Kunchong
Mantid use these pretty much like hunter pets, and they also have a very strong resemblance to the already-tameable silithid colossi. It might be worth splitting silithid colossi off from silithids, just like silithid beetles and wasps are, and creating a new kunchong family with these two models.
I think most or all of these are available somewhere....

Elemental Birds
Phoenixes and Fire Hawks seem to belong together in one "firebird" family. They're currently classed as elementals but could very easily be reclassified as elemental beasts. Both are used as trained pets (by NPCs) in certain situations and they have the behaviour of beasts even if they're fiery. Might make a good exotic family
Phoenixes
Unavailable:
DarkPhoenix: Harbinger of Darkness
DarkPhoenix_Spectral (with armour removed) : light and celestial in form, could be found on the Plane of Air
Available (assuming they're set as beasts):
Phoenix : Blazewing (Rare) etc.
Fire Hawks
Note: many of the fiery effects on fire hawks do not render well in WMV. Please do not judge the in-game model based on these blocky pictures!
Unavailable:
FireHawk_NoArmorGreen
FireHawk_NoArmorPurple
Available (assuming they're set as beasts):
FireHawk_NoArmorRed : several mobs in Molten Front and Firelands
Flametalon Mounts
Flametalons are a fiery version of the "Raven God" mount from Sethekk Halls. They could easily be turned into special rares. What family they would belong to is another matter as they are more like raptors than birds in shape
Unavailable:
FireRavenGodMountGreen
FireRavenGodMountPurple
FireRavenGodMountRed
Gyreworms
Gyreworms used to be beasts. Most have been reclassified as elementals, though a few newer ones are classed as beasts again.
Available (assuming they're set as beasts again):
RingWormPurple : used on a couple of mobs in Legion
RingWormAmber : Kyparite etc. in MoP
RingWormEarth : Gorged Gyreworm etc.
RingWormOrange : Terborus (Rare)
RingWormRed : Enormous Gyreworm
Hell Hounds
Hell Hounds are classified as elementals but they're included here in case Blizzard ever change their minds. Shannox (Salamander hunter boss in Firelands) has two as pets, and they do behave just like dogs...
Besides the appearances listed here, some looks have options where the flames are the same colour as the base skin.
Unavailable:
HellHoundBlue - Blue Fire
HellHoundBlue - Orange Fire
HellHoundGreen - Green Fire
Available (assuming they're set as beasts):
HellHoundGreen - Orange Fire : Adarogg (Ragefire Chasm)
HellHoundOrange : Ancient Charhound, Riplimb
HellHoundRed : Charhound, Hell Hound, Kelbnar, Rageface
Cloud Serpents
You may initially have doubts about this group, but there's actually an NPC precedent for these. Mogu hunters are accompanied by a smaller cloud serpent pet on Shane'ze Dao.
Unavailable:
PandarenSerpent_White: present in the database but entirely unused
PandarenSerpent_White (alt): present in the 'alternative' database and used for the first Arena season cloud serpent mount
Available:
PandarenSerpent_Black : Wild Onyx Serpent, Subjugated Serpent, Onyx Stormclaw
PandarenSerpent_Blue : Shan'ze Cloudrunner
PandarenSerpent_Green : Shan'ze Cloudrunner
PandarenSerpent_Red : Shan'ze Cloudrunner
PandarenSerpent_Yellow : Shan'ze Cloudrunner
PandarenSerpent_Black (Lightning)
PandarenSerpent_Blue (Lightning)
PandarenSerpent_Green (Lightning)
PandarenSerpentRed (Lightning) : Alani <the Stormborn>
PandarenSerpent_Yellow (Lightning)
PandarenSerpentGod_Black : Hei Feng
PandarenSerpentGod_Blue
PandarenSerpentGod_Green
PandarenSerpentGod_Red
PandarenSerpentGod_Yellow
CelestialSerpent - maybe a potential spirit beast?
Pachyderms
Probably not, but if they were as big as a rhino they'd still make a manageable and credible pet...
Elekks
Unavailable:
None. All accounted for!
Available:
ElekkWild02 : one of several colours of the Wild Elekk
ElekkWild03 : one of several colours of the Wild Elekk
ElekkWild01 : Elekk Demolisher
ElekkWild04 : Bull Elekk
ElekkWild05 : Tusker
ElekkWild_Pink : Pink Elekk etc. (seen when drunk by Allerian Stronghold), others are seasonal with Brewfest. Would make a very unique pet if only seen when drunk! (and in pvp!)
Mammoths
Unavailable:
MammothSkinOrange: looks like it belongs in Ulduar. Assuming a no-harness version exists. Seems to have no animations in WMV
Available:
MammothMountBlack : Shattertusk Bull etc.
MammothMountBrown : Shattertusk Mammoth etc.
MammothMountWhite : Stoic Mammoth etc.
Hawkstriders
Hawkstriders are included in the "Pet skins that are still untameable" list, under Tallstriders. There are currently no hawkstrider models without saddles anyway.
Armadillos, Giant
Probably not... They could have made cool tanking pets but they look a bit low-res when enlarged.
Unavailable:
ArmadilloBrown : the standard Armadillo mob in Uldum (though it's small), and one of the colours of the tiny Hairy Armadillo critter in Desolace
ArmadilloCrystal : doesn't seem to be used in the game. Has a purple and blue mineral colouring. Would make a great addition to Deepholm
ArmadilloGreen : doesn't seem to be used in the game
ArmadilloOrange : one of the colours of the tiny Hairy Armadillo critter in Desolace
ArmadilloStone : used on the giant rare, Armagedillo, though this beast has extra spikes added. The look would suit a natural beast, or a stony elemental beast for Deepholm
Camels
Very unlikely...
Unavailable:
Camel_White : unsure if used on a beast at all
Available:
Camel_Brown : one possible skin of Wild Camel and Camel
Camel_Gray : one possible skin of Wild Camel and Camel
Camel_Tan : one possible skin of Wild Camel and Camel
Horses
Very unlikely...
Unavailable:
HorseSkinEvil: used on Fel Steed (SFK), which is a demon
HorseSkinZebra : unused. This is the only zebra skin that is included in the horse model folder.
Available:
HorseSkinBlack
HorseSkinBrown
HorseSkinChessnut [sic]
HorseSkinPalamino [sic]
HorseSkinPinto
HorseSkinWhite
Giraffes
Maybe not, but who knows?
Unavailable:
None. All accounted for!
Available:
GiraffeSkinDark : used on Longneck Grazer
GiraffeSkinStriped : also on Longneck Grazer
GiraffeSkinSpotted : Barrens Giraffe etc.
