Can we update the rest of the whelpling pets please?

Pets like this:

Are still using vanilla era models and textures.

Even as recently as BfA we have whelplings using the exact same model:

As you can see, they’re both using the old outdated whelping model despite the fact that the new updated model was released in Legion which was before BfA:

Now you might say that this is because pets like the Twilight Whelpling may have been introduced in BfA but were in a Cata era zone. But I can refute this since pets like this exist and are from Island expeditions in BfA and still use the old model:

There is precedent for Blizz retroactively updating old pet models. I believe it was some time during BfA that they updated a lot of the old frog models and a few others I forget.

As an aside, I note there is a 3rd whelpling model that is also more updated than the original version:

Sure, once they update all of my old mounts to use more than 4 polygons.

Maybe once they make a few billions more they can pay someone 20 dollars on fiverr for a new model

They just need to make additional whelps to fill out the missing modern ones and leave the old ones as-is. It’d be more awkward to have the old looks gone and multiple duplicate whelps.

Also they still haven’t figured out how to use the correct green yet.

Especially ones like hippogryphs and gryphons that have paper wings. Even the Teldrassil Hippogryph has the flat paper wings.

I wish they’d just update all skins in the game. Mounts/pets and transmogs.
