The wyvern is found in heraldry.[1] There exists a purely sea-dwelling variant, termed the Sea-Wyvern which has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon's tail."

But yea, unfortunately this far in the game, we arent gonna see anything name-changed :<

But hey, with the release of 100k more players being introduced into the beta, what kind of beasties are you hoping to see in the next installment of Pandaria? *is hoping for black swan and the super white tiger and red/onyx turtle*
Yeah but truely does it matter? I mean it's a game in the end and a fantasy one to boot. I mean yeah if it was based on earth then they should be what you said but they are not. :/ I have no problem with them being wrongly named IF it's set on another world but IF its set on earth then my god man they should be correctly named >:(

I was just explaining what i know of wyverns in response to Chri, thats all. Im not picking at the game, just responding to the topic at hand. If i was that obsessed over whats wrong and right compared to the real world, i wouldnt be playng the game for the past what, 6, 7 years its been out? Things like that would bug me to insanity if i nitpicked at them everytime i logged in

I just... they're all so pretty. I want them to make a ghost saber update just so I can see it.

At this point, Cwrw might be becoming a pretty black tiger instead of a lion. Maybe.


Is this even the same game anymore? It's all so pretty.

Four more stone Qilin skins. All except "Jasper2" are more elaborate versions of the ones posted previously and I think they've done a really lovely job with them. I'm not sure if they're intended to replace the previous stone ones (which are very monochrome) or just be fancier versions. If there was a previous, unadorned "Jasper" I can't find it. It's a nice colour though.

I'll update the first page with these as well.

Just a guess, But 1st fight in one of the new raids is....

The Stone Guard ~

Amethyst Guardian - The Amethyst Guardian gains energy when it is within 12 yards of another guardian.
Cobalt Guardian - The Cobalt Guardian gains energy when it is within 12 yards of another guardian.
Jade Guardian - The Jade Guardian gains energy when it is within 12 yards of another guardian.
Jasper Guardian - The Jasper Guardian gains energy when it is within 12 yards of another guardian.

I really hope those are not tameable. They just don't seem to me like beasts more statues etc.

I hope they are, but that they have some sort of tie-in that makes sense. Rep based or something. Or out of Archeology or something.

Aha! Good find :) It seems very likely that's what they're for then.

I guess we'll find out soon enough what they (and the organic Qilin) are meant to be.

It seems to me they could have linked learning the taming of stone beasts (shale spiders, gyreworms etc.) to either the Therazane faction or a quest involving the Earthen. Ah well.

1st of all, while i definitely I agree with you that they do look like statues, we also already have pets like...
Image, Image and Image
which means that would not rule them out by any means. (regardless of ones personal tastes of liking or not liking statue/stone looking pets)

My opinion is that I don't think that all these skins will end up tamable mainly due to the fact I personally believe they are going to linked to the new raid, and they'll be raid bosses in the one encounter (Think Omnitron), which normally are of a to higher of a lvl to tame among other things

It would however be nice if one (or all) of these where tamable, as I think the metallic highlights added to these really make them look quite beautiful.

i would love for the organic ones to be tameable, though i dont know the backstory of how they came alive and why theres fleshy ones and stone ones (unless they somehow suffered the curse of flesh) and the reasoning behind it. Once i know that i'll be happier, but till then im sorta dreaming for organic quilins (both the real description of a quilin and these lions)
