Spirit beasts special abilities

[Anyia]

As we all know by now, the exotic pet families get two abilities, called the Exotic Ability and Special Ability respectively (all pet families get a Special Ability). For spirit beasts the Exotic Ability is Spirit Mend.

What I'm curious to find out is if all the spirit beasts currently share the same Special Ability or not.

On the PTR my Gondria still has Prowl as the Special Ability, and I while I realize both cats and prowl in general is still up in the air, I'm curious what the other spirit beasts currently have. I foolishly logged out from the PTR to enable the rare-finder addon, and can't get back in now to go chasing after the other spirit beasts.

Wouldn't all spirit beasts have the same powers? They've always treated them as a single species to-date?

Also... are we certain that prowl is indeed their special ability in cata? The reason I ask is because currently prowl is provided as a bonus skill, e.g. it's given in addition to a cat's rake, spirit beast's SS, etc. So by that same reasoning I would have expected spirit beasts to have prowl in addition to heal and one other spell... if prowl truly is the spirit beast's special ability, then by the same token cat's (in cata) would seemingly have to regress back to their 3.0 beta days of having only prowl for a special ability...

Well that is what I'm wondering. I can't really see Arcturis having Prowl... so what does Arcturis, Skoll, and Loque'nahak have currently? Anything?

I can say that right now, on the PTR, my Gondria has Prowl listed as Special Ability. Whether things will stay that way I don't know. I'm trying to get an idea based on what the other spirit beasts have so far.

I'd say post on the suggestion/PTR forums and point it out. Odds are Blizzard either doesn't realize what's up with this or is working on something else to replace it.

Whether it remains as their special ability or not, I'm pretty sure all spirit beasts will have the same set of powers... including prowl - besides making it simpler for Blizzard I think the reason why they all have prowl is because spirit beasts regardless of size are ghostly and as such can disappear as needed, by shifting back into the spirit world or etc (e.g. unlike cats they aren't just hiding behind stuff) - think Cheshire Cat.
