WoW Petopia Community

I couldn't see any new beast skins in this patch but I just had to share this weird new model I noticed.

It's called "ChromaticDragonPet", so presumably a new minipet that will be available in 4.3 or beyond...

I assumed it'd be an update of the purple chromatic whelp model that has been in the game for a long time but never used on a minipet. But no... it's extremely different.



It seems to combine elements of the "Chinese dragon" model and the horned dragon minipet. It's kinda like Lil' Tarecgosa developed severe anorexia and spray painted herself gold. It moves in a waving motion much like the Chinese dragon minipet or a wind serpent.

Very cool find.

Wow, I haven't seen this reported anywhere else. It looks so different than any other dragon!

Oh my lord I want it. (And one in blue) (I wonder if it'll be a rare drop off of Murozond)

If it's not intended for Mists of Pandaria it might as well be...

Wonder if there will be any other colors...gold isn't bad, but in WoW when I hear chromatic I think of purple lol (even tho should really be thinking rainbowy)

I like that a lot.

That might just be its base color, and it receives animated rainbow shimmers across the surface in-game?

Here's the video with animations:

I like this so much more than the other whelpling models. This looks fantastic. I love the flying movements and the long tail!

Well I'm thinking of the Chromatic dragons in the game and they're all purple for the most part. That would be really cool tho if they did do a shimmer, like on a rainbow boa.

I prefer the old whelps :/

Oh man. I hope this becomes available. It's *gorgeous*. And I don't just mean the color (although that's fairly shiny). The *shape* is just wonderful.

Ooh, I really love this little guy. Great looking model! I hope we see some more colour variations.

It's quite adorable. I am guessing it will either be a rare drop, or at least from the rogue legendary.

Adorable! Not a huge fan of the colour, but the model is lovely.

after the celestial dragon pet I never thought anything would out do it,but that...woah! I sooo want it.

oooooo WANT IT!! Making me think of Anne Mcaffery's gold queen dragons <3

Thats so cute! Do want!

Whoa. It's cute...
And the animation is amazing too. Well, except for the PELVIC THRUST part. That's just funny O:
