Going by the spreadsheet, the turquoise scorpids in the Southern Barrens haven't been seen in the beta. Unless that skin gets added to another zone, it looks like it will be going extinct.

There's also the fact this is still beta, they are still doing things and if they are going so far as to spread the diseased blackbear skin around and I did not see the skin Mania mentioned a while back- via guessing [grey diseased bear], I doubt very much that the two mobs are going to be extinct, in the 'we never see their skins ever again' way.
I mean Mazz has babies, the barrens has
sparkling pink striders. The Tanaris Hyenas are now the purple skin if I remember right...
There is a chance the skins are now new and different rare mobs, people just need to keep looking. There are undoubtedly not as many people gunning for tameable pets, as there are for 'amigawd new content1111'

I kinda wish that the sparkly tallstriders would stay sparkly. Maybe later in the beta they will.
I dunno, it just seems funny to me. Maybe you can attept to blind people with their skin?

What I'm seeing here is that some mobs are going extinct, but the skins in general are just getting moved around. This makes me quite happy as I don't feel like I really need to worry about any skins. =D
I'm curious. Was Old Cliff Jumper found to be safe in Beta? Don't know if the Hinterlands are getting a change.

The ones in the south are, I believe!
And yes, people need to keep looking and the rest of us need to remain patient. xD
Like the strider clutchmother still may have been moved to an entirely different part of the zone, but no one knows it yet...unlikely, but possible. (I'm personally going to keep considering that one until someone spots that skin elsewhere.)

I can confirm that the Ghost Sabers are still in Beta and still tamable. No worries about losing that one yet.

Did anyone check on the rare Silithid in South-West Shimmering Flats? in the bug zone there? That area appears to be flooded in the maps, so the other other place that skin would be available is AQ...

THE WHITE ONE!!!! Yes I want to know this too, cus I have him, his name is Tweek, and I want to know if I can drop him off for a while and tame another for for a bit then get him back when Cata comes out.

Everything in the Shimmering Flats (not its name anymore....) is under about 20 feet of water.

I have the concern about the Clutchmother simply because I don't trust Blizz to not get rid of her and also give us the stable slots before beta. I just don't know that I'm willing to take that risk.
It's great to hear the purple skin hyena will still be around.
I just hope that what's being seen so far sticks.
I don't think it's been answered but is just the Clutchmother gone from Darkshore and her skin put in another area or is she gone completely by observation so far?

No one has seen that skin anywhere so far. She seems to have disappeared from Darkshore, but who knows if they reused that model somewhere else. There's been no reports yet.

Has there been any indication or suspicion on anybodies part that Rak'shiri might be in danger? The Clutchmother is Teigan's pet, plain and simple. Yes, I'll tame her on Keelin...but, I've tried to have her on other hunters and it's never been right.
My stable right now are Galileo (Skoll), Kyndri (Loque), Pepper (devilsaur), Tannok (wolf) and Zaynah (Rakshiri). Galileo and Kyndri are not going anywhere. I need Tannok for MM and Pepper for BM and more importantly I am extremely fond of that wolf and that devilsaur! Which leaves Zaynah, my beautiful, beautiful tiger.

I only just got her and spent some time looking for her. She is so very beautiful and I really, really don't want to give her up. She's the cat for Teigan. She is perfect for her. But, I don't want to lose Teigan's tallstrider forever by not taming her before Cata!

get rid of one that you know you can get back like the devilsaur or wolf. I tamed a white devilsaur in beta the other day in ungoro so that one is still there, and the others are probably still there too. I'm sure Tyrantus is still in OL. You may be missing that pet for a bit, but you can at least make sure you have the ones you want post expansion.

as far as i can see ithink from seeing a few video's that these will be gone i could be wrong but as far as i can see they look like they're gone
the bronze slilithid in shimmering flats
the ghost sabres of darkshore ((there's a horde base where they are now))
the black lion in the barrens ((i can't remeber it's name))

Ghost Sabers are in fact still there and tamable in beta. There is a Horde base near that location and Trolls mining/excavating the ruins, but the cat figurines are still scattered around and work as they always have.
I've had Humar in my stables since about level 28, but haven't gone to check on him in beta though.

My predicament
exactly, even down to the indecisiveness on whether to let Rak'shiri go (who seems to just go so well with Rhyela) and get her later, or get my darling Rainey back before it's too late. I just don't know what to do, so I'm going to hang on just a bit longer..... Wow, our pet types are exactly the same too. Two spirit beasts (except I have Gondria instead of Skoll), a devilsaur, a wolf, and Rak'shiri. O.o

Wow, that is a bit odd.

I should probably just wait and hope the stables expand before Cata. I don't know.

If we could get an SS of him on the beta, that would be fantastic! (Cause yeah, unless you were in the alpha - gasp - then you couldn't've possibly checked a couple of weeks ago.)

I know I'm nagging and being paranoid but has anyone been able to locate the Clutchmother or her skin at all anywhere yet??????
Please look if not.
