What besides completely borked skeletal structure? I mean, sure, it has it's head sticking out of it's back, but...

Oh, wait. Yeah, I can see blood flow and nerves being a problem here.

lol i was thinking the same thing.

Plenty of pets and mounts in WoW are sentient.

Gryphons? Sentient. Hippogryphs? Sentient. Wyverns? Sentient. Bats? They can at least understand Low Common. Raptors? They pretty much live in tribes and adorn themselves with jewelries.

Oh and not to mention the Netherdrakes and the Mammoths in Wrath.

None of the animals you just listed are any more sentient than, say, a dog, aside from the Netherdrakes, who give themselves freely as mounts and are not pets.

The Silithid aren't even beasts, they're classified as "unknown" due to lore, but realistically are more closely identified with humanoids than beasts. That a hunter can tame them is literally like a hunter taming someone of another race (like a Tauren lol).

Do you even know your lore? Those things I mentioned are sentient. Play Warcraft III, those things I mentioned are sentient. They don't speak but they're sentient.

And the fact you can ride a sentient Netherdrake as a mount, I see no problem with using a Silithid as an attack partner. Oh and Mammoths in Wrath are very much sentient, they can communicate telepathically.

Oh and no more sentient than dogs? I don't see dogs building little huts and jewelries for themselves like raptors.

Actually Hippogriffs are according to Lore, sentient. (Don't you hate that Lore guy... thinks he knows everything!) I can't speak on the rest, though I have noticed the jewerly on Raptors and have wondered about it.

As far as the Druid pet/mount, that would be cool, but if we're talking about sentient pets, I'm still holding out for a Hunter pet Murloc or a Murloc mount. "Mwwgwgwgwlwaa!" :-D

I agree, I kept meaning to post that too. :D

I always imagine Ray making these videos. Who'd have thunk it?
