At Val's suggestion I added the old (Northrend) Nerubian beast models to the database. Some could easily be made tameable, especially now we can tame undead.

But I mostly mention it here because despite being really old and lower poly, they have some really great colours! It's a shame the modern ones don't have some stronger colour options like these.

I totally forgot these existed. Wow, talk about a blast from the past lol. Lurker devs, you know what to do!

Thanks Wain!

All of the old Nerubian beast variants are used at least once, so they would all be available to be tamed if flagged as such.

Looking at these shots bring the model close together, the skitterers do look a lot gnarlier and scarier than the current model, considering these are scourged and the others aren’t. The flyers look cool too, they look more like the blood ticks than the current nerubians, but the weird thing about them is their running animation, their front set of legs are just both wide open like the thing is trying to grab you, in a way it’s a bit scarier than the current blood tick and nerubian running animation that uses their front legs too

I always loved those classic Nerubians. I use the little non-combat pets often but it would be awesome if they were added to the hunter library too.

I agree, I wish the swarmites used it!

There was a time I wanted to tame these guys for the longest. Now, I also hope we get a playable Nerubian race and be able to tame these little guys.
