In general or in the Molten Front? These are the only ones we've found in the latter. The green owls in Dragonblight are gem pets, and the red snakes in Tanaris are also gems.

Wow, that is super gorgeous, and I don't even like crabs. I might have to rethink that.

As far as usused there's also this blue gem owl which I am hopeful will show up someday as Wain or Noah had said it was slated to be used at some point.
Seeing that there's more skins being added this patch gives me hope that this owl will show up soon!

As far as I know, it is used with the effect of the sapphire owl figurines, and used as the model for the ''spirits'' in the RP event in halls of reflection.
But still, would totally
love to see this as a pet.

Actually that's not unused. It's used in Halls of Reflection. :3 Imprisoned Soul - Lvl 1

The serpent is considered a gem pet?

I've never seen one in person. Only saw screen shots and they didn't look very gemy. Cool. A reason to go online!

Seeing this guy, I am SO tempted to make a jewelcrafter hunter, and get all of the 'gem' pets. Like this guy and the new kitty, and the pretty emerald bird. And whoever I'm missing. Not that I have time to do so, but it's a neat idea, lol.

Karkin sounds really simular to the name karkat, and seeing how karkat represents the constellation cancer and has a crab lusus.....
did blizzard just make a homestuck reference?
I AM SO TAMING THAT CRAB NOW!

Ha, I figured out how to get into that area without dying. I noticed someone else was hugging the ledge and made it across without dying. So I followed suite and managed to catch a peak at the green spider Kalliope manage to tame. Right before server reset to.

Really? ANOTHER crab?
The only reason I liked Ghostcrawler was because he was a ghostcrab. I mean... how much more randomly awesome can you get?! Sure, bring out you spirit bear.. your spirit kitty... your spirit wolf... but i got A SPIRIT CRAB MTFR!
But to see this metallic crab, and a matching metallis cat... I'm sorry but WoW designers are failing.
How about a spirit devilsaur?
Or... another Skoll/Loque type spiritbeast where they are... you know.... NOT INVISIBLE.
Instead..
'Lets make a cool lava-spider! But... so save time... we'll make 4 different coloured ones

herp derp.'
instead of...
'How about another Maddexx type pet that sporns in different colours? But a lava spider this time!'

I am pissed and disapointed.

I'm going to guess you missed the other threads this was addressed in, Dakka, but the metallic cat and gem crab skins were unused skins that are just now being made available to players for the first time. The lava spiders are all completely new skins; it's no different than Madexx showing up with a new model in five different colors.
You're entitled to your opinion, but your tone is not appreciated.
