I don't know about you guys, but when I saw the initial trailers for Wrath, I saw a lot of shoveltusk. Or maybe I just tuned out the rest, I don't know. Anyways, I was expecting them to be the new Talbuk of Wrath, grind out some faction rep and get a shiny shoveltusk. However, that was obviously not the case and they are in fact seen only in like 1.5 zones, much to the chagrin of my Jewelcrafter.
Then there was the Frost Wyrm, which to be fair we eventually got, but before Wrath's release people thought it would look like the one used in the DK starting quests, aka Sapphiron.
And as a collector, I like to speculate or just imagine different things as mounts. Call me crazy, but I thought those Nerubian humps looked awfully good for sitting a saddle on. I believe there were also some players hoping for multi-passenger rhino mounts after seeing trolls riding them in Zul'drak.
So, any mounts you were hoping to see, but didn't?
