Warp stalker idea
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2014 4:38 pm
I was a little disappointed warp stalkers had the same model on Draenor as on Outland, I thought exposure to the nether had done something to them. But there's a possible hook for a new model, the model with big weird spikes is because they've been warped by some Breaker (the stone/grone group) magic. Their original form could be wingless fey dragons (scaled down to warp stalker size). In addition to having a cool lizard model (I assume adapting the model would be easier than making one from scratch), it would tie the Fae Dragons better into Draenor lore, instead of just seeming like a "WTH are those doing here" taxi mount and mob. Plus the blinking the warp stalkers do still fits for fey lizards.
The only animations that wouldn't look quite right are swimming, but considering there's hunter pets that don't even have swimming animations, I don't think that's a problem.
