Windserpent Tongues o.O

So I'm leveling a lowbie hunter just for fun on Earthen Ring and stumbled across Hayoc while questing this afternoon. Naturally I couldn't pass up such a gorgeous rare pet. After taming her and heading out to continue questing, I paused in the water to skin a crocolisk and noticed something adorable. Windserpents flick their tongues out when they swim XD

Maybe I'm just slow to realize this, but I was terribly amused. I already loved their swimming animation, but the tongue makes it even better!

...and just because I'm excited -- bonus screenshot of itty bitty hunter and her new pet. Who hardly shrank in size and holds aggro stunningly well! http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc33 ... 143404.jpg

Haha, thanks! :D I had a cobalt windserpent on my main hunter for a long time, I've been missing how slithery they are, so this was the perfect chance ^_^

Thanks, I thought so too XD I had pet snakes when I was younger, I remember how silly it feels when they do that on your hand, so seeing the windserpent do it made me all giggly. haha :B

Yeah the snakes are awesome. I had one for PVP for a while, I loved it -- great looking and very handy for marksman PVP, people dispell the serpent's poison instead of your stings, giving you time to chimera them >:3 It's fun re-leveling a hunter, it gives me an excuse to tame the models/pets I never really tried on my main hunter (and can't until Cata, since his stables are filled by rarespawns x_X)

Grats on the tame! I love the white wind serpents. I'm definitely getting one in Cata, perhaps a red Outlands one too... :)

Too cute with the tongue by the way. I don't usually zoom in (unless it's specifically to admire the way my pet or mount moves) so I often miss little nuances like that.

I wonder if the Outland models have a tongue? :lol:

They do not. They do, however, have the skeleton for a tongue (sounds ridiculous, I know), if you check the model closely you can see a piece of it's head periodically moving a bit, because of a fluke with the tongue-animation.

Grats on the tame!

I'm just going to have to run around with my Hayoc a while and watch for the tongue!

She is beautiful isn't she? =) Hehe Zedxrgal, the clutchmother is one of her other pets! Hooray fellow tallstrider appreciators ^_^ And yeah, come cataclysm, I've got so many pets to 'get back' that I miss... my old black devilsaur, a cobalt windserpent, my beloved duskwing eagle, mazzeranache... man I can't wait!
