juvenile marsh drake
Portrait is wrong. The portait is a picture of a Scaled Drake. All Marsh drakes (including enemys) use the appearence that the pet Marsh Drake has, so its definately not the model thats incorrect.
Believe someone in another thread said that it was changed sometime during beta, though he didn’t go into too much detail on what exactly that meant. Don’t know if all Marsh Drakes used to use the Scaled Drake model thus fitting the icon, or whether (as below) only the Juvenile Marsh Drake used to use a different model and they changed it to match the adult versions. Either way, they neglected to change the icon when they changed the model.
I too really like the Scaled Drake and would love to have one as a pet (its probably my favorite Drake model besides maybe the Frost Drake).
While on the subject of messed up drakes, the River Drake is screwed up too. The portrait and in-game model match, but it doesn’t match the enemy River Drake model at all. The pet actually uses the Rock Drake model instead of the actual River Drake model.
Mind you, the actual River Drake model is pretty much a recolor of the Marsh / Salamander drake (but blue) so the current model makes the pet more unique looking, which is good I suppose. But it also makes it really wierd when you find juveniles and normal enemy adults in the wild, because the two look nothing alike.
Yes, this particular anomaly is grating my nerves everytime I decide to use the drakes.
Please make pet and portrait consistent.
