Warp stalker idea

[Xota]

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.

I'd like that really.

I think if they did a Gara-like thing for the sprite-darters the fey dragons could be used!

A sprite darter would be pretty neat, but I'm still holding out hope for the reptilian rylak personally. A long story line like Gara's would be neat, where you learn of an ancient sub-species of rylak that has been extinct for years. But there have been some rumors surfacing around Draenor of sightings - that point to the possibility of one still alive. The last of it's kind. Sort of like with Gara & the effigy items, you could find & collect clues around Draenor to track it down; you could question different NPCs, find a footprint, a broken horn or claw, a carcass, etc. ... and when you put them all together you'll know where to look.

I think if we DO get Farahlon we'll be seeing some unique new tames... it just seems like a hunter's paradise. Even Tanaan jungle. *crossing my fingers* for now ;-;
