Don't worry, we'll find over five hundred thousand things for you to add later when you return. The backlog will fill like a flooding dam, just you wait!

I desperately hope there's a hunter pet version of these little goobers. They use the mudskipper animations, after all.

We now have all the relevant info on these new beasts in that thread! The community found all five, and their locations are properly listed.

The thread on Petopia has the location of three of the NPCs now, as well as the relevant NPC IDs and matching colors listed. Just gotta find the hyenas and core hounds now!

Just like the pangolins on The Wandering Isle are just armadillos. Blizzard, you know what must be done!

These toads look very lickable and clearly not poisonous at all. Clearly, they would taste like candy if they're so bright and colorful!

I do like that one (not as much as the blue), but sadly it just doesn't touch that same feeling. I'm not too bummed though; this isn't like the downgraded wind serpents since these are a totally new model entirely, and the old ones aren't going anywhere.

Amani was the yellow one with pink tips. Always liked to call it the bananahawk.

Would certainly be a huge improvement for those permanently grounded pets, for sure. Poor wolfhawks, gryphons, most birds, etc. It almost feels like we clip their wings when we tame them.

campaigner.bsky.social @campaigner.bsky.social · 6d

Alien jawcrawlers, hell yeah. I hope the glowing bits have a bit of actual glow to them and aren't just brightly colored textures. If that blue one also glows blue, I'm totally grabbing one.

These are certainly some of the weirder worms for sure. That big mouth is definitely not a good place to put your head, but I'll be grabbing one of these slimy fellas for sure!

The red toad is such a wild color, and I'm all for it. All of the colors look TOTALLY lickable and TOTALLY not inspired by real life poisonous frogs.

campaigner.bsky.social @campaigner.bsky.social · 6d

I'm personally not a fan of the grounded birds, considering they don't actually fly after being tamed, but the colors and designs for this one are just spectacular. I spy a color pattern that's reminiscent of a bearded vulture!

These new dragonhawk models are such a huge glowup from the originals that it's insane. My favorite old dragonhawk isn't represented sadly (Amani), but I LOVE the blue one. It looks so good.

It immediately reminded me of Ivy, an enemy from Resident Evil 2. This same weird mouth is used on a lot of crazy things, like Gravemind from Halo and Demogorgon like you mentioned. It's a very simple yet effective way to make a monster look unnatural.

The enemy "Ivy" from Resident Evil 2. It's a bipedal plant that was genetically engineered in a terrible way, intended as a bioweapon. Its "face" consists of those three red flaps.

These things have mouths that open FRIGHTENINGLY wide. Pure nightmare fuel. While I personally don't care much for them, I do appreciate how wild they look. Again, whoever made these was clearly having a good time.

Aside from the new white one we got in Pandaria, this model hasn't had love in so long. It's good to see them get such a faithful reimagining that makes them both familiar and alien. The red one stands out so much.

1

campaigner.bsky.social @campaigner.bsky.social · 7d

Crawg animations, hell yeah! I just pray that, along with these goofy goobers, the "potadpole" model also gets flagged for us considering they're literally mudskipper reskins. Either way, that brown one on the bottom row calls out to me.

campaigner.bsky.social @campaigner.bsky.social · 7d

As with my renaming crusade against Chloroceros -> Roothorn, these things should totally be called Sporehawks. Also, while I see the blue one as the "default" color, that purple one is incredibly appealing. I normally dislike pink/purple + blue, but this one stands out.

campaigner.bsky.social @campaigner.bsky.social · 7d

The fel, void, and light colors are incredible, as is that stunning red one. Whoever was playing with the mana wyrms was having a lot of fun, I'd wager!

Capybara is love. Capybara is life. Everyone in pvp that attacks a hunter's 'bara earns a ticket right back to the Maw.

This is why they should be renamed to Roothorns. Wouldn't have made that mistake if they had that name :D

1

campaigner.bsky.social @campaigner.bsky.social · 10d

Honestly, they're so weird that they kind of deserve their own family. Serpent is good though because it allows non-BM hunters to use them.

campaigner.bsky.social @campaigner.bsky.social · 10d

I will fight for Chloroceros to be renamed "Roothorn". I will throw fists for it! That being said though, I love them. They're not Clefthooves though; they're in the Direhorn family (at least according to the database), which is certainly an odd pick.
