Since when?! My friend Lucas and I are sitting on our Bronze Drakes, camping Madexx, and suddenly, after being idle for a bit, they start roaring and making noises on their own! I thought I was crazy but Lucas said he saw/heard it too!

Do they? I'll have to listen next time I'm sitting around on my dragon!

/mountspecial try it

try
/mountspecial

works best when on the ground. All mounts have some form of idle animation some just take longer to do it then others.

lol looks like I was beaten to it

I think the drake mountspecial has a very flashy roar with spread wings. I don't think that one randomly plays, but I'm not sure.

I know the random one is a roar sound with a headshake isnt it? asides from the normal looking back and forth.

No, the drakes will not idly do their mount-special. They will shake their head from side to side, dunno if I've ever noticed a noise accompanied with it though.
The proto-drakes have an idle that makes noise that they do occasionally.

Edit: So far Venjin's blue drake hasn't made a peep while idling.

We werent doing the specials. They were making odd and random roaring sounds but seems after we dropped group, they stopped. But in a group, they kept doing it.

Not sure about any other races, but it happens on male Worgen for sure.

That may have been what it was.....Lucas is a male worgen.

Yeh it is so weird. I was confused while on my DK, the roar when on the Netherdrakes is just plain obnoxious, since they can idle roar multiple times in a row, and that particular drake has a loud, tinny growl compared to the other drakes. Riding on a horse mount yields the most hilarious results though. I checked the bug forum, no one posted about it, so I don't think many people even noticed. Very odd.

I'd love if all mounts did that but not so often.

Maybe that's what happened when I was out looking for Terrorpene.
I've been helping my friend camp the fire turtle for a bit now. Well, he qued in for a dungeon so I sat out waiting. I was sitting on my Drake of the North wind when I heard this odd roar type noise. Immidate hunter reactions took over and I started frantically looking for Terrorpene with no luck... but perhaps that roar was my dragon? o.o'

Could it be that dragon mounts make noises when idling in a group with another drake mount? Like they are communicating? Just a though.

I've never noticed any idling animations on my drakes, but when flying, sometimes they lean their head to the left side, as if to take a left turn. They also make very weird noices, makes me wondering if they have some sort of syndrome. Very annoying. :p
