WotLK gets crabby

At any rate, they look convincing enough to us. We know there are all kinds of new wildlife in Northrend (we saw a few of them at BlizzCon, including a killer whale-type of creature swimming in the waters off the Howling Fjord. So big crabs, icy or "forgotten," aren't too much of a surprise. Check the concept art gallery below to see what else we'll see up North.

I have to wonder if Blizzard is making a reference to the "Giant enemy crab!" meme with this.

Horray for crabby love! My poor red Kayrab has followed me from the Echo Isles, and remains at his hunters side to this day in Outlands. Good to know there are some new 'cousins' out there in the world soon.

I want a Crab Mount.

The first crab (the black one) has been in the patch files since the BC beta. It's like, darkironcrab.m2 or something, with that kind of name and the jewel sticking out of its back, it was probably a scrapped jewelcrafting item. Not WotLK related in the least.

awesome, reskinned models we saw 3 years ago.

These 2 models have been in the files for a long time. Trust me, I saw them a billion times for my website (zoowow.org).

Well, even if they're old, Blizz should put them in the game for hunters. They look pretty cool.
However, they also need to make having a crab as a pet worthwhile. Maybe give them a "burrow" ability or something.

I really wish Ahab my Troll's pet crab were a viable pet.
I will never abandon him, because the day after I do they'll get the ability they so need.
I am however getting really tired of "lol u haf crabs". Roleplay server my butt.

This one might be more interesting than those crabs.

They're Jewelcrafting skins. Truesilver Crab and Black Diamond Crab.
Nothing new.

Jewelcrafting trinkets.
Research, fellas. Research.

Wowinsider wins again at not researching in the slightest.
