Potential New Models and Looks in The War Within
Here are all the new models - and new looks for older models - that we've found so far in The War Within Alpha and we think have the potential to be Hunter pets.
Not all of these models are currently tameable, and it's likely that some will remain unavailable at release. As such, this guide should currently be considered speculative.
As The War Within is still in early testing, the creatures that populate these new realms will probably change a great deal before release: some will be added and removed, others will have their looks or taming status altered. We'll update this guide as we find out more, but we won't include NPC taming info until things become more stable.

The stony bumps at the top of the legs of this model are only a subtle addition - but some looks have them and some don't, so we've had to catalog both options.

Currently, all cinderbees in the Alpha are displaying all three antenna options at once! This is probably unintended and will be fixed. Also, the gorgeous blue looks are currently unavailable on this model - to get these images I had to apply textures from the related mount model.
