At least from this shot, we can clearly tell that the medium guy's head isn't stuck in the big one's ass

That got me thinking, if your mother every walks in on you sucking another guys wiener, you just tell her "mom, just a placeholder" and you will be fine.

Completely unnecessary. Enjoy your vacation. - Cilraaz

If they were going to be centaurs guess what they'd place hold them with....Centaurs.

They'll be something around the same size and shape as the placeholders. That's all there is too it.

[Fengas]

Those are pretty disturbing place holders... who with right mind would come up with this stuff?...

They must've seen that movie "the human centapede"

Those aren't normal placeholders. "Placeholders" are meant to be simple, existing assets that you can drop into the game until you come up with something refined to put in its place.

A centaur placeholder would be a generic centaur from pre-cataclysm so that a new one with cataclysm artwork can be dropped in later. Making a custom model by arranging humans in weird ways would take more time than it's worth for a placeholder item. Most likely one of the designers was bored or wanted to drop an easter egg in there or something.

Or those creatures are going to be a new mob type that we dont know about so they dropped in a retarded design that is going to be absolutely nothing like the final thing to keep us confused.

[galdroth]

these are placeholders for the Tol'vir.

...and yes the Tol'vir will in fact be centaurs (or taurs), with the bottom half a of cat/lion.

The Tol'vir are stone creatures (like the earthen) created by the Titans. They have the the head and bottom half of a cat/lion, and the chest/upper-body of a human.

Could be placed to show a normal human's scale compared to the buildings

Every time I see those things I can't stop myself from laughing out loud. Placeholders or not, it's hilarious. I wonder what's going to be there in retail.
