Perhaps they have beads and feathers because they’re vaguely associated with the trolls? Trolls have the raptor mounts… though it is a poor explanation. Blizzard should have small skin changes (jewelry, light armor, heavy armor, etc.) for pets in the next expansion. That’d be sweet.

Just throwing this out there, from what I’ve observed of raptors throughout this game, they are indeed intelligent creatures, who have a tribal system/society akin to quillboars, but maybe a little bit more primitive even than that. Regardless, they have enough intelligence to adorn themselves.

tamed him a few days ago. Looks nice initally but the beads and feathers stick out too much and you’re left looking at a camp raptor who looks likes he’s fresh from Mardi Gras or the Blue Oyster Bar.

i always wanted one of those from ungoro… but couldnt tame it. so i got one of the black raptors in outlands at 66 and named him Grimlock. i dont think i could part with him now especially since hes already 70.

Rumor has it that the Dinobots will be making an appearance in the next Transformers movie. “Grimlock mad… Grimlock SMASH!!!“

I was actually in Un’Goro the other day and thought to myself how beautiful these untamable raptors are, now I can actually go and have one.

Well the grind to level a pet isn’t as big a deal for a Survival hunter as it is for a Beast Master or Marksman hunter, since you’re in there hacking and slashing anyway.
My Dwarf Beast Master hunter I respeced temporarily to Survival to level up one of the red lynx to 35 after I got the first one up to 28 and realized I got the wrong color cat.
The respeced grind was much easier than the original grind.

This is cool for those around that level. I’m not touching it until they fix the pet leveling curve. It’s so awful I don’t know how anyone can do it…

Blaaaaaaargh. Since none of the obsidian raptors were previously tameable, I–a 70–went and got Takk the Leaper. I’ve gotten him to level 67.

…And NOW they release the raptor color I wanted. Dare I go through the experience of raising another low-level pet clear to 70…?

That’s awesome! Always loved raptors, and was sad to see that skin wasn’t tamable. Now that it will be, I’ll go get it on one of my hunters when 2.3 goes live. =D
