It should be noted that the sizes might be off; it's not an uncommon beta bug to have pet sizes be strange at first. No idea if this is intentional, though, so take the size with a grain of salt.
The new warlock pets are:
- Fel Imp (replaces the Imp when talented)
- Wrathguard (replaces the Felguard when talented)
- Voidlord (replaces the Void Walker when talented)
- Shivarra(replaces the Succubus when talented)
- Observer (replaces the Felhound when talented)
- Abyssal (replaces the Infernal when talented)
- Terrorguard (replaces the Doomguard when talented)
It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!Filed under: Warlock, Mists of Pandaria

In short, they'll be pushing eight years by the time it's in the game. That's no longer an oversight; that's gender bias.

If the incubus has the same abilities as the succy, then it's almost like a cosmetic change. (And thus I'd hope one could glyph for it.)
The holdup may be deciding what the majority of those who'd like male eyecandy would be happy with. Me, I's want a Sephiroth clone in a black leather thong, but I imagine others might like something more bara, for example.
P.S. Might not want to assume that all who want an incubus are women - or that all women want one.

Pssst: Most women are wholly hetero, despite what pop culture and fanfic tell you.

Officially dusting off my level 80 Warlock.

This makes me want to level my warlock above 11.

That's one big Beholder. Feeding it extra buffed adventurers I see.

I'm a little afraid of getting downvote for dissent, but while I also am overjoyed at the option of more choice in my warlock pets, I wish one or two were brand new models.
I'm more excited about a half-remembered promise that warlock pet abilities will be modular so we can pick the demon we prefer to dps with, regardless of spec? Is that real or did I imagine it? I'm going to go ask The Queue about it.

I believe framing choice is freed up a bit now for example destruction warlocks are no longer tied to imps as much as our meens of shortening our soul fire comes from a buff that stacks off of our pets basic attack now assuming they all attack at around the same speed for similar damage I could see that opening up lots more choice (at least for destruction haven't looked at the other specs as much to see if they are similarly freed up)

Demon choice is what I ment this is what happens when you post from a phone damn you auto correct

these are lookin pretty dope... but, are they solely cosmetic upgrades or do they perform differently than the originals?
ninjivitis Mar 25th 2012 7:59PM
I don't know if they have different skills than the original demons but it's safe to assume they are at least more powerful than the basic demons since the other two talents at that tier are for increasing damage.

I am both excited and disappointed. Can't wait to have a Beholder to go along with Sleepy Willy, but I still really want an Incubus and a female Felguard. For me the Shivan doesn't cut it. I've never been fond of the model because they are so top-heavy they don't look like they should even be able to stand.

I wish they had replaced the Infernal with a Fel Reaver, Gnome Warlock, plus Infernal Contraption FTW!
