Oh I love the birb pet! Falcons are great, I might have to roll a KT hunter just for fun....
wow that's a cool bir - HOLY $%^& IS THAT A TRICERATOPS?
I'm already getting tired of direhorns. The pally mount is a direhorn and now the hunter pet...
And don't forget gnomes and goblins start with the ability to tame mechanical pets, where others need an item to learn it.
Both the pets are nice. :o
I think the issue with ZT getting a direhorn pet is the fact that, of the 3 main areas blizzard had to pick an animal for (racial mount, paladin mount and pet) all 3 are direhorns. I can understand the racial being a direhorn and not a raptor ( the CE mount is a ZT themed raptor and the zandalari do use direhorns a lot as well) and a direhorn pet is nice (you can always change it later) but I personally think they should have made the paladin mount a raptor, just to break from direhorns, and also the CotL boss in BoD on the alliance side uses a raptor. The one they implemented is a nice looking one, but it makes it 3 direhorns
will these hunter pets be available for other hunters to tame like the mechanical rabbit is or do i have to start again at level 1?i ask because i like my pet to match my mount and was going to race change but the slate Direhorn mount is the only one i have managed to get and so i need/want it. Starting with a Pterrodax would have been cool too not many races start with a flying pet.
Its just a shame the Horde have not as of yet gotten a truely unique hunter pet, the Alliance have gotten void warpstalkers with the Void elves and the Fire Doomhound for Dark Irons.
There's a falcon coloration already in the game, seen all over Kul Tiras, that is very clearly a peregrine falcon (I know, because my hunter has one. His name is Quijano and he is adorable.) So why would you call that kestrel-looking dude a peregrine falcon?
