Miqo'te Male Emote: 'Defending' with Hands in a Cat-like Manner...?

I can't seem to find what emote does this, but it looks like you're about to get hit, you defend yourself, and you put your hands up in front of you in a very cat-like manner ... hands curled outward, one higher than the other. Almost like you're about to get hit.

I wish I could share a screenshot, but this has only happened during a couple of crafting cut scenes, namely an early Goldsmith scene, and another as a Leatherworker. They're unviewable in The Unending Journey. I thought it was an emote you can do normally, and the precise pose actually fits the race quite well. I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

I've always wondered this.

It sure as hell isn't in the emotes list.

Not certain, but try /shocked

I went through every one of the emotes in the list when I first saw this back in beta and against after it was released and it's nowhere to be found. It's a cutscene only emote apparently and I'm disappointed because it's my favorite.

I think it's a unique emote, which makes me a sad kitteh.

Kitties of the world, unite! Rise up against our emotive oppressors! Raise your paws! Defend yourselves! Okay, we can't, except in specific cut-scenes...

Can someone link a video or image of this, possibly?

Agreed. I have no idea what emote people are talking about, but it sounds adorable. I WANT IT.

I've only seen my character do it during those little cutscenes after you finish off a Crafting Quest. I know it was in the Carpentry quests (because I just got done with that so it's fresh in my mind). But it's pretty much what the female miqotes do in their scared emotes I think? It's just curling of the hands to look like paws and a little jump or a lean backwards? It's NOT in the emotes for male miqotes and it always makes me sad I can't do it on command! SE stop teasing and let us have it too! ;_;

ah i see, im guessing the male version is different but you could say the developers stuffed up the coding for those certain cutscenes you talked of and made you're male cat do the female cat emote instead.

Similar to how in the ending of story they call you Him no matter the gender. Just a typo in coding in other words

Start a petition to make the female /shocked unisex!

It was either /shocked or /surprised for my female cat when I did them lowbie crafting quests.

I noticed it on the level 25 marauder class quest when you get jumped he does the shocked jump back in surprise and raises his paws. Very cat like I remember seeing it and trying to replicate it but I couldn't :(
