I'm glad Cloud Serpent will be tamable, but I feel that it should be in its own family. I feel that the Cloud Serpent is distinct enough: the family have visible four limbs, and other features like both horns, crest, mane/hair that it's different enough than the garden variety serpents.

I feel that the cloud serpent have a very special place in lore. Cloud serpents were trained to fight the Zandalari and according to lore, a beast worthy enough to be a companion of the Dragonmaw.

I also feel that giving Cloud Serpent only the evasion family ability of the serpent is a wasted potential. Like the Feathermane family, I feel that if the Cloud Serpent is its own family, it can learn a family ability and a bonus ability since we both need tomes to learn to tame them.

My idea would be to make Cloud Serpent as either a ferocity or a cunning pet, that learns a defensive family ability, and also a bonus Slow Fall ability.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes. English is not my first language.

However, should they receive a family of their own, I worry that Blizzard might turn them into the Exotic pet family of SL. They kind of fit the criteria for being exotic, given their ties to mythical beasts like dragons, better than many pets families that are currently counted as being exotic.

I don't think they would be an exotic family if they were in their own group, the same way how Feathermane didn't.

But if we group all the flying ones as separate from the more mundane/ground ones I'd suggest calling the flying ones something like 'Wyrms', and leave the ground ones as Serpents.
