Oh you a defiantly right, the line between beast and elemental is getting stretched further and further all the time, no doubt about that. There are also the fire/magma tarantulas and scorpids also.PorrasouxRex wrote: Going by the Elemental theme again, we have Core Hounds, Terrorpene, and probably Fiery versions of certain families next patch. Why wouldn't Phoenixes be an option if not only are Fire Hawks swarming the place, but also Blaze Wing circling the area as a great chance for the BC model to become a rare skin?
I guess my main ponderous thoughts would be that the current phoenix model was originally designed and derived from the blood elf mage unit in WC3 as an ultimate spell. (hence Kael has always had such an affinity with them, it was his spell) Due to the sam wises design they also never had an legs or feet to speak of. They were actually summoned and they would slowly burn and consume themselves til death, only to spawn and egg and be reborn a short time later.
Maybe it's just all the lore attached to them that imo makes it a little less likely a candidate, I'm not sure. That said, I would not complain if they were made into a model, in fact I would love it just as much as you
