Hello all! (and let's talk Spirit Beasties)

[Palladiamorsdeus]

Kodo's would probably make good spirit beasts in that case, Veph.

I want a DIFFERENT wolf spirit beast. I HATE the Northrend model for wolves. Give us something closer to the......I just realized where I was going with that. Basically, give us the damned spirit wolves back. *LAUGHS*

Spirit beast fox!, oooh that would be nice

dark brown with a shimmering white hase over its body firey green eyes and have it leave white frosty paw prints

ooh and for the love of all thats holy, make that damned mettal kitty up in storm peaks tameable

[Vephriel]

Ooh, or what about a Hippogryph or a Gryphon spirit beast? Then there's mana wyrms, talbuks, zhevras....so many possibilities.

For Spirit Beasts I want to see more original and unique skins and models like Loque, not existing models with a graphic effect placed on them. The Spirit Beasts that came after Loque struck me as lazy implementations, I'd rather see something that specifically ties the Beast to a spiritual foundation and mythology. Loque'Nehak is the mate of Har'Koa, a Troll Loa spirit. He has a very specific spiritual foundation and place. The rest of the Spirit Beasts are just random existing models with a graphic on them and no real purpose.

*nods* I would be happy to see any new Spirit Beasts to be honest, but I definitely agree with you that we need more unique ones. Loque was so stunning when his model was first leaked because there was nothing else that looked like him in game. I really love Skoll, but it does seem rather irksome that Blizzard hasn't bothered to make any brand new models. I can only hope we get some in the future, especially since Cataclysm will have such a momentous affect on the world of Azeroth itself. It's the perfect chance to create some new spirits that have ties with nature, or the elements, or something. I don't mind if not every spirit beast is unique, but I don't want them to get lazy and keep rehashing old models to throw at us.

I also wouldn't mind some lore behind each of them instead of, as you said, just having them exist with no prior connections or reasons.
