I second ALL of this. Yay for Komodo dragons! And yay for Lung Dragons! <3

I'd LOVE to see badgers, by the way. Badgers are the most amazing things ever. (BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER)

Oh and I second the Land Shark, if only for the fact that I could hopefully tame one and name it Garchomp XD

Real/Real-based: Possibly a Jellyfish-style land/water based creature, a-la Man o' War (Image is actually a painting, everything else was either dead or obstructed view =/)

Mytical: Manticore, albeit a bit more lion-like than the link.

Most definitely.

Freaking unicorns.

Yeah, I went there.

This is a fantasy game with no unicorns! That's like a... a chocolate milk with no chocolate! And what do you say then, "oh delicious, a glass of plain milk!"?

And don't point at those unstriped zhevras--those are just bad horses with rhino horns :(

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a rare unicorn in WoW--perhaps one lone unicorn running around WoW at 400% speed on the ground, but if you manage to mount it, you get a Unicorn mount. The only issue with the idea of a unicorn in WoW atm, though, is that the horse model is rather bad--very chunky and "sourpussed." And trying to make something lithe and graceful, well--with the art style WoW draws upon, it has hardly anything that can be described as lithe and graceful :lol:

Ready for this?

No, I haven't been playing a lot of Heroes 3 recently...Ahem.

Scorpicores! Yes please! I'd name mine Stingy.
Serpent Flies/Dragon Flies. :D
Wyverns. Not the Manticore Wyverns, I mean the -real- wyverns. Preferably, Wyvern Monarchs. Cooler model, and they tear things up!
CERBERI. YES. YES. YES. YES. GIVE ME THESE. NOAW.
Rocs?

They have cloven hooves and beards like unicorns :) The horn isn't really classic unicorn, but since unicorns were probably based on reports of rhinos it's not a bad WoW slant on the beast :)

I'd have to think more about this, but ferrets would be awesome. Then we could say things like, "This is kodo, and podo..they're my thieves"

EQ actually had a decent manticore model; I wouldn't mind seeing something like it in WoW. R.O.U.S. would be pretty cool too.

Praying Mantis? Oh man, I would give up a spirit beast for that ^_^. Wait, well maybe not but I would tame it even if it was common :D

Ducks, Geese, Swans.. there are so many lakes, rivers, streams in the whole wow world, and no swimming birdies there? :?

And yay for more dinos.. a huge brachiosaurus and spinosaurus would be kick-ass.

And i would love a 3 tailed spectral fox :D

Personally, I would love to see Giant Frogs/Toads added to the game. I think they would make an interesting and unique addition as well as a future tamable pet.

Image Image Image

I am also in favor of the previously mentioned Praying Mantis and Firefly concepts. I imagine a Warcraft Praying Mantis model would resemble a cross between a Nerubian and those Rock Flayers from Hellfire Peninsula. As for Fireflies, I picture the current Wasp models (particularly the Outlands kind) as a jumping off point for the model design. Both ideas, I feel, would easily "fit in" with the types of beasts/mobs we can already find existing in game.

Komodo dragons/Monitors or any lizard from the Varanidae family.



ImageImageImage
Toads(hunter pet sized)

Image

Image
Mongooses,Ferrets,Badgers or Wolverines like creatures ( I could see them providing a haste buff)

For mythology inspired pets...

Behemoths.

Manticores(pretty much the Horde flying mount minus wings)

I'd love to see some frillneck lizards and giant iguanas. 8D
I can't imagine the iguanas would be too hard to add, it could just be an edited basilisk/crocolisk or something.

Also a cockatrice or traditional chimera would be awesome. The current chimaeras in-game are cool, but I wish there were some two-headed goatlionsnakes running around.

I would LOVE a Komodo Dragon :O And the Dragonfly thing sounds awesome too! <3 We have massive oversized fireflies and moths, why not Dragonflies?!

I want a winged goat. =3 With Succubus-like wings and a Baphomet-like head. =3 I know Blizz might not like it because of the possible underlying contexts, but eh, I can dream. <3

EDIT: I know it's already there, but I would love a Kodo. I would name him Beady. I know Horde have them as a mount but it's not the same! =3 I mean, we've got Rhinos, why not Kodo's?!

They already exist in the game. This thread isn't about what exists that you'd like to see made tameable :)
