Hmmmm, probably this:

Ravagers don't look very good with my character anyway, and a bright orange one would just be the worst.

For my goblin hunter, Slumlost:
Image
I picked up Bayne on a whim, and abandoned him very soon after. Looked just dreadful beside Slum.

For my dwarf huntress, Durana:
Image
All bats really, but the white one in particular. Same thing as with Bayne; I grabbed one, tried him, released him soon after.

Pretty much any undead or sinister-esque beasts (i.e.: demon hounds, ravagers, corehounds, bats, spiders, scorpids, serpents, etc.) alongside a Draenei seems like a contradiction to me.
The same concept applies to my Forsaken Huntress. Anything cute, cheerful, or colorful just wouldn't seem appropriate.

I think this thread could use some picture examples! The pet my draenei hunter goes with least well is Sambas, probably. She's a draenei with dark purple skin, he's that weird dark tan/brown with bright blue eyes, and his model is just so detailed compared to hers it's just too... ugh.

EDIT: Here she is with my sister's Sambas:
Image
Not as cringeworthy as I thought, but still not too endearing to me.

Also in general, rotting/undead/ghostly pets. For a Forsaken? Yes. Draenei? Does not work.

For Donachan, my space-goat... Terrorpene. He'd look horrible next to her. She's light shades of blue and he's... most definitaley not.
For Aeladrine? The pink scorpid. Not with her hair colour! Tarik, her ghostsaber, also looks unfortunatley rather drab next to her. ):

In case you can't tell, I like to colour coordinate my hunters with their pets.

I tamed Nuramoc on my blue-green, orange-haired lady-troll once. That was a mistake. *shudder*

Actually, my draenei has the same wolf, and I love him lots!
Terrorpene looks great next to you but Dona's colouring is all wrong for him. ;)

For some reason, a spider with Constantyne has never seemed right. I've tamed a couple, but released them soon after as it just didn't work somehow. He likes the furry things too much :)

I felt that way for my female blood elf until I tamed one of the bone spiders with magenta/violet accents. The mob was called something-'Broodmother' and I immediately named her Mama and fell in love. Never want another spider :)

I love Gorillas as hunter pets, and many of my characters are Orcs...

but an orc hunter with a gorilla for a pet seems just a bit visually jarring. Side by side it's almost as though you can see some sort of family resemblance creeping in. The tusky underbite, the heavy brow, the facial creases, even the way the ears stick off!

Uncanny (valley) resemblances aside, I'd still be willing to pick up a Black or Dark Grey gorilla if I rolled an orc hunter.
This skin, on the otherhand...

...the orangey-red flesh and cold blue eyes makes this seem like a visual example of a "compare and contrast" essay.
