Screenshot of a grey beach on the Coiled Isle in Patch 12.1 with further mountainous shores in the medium distance. On the beach sits a male tauren hunter with white fur and brown, plate-like mail armour. On the left hovers his pet, Spiritsting, a translucent green wasp of a monochrome green with shiny white spectral highlights.
Male tauren hunter with white fur, in subdued brown mail armour with two skunk pets. The one on the left is tangerine orange with two white stripes along its back and head. The one on the right is peanut butter brown with dark stripes. They stand on a cobbled path in the Emerald Dream with lush greenery in the background.
A 3x2 montage of 'skyfiend' colours from WoW - model added in patch 12.1. The model has the basic form of a two-headed WoW chimaera, but with more snake-like heads, feathered crests/manes at the back of the heads, and feathered wings instead of leathery ones. The model has a fluoro green/chartreuse 'venom' effect along the undersides of its throats and forked tail. The looks represented here are each novel combos of body texture with a feather texture not originally intended for it. From left to right, top to bottom: dark purple with red feathers; crimson with blue feathers, pale pink-grey with chartreuse feathers, orange with crimson feathers, black with blue feathers, grey-green with teal blue feathers.
Model shot of a black and green 'skyfiend' mount from WoW patch 12.1. It has the basic form of a two-headed WoW chimaera, but with more snake-like heads, feathered crests/manes at the back of the heads, and feathered wings instead of leathery ones. Its scales are a matt black, and its feathers and the undersides of its necks are a bright, almost fluorescent yellow-green. It is rendered in a sitting position with its wings on the ground like a resting bat, facing the front.
A side-by-side comparison of two tameable new skunk colours in WoW Patch 12.1. Both are essentially in the black range with pale stripes along on their tail, back, and head. The one on the left is more of a cool black with violet eyes and a faintly more violet shift to its colours. The one on the right has a faint touch of coffee to its white stripe and has very dark brown paws and dark blue eyes.
A model shot of a 'writhing serpent’ NPC in WoW 12.1. This NPC is composed of three pale pinkish snakes braided and twisted together into one functioning unit. They hold themselves upright at their front end, with three heads gazing forward, like a hydra. The central snake head is a bit larger than the others and sports a large crest of fuchsia feathers.The tips of their tails are coated in flurorescent green venom, with the central tail ending in a large barbed hook or sickle.

Promo poster for the movie 'Cocaine Bear', featuring the black and white form of a very angry bear sitting upright and roaring, surrounded by a cloud of back-lit white dust, with the words "Cocaine Bear" at the bottom in white and red.
Side profile of WoW: Cataclysm bear model facing left. It has been given the texture from the "Dwarf Bear Snow Mount" which gives it a dark brown coat with fawn muzzle, and a good dusting of white powdery snow on its back, and seemingly on its hairy chin.
Facing towards the viewer, a clip of the head section of a windsteed from World of Warcraft. It's a goat-like creature based on the kirin/qilin from mythology. It has white fur around its head and neck, with gold-edged black scales covering its torso. Two black fleshy tendrils descend like moustaches from either side of its bare red snout. The rest of its face is also bare with black skin. It has two hairless red ears, and a pair of back-swept, tan-coloured, thorny horns.
The new giant eagle model, added in Midnight, with a new texture from Patch 12.0.7 applied. The texture is currently only used on the 'Sunwalker Eagle Mount' model, for the Sun Festival's Painted Roc, coming in 12.0.7 It's a very bright orange with more reddish highlights, black feet with a slightly green tint, orange eyes, and a tan beak.
A side-by-side comparison of the glows on two purple sporegliders. Both glows are sort of orange, with maybe a little extra red, but the second is a little more intense / rich than the first. But really, they're hard to tell apart without looking closely.
Model shot of an olive sporeglider with cyan glows on its antennae and tail's dangly bits.
Panel of 3 Midnight sporeglider model shots showing novel base skin / glow combo on their antennae and tail dangly bits: red with pink glow; blue with cyan glow; olive with cyan glow. The latter is the only one currently used (in Patch 12.0.7).
A 2x2 montage of four Wildhammer gryphon looks, added to the 12.0.7 database. They have a standard gryphon underlying look, but their wings are edged in a brighter colour with a matching glow effect on both the wing tips and eyes, with occasional lightning of the same colour. From left to right, top to bottom: 1. white gryphon with blue wing tips / eyes. 2. orange gryphon with paler wing tips and orange glows. 3. black gryphon with very dark green head, and red wing tips and glows. 4. brown gryphon with white head and blue wing tips and glows.

All four have golden yellow beaks and white tips on their wing feathers.

Clip from the Wikipedia article for the term "Kakistocracy": Kakistocracy (/ˌkækɪˈstɒkrəsi/ KAK-ist-OK-rə-see) is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people. The word was coined as early as the 17th century and derives from two Greek words, kákistos (κάκιστος, 'worst') and krátos (κράτος, 'rule'), together meaning 'government by the worst people'.

Comparison of two red lynxes from WoW. Left: the Classic model from Burning Crusade; Right: the updated version coming in Midnight. The latter is very similar in aesthetic, but much higher poly with fur a bit darker and more natural, a smoother, less wiry mane, and a beefier frame.

Models shots comparing the teal-coloured tallstrider mount in mid-running pose. Top: new in Midnight, its head is held at a fairly upright (roughly a 50-or 60-degree angle to the horizontal). Bottom: in the current game, its head is held out almost horizontally as it runs.
Comparison of two model shots of the new Eversong manawyrm, coming in Midnight. The top uses the standard 'white' texture for the model and has a more greyish head/body, while the bottom uses the 'white' texture copied from the mount version and has a more golden or yellowish body.
Model shots of two colours of a "vine" mount coming in Midnight. The model consists of a long shaft of twisted vines, with a saddle on top, with a petal- or leaf-like collar, and a bulbous head that looks like a comical fly trap from a horror movie. The head is topped by a single daisy-like flower on a stem. Top: pale, whitish body and head, with orange collar, orange-pink lips and flower. Bottom: dark teal body and head with red collar and lips, and pink flower.

Tauren hunter with a montage of 3 mire stalker pets. These look like an upgrade to the fen stalkers of Outland: something like a Portuguese Man o' War hydrozoan atop slender, tentacle-like tripod legs. From left to right: teal with pinkish glowing areas / highlights; magenta purple with cyan glowing areas / highlights, scarlet red with light orange glowing areas / highlights.
Male tauren with white fur, pink shades, pink vest with teal and green embroidered edges, and brown slacks, with a dreamrunner (sickle-horned unicorn) pet with white body and pink mane, shanks, beard and tail.
Male tauren hunter with white fur in golden Pandaren pvp gear, with two windsteed pets (effectively a Kirin from Japanese folklore - like a goat with scales around its abdomen and sides, gnarled horns, and 2 barbels hanging from its fleshy snout) pets. The one on the left has white fur with dark cobalt blue scales. On the right, golden fur with bronze scales. They stand on a grassy and rocky ridge on the Wandering Isle.
