Will pets transform? I have a Vale Moth currently, will she turn into the new grey model?

Yes, I believe any pet whose individual mob is changing skins will have the new skin implemented instead after the patch. The only time this wouldn't happen would be if they introduced a brand new NPC ID to the new versions of the mobs, but I don't think they'll do that.

Interesting. I’m happy because I like the model, but I have a storyline for her, not sure how I’ll explain away her transformation.

You could definitely work the whole metamorphosis angle. These are WoW moths, perhaps they go through a cocoon stage even after adulthood? x)

Decisions, decisions, see I already plan on her being transformed when we go into Terokkar Forest, and she (and her "mate" ) get infected by the disease from Cenerion Thicket. The problem with her get old is she just had a baby. Hmmmm, might just have to ignore/Retcon it until I get to Terokkar.

You could always say that she had the disease, and it leeched her color out, but she fought it off successfully thanks to your hunter's ministrations?

Now I don't remember from which place I got my beige moth--guess I'll find out when the patch hits live
