Their ears are also animated on the worg skeleton and flop about, whereas on the cat skeleton they seem solid and just part of the mane.

*HUGE sad face* I like having color but hate the cat skelli on them....loved the worgie If I had to choise either worg with no color or cat with color I'd probbly choise the worgie one...just looks much more like the creature taken from asian lore they are styled after.

There ya go fixed it. Foo dogs are what white people call them and so not their real name.

Oh I know. I merely added in Foo Dog since a lot of people are familiar with that creature even though thats not their real name. XD Admittedly I was one of them, but I have since learned.

And WOW. Those comparisons....

holy crap. Worg skeleton all the way.

I definitely prefer the worg skeleton... makes them actually look like a mane, and not just some misplaced fur.

I think they remind me of Yojimbo's dog from FFX. That's one of the main reasons I prefer the worg models, xD

Side by side really shows how much better worg skeleton is for them. The face looks sooooo much better on the worg skeleton. The animations are just down right better. I do hope they go back to worg skeleton.

Bouncing EARS in the walk. That makes me happy. WORG, please? If I had beta, I'd totally back ya' up on the forums.

Amagad i really hope they put it back, its so much better on the worg. SO MUCH PUDGE.

I always thought the cat skeleton quilen looked oddly squished and unimpressive. The worg skeleton solves that by giving it a proud, upright stance and an imposing profile. I hope they change it back.

i must say i like the worg look better than the cat one also and i am not much of a worg lover but i thought it looked so kewl, and why not have another or differnt look to the wolf or worg here in MoP

i looove the cat run.. if they could have the cat run but worgen everything else i´ll be happy

The Worg run looks ~really~ bad xD That's the down side to the Worg Skeleton. The idle stand looks great, but the run, walk and attack animations look awful.

Really? I think the quilen make even the painful run look excellent, myself. I hate it on worgs, but it seems to just... work for these guys.

The worg run is adorable on the quilen.

I'm hoping the change back to cat skeleton was an 'oops.' xD;

Personally I kind of prefer the dog skeleton - it's not that the cat skeleton looks bad, but rather that statues irl normally use more of an upright / attentive posture (being guardians and all) like the dog pose, which somehow just seems to fit better for me. Whereas the cat skeleton just makes me think "mutant lion hoping not to be noticed".

Part of it is that originally lions were described by word of mouth and therefore became depicted as glorified pugs / foo dogs because that was the closest thing Chinese artists had to go by at the time, and from then on tradition > reality.

So they look like a foo dog but are called a foo lion.

But that's like if everyone agreed to call turtles geese.

Meanwhile when this confused statue made its way to Japan through Korea, it was renamed komainu which means "Korea Dog"... so not just white people.

Ah I stand corrected then.

/crrrryyyyyy

I raced to 87 to tame one, only to get there too late to the worg skeleton party!

Don't give up hope - it could get changed back (and it should - despite the literal name, fu lions' appearance and character (loyal, obedient protectors) was based primarily on the pug dog, and it's cultural charm derives from this)
