legendary pets would be a combination of insanely long respawn times, tracking the pet like pandaria rares, and, engaging the pet in a challenge tame like in the molten front!
And require an item to summon, somewhat like Alani.

Wait, why did I suggest that? -_-

and if you fail to tame it, debuffs you with a week long debuff that prevents you from re-engaging the pet until the debuff wears off.

and requires you to pay 1000 gold for attempt.

and has the old happiness meter you have to keep feeding.

ok im getting silly.

I do love solo challenges like the challenge tames though.

This is going to be rehash for people following this thread, but my arcane wyrms video is up, in case you want to see the wyrms in action (particularly the new colors): http://youtu.be/lTcv_J2k97E

my god Kalliope, do you work in radio????
if you don't you SHOULD, my god your voice is divine.

and did anyone else find themselves trying to shift camera angle with their mouse while watching this video?

Thanks, Wain! Wouldn't've gotten it done so quickly without your discovery, as usual. xD

*spits soda everywhere*

OH MY GOD WE CAN TAME THESE?

I'M SORRY BUT I'M SO HAPPY, I FORGOT WHERE MY CAPS KEY IS TO TURN OFF CAPS.

Seriously though, I was just about to be sad face about some changes but NOPE NOPE NOPE. This is as close to taming dragonkin (ok I know they're not dragons, but humor me) as I will get. FAN.TAS.TIC. <3

Also, love the video.

I know what I'm doing when 5.1 hits. XD

Definitely eyeballing the white one...I'll have to go find the crappiest grey level 1 bow I can find so that I don't accidentally nuke it when pulling it down!

They were white before 5.1.

Something tells me they were made red specifically so they could be another color for taming. XD

Do these get on the ground like regular serpents after tamed, or do they remain flying? Your video didn't show that. D: I wanted to see how they idled/moved after taming. xD

They float/fly at your side. The idle animation is nice, but when you move around their wiggle is sped up to a point where it looks a bit ridiculous.

I left that part out since the wild ones actually curl up more often than all that. :)

Thanks.

Those bother me a LOT less than actual serpents, so I may actually tame one. Though yea, they should speed that down, lol.

I don't dislike regular serpents, I have one on Rin. I've just never meshed with one, or a hyena, on Ziarre. :c

I hope they're able to slow it down too. It's a lovely undulation, it just doesn't have the right pace once they're shrunk down.
