Does anyone expect to see new nether drake models? Or a new type of drake entirely? Maybe no drakes and Chimeras will be replacing drakes?

Nether Drakes would make no sense. Nether Drakes are Black Dragon eggs that were modified by the power that ripped Draenor apart. Since Deathwing and the other Black Dragons have never been to this Draenor, and the energies that mutated them never existed, there are no Nether Drakes in this timeline.
I get the feeling that a lot of people who started playing Warcraft games in WoW or even Warcraft III don't realise how very different Draenor is going to be to Outland.
There are no draconoid species native to Draenor, the Netherwing are leftover from eggs Deathwing left there when he was in Draenor during BTDP (shortly after the Second War, we are going back to pre-First War era).
So actually this may be the first WoW expansion with no dragons/drakes/etc at all.
Maybe we'll discover a new island in 6.3 with a big troll raid in the middle that's being taken over by dragons. Endboss is Kael'thas riding Onyxia's charred bones.

I'm guessing Chimaeras. Seeing as we just got one.
The best your prob gonna get is black/ bronze drakes possibly corrupted by iron horde tech/ burning legion/ infinite >.< If draenor has never seen azeroth though that means deathwing hasn't come through and made a nest >.<

The only new 'Nether' model I want is a brand new Nether Ray mount.
The Draenor chimaera are a completely different species to the ones found on Azeroth, much like the raptors, wolves, insects, etc. That's why they look vaguely similar, but are different. If anything, the flying mounts will be the chimaera or insects.

The various nether species likely won't be seen, unless they're in their un corrupted forms. The energies that created them haven't happened to this Draenor.
If anything, according to the quote in my signature, this planet will be like a giant Australia.
Draenor has it's own race of Chimaera. If you're going to try and bash the lore at least try and know it first.
outlands has a fair share of (heavily mutated) chimaeras, so I don't think they are azerothian imports.
the fact that the iron skyreaver has "orc" teeth just like draenor wolves, unlike azerothian wolves and chimaeras, makes me think that just like with wolves, there are azerothian and draenorian (?) versions of chimaeras.
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
It's pronounced "Dur-av-ian."
