Frost Wolf Pup - Damn Those Animations

[Stiven]

Looks like only pet that knows to sleep, dance and datamine I bet it will be obtained over their Store.

[nerv234]

I love it.

[Magruun]

Looks like it uses the same animation rig as the Shaman Ghost wolf spell.
Thats why it has all these animations.

Cesar millan gona start to play wow ?

[Valysar]

Nah I don't think this pet will be on the store, it's just a wolf.

[Immitis]

it better dance with me like moon moon does!

[mykro9]

I thought I might want one of these at first...





Now I KNOW I want one!

[Auxis]

I want to tame one. Like, I feel as if it would be a fighter.

Also: ITS EYES! IT'S EYES ARE ETERNALLY OPEN!

I think it just uses the generic Coyote skeleton.

[Nivena]

updated ghost wolf model, awww; so cute!!

[Raiju]

goblin ghost wolf form!

[Kelthos]

Looks to just use the standard wolf animations, but it's still cute!

Don't think so. In datamined dialogues there is one that looks like after finishing frostfire questline Durotan gives you frostwolf of your own (notice like almost all of them have their own personal companion), my guess is that this is one you get.

[The Stormbringer]

Very cute. Also, am I one of the few people to dislike the new Worg/Wolf models in general? The faces completely throw me off. They don't look properly wolfish at all. >_< The eyes especially seem odd.

[Auxis]

I like them, AlarStormbringer. Especially seeing as we have a new wolf using a Coyote model.

[caninepawprints]

Creepy how its eyes remain open when it's sleeping.

If you watch the videos of it, it still runs like one of the wolves, which is horribly clunky. I wish they'd fix it. The coyote run looks smoother and more natural.

[Auxis]

Do you mean the Mount version (with the saddle), or the one without the saddle?

[Stonecloak]

I hope they update wolf mount animations. The current ones look odd to me.

[Traveler Voltin]

my orc shaman demands to have one. he needs a little buddy.

Uhm.

That Wolf looks horrible.

[Kryos]

Yeah, just a regular wolf in the wild... with a collar... oh wait

Yes, I think Blizzard lost a good animator 2 expansions ago or so. Most new animals have bad proportions, bad movement animations and generally look "wrong".
The eyes for example are in the wrong position for a wolf pup this time.

It has eyes so far apart like a deer.

The proportions are also wrong.

Blizzard really needs to find another guy for that job or let him visit a Zoo with a camera before he starts the next animal model. The old vanilla models where much better (except the bears... don't get me started on that).
