these are good suggestions for druid IMO

I definitely agree that some of these are kinda stretching it for druid like that octo gallywix model, the naga gilblin and the deepfish angler one. However I think the sea dragon form could work as a moonkin form since they are humanoid like and the swim form could work since it is fish look. Maybe given a few adjustments. Having a druid class that could take on a mermaid form would be awesome given mermaid are classic. That coral giant you linked though would work nicely for something as druid. Same with the cat form.
Gnomest often suggests that this one…

Could suffice for the moonkin form.
Since the Zandalari moonkin isn’t exactly usual.

I like your cat and bear ideas and especially the sea travel form.
I think the coral tree one would work nicely as a treant form for them… useless as those are these days.
Alternative for bear could be a chitinous crab bear thing.

Or an aquatic animal that tends to eat large quantities of food. Maybe a whale. Was thinking Orcatte could be cute, (Orca/piglette)

Also works. Interesting thing too. So gilgoblins if we look at real life classifications, they would probably be considered mammals that are adapted to water. Blue whales are mammals as it would happen. Not to mention the biggest mammal to ever exist. Even bigger than sauropods.

Basically, but bigger and on the back.

The deep is filled with wonders and also many of the scariest nightmares you can imagine.

It’s still much less human than the suggested gilgoblin moonkin form.
Fair enough. It is worth nothing though that the moonkin form above is a work in progress. Maybe the face for example could have some kind of snout?
Yeah I think making the face more fishlike or beastlike would go a very long way to making it look more moonkin-like.
Since most moonkins have a beak, how about taking some inspiration from the parrotfish?

Or perhaps the parrot chiclid? They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns thanks to human breeding.

This unique little guy is called the hump-head parrotfish.

I think really leaning into the fact that they’re an aquatic race, and the animals they are used to and would be bonded with would be other aquatic animals, would really add flavor and charm to their forms.

Another angle would be to go with birds that are semi-aquatic. Imagine a moonkin form that’s more based on a fat little puffin…

Or the wild things you could do with taking inspiration from a flamingo

Or even a penguin! This guy is a southern rockhopper penguin. Imagine making all of his head feathers bioluminescent!

This may present a challenge, but I am up to it as just recently I am starting to feel confident about attempting creature models from scratch. Kinda other moonkin form idea I had could just be default for kelfin, but kelfin don’t have tails, horns and ears like that. Your suggestions have been noted.

I’m rather fond of Parrot fish. Might be interesting to see a gilgoblin Moonkin form based from that.

I think it is doable. I feel more confident about doing unique kinds of geometry. Just gotta be careful though about biting of more then I can chew.

Aye don’t overdo it but I believe in you and your creations!
I like how the sea dragon transformation looks though it wasn’t designed to be a druid form to begin with. All of those weren’t. It can act as a basic idea though. However I do believe its current appearance can be made much better than it is. Which I may attempt to do.
OMG . I want penguin moonkin forms.

Sea dragon form would be a great travel form. But a Gral form would be greater. The seadragon though would be a nice unlock for the barbershop in general.
It could possibly also do with some saurok shaped feet given its draconic. What I’ve noticed is that moonkin forms seem to be bird like in nature. Are dragons too far off to count?
Idk. I am surprised we have laser chickens in the first place.
I wanted a kelfin moon kin form in the form of like an elemental master of ice/lava. Like a volcano elemental or something. Or water elemental/water form.
We had a toy for example in MoP that increases swim speed and gave your character a look like you turned into water. Something similar to Chaos from sonic adventures.
It would be cool to have a draconic form for moonkin, seeing as the gilblins I believe have scales so them turning into a dragon would be cool : ). I remember reading leaks that we would get a dragon sort of class as a class skin for druids, you would turn into dragons. But that is something cool to think if blizzard decides to add class skins.
A saurok form might be good too, them studying a bit of alchemy to get a saurok form.
