D: Well, PTR is early and still testing stages, hopefully they'll revert to normal by the end..

o_o Big sprite dragons. Wooooooah. Maybe they'll change them to mini size? I like the old model too. Love them both. But wow they're big dragons now.

Maybe they can keep the old model as Sprite Darter Hatchling and have the newer one as a wild battle pet? The new model could have a name like Monarch Darter or some other related butterfly name. c:

So I think what the current findings tell us is we don't know anything yet about mount or pet sizing or which minipet(s) may change. This is almost certainly a mistake (or deliberate purely for temporary testing) as it is now.

Inb4 it turns out to be a TCG or blizzard store mount. (They always gotta nickel and dime us!)

It's way too early to say, but I wonder if this could be Blizzard's way of granting people a "dragon pet" that hunters have been pining over for as long as the game has existed. Though, honestly I think at least the size of the pet is a slip-up if not the whole model.

On the subject of models; I am completely in love with this new model now that I saw it in game without any armour junk on. ^^

One would hope if they were already able to be tamed, then we could tame the new model also, but I'm not sure a upgraded model to an already untameable NPC warrants them becoming tameable now. (Not that I don’t think it would be neat if we could, just sadly don't see it happening.)

so far I agree with this ten fold. The in game armorless models are amazing.

That thing is ugly. It needs to die in a fire
It hardly looks like the Faerie dragons we know and love. Blugh.
And that head thing... I dont.. I just dont.. what? I dont get it D;

Ah, I didn't quite it mean it like that. I doubt they would be tameable by hunters at all since they're dragonkin. What I meant was that every player and their dog have been asking for dragons as a pet (not just whelps) and instead of making them a hunter pet, this would be a sort of "meet you at the half-way" compromise. A pet-battle dragon that comes in a hunter-pet size.

Edit: But I would like to emphasize that I was merely speculating the above case IF this was intentional, which I find highly doubtful.

I still like the look of them XD

I'm sure the model change is a bug. It's got to be. The old sprite darters are way too cute to get rid of for no reason.

inb4 everyone and their mum wanting these as hunter pe-- ... too late.

Me and my dog respectfully do not wish to tame dragons on hunters.

Me neither Mia, but I was talking about the more generalized population of the player base, rather than the tiny portion of us here on Petopia. At least I keep running into people in game who say something of the sort to "I just want to tame dragons already!"

So apparently, after looking around in my pet journal, the model itself is going to replace the current one, or at least on the Hatchling. Seeing as I love the model, I honestly can't wait to see what the spectral one looks like.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and now I really regret selling my Hatchling on live.

I've always loved the stripes and spiderweb-ish pattern on their wings, so I like this mount a lot. I prefer the cutesy chameleon appearance of the original models, but this one's still pretty neat. I like it without armor best, I'm not too keen on how every mount needs armor hiding the new models, but at least this armor isn't too outrageous.

Calling it now....The Sha of Pride will drop this mount ^.^

No offense but I'm not sure how that would make sense. Especially since I dont attribute sha and faerie dragons like at all. I personally think a sha touched pandaria phoenix would be great for the sha of pride since they resemble peacocks and those birds are certainly prideful.

new blizzard store mount i'd bet my account on it

Thats where I'm putting my money it has every aspect of a Blizzard store mount.
