...what do you think would be some new pets that could make an appearance? Personally, i would love if they added in a Japanese crane. A Raccoon dog would make an interesting pet but i could see them more as a minipet than a hunter pet.

Actually, on the Chinese servers, they got Jade/Onyx/Purple Gem cat companions. I would love to see the Jade Gem Cat companion added in game. I would very much buy one, or even farm =)

Lots of possibilities - 9 tailed fox and/or lion dog would make cool SBs, maybe an oriental stylized tiger or leopard just google Lafcadio Hearn for a whole bunch :D

I don't think they'll be that strict about it - switching the race itself to full Chinese (e.g. removing the samurai garb and such) was all that was needed to satisfy Chinese national pride; I wouldn't be surprised if the monsters are drawn from a variety of Asian influences. :)

Sorta kinda... to me they feel more ... kabuki-ish / Japanese but yeah similar in a very general way. What I had in mind would be bulkier and more stylized.

I want a dog that looks like a Shiba-Inu. They're SO adorable and can be quite ferocious if pissed off. Cute yet deadly. A perfect pet, and they're of japanese descent, keeping with the asianish theme. Seriously, is this not so adorable? And yet its capable of ripping your face off.

If they added a pet that looked like that, I would never use another pet again. :lol:

Far too cute to be a combat pet (not saying they can't be dangerous irl, just that wow combat pets normally look menacing even in idle mode), but would make an awesome minipet - I'd take that over the butt-scooting pug any day. :lol:

Akita, if not a Shiba? :) Seems fitting since they're very protective of their families. :)

I'd really love a few more dog breeds, def.

It will be intresting to see how this whole thing pans out cause there is a very very small chance that the Pandaran class or any mob/pet that represents a panda in the game as a attackable character cause of Chinese law, as it stands regarding pandas, they cannot be depicted or shown being injured, killed, mutilated, or otherwise harmed in any media. Blizzard makes alot of money off china so i doubt they will risk it by putting a pandaren class/mob or Panda pet in the game
