Possible new pet models?!

[Bendak]

Have to say I am super excited about the possibility of the runesaber as a spirit beast. I've wanted one ever since I saw it teased at the beginning of the mount video.

[Quiv]

I love those cat bird...bird cats, but I have a bad feeling they may be druid mobs. Hopefully I'm wrong I'd tame one in a second.

First thing I thought of was a Feral druid with Balance affinity.

[Amyliz]

New raven model is amazing!

[Vephriel]

Oh my god it's BEAUTIFUL! Please let one be tameable.

[Jangalian]

Oooh my god the raven is gorgeous. Maybe they can do justice to the seagull eventually! Concerning the owlcat...guys, there's four skins. There's 4 races of druid. I'm betting that it's one of those new combo spells for moonkin/ferals.

[Qraljar]

Still hoping for the naga brute.

I want a huge, bulky kaiju monster next to my hunter.

[Aquillian]

Darn these beautiful models for tempting me back. That raven is gorgeous.... and the nightsabers...

OHH my god. I'm in love... Ravens are my favorite birds and I have been wanting a good looking one for so long. The gilnean Raven looks nice but I can't get over that ridiculous seagull skeleton they use.

[Bangeall]

Why, goddamit, why? Why are they so beautiful?! Why do I have no frigging willpower when it comes to taming cats?!

The updated models look amazing. With the possible exception of the seal. I don't know how the made an animal that is so endearing IRL look so creepy. The "owl-cat" creature is interesting. I don't expect it to be tameable, but I'm very curious about it.

Bears, cats, birds and stags are tamable, and they are also druid shapeshifts, so those Owlcats could still be pets. . . .Who knows, maybe they can go into a family along with Hippogryphs, Gryphons and Wyverns?

Does this work for you Sylvia?

[SetsunaChan]

As neat as the owlcats are I'm pretty sure those are part of the druids new affinity spells that mashes two specs into one thing so that's probably Feral/balance or balance/feral combo.

The new ravens. Those I'd really hope are tamable along with the new spider.

[Wain]

Was that raven model used by Khadgar during that Legion mini lead-in trailer? The one where he flies to Stormwind to warn the king? I had a feeling it was. It's a lovely model. I just hope they've given it decent animations.

[Lupen202]

I think Khadgar's raven form looks closer to the Gilnean raven but I'm not sure... I really wish they'd change the old one to a different skeleton as it really is a gorgeous model. It just looks ridiculous flying around >.>

Yes! thank you very much! ^_^ that looks lovely.

[Equeon]

That raven, though... please have proper animations. It's all I ask.

[Lupen202]

It looks like it uses the hawk model which isn't bad at all, so it should be fine.

[Zalani]

Thing is the owlcat would be labeled differently if it was an affinity spell/artifact skin, the label it has points more to a mob. So I suppose we will have to wait till Beta with that one. Quite interesting.

But I still really want to tame that panther skin, very nicely done. Why is it that I can't resist new cat skins.... ;_;
And I am also hoping that the runesaber skin will be a new spirit beast. It would match the whole arcane theme with the Nightwell.

MECHANICAL PETS CONFIRMED.
