Thread: Name that Skull

    Name that Skull

    Thinking of using this for transmog on my Troll Shadow Hunter. What sort of animal skull do you think it's supposed to be, anyway? I'm thinking either sabertooth or giant snake. Any thoughts?

    With the name and the look I would say its a giant snake.

    It's a snake. The head is flat and wide and the fangs aren't part of the jaw but the upper lip.

    I was going to post "it has a nose, so it's not a snake" turns out snakes have nose holes in their skulls even though they don't have noses. Weird.
    I don't think this matters nearly as much as you think it does.

    Uses a very similar model to the head of Hakkar or any Hakkari infact. http://www.wowhead.com/npc=8443/avat...ar#screenshots
    So a wyvern like being, which in turn is snakelike. Also, I name the skull Steve, since are naming that skull.

    There is a difference between nostrils and a nose though.

    I'll go with snake-like creature because of the position of the fangs

    Steve! Ok that got a smile.

    Snake it is. I concur. For my Troll, that makes it a nod to Hethiss. I can work with that.

    Not a wind serpent, if you look the wind serpent's fangs are right under its eyes.... OP's pic is more like a snake.

    Maybe it's just not designed 100% like a wind serpent? Show me a snake in-game that looks like this helmet.
