A list of all beasts new in 4.3

This thread is just intended to be a summary/index list of all new beasts in 4.3, NOT just the exciting rare and new skin ones. Even untameable ones (from tameable families) are welcome. The reason for this list is so that I can provide an exhaustive 4.3 spreadsheet for Mania.

I'm not asking for anyone to post their finds directly here. Please do still post your own threads with all your finds (though it's still perfectly fine to just post them here if you don't think it's something worth making a new thread for). But please at least post a link to the thread here with a quick summary of what was found. If you can provide as many of the following details as possible (in your thread or here), it would be very much appreciated :) If you don't have all the details, others can hopefully fill in missing info later:
- Proper name of beast
- NPC ID if you know how to obtain it. Otherwise we'll work it out later
- tameable or not (please actually tame it if possible... there are many beasts who have tameable flags show up with beast lore, but in practice cannot be tamed)
- appearance (colour, skin name if you're really confident what it is, model type if there are different models for the same type of beast)
- level range
- rare or elite status
- zone/instance
- a screenshot so we can be certain of the colour
- any other quirks, especially if the beast is hard to find. Like if it's summoned by an event or during a mob fight.

I'll add to the list below as we go. Thank you :)

Darkmoon Tide Crawler (55475): non-tameable, old crab model, four colours (colour-changer: crabskinsapphire, crabskinbronze, crabskinvermillian, crabskinwhite), level 10 - 11, non-elite, Darkmoon Island

Thanks :) I'm not sure if all the bear cubs are recorded, but add him in for now :)

There are some Hulking Jormungar and Dragonbone Condors in Hour of Twilight. Would they be considered new? <.<

If they have the same ID / level etc. as the in-game ones then probably not, though it'd be worth recording the new zone for them if that's the case.

The Hulking Jormungars are 26293, the same as the ones in Dragonblight.

Alright. I think I lost the macro telling me NPC IDs so that's good to know. I figured they probably were considering they were the same level.

Thanks :) I should make a note of them anyway, so their zone list can be expanded.

Is there a link to the NPC ID macro somewhere?

There's a short version:
/run print("Target NPC ID:", tonumber((UnitGUID("target")):sub(-10, -7), 16))
And a long version:
/run local a=strsub(UnitGUID("target"),7,10); print("NPC ID(\""..UnitName("target").."\") = 0x"..a.." = "..tonumber(a,16))

I'm hoping there will be new ones on the Darkmoon Faire island!

Yeah, I somehow expected a few more by now, even just boring filler ones that look the same as old ones.

Noah must be super-busy!

I'm personally not overly disappointed, since we did get spoiled in 4.2. :)

Oh I wasn't expecting weird and interesting ones from Noah just yet, but since new instances had come out I had expected a few more boring "filler" eagles or cats or wolves or something at least ;) Has anyone checked out Well of Eternity yet? I've unfortunately not had a chance.

I was just going to post on Well of Eternity!!!
I was watching Jesse Cox's video on Well of Eternity heroic and in there is a bat called a Shadowf bat I believe that looks like the oil coated animals from the Borean Tundra.
Is anyone willing to run this and see if these bats are beasts and if so show as tamable or not???
Well of Eternity
The bats appear at 25:00

That'd be interesting to check :) Unfortunately I saw no other beasts in that video at all, though maybe there are some in the peripheral treed areas where players wouldn't normally bother going.

It looks like they have riders...are any animals with riders tameable?
