Nighthold Scorpids
Essentially they're crystal scorpids like the Amber one, but they're in different shades; red, green, and blue I saw. They're trash mobs in the raid, leading up to the first boss, Skorpyron. I was in LFR so I didn't get the chance to really look them over myself, dunno if they're even listed as Beasts, and was just looking to see if there was any information or speculation on them at all thus far.
So yeah! I don't think they're tameable right now, haven't seen any around whatsoever nor are they listed on Petopia as said above, but I was wondering if it was just that they were classed as something other than Beasts or whatever anyone's thoughts were.
Thanks to Vephriel for this awsome sig

It's a shame because they're beautiful models, but I seem to remember some discussion around that previously.
Re: Nighthold Scorpids
I've been thinking about finding a way to add them to the untameables data, but there are definite issues with the model, as Veph mentioned. They use newer technology and are composed of about half a dozen different models that are somehow assembled by the game and work as a single unit! There's the main body, the stinger, two antennae/feeler things, and also a couple of other crystals. Somehow the game takes all those things and makes them work as a single model, with physics data to tell them how to behave. The new pennants on Vicious mounts work the same way : the flags are separate models and swing independently. Unfortunately Wowmodelviewer doesn't support that right now, nor do the model viewers on Wowhead and MMO-C. For the mounts on WCM I did some creative work to look like they had flags attached, but it's much harder for the scorpids. I'll see if we can get it supported by Wowmodelviewer and get decent screenshots at least.
Anyway, apparently those issues mean they can't be tameable (at least in current design) because it wouldn't spawn the entire model. Or at least that's what I was led to believe back in Beta. Whether it's still true or not I'm unsure.

On the main family page they'll be initially hidden inside a collapsed row, since they're untameable. Thanks for the suggestion
