Muffinus MAYHAPS hinted at a certain long-tongued deviant animal becoming tameable! May also just be him having fun, but...

One of the first quests in Hyjal has you feed them berries so that they will show you where cultists are hidden. When you feed them, they talk to you. There is also Brightwing, who is a Druid Hall companion, and she also talks.

I found two more tameable Gorm wasp colours: white and blue. Prior to this only purple was known to be tameable.

These looks can be found on two separate wasps, both called ‘Gorm Egg Tender’, in the Gormhive area in south-east Ardenweald. Oddly, while the white is level 60, like most things in the area, the blue is only level 55-57. I wonder if it’s unintended.

Blue one is a tad muted in that light, but that's a good thing. It's not overbearing, it's not too bland, but it's just right. I wanted the purple one, but seeing blue with proper ingame lighting, I want that one more now.

They'd make great Wind Serpents.
Or their own family.

Serpents are ok since they have more flying serpents than wind serpents like they could of Merged, but both families would of been good, or a new wind runner family with windsteeds since they’re related to cloud serpents

Both or their own family would be fine by me.

How's about those Brutosaur, though? Scalehides? Lizards? New family?

That's it; I need cloud serpents in the stag family now because of the comparison to windsteeds.

Hunter A: Check out my stag! It's a rare unicorn!
Hunter B: Check out MY stag! It breathes ionized lightning and has jet-black scales!
Hunter A: But that's not a-
Hunter B: GET IONIZED!

A bit late to the party, but I really hope we do end up getting giraffes - I haven't posted here in a while, but I still read many of the new threads from time to time for pet updates and information; however, as you may be able to tell my by avatar and signature, I've been wishing for tamable giraffes since 2004 (and it makes perfect sense/ease to drop them into the Stag family, which is already a pretty broad church).

Avatar made by the awesome LupisDarkmoon. Tameable giraffes please!

Goats
Yaks
Shoveltusks
Stags

Giraffes!

Cloud Serpents are unique enough to be their own family. Yes, they have serpent in their name, but they are very different from those found in the Serpent and Wind Serpent.

Well, not sure if I agree after Abyss Worms, but sure. I don't mind.

Muffinus is talking about Bugsnax on twitter. Now's the time to calmly and discreetly suggest Kunchong, as well as any other tasty bug tames!

Giraffes belong with the:
Goat family
Stag family
Oxen family
Other pets in my stables

All answers are correct as they share a common family in real life (Pecora), but Muffinus is giving the Guarm poll treatment to giraffes. All but confirmed at this point.
