Never thought of that. Could’ve been.

Valnaaros wrote:Could be. The Tidal Guardians, Snapdragons, Spider Crabs, Shark Rays, etc. would all be considered aquatic beasts, so they might be what he is referring to.

Shark Rays have already been confirmed as grouping with the Nether Rays and the Pet Family is now just "Rays"
Spider Crabs are literally crabs
Snapdragons could be grouped as lizards but I can also see them as an "aquatic beast" family
Tidal Guardians look like worms, the only thing making me think they won't be classified in the worm family is during the stream the guy mentioned them shooting lightning, right now, worms don't do that.

What I meant by those is that they are aquatic species, rather than them being classified in an Aquatic pet family

We Need a tameable pug in this patch im already upset cuz in the horde war campaign there is the pug with a diet and everything and its not tameable. #makepugstameable

Yea, you have to remember Muffinus is also the main person who talks to the community for pet battles, not just hunters.

Ok im gonna clear up a few things here first off. i dont know this person if hes uses twitter than im sorry but i dont so yea.

secondly i only want them tameable because 1 we have a dog family and 2 the only breed thats a dog are the mastiffs all the others are darkhounds.

but seriously tho the dog family needs more breeds maybe bulldogs or corgis?

I think Myzou was referring to the "aquatic and mechanical pets" comment, not your post about dogs I think we'd all love more dogs

While true, and please feel free to correct me because I haven't re-watched the stream, the way he described it made it sound more like he was trying to remind us of the WC3 unit which itself shot lightning. I honestly feel like it'll just get dropped in the worm family, but I'd love to be wrong!

Exciting either way. I can't way to play naga again in Reforged!

Aside from the new models, there seem to be new colours for at least two existing models: hydras and mechanowolves.

Hydras are possibly* getting three really lovely new colours, Black, Silvery-White and Burgundy:


I really love the burgundy and the silver. It's also nice they're getting a few subdued skins for hunters who like that.
* By "possibly", I mean that I've found skins that match the hydra model in the database. However, because we can no longer see the file names and paths, I can't guarantee they're for this model until we find them being used, or at least matched against the hydra model in the database. While it seems likely, there's always the odd chance they're intended for something else, like a hydra mount or a hydra-skin rug

Mechanowolves are getting two new additions: yellow and rusty (unpainted):



With the addition of yellow, we're really only missing purple to have a rainbow set

At the very least, I can confirm that the burgundy skin is used on a hydra battle pet:

Frankly, while I appreciate more down to earth skins for the WoD hydras, I really wish they'd update the classic hydra model. The WoD hydras feel much more terrestrial, whereas the classic ones do really seem like aquatic creatures and fit perfectly in Nazjatar.

Also hope that rusty, unpainted mechanowolf skin becomes tameable.

Edit: I've found all three new hydra skins on beast mobs that are most likely in Nazjatar:

Thunderhydra_black

https://ptr.wowhead.com/npc=152547/ston ... iewer:10+0
Thunderhydra_white
https://ptr.wowhead.com/npc=145340/silt ... iewer:10+0
https://ptr.wowhead.com/npc=152541/silt ... iewer:10+0
Thunderhydra_burgundy
https://ptr.wowhead.com/npc=152543/void ... iewer:10+0

On another note:
It appears all colorations of Abyss Worm are present and accounted for on beast creatures in Nazjatar. Some as rare elites, some as normal mobs. Hopefully they consider making them tameable this patch.

Ahhh I feel the exact same way! The classic hydras had a lot more charm to them, I think they'd look wonderful with updated textures/models. I'm surprised they haven't yet.

The Draenor ones are nice, I'm just always put off by the tiny-head syndrome. If they'd been proportioned better to the body I'd probably find them a lot more appealing as cool dinosaur monsters.

EDIT: out of curiosity I tried resizing this one a bit. I scaled the body down by only 10% while leaving the heads the same size, and look at how much of a difference it makes. At least in my eyes.

Wow love the resized look! Much more proportional

Also hope that rusty, unpainted mechanowolf skin becomes tameable.

It is currently being used by two mobs. One is a friendly mob (except during one quest) in Mechagon and is a pet to a Mechagnome Hunter, and the other is KU-J0, a boss in Mechagon.

Wow, that was only a subtle change but it made such a big difference! They could probably go even further. I'd like them to have properly long necks, like the original hydras.

Those are the two I could find with that skin, other than the Mechagon boss.

Chattertooth is the pet of the Mechagnome. I believe that the Scraphound is an mob that cannot be attacked.

What about the fantastic tiger with the main ? any one attempted that one as of yet ?

That model is only used by Kimbul, a Loa. He will never be made tamable and there hasn't been another mob added that uses that model (aside from aspects of him in BoD).

I know they are technically undead but i'd love to tame one of the rotting/undead dinosaurs in nazmir and surrounds. I just think they look super cool
