Look like a spirit beast to anyone else, or is that just me? >_>

True. :P

This beaver also gives off a spirit beast vibe to me.

(This would actually be an ingenious way to get beavers in as a tameable pet without making a new family just for them. xD)

IS FOR FITE! And sometimes heal!
Bahhhh but it basically looks like Ghostcrawler, but a porcupine.
So either I replace my "Zarhym" or I don't.

OR... How about that THUNDER BEAVER? I think I would add a 4th spirit beast into my stable if it was that guy.

Please Blizzard give us an opaque spirit beast in this expansion. :3 I'm so tired of all the see through ones (even if I do love some of them). The turtle and beaver are interesting.

I second this. It's freaking awesome. My turtle might just get replaced again if that is tamable.

I know most don't want a cat, but I would love a cat still. I don't care for that ghosty porcupine at all, assuming it is a spirit beast.

Excitement! Keep the info coming! (As it comes of course). I love seeing new stuff even if it comes with the disappointment of not being tamable.

I personally don't like the porcupine spirit beast, my fingers are crossed for a raptor, devilsaur, or pretty much anything without that same spectral look. And if all we get in 5.2 is this porcupine, I'll be pretty disappointed. Call me selfish I guess.
Sorry, but no thunder was stolen; I always link to the Petopia threads for breaking news. :) Credit where it's due, which is on the forums! I can't say the same for other vidmakers who lurk and don't source us.

I'd also be disappointed if that porcupine was the only new Spirit Beast. The turtle would be nice but Spirit Beasts don't have armor, at least not so far.

I agree with Kalli. And on that note, let's leave the snide personal attacks out of this topic, plox. Don't soil it with such. If you got a personal issue with someone, take it up with them.

I agree that the beaver also looks like a prime Spirit Beast candidate.

She links to the original thread on her videos. She gives credit where credit is due.

She posts those videos to help others find the pets, not to gloat about her taming the pets.

I doubt 5.2 will only have the porcupine, to be perfectly honest. As others said, it looks like it just didn't make it into 5.1, which is why it's out of place. I'm sure they had other rares intended for 5.2 that will still go ahead.

If a turtle with that skin is made tameable, I'm definitely changing my Terrorpene to that look.

However, I'm 100% sure it's the model of one of the raid bosses, so it's less likely than the spirit porcupine or beaver.
