Need Some Suggestions

I just made a little Worgen hunter, currently level 20, and I realized that I still only have the little red fox I tamed. After a lot of browsing through pets, I thought I'd got with an "unwanted" theme for pets, taming pets that usually aren't tamed or are overlooked for whatever reason. Don't care if it's a rare skin/spawn, but would like a variety of the talent trees.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions!
Going hunting for a Hyena, Tallstrider and Windserpent real soon, the others I will make a note of and hunt for them as soon as I'm able.

This data is somewhat outdated, but Zardoz collected some data about pets back in Wrath:
Pet Family Popularity
Hunter Pet Skins

Scorpids. I almost never see scorpids. Or silithids for that matter. Especially the boss ones. Spore bats and Nether Rays don't get much love either.

Thanks for all the suggestions, and the links!

Got loads of ideas for what to look for as I level. Decided to try to stick to darker colored pets, or earthier toned ones where I can.
Been a busy hunter today. First I ran to the Barrens and tamed this guy. Loving the Hyena run.
Also got myself a Tallstrider.
While flying into Ratchet, I saw a black spot under a tree. . .I wasn't planning on taming any cats, but it seemed to me like he was waiting there just for me.
While questing in a Furblog filled area, I came across Cuddles. She seemed lonely, being the only spider in the area, so I had to give her some love.
And Skip was feeling left out, so here he is.
My next adventure will be off to the Ghostlands to find a Dragonhawk and brown bat.

Aww, I tamed the Turquoise Tallstrider for my Worgen, too!
Also, maybe a hawk of some sort? The Golden Hawks are rare to see around, also Chimeras out of PvP.
Edit: I also think that the Jormunger Worms found in Dragonblight up in Northrend are rare to see, too. They're also 'poop-your-pants' huge, even when you tame them.

Aye, all I ever see now are devilsaurs, spirit beasts, cats, and spiders. I haven't seen chimaeras a whole bunch either, but it'll be awhile into leveling. Still something you might wanna consider.

I must say, hunting down these pets has been fun.

Even better, I found a few pets I really like. I gotta buckle down and level so I can tame some of the other suggestions.
Met Methuselah here in BFD. Fell in love with his rather grumpy look, and his run cracks me up for some reason. *hehe*
Sniffle here. The boar idle animations are just too cute.
Confused many higher levels (and a few lower leveled BEs) while hunting for Magma.
Last, but not least, Belfry.

Bears. I LOATHE bears. Some might love them, but I can't stand them and rarely see any on my server.

Top of the 'unwanted' list: sporebats
I can't think of a time when I seen anyone with them as a pet. Also WHU loves them:

I use a dragonhawk and a semi-normal wolf as pets sometimes! So there are those of us out there that use non-new pets or spirit beasts!
