Hilariously, that's EXACTLY why I wanted that specific worm on my undead hunter. It was going to be like her pet puppy that just happened to be growing in her gut until it got too uncomfortable having it in there, at which point I was going to have her pull it out and bam, hunter pet. /gross
As for my disliked pets... I can make exceptions for everything except primates. Nope. Will not, will not.

That was the goal. I may recreate her for this very purpose. I remember thinking 'well, if I'm going undead, I'm going seriously undead', and I spent all her levels pretty much just cackling maniacally as I disturbed everyone around me. Good times!

Old-world worgs - There are some lovely colors and all, but I hate the run. I loathe the run. Another thing that bothers me are the floppy patches of fur hanging off the sides of their faces. I mean, what the heck is that? Bleh!
Wow, a LOT of my favourite pets are really hated here... Poor things D: *Hugs her Sambas, black-with-white-spots-kitty, Loque, Warp Stalker, yellow worm, devilsaur and DISEASED WOLF (Best wolf EVER, in my opinion <3)*
Anywho. I'm fairly sure the only pets I REALLY don't like are gorillas. I can stand monkeys a LITTLE bit cause I kinda like how they look.. But that doesn't change the fact that they're MONKEYS. *Has a bit of a fear of anything monkey/primate that's not a lemur*
I'm not all too fond of how crabs look, but I can stand them at least a little bit.
Why does everyone hate the diseased pets?! Felpaw woofies are the best ever! *Hugs a bunch of the Felpaw Wolves from Felwood* <3
I agree Senna, I adore diseased pets, especially the wolves. They're soooo cuuute!
Monkeys, still.
Though I have a problem with Nether Rays... Not with their model, I adore their model. It's the whole "I'm stuck in walking animation" thing. HATE. Can't stand it. Similar thing with the Northrend vultures - they'd look great with my tauren, but they drag their butts. No way.

Agreeing with you there. I LOVE how Nether Rays look, but... UGH. Why can't that stupid bug be fixed?! Agh! *Flails* I want a stinkin' Nether Ray that doesn't bug the hell outta me with its "lol I'm not gonna fly" thing! Dagh!
Yay diseased wolf love! I dunno why, but I find them the cutest out of ALL the wolves in this game XD
I can find something to like in everything but the Gorillas. Their bodies, and faces, and animations, and sounds make me want to scream. Also, when I leveled my first ever hunter, a black male Tauren I had a black gorilla for 10 levels (I did a sort of random pet challenge thing every 10 levels) and though he was good (this was back when only they had Thunderstomp), I COULD not get over the fact that he looked like some derpy little brother of my Tauren's. As soon as that "pet challenge" was over I ditched him as fast as I could.
Aw...I just want to defend some of my favorite pets. I love the colors on Winna's kitten -- but then, I'm a troll. We have a thing for vivid colors, carnival colors. And TumTum, my orange gorilla, is currently my favorite pet -- big old comforting guy, like what a bear should be. And mastiffs! So cute! Those and the green parrots are the only ones I've ever had in my living room. Well, except the time my mom babysat someone's python.
Okay, models I don't like:
Any cats: Their back legs are all broken. Every step they're griding the broken ends of their femurs together. No wonder they're always screaming.
Bats: Their back ankles are broken...they couldn't land if they wanted to. Their wings have slits in them, unlike any real bats.
Spiked raptors: They don't look like any living critters; they look more cartoony than the old-world raptors.
Saber worgs: They'd break in half with that waist. Their jaws are broken, too...can't even close their mouths.
Wolves in general: I want to like them. I love love love the animations on the coyote models. But their hair is so spikey and stiff, it's like they were all rolled in egg white and dried.
Shale spiders: They're not animals.
Spiked crabs: They look like they're made out of granite instead of crab shell.

I like gorillas ok, it's just that I like turtles, beetles, worms, shale spiders, crabs, scorpids (new model) and rhinos more...

Seriously though, I think the Demon Dogs are pretty ugly but... then again I think they aren't meant to be beautiful.
Also, the silithid with the brain coming out and undead/diseased animals are pretty ick too.
In no particular order.
1. Bats, true Tulie my forsaken hunter does have a Vampiric Duskbat named Nergal. I am just waiting and praying for a better model to come out and switch him with.
2. See through pets like most of the Spirit Beasts, it just seems silly that all they are is a solid color and see through. I want more spirit beasts like Loque and Skoll.
3. Monkeys.
4. Ravagers, the anatomy is just weird and random.
5. Silithids
6. Hyenas, they are so close to being something I want to tame. Just a few changes, like the teeth. Also I would love if they laughed more, like gnolls do, I was bummed by the lack of giggling I heard from my Shiggles.
7. The non-fuzzy worms. But mabye thats because the fuzzy worms are so much better.
8. Sambas, it just doesn't look right.
I would have to add silithids as well - the "original" look, with the tiny vestigial wings. They used to be cool, until cata when they changed their walking animation to this weird, hunch backed position with short mincing steps, that looks like someone just dumped a barrel of water over them.
And "exposed" brain bugs. Blargh.
Non-exposed brain bugs I like, and I'm also partial to the ants - especially since they added more colors than just brown.

I'm with you there Litlemouse! Zyra, my black cat with white spots is the first "keeper" pet I ever had... Got her back a few months after release, and used her exclusively until my recent luck with rares. Tamed her in Stonetalon Peak... I loves her Need to take her back outta the stable now that I think I'm done with hunting rares for the moment
As far as hated looks.. the leggy spiders... hate 'em... I'm a bit of an arachnophobe... and those leggy spiders just creep me out.
I also agree on the wrath wolves/worgs... They look like they've been starved for months, poor things. Too stylized. Skoll is an exception as his supernatural effects and origin provide somewhat of an explanation for his stylization (same with Loque, love my Kinsy )
Saber worgs - They're nicely rendered but their permanently fixed open lower jaw and weirdly bent legs make them look like they're two seconds from barfing a hairball.
Old world turtles - Never liked 'em, though the skins are nice enough. I think it's their heads.
Old world crocs - SSSS GRONK GRONK SSS GRONK SSSS GRONK GRONK GRONK SSSSSS GRONK *shoots self*
Monkeys - Lousy polygons, lousy noises, too small, bad skins... I dunno, these pets are horrid all the way around.
Gorillas - Less horrid than monkeys, but their derpfaces and ass scratching irritate the hell out of me.
Foxes - Love the model, hate the noise. They sound like they're rabid, slobbering, and being violently shaken, all at the same time.
'Firefly' wasps - Too bug-eyed. The glow is neat, but they don't come in any color combinations I like much and I'm not a fan of the base model.
And finally... I -want- to like the spotted nightsaber; the gray-black with white spots is nice enough, but they also made the tear-line white and I've ALWAYS felt it made them look like they were crying milk. It's weird.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket
