Curse

I was working on the pet articles on the official wiki and there are a couple pets which are no longer in the game which I am having trouble finding screen shots for.

One of them is the Fern Lizard, which was appearently found in Pre Searing Ascalon back in the Beta of Guild Wars. It is a slight modification of the Dune Lizard, from what I've heard anyway. I was wondering if anyone had any screen shots from back then with the Fern Lizard in it so I can prove its exhistence and maybe even add a picture to the wiki.

The other pet which I would like some screen shots of is the Pygmy Hippo. This pet was available during the nightfall preview event but was unfortunately removed from the game to save on loading time, a proper explanation for the reasons is given (quote from Gaile) on the discussion page of the Hippo article on the wiki. I was hoping someone had some good screen shots showing the model in full view, good lighting and not in water so I can rework them like I did in the Panda article to make it look more like the other pet images. Any help anyone can give on this is appreciated.

I've got hundreds upon hundreds of screenshots from beta.

I'll take a look for you, see what i can find. It will take a few days. NO guarantees I will find pics of the animal in question.

You can find the Fern Lizard listed in the Prima guide with a picture (Someone around here might have one and can scan the pic). It was across the wall in Pre-searing Ascalon way back when. :\

Could you post some interesting pictures of other things in the beta also? I'm very interested in how it looks, as I've only seen a few screen shots of it...

Just steal the screenshots from GuildWiki. There is no copyright problem as GuildWiki doesn't own the images.

The image on Guild Wiki isn't very good. I was hoping we could come up with something better. On the same note, if anyone has a screen shot of the full body of the Crane before the changes were made I would like to have one of those as well. I just want to document it on the wiki.

Fern Lizard isn't even listed as a pet in the Prima Guide (pg 187), and I've gone through it from cover to cover and can't find even a picture of a Dune Lizard. A few of drakes, but no lizards.

EDIT:

Found this site, but it looks like he used the dune lizard picture for both the dune and the fern.
