Those would make awesome mounts

Inico, thank you so much! Until now it hadn't twigged with me that you were the creator of that video and the one who got the hydra working. That's really cool

Anyway, thanks, I'll get the pics up now!

Also, if you're already snooping around the WoD database, if it's not too much trouble, I was wondering have you seen any evidence of a wild (non saddle) version of the new draenor hydra chimaera mount? Or other toucan colours? Thanks

You mean non-saddle new Chimaera mount?

Oops, I did. Corrected now! Thanks

In the interests on cutting down the size of the OP, I've reduced all the displayed images to 200px. You should be able to click on any to see the full-sized image, though. Please report any broken links to me!

I'll look at doing the same with the mounts thread.

No, there is not a wild version of the new draenor chimera mount yet.

interesting. they know how to sit down. of course they have the seagull model so I guess that can be expected.

Also I will be disappointed if we don't see a hydra mount. when someone puts that much work into a sturdy model like that it practically screams "future mount."

I'm really liking those toucans, great colours! I also like the variations in markings on all of them. I can't say I'm super keen on that skeleton, but these models are much higher res than the seagulls and crows so I'm sure they'll pull it off better.

Ah beat me to it

Haha! If I ever tame #2, I'll name it Sam.

But I like #3 and #4 the best. #3 reminds me of the Pterrorwing skin of the same colors.

I admit, I'm partial to the green one. And the first one because it looks like it's had a severe accident with paint.

"By Elune, xXBeardgunr, your new hunter pet looks absolutely vicious! Just look at that dried blood on its beak!"
"Dried- what now? Oh, no, 'e was just helpin' me construct me upgraded Garrison, and I may or may not have knocked over the paint can a wee bit."

I would like a type without the over-the-top blood, though.

Still laughing about this one. I had to go look up a picture of Toucan Sam since I couldn't remember his exact colours off the top of my head....there's no question now.

It must have been done on purpose, lol. It's just too uncanny xD

I even looked up species of toucan to see if they'd gotten inspiration from the real world.


There are some nice colors, but none really resemble Toucan Sam. I think it's a nice little reference that doesn't breach the "obnoxious product placement" zone.

The toucans have raptor claws...haaa!

Inico, thanks for checking those

The other toucan colours look a little "painted on" to me. I wonder if they're just concepts and not final skins.

I want a Venus Flydra (I know that's not their name but I like my name better )
