Patch 12.0.5

[WerebearGuy]

Currently, the mount model only has three colours attached to it: pale gold, blue, and void.

Wait, there's a void mana wyrm mount? I don't see it on Warcraft Mounts or in any of the various clickbait mount articles on Wowhead. I know the saddled blue, armored blue, and (objectively coolest) armored gold, but I don't see a void one.

They haven't created a mount that uses the appearance, sadly. But the colour is attached to that model, as is an unused saddle colour that was probably designed for it.

It's in WCM as an unused look for that model. I elected to display it with that saddle, but without the helm since that displays its colour better:

Their treatment of the mana wyrm mount is weird. Like, did we really need three possible appearance options for the helm, one of which can only ever be used on specific colours? And of the three mounts added, two are just the blue mount with or without a helm, at the expense of adding more colours. Boring! The armour helm settings should have been configurable by the player, not features for separate mounts. It's the "Malibu Stacy with New Hat!" school of mount creation.

Oh wow, I somehow missed that when browsing the site. MAN, WHY IS THAT UNUSED?! Blizzard, man... I don't want to submit feedback to get the new grand wyrm mount changed, but man am I going to be sad if that goes unused. That is such a good color for a mount.

It looks like they’re trying make mama wyrms a Prey reward thing. They just went about it in a haphazard way. So my guess is we’ll see the void one in a future season. Who knows what amount of armour it’ll be wearing?

I noticed minor differences in the wrath & nightmare mount, but can’t forget to mention the hubris

- hubris & wrath are both blue, wrath has an extended blanket or something going towards the tail while the hubris only has a saddle.

- here’s a more interesting one, both the wrath & nightmare have the same colored armor, but the nightmare aside from being gold, has some holy spikes sticking out from the helmet as opposed to the lack of spikes from the wrath

Also I didn’t even know mana wyrm snouts were beaks until they dropped beaks

[WerebearGuy]

By the way, the mount model for the void wyrm isn't unused. It's just not something we're gonna get unless we die in Voidstorm

I noticed that when I died from being a total moron in Voidstorm that the mount was a mana wyrm. I figured "Let me just turn off the ghost effects and see what color this is", and sure enough, it's the void mana wyrm mount Wain posted on Warcraft Mounts. Well that's saddening. Not 12.0.5 info, but considering it was discussed here, I might as well keep the finding here.

It looks like we finally have a blue magmammoth that apparently appears during void assaults... but it's not tameable (yet). We know what must be done; get on ptr, target it, press F6, and beg!

Successfully found the new Warpstalker



The Hal'hadar Leystalker is found during the Cryptic Operations event that can spawn as part of Void Assaults in Eversong Woods. The NPC can't spawn as the mount version of the model, even though it is listed as one of its models on Wowhead.

Wow I always wanted this color. Looks like I’m going to add a third warp stalker to my collection if I feel like it or replace one of my warp stalkers

[WerebearGuy]

Hopefully the fella's out of the way so others can't just walk up and nuke it. I'm looking forward to that one for sure.

There are several of them in the area where the Void Strike happens and are spreadout, but they don't have a lot of health.

[Wain]

The Strike in which they appear either occurs rarely or I was very unlucky. I checked for days before I saw it. There were other strikes I saw maybe 6+ times in that time.

You won't have long once the event starts, as it ends as soon as enough NPCs have been killed. And people will mow their way through those tombs. When I finally found the event up, just one other person appeared and it was already hard to tame them before they killed them.
