If they get any bigger then I may not tame a goat after all, and get a Yak instead! If only they had the Rhino's punt ability...

Y'know... If these fellows remain in the goat family, I may not be too upset about no rams yet (though, I agree that the name will likely be changed, Yaks =/= Goats.)

Woohoo Yaks! I couldn't find a tameable black one but I came across this little blondie. She's adorable and will be my companion for now until I can find a tameable Mayhem. They're so tiny! I hope they get a bit bigger eventually but for now tiny fits Goldie just fine :)!

They could do with the size they turn under Bestial Wrath being made the standard size.

Oh my gosh, this was the one pet that I really wanted that was actually somewhat reasonable! Yes! :headbang: I'm thinking of Appa as a name for mine.

Still, my stables now need yet more revision. I really don't want to lose my poor rhino. Arrgh, decisions, decisions.

I like the size they are now. Not to large imo perfect size.

I agree; it's like having a baby yak. :D

Course, if I could only keep one pet small, I'd opt for the porcupines. ;)

It looks like a fantastic size to me too. c:

It's like having a tiny rhino or kodo though, they are supposed to be large, bulky creatures. It might be "cute" to have little ones but it looks a little silly and a larger size helps to make them look battle-worthy. Small pets are fine when they make sense ala porcupines but I'm not a fan of them with the yak. My regular goat is twice the size.

EDIT: I don't want them to be huge but rhino size would be perfect.

I don't like the size of rhinos. Too big for me. They look battle-worthy to me at the size they are :/

When they are smaller than goats, something is up I think :P

And that's your opinion :) I'm not going to force the issue, but I do hope they get a little bigger (a happy medium between the two arguements). I wanted this pet since the MoP panel at Blizzcon showed the model, but this size, while not even close to a dealbreaker, makes them look more cartoony and cute than I care for, as opposed to their more majestic and powerful looking wild size or even Bestial Wrath size.

They're absolutely gorgeous at that size. I'd own one irl. It's like a pet dog with horns!

But the size is very silly. I'd be shocked if they intend it and will keep it. I suspect it's just going to some default size.

Eh, as for my personally, I'd like them to be larger. I mean, I'm a person who likes large pets (kind of like dogs... I don't own small dogs.. just big dogs :lol:) so that has to do with it, but I also just think... they're a bit too small. Like, even if they were just a bit larger it'd be better. Not rhino size, but not this teeny, despite how cute it is. :P
