Originally posted under taming stories-but I've deleted my post to post it here.

I was flying around, looking for Gondria when my NPCScan went off, alerting on Terror Spinner. I thought about it for a moment and decided on taming.

As I didn't know much on this guy I looked him up on Petopia-and found that he is labeled as a level 80 creature?

Thanks This one was actually reported a page or so back, and the corrected database has been submitted to Mania. It's just not live yet

Not sure if it's been reported, but the Tirisfal Bear apparently ranges in level. I'm currently looking at a level 84, so I'm guessing it ranges from 82-84 or even -85.

Wowhead actually just says "81" (no range), so it looks like their data are completely out of date. We'll have to get the range on this one ourselves. So Acherontia's sen it at 84 (as has one commenter on Wowhead). Has anyone seen other levels?

Just checked it, mine was 81:

The fey dragons at the fairy ring are level 80-85, so maybe the bear is as well?

Skarr's links to wowhead and thottbot on the site go to an npc in feralas, not to the kitty in firelands.

Thanks. Skarr doesn't appear to have an NPC id on Petopia yet, so it's sending a text search to Wowhead instead. That should be fixed soon I hope.

Cinderweb Spiderlings (using the new orange spider model, I think) aren't listed. They are not tameable; they're summoned when the player is injected with "Parasitic Infection" by the green, untameable Cinderweb Clutchkeepers at The Widow's Clutch in the Molten Front.

Looking at it, there may be more than one mob with this name, just a heads-up.



(Edit--updated color, added screenshot. I THINK they're "orange"-skinned, but they might be red.)

@Ach, that's definitely orange, yes.

Well, I was bored and was browsing petopia seeing so many ghostly spirit beasts with grey backgrounds that do not match the site. So I decided to make them with the light green backgrounds to match. Lots of editting the photos but still trying to keep the look of the beasts. Some of the particle effects are lost due to the light background but best I can do. Feel free to use these Mania and tell me if something doesn't look right and I can try to fix it.

EDIT: Fixed error in owlghost_green picture.

I'll finish Ghostcrawler and Arcturis later.[/color]

And the other two. Again, particle effects are lost to the light background.

Actually, some of them did have that background originally but were changed to grey simply because they either look too faint or just don't look much like the in-game beast against the light green

You're right though, the grey backgrounds definitely look out of place.

Spiritbinder and I were talking about it the other day and were wondering about better ways of depicting them that would allow a dark background but maybe fade into the light background colour so it looks more natural. We haven't experimented with it yet, though.

Thanks, they're definitely orange and I added some notes about them on Wowhead too. There are 3 spiders with this name, all untameable. This orange one is in Molten Front. The other two are red and occur in the Firelands raid.

I'll update the Petopia page when I get a fresh spreadsheet from Mania And add stuff about the two green broodling versions too.

Dunno if anyone else has pointed this out, but on Petopia, it says that the Cinderweb Broodlings are not tameable. I can say that they are, BUT there are two different packs of them.

Cinderweb Broodling 1 are not tameable. They spawn from a Hyjal Scout who periodically wanders up into the Widow's Clutch, says "I don't feel so good," asks for help and falls over. The spiders spawn, and despawn 30 seconds or so later.

Cinderweb Broodling 2 are tameable. These spawn and quickly patrol through the Widow's Clutch to the nest area near the center, despawning shortly after.

In size, group size, color, model, level and HP, these spiders appear identical. Their NPC IDs and tameability are the only differences.

The tameable ones probably have some trigger we don't know about yet; sometimes they seem common, and other times a full day can go by without them being spotted. They are potentially related to a daily quest.

This means there are two tameable green lava spiders right now, these and Kirix, both unreliable spawns (considering our current knowledge)--and one "red herring."

Yeah, there's a big thread about it on here. Nobody knows the pattern yet. I've asked Noah if he can say anything, and if the current untameable ones are meant to be untameable given they're otherwise just like the others

Alrighty, making sure. I was slightly confused for a moment when I beast lore'd the spider I tamed and then looked at Petopia to see that the data was wrong because I beast lore'd one of the untameable ones earlier and was all "...what."

Jaw Lock, in the 'techs' section, is labeled as being an 'instant'. It is, like Pin, a 'channeled'. I *wish* a dog could lock the enemy in place for 4 seconds without channeling it, but sadly it's not the case.

Also adding: Cinderweb Spinners are listed as Firelands when they're actually in Molten Front.

Typo in Ankha's name. On the site it's spelled Anhka.
