Well, I guess it's confirmed from thr totalhalibut video... undead hunters get spiders!
however, I'm not sure if it's my computer or not but it looks like a dark red spider skin that I haven't seen before. However, my video is a little blurry and the it could be the mine spider skin, and I just can't tell.

Could someone else see clearly?

And I watched it in HD+fullscreen mode...looks like Black Widow Spider to me...yep watched it again just as it turned I could clearly see it's black with red spots.

Yeah, it is the black/red ones.

But for now the undead hunters are bugged, so you don't have a pet when you start.
The pet do appear on the character selction screen, when you create your character:

But when you log in, you don't have a pet, but there's a black widow hatchling standing on top of you, which probably is supposed to be your pet, when they fix it.

Whoa, that's odd....why does the Undead there have what appears to be the Orc/Troll background on the starting screen? o.O

I think that's a general bug in the beta. It also happens to other races.

Have had it happen several times:

And the square on the worgen's head is a bugged helmet. But they fixed that now. :)

Ah good. ^^ I figured it was just a glitch, but I would have been sad if the old Undead background wasn't used anymore, I love that one.

Hmm, I wonder if Trolls will get their own background....one of the Echo Isles, that would be awesome.

For now it seems like the background is used on humans, gnomes, worgen and undead.
But the weird thing is that is't not the exact same one as the orcs have. There's no fire in the background, and on the orcs there's no weapons stuck in the rocks..

The loading screen background "bug" is on the PTR as well. I'm seeing a lot of races displayed on the orc/troll backdrop, which is the "default" one.
