Could someone see if these are tamable on beta, if they have a chance?

Spawns when you kill Eclipsion Cavaliers in Shadowmoon Valley. Not marked as a pet of the dead cavalier, and has the same animations as tallstriders.

Nope, no luck

Spawns most of the time when you engage the rider in combat in Drak'Tharon Keep.

Moves like a raptor, should be tamable as one. /dream

I would faction change for this in a heart beat

They transform into bears, but no buff is seen. Maybe?

There is a buff :(

Owls in outland. Would be awesome.

I'm really hoping that the colorful raptor becomes tamable. I've always wanted one ever since I first went into DTK

The raven lord would be nice.. but its a druid god isn't it? I doubt they'll make it tamable.

Goddess' mate does not a god make.

I can think of only one maybe two mount models which are tamable.. I'm also not sure how a bird constitutes as a raptor because it has the same base model/animations as one.

That's all.

Actually, there IS a buff, Bear Form. It's just like the druid buffwith the same name, except that it has a duration.

Aw, so much for that one. I could've sworn there was no buff last time I fought em back in BC :(

True, but they could give the raven lord a "mini me" consort of his own... :)

Does there need to be more similarity? As I see it, it's the "missing link" between raptors and tallstriders (rather like the spiny raptor) and so could be considered either species... though I'd lean toward raptors, since it's forearms are still quite functional.

Ursanguos is not. I keep. Checking every patch. Neither is Shadumbra, which is sad since he uses the riding saber model,and it's quite stunning.

There are some Droid bears in felwood, but also not tameable.

He doesn't use a riding saber model, just the black panther model like those in STV.

Untamable as of current beta patch.... But for some reason, he's back to looking like the old druid bear :S

I swear last beta build when I was questing he had been changed to the riding model. But I might be thinking of a different mob. Will double check after work.

Ursangous remains, sadly, untameable as of the latest beta build.

Well "Hawks" and such are actually Raptors. But this creature is more of a road runner/chicken, I wonder if it was tameable it would go "beep beep" and attract ACME inspired Coyotes. Unknowne-Elune

You know now that you mention it... I bet you could swap out the tallstrider's "skraaaak" with a sound file of the road runner... would probably get old though... ;)
