure I would want that thing following me around. It's awesome, but creepy. Like a pet Cthulu.

[Saturo]

[...]a pet Cthulu.

Must. Have.

[Teigan]

Now that you mention it...Tentacle Strike crits for 1,000,0000! Bwa-ha-ha!
(Blizz, give that thing some tentacles!)
