@Muffinus :O Does this mean #Talbuks are on the horizon?!

@NemesisG2 They are members of the new stag family #GetHyped

@Muffinus ... Wait, with the picture, is that a -tamed- stag?

@Shdw_Brkr Yep

Now this is confirmation! Thanks for posting these!

@Muffinus Are Gazelles considered stags? I'd love a gazelle for a pet!

@BlahBlahblabbe1 Yes, they are.

*sets off fireworks*
and here I thought that 50 stable slots would be too much! good thing i have 2 level 90 hunters now since I will need room for a hoard of new pets in wod.

[Makoes]

Yeah, finally starting to feel like 55 slots...might not be enough, lol ^^ Guess I should finish leveling up my other two hunters!

[Vephriel]

I AM SO EXCITED I'M JUST GONNA DO THIS FOR NOW

I know. I didn't think the stables we have now would ever be too small for me.. but... now? So many new pets we've been spoiled with, so many I need to tame. Thunder and old hydras, riverbeasts, new ravagers, new raptors, new wolves, rylaks, thunder isle birds (both adult and hatchling), stag, clefthoof, talbuk, kaliri, any new spirit beasts they come out with.. If we end up getting them, I'll run and tame a shoveltusk asap as well.

What?

WHAT?!

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!

OOOOOOOYAY! OK. I know which stag *I'll* be getting. SQUEEEEE!

.... I wonder if giraffes are close enough to gazelles. Probably not. But then, I'm just gleeful over the gazelles.

[peanutbuttercup]

What, gazelles too?!

*Looks at stable* Ugh, maybe I can make room on my main for one... can't decide between these two:

or

My alt hunters are going to get LOADED up on stuff for sure. Like I know I want talbuks too, but not badly enough to try and squeeze them in to my main stables.

And now I'm wondering about both giraffes and rams as well... do I need to roll yet another hunter?

[Vephriel]

*crosses fingers*

[Lupen202]

Deer and stags look powerful, and not to mention, can be very deadly IRL. But these gazelle look so delicate and peaceful. Still pretty awesome though, especially the plagued one. Do you know if any are actually classed as beasts in game right now? I haven't really paid attention in the past to whether they were undead or beast.

[Qraljar]

*crosses fingers*

Felrot Coursers are beasts, and they have been for a long while. I'm sure (and I hope, because that would be awesome for undead hunters) they will be tameable.

Theres a brief discussion on his twitter that says he thinks Shoveltusks are more like boars than stags. https://twitter.com/Muffinus/status/493478963910807552

This made me oO so I looked it up... Am I missing something here?

[Lupen202]

Maybe because of the tusks? O.o They aren't really stags or boars or rhinos. They're pretty muscular and sturdy animals unlike other stags, but they aren't really boar-like either. In fact they could probably fit in any of the three, but I would have thought they'd fit better into stags.

[cowmuflage]

Shape wise they are built more sturdy like boars then stags. I've never really pictured them to be like stags.

[Wain]

Shoveltusks are weird. Funny, Kurasu and I were talking about that a day ago. They kind of have antlers but kind of have tusks. Like a pig mated with a moose.

[Maizou]

I wouldn't mind seeing Shoveltusks added to boars though. Give them more variety.

My curiosity: Will Rams be included in the Stag family? Possibly Goat?

My biggest hope in WoW for a pet has always been a Giraffe though. v_v
