I play as a void elf female, and when I have a summoned dreamrunner out I cannot use it as it is far too small (in my opinion) to actually be 'a horse' if that makes sense? Its bothered me since they became tameable and I've not used mine though I love the model

Do the horses scale properly and look like real horses in game, or are they shrunk down to a size that looks incorrect?
I posted a few of these a few pages back, but I'll repost this one here here. Coursers do shrink a bit when tamed. They're still taller than a manasaber and end up sized more like a large pony or a smaller horse breed.

We killed his raptor, killed him, took his mount, killed his raptor again, killed him again, got his mount again, and now we can tame his raptor? Bloodlord Mandokir is a nice punching bag. Also, it's a saddled fossil raptor. Someone, go check ZG!

Here's some screenshots with my VE Hunter. In the first one, I got it right as Tame Beast finished casting. You can just barely see the reduced size of the tamed version starting to form at the base of the neck of the original model.

The next screenshot is on a Gilneas Mountain Horse mount for size comparison, then my hunter standing with two of them. They're decently sized.

I really hope the Gorm Matriarchs become tameable. The only thing I can see that they're lacking is a swimming animation, but I think there are currently other tameable creatures that lack it and it could probably be added in at some point.

On a side-note besides the tameability request. If you're reading this, Muffinus: the Gorm Matriarch model is broken on the WoWhead model viewer but I'm assuming it is ingame too. Its bottom right (our left) limb/leg is really wonky, probably something to do with the skinning. It has the same issue as the lava scorpion has had for a while wherein its leg is.. well.. it's not even a leg anymore.

It's not that noticeable during its idle animation, but any other and it breaks.

They're really feathermanes.
Did they change it? When I tamed them last week they were cats. Also, massive.
