Shadowlands: Battle Pet Reskins vs. Unique Models

It's been a while since I last posted, eh?

Shadowlands stuff! Finally! There's not a lot of new Pet Battle content (yet), but there sure are a TON of upcoming battle pets. Over 100, last I checked.

I've been compiling a list of pet models for WarcraftPets' graphic artist (to help make it a little easier on her workload), so I figured I'd make a list of Shadowlands pet models that are reused/reskinned vs. unique Shadowlands models. For the curious. Just some small trivia heh.

Here is a list of battle pet models and the number of new pets that will use it (plus an example image of what the model looks like). It's not a full list detailing every single upcoming pet. More like a summary.

At the very end is the number of unique-model pets.  

 
Arden Moths x3
 

Arden Squirrels x4
 

Maw Rats x3
 

Maw Roaches x3
 

Maw Hands x3
 

Skeletal Spines x2
 

Skeletal Hands x3
 

Baby Unicorns x4
 

Bats x4
 

Dredwing Bats x4
 

Vulpins x8
 

Spiders x6
 

Lice x3
 

Glimmerflies x3
 

Slimes x4
 

Souls (ghosts) x2
 

Teroclaws x4
 

Bonetusks x2
 

Gargoyles x3
 

Watchers x2
 

Jelly People x3
 

Manifestations x3
 

Gorm Wasps x3
 

Tree Sprouts x4
 

Cranes x5
 

Gormlings x5
 

Mire Creepers x2
 

New Aboms x2
 

Dragon Turtles x3
 
Unique models x17


Note that when I say "unique", I don't mean in all of WoW. There are definitely reused models in Shadowlands from other expansions/patches. So "unique" as in compared to other Shadowlands battle pets (it's not a reskin and no other new pet shares its model atm).

Another thing to note is that although there are quite a number of reskins, a few pets do have some variations. Stuff like additional doo-dads attached to the pet to make it a little different, textures (bones vs. no bones vs. skin, etc.) and other graphical effects. So they're not all *exact* copies in every single category.
