If that was directed at me, sorry?
I'm just calling them as I sees them.

I mean, I get not liking a model, but I feel like proclaiming the new saber model has the head of a rat is a tad bit hyperbolic?

Not really, the old sabers looked more like their real life counterparts more than these do, Bowno isn't the only one to see it.

The Panda cats do it best though.

It's not exaggerated if a rat is the first thing some people see when looking at the new models. :| :mrgreen:

I'm guessing that's for that sleigh model. Wonder if that'll be a mount. (I doubt it, but it'd be cool)

I'm not trying to be rude or nitpicky about it o_o
I'm just saying, that they have rodent faces. Not feline faces.

I love the new sabers, but even I thought the face was kind of rat-ish, especially on the grey with blue eyes. So it's not just you. :hug: I do adore them though and can't wait to tame one (hopefully? the taming passes for this expansion have been kinda poor imo...)

But tossing it out there, for what it's worth Wowhead states that they will not be taking the place of the current mounts (I wonder if they mean to say they believe they won't be? or if they actually know for a fact?), and instead are most likely drops from the new upcoming Warfront. So I'm not sure they're meant to be an actual replacement?

Yeah, it's for the sleigh. It's based on the druid travel form rather than the wild stag, like you can see it has longer ears.

He looks angry. Probably because nobody will let him join in reindeer games.

It could also be Olive, the other reindeer, who would laugh and call him names.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.
