i was thinking about what kinds of spirit beasts would b in pandaria and had an awsome idea.
what if for MoP blizzard made spirit beasts based on the animals from the chinese zodiac. i think it would work with the asian theme of the expansion well.

Damn, I wanted to have dibs on the spirit rat! I guess I'll have to settle for the spirit rabbit instead.

Admit it, you only want it for the endless string of innuendos.
Even if they couldn't do this I was thinking that they could have humanoid bosses or rares based on almost every zodiac creature now. With the addition of a couple more in MoP there are humanoid races, or at least models, based on just about every one! The only one that I can't think of is the sheep, but even then a satyr could probably pass. Are there any humanoid models with curly horns?

I'm born under the sign of the dragon. I'd be S.O.L. because we can't tame them.

Oh c'mon, we'd get a spirit warp stalker for a dragon. Which I'd camp forever for.

You and me both would be SoL. Though we could get a basilisk. They're kinda like komodo dragons.

They could cheat and make it the sign of the DRAGONhawk

What could another word for a Rooster honestly be that could be taken the wrong way?
"A rooster, also known as a cockerel, cock or chanticleer, is a male chicken" -Wikipedia

Maybe instead of tameable pets, they would have Rare Spirit Mini-pets. You could mini-pet all of those, and maybe they're as big as those Camel statues and are hidden around the world on rare-spawn times.
