Yea but my point was that this pet has gear similar to what you would find in WoW and in fact looks like the murloc is wearing it, not just part of the model itself (if that makes sense).
The fact that it looked pretty cool in WoW/D3 style armour got me thinking about them being a race.

They didn't do anything for me. They just look like night elves with strange heads.
