Well if they were to be exotic, so far there is 3 ferocity, 3 tenacity and only 2 cunning exotic families avalible at the moment.... you know, just saying....

Babies hush temporarily. Some will keep on crying. It's just a way to shut them up with little to no effort and that was my point. Giving a spec something shiny isn't giving it love; making all specs as equal as possible is giving them love, and Blizzard's finally almost at that point.

I don't see why hydras *have* to be exotic either. They don't look as exotic as core hounds and spirit beasts and the like and it would be nice not to feel like I need to make every one of my hunters be BM because BM has all the coolest pets. I'd like to see MM and SV get some love with some truly neat and unique non-exotics and I think hydras are the perfect solution.

*tap tap tap* Please don't call people babies, even if you mean general 'people' and not someone specific here. They have a different opinion, is all. (Mind you, that goes for forum members of any opinion - I'm not trying to call out any one opinion here.)

By the way, Taluwen reminded me that the ghost hydra isn't on the hydra page yet. I left him on crocolisks for now, but he'll go on the Patch 4.1 page as a hydra as soon as I hack my DB again.

Three heads, stomps about, has roots in Greek myth ...

Well think Ghost Hydra might be good for "Wierd one not too sure of yet" since they're the only one thats probably gonna do anything wierd more so given it's in between state at the moment. Actually managed to persuade the PTR to download so when it eventually does as I assume Hydras are tamable at the moment if broken, see if Vorsha is snipable by an Alliance charra. By all rights it should be but no harm being sure right?

Also that image you pulled up for Chimereon is gross I love it.

dont forget to beast lore some stags while your at it...you never know...since hydras and deer are at the top of the please can we finally tame them list and hydra's might have the green light, hopefully stags wont be to far behind.

Talbuks are far to cool not to be tamable XD

Hee, nice Hydra page Mania! It's incredible to see them all laid out like that.

I also noticed for the first time while going through each one that the Grey Hydra is the only model that has pupils. All of the other vanilla skins have a solid-coloured eye. /random tidbit

Oh wow thats way awesome. I now have a new page to drool over until I can finaly tame them.

Nicely done Mania!

And now I want my Trigore even more! Squiggles needs to come home!

Did folks say that their ghost hydras are still showing up as Crocolisks when Beast Lored? Are they still showing their Ankle Crack ability?

When manually untalented, do they still have Tenacity talents?

The way I read it, they were not calling anyone a baby (well, with exception being given to infant children). Tyger made an analogy that giving BM a new exotic pet to try and allay complaints over BM DPS is "like giving a baby a pacifier". I don't see that as calling someone a baby; the analogy is that babies have one way of expressing complaints, and a pacifier may stop the complaining but won't fix the problem.Taluwen and Tyger briefly argued over that analogy, but again I didn't see either of them calling anyone a baby.

I'm picking up the plain white-not-ghost one and that brilliant violet one :O They'll be Array and Nyaroca.

Since they only have one familiy skill at the time, one could surmise that they will be non-exotic. However, since this patch still appears to be in it's early stages, there still is a chance that this could change. If it turns out that they end up being exotic, one could wager a guess that they are due to get another ability. As for their current raid buff (crit buff similar to wolves and devilsaurs) it might not be a bad thing if it is the same as those pre-existing buffs as it gives hunters more choice of pets skins while still allowing them access to the crit buff. After all, wouldn't more choice in pet skins be, if nothing else, a good thing?

Aww..they are making my ghosty not a croc anymore?? ;_; I love my hydradile..Oh well. Atleast they arent taking him from me. Long Live Shenanigans!

Sure it isn't a hydralisk?

I wish they are non exotic I mean I have allways wanted one and I don't want to have to be my least fav spec just to have one ;_;

Thank you for understanding the analogy.
I was not calling anyone a baby, I was making an analogy. Anyway, now that I've had some sleep, I'm going to go see which hydra I'd like to tame.

I apologize for misunderstanding the context. That analogy isn't the first thing I think of when I read about babies on a WoW forum, but regardless i should have read more carefully.

No worries Mania. The term 'babies' tends to get used far too derogatorily when it comes to WoW.

I am personally extremely excited about this!!

Finally, my favorite beast in WoW will become tamable!
I got Devilsaurs (my #2) and Corehounds (my #3) so getting a couple of hydras will make my day.

I looked but I could not find the Hydra page.
Can someone show me the link?
