Look what I found on Beta. Some guy was in Stormwind with a Fossilized Raptor and a Fossilized Hatchling as companion and I was able to make sone Screenshots before he dissapeared.
After seeing the DK flying mount which looks more like a gnawed off „Wiesnhendl“ from the October Fest than some scary flying beast, I am glad that this looks much better.
They look better than they appear on the Screenshots.
From Archaeology
Both Fossilized Raptors are rare items in Fossil Archaeology and require 100 & 85 Fossil Archaeology Fragments.
Here is what wowhead says.
Fossilized Hatchling
3 sec cast
When you finished assembling this tiny skeleton through some eldritch magic, the little critter sprang back to life. He’s a pretty good pet. Since he’s a skeleton, he doesn’t eat much.Fossilized Hatchling
Binds when picked up
Item Level 30
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
The guy got away befor eI could make better screenshots of the pet. But anyway here take a look at it (click to enlarge).
Fossilized Raptor

Mount
Requires Level 40

Use: Teaches you how to summon this mount. This is a very fast mount.
That’s awesome! I want one of these so much. A reason to level archaeology in itself!
Thanks for the pics. 🙂
@Wulfy
Archaeology has a few pretty nice rewards, pure rewards were posted on MMO-Champion a while back. There are a couple of vanity items just like the Raptor, but also Level 359 epic Items. Also archaeology gives XP, a few patches ago it was really a lot of XP and I leveled 84-85 within 2 hours just by doing Archaeology. Unfortunately the character copy queue is full, so I cannot check if it is still as amazing.
I had posted a little video of how archaeology works on beta. This way you can get an impression how it plays. Thanks for the feedback.
