Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
If it is like the Island Expeditions, then they may not be made tamable. I know that there are certain buffs and such that are obtained by killing different mobs in Torghast, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you eventually gain currency based off of kills.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
This is the name I've (temporarily?) given these armoured spirit creatures from the Maw. Most are classed as Beasts, and they could make pretty interesting Spirit Beasts, but perhaps they'd be better off with those skeletal / elemental hounds, or the other "shadow beasts" on that page.
I based the name I'm giving them on a search of NPCs that use that model. There was no naming convention that was completely consistent, but a lot had "seeker" in their name, and one was called "soulseeker" and it seemed to fit.
I took these shots using Wowhead, since WMV doesn't render the shadow effects right now.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
I fear that the Torghast location, unless there's one somewhere else, might be the nail in the coffin so to speak.Pokcmvmxckm wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 4:14 am I dearly hope the https://shadowlands.wowhead.com/npc=152 ... remorbeastis tamable, its got to be one of my personal favorite models in Shadowlands. It uses a modified Dragon rig, but its flagged as a beast witch gives me hope. Its a mob in Torghast, when you kill it, it drops a unique anima power up that lets you chose from one of 2 powers. The way I would envision taming it would work is Hunters would get an extra chose to spawn a tamable version, forgoing the power ups for a new spooky friend!
Like Islands and Visions I can't see them flagging creatures inside as tameable because it's such a special scenario and taming something could mess with the system inside. I really wanted one of these too though. ;_;
Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Personally, I find it a bit weird since it uses the dragon rig as mentioned before. Its animations are mainly tailored around being big, hulking, lumbering. It'd be hard to see it being the size of, say, a Devilsaur or smaller and using that run animation, while it follows you on your mount, or its swim animation, which utilizes its wings heavily which it does not have. But that's just me. If that stuff irked me, I'd probably just not get it- so it's not an argument for me for why it shouldn't happen.
It could be for Blizzard, though.

On Shadowlands, if you target your pet, they turn their head toward you.
Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Oh how awesome! I hadn't noticed this
Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
I only spotted one stone turtle in the area, while there were a number of regular gold dragon turtles about. I'm wondering if the stone version is a rarer spawn in place of the regular one, like we saw in Suramar. This is just a guess at this stage. It was definitely not a vignette/rare/named beast, it had a generic name, but there was only the one.
I'm hoping I can find one of the magenta/bronze/jade ones somewhere. They're also very eye-catching.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Most things there are untameable at the moment, but fortunately there are still some fun things to tame.
There are at least two tameable colours of Gargon (with 2-3+ more untameable colours), and they look pretty awesome! Here's Doom:
The other tameable colour is the pale white one.
All the colours of the new bat model can be seen in that zone, but they're currently untameable, as are the bloodfeaster-like animites (the latter are all aberrations).
Most unexpected though are the tameable *horses* (as Stags). Yes, regular horses. They're called Sinrunners, and if they're intended they're the first regular horses to be tameable.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
But that would require Blizzard considering the small ones good enough to be hunter pets and for the big G'huun ones to get swimming animations.

If only that would be the bear form of Venthyr druids, and we would get the Venthyr as allied races. Now that would be really nice.Wain wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 12:26 pm

I'll be waiting on the highland, with its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow, that's my way of life.
When the mountains on the highland, and the nature is surrounding me, when the wind blows, that's all I need.
