My Human Hunter would LOVE some Dire Horns can't wait to see how they are!
i actually hopes its as good as its being hyped to be.
Personally i'm hoping for more than just the triceratops, perhaps the dire horn being a family including Pterradactyl from Un'goro/ the new models, ( And if i wish hard enough that would include the feathered model as well.) And please don't make it an exotic,a class quest for one spec would really disappoint.
Please blizzard, not only BM pet, please, Survival hunters and Marksman want love too, please.
Ummm, F dire horns, let me tame this (BTW, PTR 5.2 is live):
(and yes, I realize that's the World Boss)

Many fine folks over at Petopia have more or less come to the conclusion that Dire Horns are indeed the triceratops based on datamined spells. There also appears to be a quest line involving them for hunters if I read the Petopia thread correctly. Appears they wont be BM only.
Please do not read the above information as pure truth. At this point its still not 100% verified.

I'm very surprised that we haven't seen an indication yet that they'll be exotic pets. It would make it the only non-exotic pet that will have an additional special ability (that actually does something, I don't count Play).
And I'm really wondering about the exact mechanics of their channeled deflection for raiding purposes...

I'd be happy with the dire horn being the triceratops, and making the others just skins in an existing family. Terradax/pterodactyls could be any bird, and basilisks/crocolisks could get the diemetrodon skin from ungoro, and make stegodons a rhino skin.
As a troll hunter, I say bring on more dinos! How about a sauropod mount? I'm really digging this dinomancer stuff.

"Hunters view nature as a force with which to ally. They spend much of their time with an animal companion. The bond that forms between the two is rather strong. To attack either is to bring down the wrath of both. With powerful attacks in melee and at range, and a friend willing to put its life on the line at your command, the Hunter makes a potent addition to any group."
Yeah they're in the game now (Ptr) but still unable to be tamed for some reason. Seems the ability hasn't been added yet or maybe it is indeed from a quest I haven't found. Anyway, there's all different colors. Looking forward to it. The new devilsaurs look rad, too.

Willing to bet dire horns are the triceratops style mobs we've seen all over the place.
