Never seen new colors in wild. Do I need to search at specific location or what?

when people take off their characters helmet and stand in front of it to take a pic to submit it to a pet thread this is what i see:
LOL, that character wears a circlet, so you don't see it on the ingame model, but that's pretty funny

Perhaps a possible use for the skill Item Identification in the future? I don't think it serves a purpose any more at the moment.

Has someone already posted what the Abyssal nightmares looks like? Are they actually a mix of 2 hues red and black?

It's not technically abyssal..like the abyssal cloth color really

Here's my pure black mare and the ~Abyssal~ next to each other.

Ossein Ram – found in Deceit level 5 at the lichlord and silver serpents spawn , then I was killed :D
The pet looks like an enormous Ibex or Capricorn :).Very coo!!!

Sorry, could not make a pic - i died faster than i could look - and blackwhite/grey also looks good, but colored pics are much better I think
Pershaps someone's so kind to take one ?

Blood Fox – found in Ilshenar...... is there someone who have found this nice one here? If yes - where in Ilshi and how does is look like *curious*
Takes a minor miracle to solo tame one but finally got one tamed .............. and out alive.

What location did you tame the pitch black one at?
Kirin Pass. I have 2 now....spent about 4 hours in Wind Park, few hours running around the Corrupt Forest...no joy...I seem to have the most luck in Kirin Pass. Still haven't found the one with the white splash on his face though :(

We must be having the opposite luck... after hundreds of mares I've seen a dozen or so with the white spots, but none of the other.

I have some of all 4. Three of the light short mane, one dark short mane, one long mane with white spot and two abyssal. This is after 20 hours or so of farming. I accidentally killed an additional light short mane and long mane with white spot. :(

Woo thanks Trill! The RNG has not been on my side lately......but I did finally FINALLY get the elusive white-spotted Mare! ;)

The Frost Drakes are the same colors as the Dragons correct?

When it comes to Frosts.. is any hue rarer than others? Or are they all about the same? Hate digging up maps or would watch for myself lol

Unfortunately, they don't look any different in the EC.

Here I have both clients running side by side....someone on here explained why they don't look different.

They look like a part of one of those inkblots from a Rorschach test, in the EC.

Wow.. have not used them but have fought them. I was hoping the "run off" AI dropped off them once ya tamed them lol.
In needs to be fixed. Half the time it runs itself out of casting range... but even if it didn't, without a slayer, pet casting does pretty garbage damage if that is ALL it does. I want my pet to fight AND cast.

In case no one say this from the most recent news letter Q&A section:
(May's UO Newsletter)

1. Are you aware of the issue with Baraccoon and Medusa changing the hue of pets?

We are aware of this potential issue but have yet to been able to reproduce internally, if this occurs please send a bug report with the following information

1) What shard, what champion spawn?
2) Did they log out at any time before they noted the hue changes?
3) Did they note the change during the encounter or after the encounter?
4) Did they actually finish the encounter? Were they present when Baraccoon died?
5) Did they note the change at the champion spawn or did they go somewhere else?
6) If they did go somewhere else, where did they go (specific locations would be helpful)?
7) Did they mount the Cu Sidhe while it was in rat-man form?
8 ) Did they have any other effects in place (gift of life, any taming masteries, etc.)?
9) Anything else that might have been unusual that occurred prior to the encounter or immediately following the encounter?

These are the different colors that my guild got in two separate evenings using just 3 maps each night...
Some of them were still in the stables too
