We now have Direhorns on the Isle of Giants but they are not 'tameable' as you require something known to tame them. Also there is a collection of new Dinos that we can tame as well. I was squealing so loudly flying around the island.

Everything is an Elite on the Island, I've not tried taming the parents but the Hatchlings can be frozen :)

Flyby of the Entire Zone with all Tameable Creatures
My Video of the Isle of Giants, Bubbles are there to explain what to do and how to do things and give general information about the island as a whole.

Screenshots below :)

Pterrowings can also be found on the Island along with a number of Zandalari but the Pterrowings cannot be tamed.

I honestly can't IMAGINE trying to get around on this island while riding a regular mount... Everything here looks like it wants to kill you the moment it makes eye contact. Even the hatchlings. XD

LMAO! Oh I know, I barely could land without getting something wanting to eat my face off on the Island. I was trying to take screenshots of the Direhorns and baby did not like me coming near :C It wanted to eat my face... XD

Yeah just beware of the White one on the Island... she LOVES to attack you randomly when you fly by 8| My friend got chunked to 39% of her health by a made mama XD

What happened to Oondasta? Hopefully she/he is okay and somewhere nicer.

I think Oonasta is supposed to be a new Galleon, only tougher - so with a long spawn time. you'll less often see him home than not :)

Don't all world bosses get increased spawn time next patch though?

Question: Is that a green Devilsaur tamed in the Green/Yellow pic? It's sort of hard to tell if it's tamed or if it's shadows or something on a yellow.

I've got a thing for green pets and am hoping for a green one.

They're like a...yellow green I guess. Bit of an odd colour, but it's basically green.

This is just something that occurred to me, and nothing I have any inside knowledge on. But in beta we had a number of beasts that changed appearances over the course of the test, and sometimes people who'd already become very attached to certain ones were upset when they were changed, and the skin was given to a rare. Hopefully that won't happen here, but it's always worth keeping in mind that it may.

But on a positive note, beautiful shots :)

I'm not too sure where Oondasta has gone to reside now, I'm not sure if he will still be present on the Island or not as there is now the Beast Lord in the spot where he used to spawn. Maybe he still spawns there or not I am not honestly 100% sure at this time, but so far every time I have flown over the island I did not seen Oondasta only the trolls.

The devilsaur in the screenshot with the two adults that are a greenish/yellow coloration is indeed one of the Hatchlings I tamed from them. In my first run through before I got Direhorn taming I tamed 1 of each Devilsaur :)

I actually wouldn't be too worried about this, but that's just me personally. The Island of Giants is a place that I think Blizzard might not change much, mostly to give everyone a fair chance at a pet they want but then again we know Blizzard and how they seem to hate us hunters so indeed it is something to keep in mind. I know I've seen the Tan Direhorn Model on Thunder King's Island along with the White Devilsaur, there's also the Black Devilsaur there but apparently those are Elementals <_<

Thank you for a tamed shot of each. Definitely getting a blue devilsaur and a red dire horn. Then it's back to waiting for something else I want.

I'm actually glad the Pterrorwings are not tameable. They look ridiculous in my opinion. That stupid looking head with the huge teeth and the enormous talons on the wings look dumb as well. I'm amazed that they made the other Dinos look so awesome and failed so horribly on these. I don't even want one as a mount.

Good that you have such a vivid view and opinion, but I actually love these more than all the other models. They actually look ferocious to me. I hope they make them tameable.

They're by far one of my favourite models ever made by Blizzard. I would kill to be able to tame one, but I'm glad I can at least get a mount and maybe the possibility of a minpet. Either way, I love them. :D

I think the Pterrorwings look bad-ass in a way that most wow mounts do not. I'd love to fly around on one!
