New Goblin hunter: Theme Ideas?

So, I'm thinking of making a new little goblin hunter, just cause I have a lot of cutsy names lined up, and I feel they'd much more suit a goblin hunter than my current hunter. I figured, this time I'd try and actually go for a theme, just to give myself a bit of a different challenge when playing her, as opposed to just leveling ANOTHER alt.
My first thought was colour changers. And it's a great idea that I think I'll run with, but the problem is even if I get most of them, that'll only be about half my stable (And that's with getting doubles). So, I'm looking for some suggestions on a secondary theme.
Right now, I'm really leaning towards orange pets. But i'm just looking to see if anyone else has any other ideas that might end up sticking out.

something related to greed, riches, hordeing, or thievery... or mischief and mayhem.... a bunch of cats fall under a few of those categories... when you get to 85, will definitely have to get karkin and any tameable gem cats, can use any pet you think a rich sultan would have in his personal "zoo"

I had the rich/valuable pets idea, but not entirely sure I wanna run with it. For one: I'm hoping to get mostly DIFFERENT pets than I have on my main hunter, and she already has all the molten front ones I wanted.

My goblin chose "bright" pets as her colour theme, perhaps that would work as a secondary theme for you? Another idea is perhaps, um, "industrial" pets - oil stained hawk and wolf, other pets that could be found around industrial areas/oil spills/smoke/etc.

Goblins, being small, strike me as more likely to be flamboyant and in-your-face than the taller Horde races. Especially those who (like one's character) are interacting a lot with other races.
That's certainly how I'm playing my baby hunter Anhelia; the contrast between her and Mindala, my troll hunter main, is quite striking. Mindala's quiet, a bit withdrawn, a perfectionist, somewhat shy, and outside of war a peaceful person. As, by now, an experienced battle-worn veteran, she's had her fill of violence and won't incite any she doesn't need to. Her scars and her veteran's armor attract all the attention she needs and more besides; she'd rather avoid it.
Anhelia is ... scrappy. Brash. A bit driven -- with the desire to be noticed for being good at what she chooses to do. Min would deal quite happily with being good and nobody noticing except those who matter; Annie wants to be seen. She chooses flashy pets and the fanciest gear she can afford and shows them off.
Another style of goblin is the rougher, more "working-class" type -- more concerned with practicality and profit than glamor. That goblin is more likely to pick efficient pets than fancy ones. This is the goblin that'd auction the flashy gear they got, not wear it.

I like the idea of the bright pets

It'll let me focus on orange pets, but allow a little wiggle room for those families who have no orange skin, or acceptable colour changers (I want a colour changing old world wolf

NR ones kinda bug me...). Plus, it'll give a little tie-between the two themes, since some of the colour changers are quite bright, if not exactly orange.
