I was able to locate and tame the "paint" creatures. They retain the effect after being tamed. Here are a couple of them

Awesome visual effect. Hope we can get an item later down the line that lets us put that paint effect on any pet, but I doubt that'll be a thing. We haven't had anything fun like that since the oil and urine effects. Either way, it's good to see them. Are they easy to find, or are they tied to quests/dailies?

Oh wow that’s amazing, did you also see the paint crazed thornmaws and potatoads. Happy to see more pseudo spirit beasts coming

They are tied to a specific phase accessed via a specific quest. Unless there is a WQ that lets you revisit that phase, you will only have that opportunity to tame them.

@worgpower Yes, I saw all of the other ones, too.

Good to know. Will need to keep an alt holding that quest just in case then, assuming we won't have access to plant beast taming by that point.

I apologize for the late post of a Dragonhawk's size. They are a little bit smaller than Sporegliders.
Also, the reason why the Dragonhawk has a blue tint to it is because Tenacity-specced pets in Midnight have a buff (permanent) that makes them look that way.

Also got a size comparison for an Amani Eagle.

Wait, tenacity pets are just permanently blue now? That can't be intended. If it is, that kind of sucks for anyone who doesn't want a blue pet at their side that's also tenacity lol.

Correct. The buff from Endurance Training now gives them a blue shading effect, which is annoying.

Hmm, not a fan of that, hopefully we can provide feedback since I definitely wouldn't enjoy a permanent visual change to my active pet.

Yeah it should be fixed soon enough, ferocity for the win. I noticed that a fair amount of new pets In this expansion are dodge and Mortal Wounds. I guess this is good for many people who run dungeons, I wonder if elementals are going to be just as good as undead, there’s a lot more look options for PvP. Currently we have the option to use undead raptors or devilsaurs in PvP, in midnight we’re going to have petalwings, choloceroses, saptors and Devilsaptors. Do elementals have any immunities to any PvP abilities or is it like normal and undead pets are still superior, obviously dodge is the least good defensive ability so most of the colorful dodge pets are most likely going to be in my stable. We got a fair amount of slows, mostly birds and worms

Just found this thing on wowhead https://www.wowhead.com/beta/npc=256923 ... vilebloods, it’s one of those weird leech things, and this one is classed tameable as a blood beast

Yes, I saw that a week or two ago. It is most likely in Zul'Aman, which is currently closed for testing. I'm not sure if it is intended to be tamable, since no other Blister Creeper is flagged as tamable (maybe one other), but we'll see.

Well the solution to the blister creepers being mostly untameable is simple; F6 every single instance of the little(?) fellas and make it known that they should be flagged!

The blistercreepers have an appearance that makes them look like a voidstorm native creature, I could be wrong. They have this armored appearance that makes them look similar to the other voidstorm creatures, but I really hope they make it as blood beasts, the family needs a bit of variety asides from flying spider things

Wowhead is showing Tor'go as tamable. Can anyone with Alpha check?

Yes, I’ll take a look shortly, assuming that the memory event is up for him.

The memory event is not up today. It may not be for another day or two, but I’ll check when it is :)

If it is tamable, at least from a quick glance, it is the only tamable one.

Some things from Voidstorm

A few variants of Shredclaws. Whiptail just seems to be a name for the family. Grimlynx nor Shredclaws are never called Whiptails at any point. Random fact: Shredclaws are cannibals.
Image
Image
Image

The Consumptor worm (blue tint is due to the tenacity buff).
Image

Trigores (tenacity buff again)
Image

I did find the Warpstalker with the alloyed metal that is part of the model. It also has a Void tint to it
Image

There is a tamable Harrower. All others are not part of any family, though they are classified as Beasts (as are Ultadons). This will likely not remain tamable.

I have to second this opinion. I mean, I'm gonna be pissed if I spec a pet for tenacity & it colors them blue. That's just weird, lol. But I cannot wait to tame some of the new dragonhawks, lynxes & hawkstriders! I am so looking forward to all the new Blood Elf stuff!
