Makes me think of a chubby humming bird.

Oh yeah, those birds are all around the jade forest. I love them because they add such lovely character to places! <3

I have a quick question... where can we locate the Frost Tigers? (White tiger) or can we not see it yet until later

I did an entire search of Pandaria and only found the greyish white ones. They're probably just not in yet.

I added the mantid tanks, and also corrected the typos for "Quilin" which I somehow thought was spelled "Qilin" like the Chinese name.

Nothing is tameable, but cranes have diets so if they're not tameable I'm sure there will be a lot of people in utter shock.

I'm really hoping that the Mantid Tanks are tamable. They look awesome, and my Silithid Tanks could use some company.
Also really hoping the Dragon Turtles are tamable, and the Cranes and Quilin.

A lot of the cranes and dragon turtles have diets, s I'm 99.99% confident that they'll be tameable!

Super excited. <3
Cant wait to beast lore a Quilin!

I'm guessing they were the ethereal ones... were they kind of ghostly?
That skin has been in the database for a long time now but I'm not sure whether it's been used before now or not. Even though you won't likely ever be able to tame one (faerie dragons are not only dragonkin but also intelligent... they talk to you in Hyjal

), you should at least be able to get a minipet version in MoP. There's a critter version of it that has appeared in the beta and will probably be collectable. I ran into one the other day in the mountains around the north of Dire Maul.

There is a Fey dragon mini pet if I recall. But I don't know the skin your talking about so I'm bound to be talking about another skin

Yes, this is more of a ghostly blue look. Kind of like a spirit beast version of it

I agree with the fact that I'm sad that so far it seems that the Mantid Tanks will in fact be untamable.
Listed as humanoid is usually just because they were hasty with adding the bestial mob, but since the name is pretty humanoid sounding, and the race the tank belongs to is humanoid.. let's say it brings forth all skepticism in me.
Even though the Silithid Colossi were only tamable since Cataclysm, they are an old model, and if they were ever to get an upgrade in appearance, I see this as the only opportunity, really.
I love my colossus, but I'd be sad if I had to be stuck with the old model from back in vanilla, especially when upgraded versions roam Pandaria.
It's like holding a carrot on a stick in front of me.
I know it's not something intentional, but I'd really feel seriously iffy if all of the mobs that use that model will be proclaimed untamable.

Think of it like the Qir'aji and the Silithid. The beings like the Prophet Skeram, the Twin Emperors, etc are the humanoid leaders and controllers, while the Silithid contain all of the beast creatures that are under the command of the Qir'aji (the Tank, the Boss Tank, the Aurokk, the Flyer, and the Wasp Boss).
I'm guessing, and hoping, that the Mantids will be the same. The humanoid Mantids are the leaders, and they have bestial insects under their command that we can tame. Right now they have the flying Qir'aji models as placeholders for flying Mantid mobs in one of the zones, so it looks like Blizz is making the Mantids the MoP version of the Qir'aji/Silithid.
