Yeah, I saw them as little venom sacks for them to spit. Reminds me of
Otachi.

Yeah, so if the argument for removing them is "they wouldn't fit"... well, the skulls in every zone seem to fit just fine. I'm actually working on a just-for-fun quest/lore explanation for this... I'll post it eventually.

Maybe we'll see them in Broken Isles, seeing as it no longer seems to be a concern whether beasts feel like they fit anymore, or any care about the history of it. I hate to be bitchy but the way they designed the wildlife of Draenor made me feel like they'll just do wtf they feel like on the day and resent being tied to any pre-existing lore.
I'm with you there. Like you said in an older post, it seems like they decided anything remotely strange came after Draenor exploded into Outland. Then, the strangest existing creatures were either exactly the same or absent.
Nether rays? Gone.
Flayers? Gone.
Hydras? Okay, I actually really liked these ones. These were fine, although it doesn't seem possible for them to realistically evolve into the Outland versions. Oh well.
Warpstalkers? Exactly the same.
Spore creatures? Exactly the same. (I didn't mind this one as much as the others, though.)
Ravagers? Oh, they look completely different and are pretty much Silithid, but that's because they're "normal" now.
Worms? Exactly the same as Jormungar, despite being from completely different environments, and we never did get those awesome centipede models.
Chimeras? Oh, they're less alien-looking now, and apparently different enough to warrant a new family.
The fact that this was such a late change to cover the lack of dragonflies, and that up until 6.2 there were one or two leftover rylaks in the Chimera family makes me feel pretty sour. It's like making two families for "Cougars" and "Mountain Lions". And of course, the most unique chimera was never implemented.
But instead, witness the incredibly diverse new fauna of...
Boars, wolves, hippos, talbuks, clefthooves, and elephants!
Not only is this land from an alternate universe, but it's an alien world. A savage and primal alien world, at that!
... And a very large portion of its wildlife are large mammals almost identical to the ones we have on Earth.
We know we're getting moose in Legion, which is great... but could we have some less traditional creatures, too?
