This reminds me - tere's still no sign of tameable razorwings.

They were initially made tameable for K'aresh but had broken attack animations and were unflagged before release :( The bad animation has since been removed but I'm unsure if that fixes the problem as they haven't been tested since.
The only previously-unavailable colour of razorwing mount: the pretty yellow CLOUDBORN RAZORWING is available from the Trading Post for the month of February! (600 Tendies)

This mount is coming in Patch 12.0.0 pre-expansion. A very rare Korthian creature, due to limited cloud cover.

In the new event, gray items can drop that unlock transmog from Midnight.
It's nothing special, you just unlock it earlier, I guess.

The second is the RETRAINED SKYRAZOR, which can be purchased from a vendor using currency earned from event activities:

One of a handful of skyrazors captured by Arathi forces during the Sureki offensive after Queen Ansurek's downfall, this beast has found great use in sniffing out void corruption at home and abroad.

Two new mounts have become available today, with the opening of the Twilight Ascension pre-patch event in the Twilight Highlands.

The first is the shiny citrine LIGHT-FORGED MECHSUIT - for defeating all the special rare event bosses in the event:

I decided to make a Petopia guide for the Pre-Patch after all!

There are only 2 new tameable looks, but the guide allows me to document for posterity:

- new matching minipets for hunter pets
- the new unused / untameable mana wyrm and celestial windsteeds.

Here are the new pet looks that have become tameable in the Midnight Pre-Patch. Okay, there are only two that we're aware of, but please let us know if you find something we missed!

I also added the unused new blue-violet mana wyrm look.

So far, it's only been assigned to a minipet but hopefully it'll be used on wild models in the future.

So, right now I think housing is pretty awful.

It's not so much the housing itself, more the things that happen around it.

Chopping wood, usually just one piece... from a whole tree? Really? And when you consider how much you need for just one item, yeah, that kind of thing pisses me off.
January 23, 2026 at 9:47 AM
Left today / right yesterday 🥲

It's also the case that only one of the houses levels up with the tasks...so I would have to do everything twice. 🫠

The new green magma snail mount textures *almost* work on the non-mount model, but not quite. Gah!

The body & glows fit perfectly but the shell doesn't. The reason is the mount shell texture file also includes the saddle texture (separate 'images' but in same file)...

New manawurm texture datamined recently.

It seems to have been created specifically for a companion pet but the model is also used for wild (and often tameable) beasts so hopefully it'll also end up used that way.

Since we don't have the ottuk plushie, I'll have to repurpose Myrlin for that. 😅
January 22, 2026 at 9:55 AM
WTF? Why isn't this available as a decoration? Where's my Ottuk plushie? D:

You don't have to fill the bar alone, right?! Now I'm wondering, what if you're in a neighborhood where nobody or hardly anyone actually does it? 🤔

Stupidly, I was aware of both these upcoming tames, but they completely slipped my mind when I was trying to think of anything that might be in the pre-patch.

In Olden Times we'd have a few new families to enjoy taming in the pre-patch, but the one family* we will be getting is Midnight-only.
@wowpetopia.bsky.social
With the prepatch now live (on NA realms right now, EU soon), Magmorax and Tor'go are now properly tameable! Magmorax respawns shortly after being tamed, so you can get multiple in one sitting.

I've set Magmorax's level to 75 but it's hard to tell what its max level might be, under that Boss mask.

I'm also curious how low this raid scales. I don't have any suitably-levelled hunters to check. Anyone with the right resources able to help me out? :)

There are 3 new mounts but only the stunning, purple Anu'shalla, Shadow's Guidance (600-mount* achievement reward) is available on week 1.

See our patch guide for more info, and have fun!
