Cataclysm screenshot of the day
The latest Cataclysm screenshot from Blizzard is shown above, featuring a preview of the most evil-looking eel to have ever lived. Then again, all eels look a little creepy, don't they? I wonder if we can loot meat off of it. Dragon roll, anyone?

welp with my innate fear of eels (thanks Super Mario 64) looks like I'll avoid this zone too.

I was afraid of that eel as well!

I thought it was the Hylian Loach!!

Haha, Unagi was definitely creepy in Super Mario 64. xD I hated that level because I have a fear of deep water, and a giant scary creature lurking at the bottom certainly didn't help.
I'm going to have fun with this expansion. >_>

When an eel bites your hand and it's not what you've planned, that's a-moray!

MMoose, you Know I lubs ya but: All I can say to that is: BRAIN CORAL! Brain coral trumps.. everything.
I bet that GC is having a lot of fun w/ the marine ecosystem in CATA! I would!

Great Spider Robinson reference.

Agreed, brain coral is nifty, so long as it's not holding anyone prisoner. I wonder if it'll be farmable - maybe herbalists will break off pieces to use for Int-boosting potions? ^_^
And I had no idea it was a Spider Robinson reference - I just saw that and other parody lines somewhere.

Worst cata screenshot to date imo, hopefully they'll get better
Zeeb May 20th 2010 10:26PM
Yeah I agree not impressed at this one, one bit.

Reminds me of this.

How can you hate on the new textures, environments, plants and creature detail?!

Moray Eels scare the bajebus out of me, so due to the presence of the eel, it's a bad screenshot =P.

Blah.

Wonder if those are tamable...even if they have creepy bald guy faces.
RogueJedi86 May 21st 2010 1:30AM
Nothing limited to the water is tamable. No one has Frenzy pets or any of them Zangarmarsh Eels as pets.
Joe May 21st 2010 2:09AM
Well with the announcement of underwater zones and hunters being able to summon any one of their pets wherever they are, it would be cool to have a water only pet.
Tori May 21st 2010 11:58AM
I could see it working for some underwater pets. Take the Mana Wyrms for example. There are versions both on land (that just fly around) and some under water.
If they made an Eel like this tameable then it could just hover/fly if it's on land.
Plus we have a lot of pets that make no sense whatsoever to be able to fight underwater (a bird, for instance) but we suspend belief for those. x)
Fletcher May 20th 2010 10:39PM
That thing looks like it has more polygons than Thrall. And it's *scaaaary*. Creepy Eel for Warchief!
Sithril May 21st 2010 10:48AM
It was never stated, but you can presume that anyone mentioned in the Cata preview as an important person would get a big updated in their models.
Also, wtb updates for all faction leader :/ Exp. Malfurion when he's comming back.
