Retired /extinct????

[Ryai]

Part of me is wondering if Mazz is the new Clutchmother. Meaning the Strider Clutchmoter skin will be made extinct and Mazz is taking that role over. Knowing Blizz wouldn't surprise me.[/color]

With the fact Blizz is putting in previously untamed skins; IE Trachela's mate, the GREEN 2head Carrion Bird and the Green Warpstalker, I am now in serious doubt that the Clutch Mother is being retired. I mean in the fact that her skin will be untameable and extinct. Blizzard is already showing they're even opening higher level pet familes [wasps atm] up for lowbies. Meaning while Clutchmother herself may be gone, her skin may possibly still be around. This could also be the same for Echayekee and Sian-Rotam, it could be Blizz is going to make the skins available without long quest chains. I mean they opened up the Sian and Shy quest for Alliance as it was extremely unfair for alliance to be unable to have any access to not only a 'rare' lion but also the rare blue tiger skin too.

That makes perfect sense Ryai. Thanks. Hopefully she'll be back by my side once we get our new slots then.

I found out i had the Beta last night, and id like to help out in whatever way i can. Finding out whats retired/extinct is one of my main concerns for Cataclysm. Perhaps one of you more senior members can give me "assignments" per-se, to go and check some stuff? Not really TOO In the know about a bunch of the pets, but this site is a great resource, so i shouldnt have too much of a problem tracking things down.

Prepare to be bombarded with requests.

I think we're using Gala's thread here as a rough guideline for those who got in. Congrats on getting in!

I'd like to see another floating island of tallstriders with the clutchmother's skin like they have with those purple birds in Terokkar. Then we'll know for sure they'll be safe, no matter what.

...or, since Azuremyst Isle has tallstriders, why not put the clutchmother there?

[Aweena]

there are pink tallstriders in barrens btw so its not gonna be a "rare" skin but havent seen if theyr tamable yet
oh and i think tauren hunters start with one now or was it a clutch colour i forgot

I found this in the pet spreadsheet Mania posted in another thread somewhere. Says they're level 31-32, and are new. Evidently they have a glittering effect prior to taming, but do not keep it after being tamed.

Deviate Plainstrider Tallstrider - tallstriderskinpink 31 32 Southern Barrens New 12266 Does not keep the glittery effect.

right at the start of the video to the right you see a giant blue buzzard flying. i beleive thats the rare Vultros still alive and kicking

[Koriani]

I have a request to submit for ya!

I'm pretty sure they'll still be there - I've not read anything that indicated they were messing with this Dungeon. But are the purpley-red hyenas that spawn in the Scarlet Monestary still available/tameable/there?

I'm thinking they are like I said; but since I had to give up that Hyena when BC launched due to lack of space (and its the only Hyena I ever loved) - I really want to go back and get my Jasiri again; I hated giving him up . But gotta wait for Caty to launch with the extra spaces (four pets which are either unavailable or rare spawns means no more swapping out for new pets lol - I could drop the rhino if I have to but I'd rather just wait till launch unless for some unknown reason they are gone).

Taken from another thread but thought I'd post it here:

from my observations the Strider Clutchmother is gone

This is extremely heart breaking news for me. Looks like Skoll or Dred will be going on a unscheduled vacation. I am more attached to my Dred then Skoll so he'll probably go but that leaves me without a pet I've grown to love. CURSE YOU BLIZZ!!!! /shakes fist

[Aeladrine]

I'm really glad that I coughed up the gold for my last stable spot, then! Because she's who I put in there. I had figured that, if Darkshore is getting flooded, she'd probably be gone.

I was regretting it for a bit, but now I'm glad I did it.

Looks like Skoll or Dred will be going on a unscheduled vacation.

It is possible, and even probable, that the stablechanges come before such overwhelming changes as changes in mobs.

This.

That said, I will still be taming the clutchmother on Babykalli.
