There actually are Yaks in at least one area of Highmountain.
I'd say that makes them a good candidate for one of the "new old families"!
Although if a few Pterodactyls were to randomly be added for the sake of having a "legitimate" reason to be tamable, I wouldn't object at all either

Thanks! I completely missed those! I should have picked a better example

am I the only one around here who hopes those naga will finally bring a coatl or snap dragon with them to tame? :3

Coatls for me for sure! Though I'm very much hoping they'll make it as a mount. The idea of a windserpentesque mount makes me giddy with delight!

ZoMbIe BeAr! or call it whatever you want but make it happen!
It is in game but it is labeled as undead. Could put these in the mountains of the new zone and call them arctic grizzly, frost grizzly, etc., etc.

I want more spirit beasts. With unque skin like Loque'nahak. Not just recolours of old models!

Don't even know what I want as new pets anymore..
But, I'll be at Blizzcon for at least one day, so I'm going to do my scouting again assuming they have a playable demo zone, and see what I can find.

I'm not really predicting but I really, really hope they make new lynx models that actually look like lynxes!! \
They probably won't, but I'm crossing my fingers for someday.

I'm really hoping they slip some pterodactyls in.
I could see more hydras, since the naga have been known to keep them around as pets and guardians. I'd also really love them to maybe add snap dragons as an alternate warpstalker skin.

I second the lynx colors. A black one would be just wow.

pretty sure i just saw a black bear with a new model when they previewed highmountain on the livestream. Was caught off guard and didn't catch a screenie of it- but keep an eye out!
sadly it had its butt to the cam.

From a hunter perspective, Blizzcon is pretty disappointing to me. The same moose model we've seen since the first trailer, and a bear. The rest is all demonic or humanoid.
Oh well..

Any pictures possible? At least we're getting a new bear model, then?

Demon spiders
Sorry for the bad screencap, the streamer was...less than acceptable in seeing nice things. It's a yellow spider with rocky legs and butt. Face had glowing green eyes and no visible mouth.

Okay, so I tried to sneak a peek at some screenshots. Seems like we get new spider models (spindly-legged, no tarantulas, sadly; have hope for Highmountain, though):

Also found basilisk-ish creatures:

Underneath the left wing. (our left)
New bear butt:

I also saw a new cat model pass by which was pretty obviously based on the Blizzard store arcane cat mount. Not too unexpected, really:

Pretty cool, I guess. I wish we had tarantulas, to be honest. Those need an update.
But.. no mouth? So no real fangs? Just a typical spider head we've seen before?
Shame. I wish they had a little more obvious fangs like the Nerubian flying spiders.
Thanks for the shot by the way! Much appreciated!

Neat pictures! I hope those gray kitties will be pets, lol..
The little peaking basilisk-fellow is cute ;v;

Oh nice catch with that basilisk! I hadn't noticed it at all.
Looks neat!
I'm glad for more spiders but a little sad they're not tarantulas, alas.
I'm sure we'll be seeing more creatures in the future too, they're not really going to be the focus at Blizzcon and they might not have the models all finished yet. Crossing my fingers for some cool native beasts.

almost forgot about the cat. at first i thought it was a druid for some reason.
don't forget the owl art they showed when talking about wardens.
