That seems like a correct guess.
Kunchong for hunter pets!

I kinda love it, I'll be honest :,D I never really clicked with how big and chunky regular corehounds are, and as silly as the single huge head looks, I like this sleeker and toned down version of what a corehound can be. Definitely my immediate favorite aside from Chromaggus.

Blizz might make the core hound a pet unique to Dark Irons, similar to what they did with Voidstalkers and VEs.

I personally really like it, but I get what you mean. I think we're just so used to it being a hulking two-headed animal that this, being the opposite, looks strange.

I love it! So much nicer looking than their two-headed brethren. <3

I think if it actually had a neck instead of HUGE EXTENDING HEAD then body.. It'd look a little better.
A lot of creatures are going the way of the NONECKALLOWED.
The armored version makes the no neck thing a little less noticeable though!
Siggy under construction!

That kind of how they have always been, but their collar covered it up. These ones aren't wearing a collar so it is easily noticeable now.

Still looks a tad oversized to me tho! It's certainly rather jarring, but also I can dig it!

Looking at it is like looking at a mirrored face, like your brain knows what its trying to see but can't even
But yes its just trying its best. THEYRE ALL GOOD LAVAPUPPERS BRONT
Edit: on a serious note, do we know the skeleton/animation its using? Is that worg?

It uses either the old coyote skeleton/animations or those of the cat/cat form. It has a dance animation listed, which both the coyotes and cats have. Won't know for sure until the animations are fully implemented.

It's hard to tell from the T pose alone, but it looks like it could be the worg skeleton, the same that's used on the Illidari Felstalker and Draenor wolves.

I actually like it, though it looks more alien and less hound to me. Interesting design, at least.

Hmmmmm. Not tameable at the moment, but lots of HD gryphons flying around sound Drustvar.

It's not a (Dark Iron Dwarf) Core Hound. It's a Dark Iron (Dwarf Core Hound).
