Hope the snake mount is cool next year

Chinese new Year Snake 2025

It’ll probably be a variant on the cloud serpent model - maybe a reskin of those N’zoth worms from BFA.

I hope we get a flying monkey so we can all be like the Witch on Oz and have a flying monkey but that wont be until 2028

Please no.

That would be pretty cool. I’m calling dibs on the Rosy Boa model.

agreed we got to many re-color of those already

I don’t really see how else they’re going to do a rideable snake. Sorry.

/mountspecial wraps the rider in constricting bind.

What we really need is a Catdog.

Same way they made a mouse and rat

Oof. I’ll have to let my guildie know not to be online for a few days when it releases. She’s got an extreme phobia of snakes. But give it a few days and that mount won’t be used. lol

I hope it’s like Rattly from Donkey Kong. Boing boing boing :melting_face:

That sounds cool until you think about the stiff sky riding animation the serpents have currently.

If we get a snake mount for next year, I really hope Blizzard updates the sky riding animations for it.

yeah, i want blizzard to send me a ball python so i can name it doodle

I hope whatever we get it’s an actual snake as in it slithers on the ground as it’s ground moving animation and not just hover above the ground like all the other serpent like mounts.

The only way a snake mount works without having the player move all over the place is if they placed the saddle on its head. Which would look weird.

Idk if it’s feasible, at least some model/skeleton work would have to be tweaked.

Most mounts we get, even the new ones, are of an already existing skeleton.

I haven’t seen any mounts of recently that are totally new from the ground-up.

For some reason my brain immediately went to an ourboros wheel and us running inside of it like little hamsters. :woman_shrugging:

year of the snake is my chinese zodiac. so i’d love an actual snake mount type thing

The monkey one we get in a few years could end up being awesome
