A tip about something i found in BFA alpha that i haven't seen covered in your info. I have found one hunter tamable bug eyed feathered raptor.

In zandalar/nazmir/soul-southeast side of the frog island (southeast island) there are some "shore saurid" scavenging on the shore, go inland a short ways to find "shore Saurid Matriarch" she is tamable as a raptor. as of yet this is the only tamable version of this model i have seen

Thanks for that info. Is it this one?



If so, cool. I hope they all become tameable.

We've been referring to them as "compies" on the website, because that's what the model is named.

Yeah, she is included in my list. Found her last Tuesday.

I think they're called saurids in-game.

I wonder which name will eventually be family's official name, if they don't stay in the raptor family.

Nice! I'm definitely interested in the brown compie, wonder how tall they are relative to nelfs?

That's true, Nazja. The vast majority of them are called Saurids, and none are called compies.

They are almost as tall as my Draenei male (about shoulder height). After being tamed, that is.

Not quite a night elf, but maybe this will give you a reference of scale. They seem to tame to the same size as other raptor models. (I think it would be nice if they were maybe half this size)

HE IS HUGE! THAT MEANS HE HAS HUGE GUTS! RIP AND TE- I mean, that's a big anorexic chicken lizard. Definitely needs to be scaled down, no doubt. It looks so very wrong at that size.

Agreed. A saurid/compy should be at least half that size. If they remain in the raptor family, it would bring more variety by having something that is smaller.

Thanks Veph! I went and pulled out my Draenor raptor, and it seems to be about as tall as the top of female belves ears, whereas the saurid/compy looks like it can put its chin on top of her head. I think having them be shoulder high to a female belf would be a good size? Maybe they'll do a sizing pass on hunter pets later in the beta.

Ohh man they look amazing.. tad on the large size for a compy though

after today's hotfix not sure if he is still tamable or not

I swear he got even bigger in the latest build.

I checked her again a couple days ago and she is no longer tamable.

Oh dear. Stop feeding him!

Yep, definitely bigger....

Wow!

Compie is leveling pretty quickly there...

Are these tamable or not cause if they are I sure as heck want one for my Nightbourne hunter.

As of right now, no, but they will probably become playable once the taming pass happens
