the lizards look...awfully underbudget. The fins are almost certainly completely 2D, which is a mistake when slapped on a 3D model. Looks like wolf animations too, though I could be wrong and hope I am.

The rays look nice, but my god can't they take better images? Flat things don't look that good when viewed at that sort of plane. Angle em a bit!

Potentially! We'll have to wait and see. We don't have access to Nazjatar yet so there isn't any way we can check if it is a special mob or if it is just a generic one.

Curious if these will be members of the Worm family or be their own family.

These "Wolf Eels" are pretty cool.

I'm sorry Blizzard, but I need these snails as a pet.

Pretty please, with sugar on top? :( *pretends to put googly eyes on the snails*

As much as I'd wet my pants in joy if we get anomalocaridid pets, battle or otherwise, where do you see traits of one? That's just a normal chitinous look, unless I'm not seeing lobes and/or great appendages.
It's not 100% the same, but bobbit worms don't have quite the same side-lobed look as this thing does. They've got leggy bits down their sides. The lobes on this one are smaller, but still similar, I feel. The antennae also remind me just a touch of their eyes.

So less a straight-up translation of one and more inspiration. It's still a worm, it just kinda looks like anomalocaris to me.

I know it's folly to hope for it, but I'm still hoping that we get some kind of crustacean silithid, or maybe a shrimp silithid? Peacock mantis shrimp-silithid cross?

You know, like Kunchong were to Pandaria.

I want the black/blue and glowing purple ones, my god. These need to be tameable. I saw the glowing purple one is a battle pet, but I hope they don't make the mistake of not making a tameable one too.

I want to see what they look like holding a Crab Shank

Probably the same as the spiky crabs we have now. AKA, Blizzard will forget to let them hold one.

Also, I am absolutely sold on the black and blue one now because it reminds me of Metroid Prime. Just wish there was a black one with white highlights and a red face.

I hope this means I get to tame a shark. I always wanted a landshark. So much so that I at times made one on my own:

Could be. The Tidal Guardians, Snapdragons, Spider Crabs, Shark Rays, etc. would all be considered aquatic beasts, so they might be what he is referring to.

It would be very exciting, but I thought he was referring to minipet classes. Maybe not.
