Mukleeches are a great and creepy new addition to the worm family, and in a range of great, shiny colours.

I saw a bunch in Zul Aman, but I'm not sure how many are currently tameable.

Finally for last night's additions: Consumptors - also in the Worm family.

This model reminds me a little of the jawlcrawlers from TWW, though more rocky.

The attention to detail with this one is just 100/10, from the red nose to the fading look that makes it the superior mana wyrm model
Yes!! They did such an awesome job on this. It shows true attention to detail. They must have gone back to the concept designs for Eversong when creating the new version.

I'm curious and wondering if anyone can fill me in: are the 6-winged dragonhawks also a call-back to an older version of the creature? Maybe from one of the earlier Warcraft games?
As far as I know, no. They always had a pair of wings rather than three pairs, but I honestly prefer the new look.

Great job on the new additions, Wain!

I didn't add much tonight, but I think I'm actually almost done with this phase.

Just these three light and dark phoenixes:

... and this one lonely fungal strider, which is unlikely to ever be tameable. It has no family, but also it seems to be very massive in the model viewer and would probably require a scaled-down version.

I *think* all I currently have left to add are the new dreamrunner looks (which are mostly older textures (besides the pink) but on the other model).

Can anyone think of anything I missed? Besides all those kaiju things that aren't going to be tameable.

Oh, and the lynx with the tiara!

You covered everything so far from the database, and that sure is a lot of new looks this time around! Midnight's looking stacked in terms of new unique looks, and I'm horribly impatient; where's the fast forward button on life so we can just play already lol
