Proceratos sounds like a Protoceratops with a few letters taken out.

Interesting. . .
With a name meaning ''Before Horn(s?)'', maybe it's hinting at a different Dire Horn model, one that doesn't have all the spines running up and down it, a possible evolutionary precursor to the symbolic Dire Horns.

Or it could be hinting at the Devilsaur horns. The new models do kinda look hornless to me.Crotalus Horridus wrote:Interesting. . .

The ''horns'' are more like crests really, but I can see how you could call them horns and thus have their name, Devilsaur, derived from it.

Wouldn't Proceratos therefore just be a "Dire" rather than a "Dire Horn"?

I wonder if this patch will have blizzard deciding the ultimate fate of the maggot pets. i do hope they become a tameable worm variant! they just work so well!

Heh, that kinda does bring up the question of ''If it has no horns, would or should it be in the Dire Horn family?''Wain wrote:Wouldn't Proceratos therefore just be a "Dire" rather than a "Dire Horn"?
Of course, it could always have little stubs for horns (More like spikes in this case) instead of the massive ones.

Re: 5.2 New Pets Speculation(Non SB) - Dire Horn Confirmed
i think there is enough guessing about proceratos i am pretty sure blizzard didn't intend the name to mean much but the Pro in the name is probably meant to be similar to Proto-Drake or something in meaning nothing realting to horns or anything. so lets stop discussing that and discuss other things like if we might also see more maggots tameable in 5.2!

If they do keep them in I hope they unlock the other colors too, the black(grey?) with blue spots is pretty!

Re: 5.2 New Pets Speculation(Non SB) - Dire Horn Confirmed
not a big fan of devilsaur so dont think ill tame and keep.
It is however nice to see that they have taken a old model and retextured/skinned it. Though its skinn looks washed out and blurry when you add the armor on(for the armor/mount/tank ones pictured on mmo).
I find that odd but its still a rather good looking devilsaur and i prob will tame on an alt who doesnt have a full stable XD
As for the flying thing on the phoenix model..I cant really make out its head and face so atm. hate.
The monster pterodon thing looks damned awsome though! and the serpentine dragon heads...omg. i wish those would be tameable Hydra!
The spirit beaver i personaly think will be one of the elite minipets. but we shal see

While this feature of the Grimtotem Spirit Guide wasn't exactly intended... - it will still be possible in future for everyone who wishes to tame this NPC to do so

To be fair, it's not so much "guessing" as just "understanding Latin / naming methods of dinosaurs translate to"Zangor wrote:i think there is enough guessing about proceratos i am pretty sure blizzard didn't intend the name to mean much but the Pro in the name is probably meant to be similar to Proto-Drake or something in meaning nothing realting to horns or anything. so lets stop discussing that and discuss other things like if we might also see more maggots tameable in 5.2!
Anyway, I'd hope to see the rest of the maggot models become tameable.
I have to disagree.Akyo wrote:The spirit beaver i personaly think will be one of the elite minipets. but we shal see

Elite pet bosses are not capturable, so then why would this little Skollbeaver have his own pet journal icon?
Perhaps there will be a boss version and a smaller, capturable version.

Even if the boss pets aren't captureable, they need to have an icon for the pet battle UI.

Re: 5.2 New Pets Speculation(Non SB) - Dire Horn Confirmed
Because it is still technically a battle pet.
