We'll just have to agree to disagree then :) I think mandibles would be much more menacing!

Oh, some mandibles could come in handy, yes.

Dat boar. I do believe I need it. And I'm extremely curious about what the riverbeast's model will look like, and if they reused a skeleton or gave it its own animations.

Tamable Frogs!? Maybe!? Possibly!?

You can see one starting at 10:25.

It's hard to gain perspective on the scale of this creature in relation to how it would be standing next to one of our avatars but it does seem much larger than the battle pet version we're accustomed to in the game already. If it is what I think it might be ... then I am all over that baby!

***Edit: WAIT A SEC! I forgot there were fireflies buzzing around the area (the kind that can be hunter pets)! IT IS A LARGE FROG OF TAMABLE SIZE!!! OMG!!! I LOVE YOU BLIZZARD!!!***

Now just make them a new pet family m'kay ;)

I'm probably gonna be disappointed, because this expansion already has a lot of interesting creatures and models that I would love to tame, but that will probably not be tameable! xP

Frogs have been on my short list for new tameable families for a while!

Maybe the maggot/parasite worms will be tameable in WoD. =)

The frogs on the Timeless Isle are already of tameable size, and can appear as your Dire Beast, so there's already nothing to stop them being credible pets :) I may not tame one but I'd definitely like to see them available, as they're something a bit different.

It'd be nice if they were returned :) I honestly always thought they were a bit weird as a pet as they seem to be a big sack of goo without much of a brain, much like real maggots. But if silkworms are tameable, then anything goes ;)

But your mention of worms reminded me. Outland (and so presumably Draenor) is home to sand worms and bone worms. What would be awesome is if those models (which are effectively identical) were finally given tails and could slither above the ground. The animations for switching between submerged and above-ground already exist for Jormungar, so hopefully it wouldn't be too hard!

Yesssss! Then Magmaw would finally come home with me! <3

(just have to throw it out there- love the dragonfly. I'm all about the big, ugly, mean looking pets. woo bugs! xD)

You guys are giving me all sorts of ideas about what they may do this xpack in terms of making old creatures tamable. maybe this is when they reintroduce yacks and beavers? frogs? Certain flying dinosaurs!? I didn't stop to think about just how many MoP creatures could qualify for this. And if outland worms could be tamed I would probably have to get one of those too. (maybe name him spice >_>)

Erm...Yaks and Beavers never existed in Draenor though, not that I'm aware. Those two seem to be strictly Pandaria.

Yeah I think she meant making existing creatures tameable, rather than adding them to Draenor :)

But maybe instead of yaks we'll get horny clefthooves. And non-horny. They'd certainly flesh out the horribly small and unpopular rhino family. Though yaks have so much personality I'd love for them to be tameable.

Maybe. I mean I'm not against it! I thought she meant adding em to Draenor. x3

*snrk* Naughty Wain.....

Though they'd have to change the name of 'Horn Toss'

Yeah I was referring to how they usually take creatures that are already in game and living in the old world and just flag them as tamable when they make a new xpack.

and I agree with the whole rhino family thing. They could use more variety.

Well whadda ya know!? I had never made it to the Timeless Isle before but I'm sure at some point, I had heard mention of the frogs there and just forgot.
