I am a huge Lion King fan. Like, really a HUGE fan. And with the new lion, I automatically tought of lion king so I decided to make a themed hunter.

I already have all of my pets planned out ;
Simba
Nala
Mufasa
Scar
Sarabi
Pumba
Timon
Zazu
Rafiki
Hyena : Shenzi
Hyena : Banzai
Hyena : Ed

* If you guys have any suggestions to modify my skins / add new ones i'm totally open! *

The thing is... I have no idea what race my hunter could be. Here are some of my thoughts :

Tauren - It's an animal and one of the area near them is the Barrens.
Orcs - I always pictured orcs has like, wild animals or something, so they would fit.
Night Elves - They're close to nature , a.k.a animals

But the one i'm really thinking of is Worgen. Their facial features are very much like some kind of cat ( I know they're not cats but they look like cats okay! hahaha)

I really need help on this one, pleassse ? (: <3

Well to me, when u say the names of ur pets like Pumba, Nala, acually all except Ed (I love Ed btw, he was my fave, so funny :lol: ) they all sound Tauren to me. Well like Tauren names or something a Tauren would call his/her pets. Hope this helps :mrgreen:

the lion king was just a ripoff of The White Lion D: D: D:

Hmm...Worgen! :D They're the best, and it'd match pretty well.

I'd say orc. Well, orc because I agree that the "wild beast" thing fits them. I also think tauren would work for the reason Rawr gave. I definitely don't think night elves fit the theme, to me their affinity to nature is more like a religious attachment than an emotional bond (which I think would suit the theme better).

Agreed with Sarayana on this one, night elves don't seem to fit. They do have the bond with nature, but it doesn't seem like the kinda bond that matches your theme.

Of the two...personally I'd go tauren, all your pet choices seem to match tauren for the most part and tauren have that whole 'plains' feel because of Mulgore. But I think an orc is an okay secondary choice.

Worgen? I wouldn't really go worgen...they make me think of England because of their accents and it feels very un-Lion-King to me XD Plus the worgen is a wolf, even if it might look catlike in some respects, and I don't think it'd mesh well with the half-dozen cats you've got for your lineup. I don't know if the worgen have a lighter color-scheme either, but most of your pets have that sandy tan feel (for the lions, anyway) and I just don't see a worgen looking very nice with that sort of color lineup, since all the ones I've seen have very dark fur schemes.

But that's just me and my personal aesthetics XD

This is a cute idea!
I think the models for nala and sarabi should be changed, the softer looking one is more nalaish to me hehe. I'm sad there is no Kovu!!

One suggestion I'd make, is have the Sambas Skin be Mufasa, and the reg. skin as Simba, simply b/c in the movie, Mufasa has a way bigger mane than Simba, if I remember correctly.
