Description: Part fox, part eagle, and part wolf

the head of a fox, the forelegs, and wings of an eagle and the body of a wolf they would probably be put in the feathermane family.
They could come in: white, black, orange, brown, purple, blue, and grey.

( I'm on US\NA servers.)
Heh...you know, you're the first person I know who's even heard of an Enfield, other than my friend who uses one as his SCA blazon. Cool!
Thanks! Several months ago I went through just about every page wiki had on fantasy creatures looking for ideas for crochet dolls, there are some really strange creatures out there!

Wow, this is going to be hard to decide! :( So many great entries.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas. It's been a lot of fun to read. :) I'll lock this thread now and we'll get to making decisions. I can't give you an exact time but hopefully by Tuesday evening in the US, perhaps earlier. I'll post the winners' names here and contact them directly to check which prize they'd like. That should give us heaps of time to get the virtual tickets out before BlizzCon on Friday.

So here are the winners! This was so hard to decide, because there are so many deserving entries. Thank you to everyone who took the time to post their ideas. I hope everyone had fun and enjoyed reading through them as much as I did.

In the end we reluctantly narrowed it to eight, four pets and four mounts. The winners, in no particular order, are:

- peanutbuttercup for her paddleboat idea. We felt this was the most unexpected and fun mount idea (with just the right amount of silly!). Perhaps something fitting for the Darkmoon Faire
- Dewclaw and pop for both posting kangaroo ideas. They were different but also similar enough I’m posting these two winners jointly. I think Pop’s antlered koala sketch stole everybody’s heart.
- SylviaDragon for her sea serpent pets. There was a lot of detail went into this one! We can hope that we see tameable aquatic beasts like this in the next expansion
- Niabi for her hippocampus mount. These would make beautiful mounts. With the “seabraid stallion” files datamined it makes me wonder if these are going to be a real thing
- Inay for the awesome void beast. We felt that this was a really unusual and original look that could also make an awesome pet.
- Slapperfish for the spiderstrider. I guess we’ll soon know how much of Silithus remains
- Moonith for the mechanical frog, which could be a lot of fun.

I’ll contact you all by PM to get further details.

Sorry to everyone not on the list, because you probably deserved a prize too. I’m not lying when I say how agonising it was to make a decision. Hopefully we’ll run another contest soon :)
