So pet lions roar now?Follow

Today, out of boredom, I was playing my lowbie Blood Elf hunter alt.

I was outside of Rachet, and figured what the hell, I'm going to tame her a pet lion. I tamed kitty, hearthed home, and then went about Silvermoon, and was smelting some ore when...my male lion did his yawning idle animation...and when he opened his mouth, he actually ROARED.

Everytime he idles, yawns, and opens his mouth, he roars now. I thought it was totally neat (I've tamed lions before, they never roared before).

Sadly enough, my Springpaw Cub doesn't roar though.

The lion I tamed was a Savannah Prowler, if I remember correctly, if anyone else wants to test it out.

Aha. I was looking up something to back up something I was gonna say, and I found this:

And starting with patch 2.3, cats who use the lion model also roar when they stretch, although their roar is rather different.


From Petopia.

I have the rare wintersaber model and it makes a creepy yawning noise, although I have grown used to it. :)

Hmmm, I wonder if any of the other pets got upgraded sound effects as well? *goes off to check Petopia*

And yeah, the roar is totally different from the ones that the Wintersaber tigers use.

Morris has 'growled' while yawing for a while now. I keep asking him if he's that tired or bored, he should go pick on some gnome, take a catnap or something. Stop yawning, it makes ME tired.

If you have a saber mount, it will 'roar' when you tap the spacebar while sitting still, unless that changed in 2.4... haven't tested it yet though.

I think it's been audible since 2.3, I cant remember as I don't have a cat mount.

The ones that annoy me are the pride watchers and Shy-Rotam, the constant yawn/roar is almost enough to make me want to get a different cat.
