Um... isn't that a mount? Or at least a mount model?

I need more hunters, IMO.

The page you linked listed it as Tameable (Raptor).

If that's tameable, I'm going to DIE FROM HAPPINESS!!

Well, though they're friendly to Horde I could still Beast Lore them. They're not tameable according to that. An Alliance character can double check.

Double checked, seems a no-go even from blue team's perspective.

I would take the Cataclysm wowhead information with a grain of salt, I don't think they've gone around and strictly tested everything, many beasts are just automatically flagged as Tameable until proven otherwise.

Aw bummer... I wish they were tamable. There aren't many pets with armor on them. I would love to see more added even if they reuse armored mount models.




...Although I'm still awaiting the day the Blizz decides to grant us the gift of customizable, decorative (or functional) pet armor. :(

Tameablity aside, is that thing going to be available as a mount? The raptors are my favorite ride (3 years of Mandokir, baby. Bloody draenei being alliance, psshaawww.) and that red is truely droolable. I would fac-change in a heartbeat for that beauty.

That is a pretty sick raptor. I'm not all that much a fan of raptors, but I'll tame it, definitely. I assume Blizzard is keeping track of look-alike mounts. I think the number (not counting Cata) is 2 Alliance, 1 Horde. I think the Horde is due one!

I've always loved that red colouration, I sincerely hope we get the chance to have it as a mount. :)

I'd like to see the raptors leading up to King Dred tameable in Drak Keep. When the trolls unmount, the raptors have the saddles on them.
