Possible new pet models?!

[Quiv]

Those fel bats look sick! I imagine they'll be demons, but if they are a taxi, they better be a mount!

[Equeon]

They look more like updated gargoyles than bats to me... realistically, they'll be a mount, if anything.

Tame your own fearsome fel-flyer for $24.99... coming soon. :/

[PorrasouxRex]

Yeah, those fel bats look more humanoid than beasts with those limbs. But I wouldn't complain if they were tameable.

[Teigan]

I could see that as being an animal, not a humanoid. But then, Blizz considers the makura-shrimp-crab-things humanoid, even tho we eat them in various quests.....
It would be awesome to see even as a mount, though. It's quite unique and well done. Whatever it is, I like it.

I hope one day we get cute Jumping spiders pets. ones that do the peacock spider dance. would be amazing. They could be an exotic and their dance mesmerizes enemies for a few secs and also has a "trick" version for show. or do a pounce that pins the enemy for a few secs! Just want a colorful cute jumping spider someday. gah!

[Equeon]

Looks like the bat and basilisk will be mounts! Found in the first round of datamining:

inv_felbatmount


inv_felbatmountdh


inv_basaliskmount

[MaximumOverdrive]

So DH get a felbat mount too like the DKs skeletal gryphon?

[Lupen202]

It's possible they get two mounts - the saber as their ground and the felbat as their flying. And it certainly seems that way since one of the mounts has "DH" at the end... But I'm crossing my fingers for a felbat for all classes, those things are amazing.

Hrg, same, I hope there's at least one as a general mount. I love the felbat models so much!

So new crystal scorpid up on MMO-Champ.



It looks like the stinger is missing. I presume it's supposed to be there.

They also depict a worm with evil sha-like effects, but it's just the in-ground half-a-worm style of model again. Sigh.

No Beta access yet. The Beta isn't open. MMO-Champion and Wowhead are swiping their data directly from the server, which is something I don't know how to do

New wolf model. This is obviously a special boss, but the underlying model has clear differences to the Draenor one (though there's an obvious relationship between them). It looks way more savage and its head looks smaller and feels way more natural, less cartoony to me. Maybe there'll be a wild version!

[Quiv]

That wolf looks straight up MEAN

[Keilden]

Horse pet! Or not

[Wain]

Horse pet! Or not

You, too, can be a horse's arse!

[Slickrock]

Horse pet! Or not

You, too, can be a horse's arse!

That's probably for some silly quest...

[Zalani]

I really hope we can tame than scorpion, such a nice model.

[Equeon]

Oh, that crystal scorpion is beautiful. I'd be shocked if we couldn't tame one.

If we can tame them, I know I'll be naming mine after a certain League of Legends character...

Wow, it's beautiful. I like it. It's how a wolf should look. I wonder if they will make more in a similar fashion to this model, but one you can tame

It remind me a lot of a worgen druid in bear form.

[Zarola]

MMO champion also posted new Creature Family - Mech.

This really screams 'Saber Worg' to me, Wain. Perhaps this is an re-envisioned/updated version to the old Wrath models? Sorta? It's a bit more beefy then the current ones, but only the Saber Worgs have the giant top canines like that. Maybe we'll see a few non-boss versions!
