VIP Pets: White Tiger and Black Tiger for VIP Silver and VIP Gold

Tigers are no longer made with the Tiger Claw: they are now part of VIP. With VIP Silver or VIP Gold, every hero receives the White Tiger and the Black Tiger in the bag when entering the game, ready to ride from level 1. To ride, equip the tiger in the inventory mount slot (I key).

Both tigers were redrawn, with new idle, walk, run, attack, rear and hurt animations. The Black Tiger has a dark coat with ember stripes. From level 40 the stripes of both tigers glow: ice blue on the White Tiger and bright embers on the Black Tiger.

The Dark Lord's Shadow Horse has new art: a black war horse with golden armour and a violet flame mane that glows brighter from level 30. Mounts now turn together with the hero along their path: with regular heroes they face 3/4 front or sideways, in the same pose as the rider, and with Masters they turn in all 8 directions. The rider's legs hang down the side of the mount.

VIP pets always stay with the hero: they cannot be sold, traded, dropped or stored in the vault. If the VIP ends they disappear from the bag, the mount slot and the vault. When the VIP is renewed they come back at the level they had. The Tiger Claw no longer drops from monsters; anyone who still has one can sell it to any merchant.
