The... naga who extensively used dragon turtles as siege weapons in the Third War now consider turtles bad luck? What?

And they're afraid of a bunch of little turtles? Seriously? I know superstitions are meant to be daft, but that just goes beyond plain superstition and into silly. It's going to be harder to take the naga seriously if they're that afraid of turtles. It's like having the average army in the middle ages being terrified of rats to the point of avoiding them.

Because there is always a bigger fish.

Turquoise Turtle: "Turtles are feared by naga, who consider them bad luck and give them a wide berth on the shores of Azshara."

Zooey Snake: "These reptiles posses hooked scales, allowing them to slither up Kun-Lai Summit's rocky sopes (sic) and steep cliffs."

Elfin Rabbit: "Their proximity to the magic of the elves has caused some of them unnatural long life. And in some elfin rabbits... stranger things."

Kirin Tor Familiar: "To prevent apprentices from secretly using the familiar to complete their chores, the archmagi placed the ritual required to summon these creatures across the pages of several spellbooks hidden throughout Dalaran."

Mule Deer: "It's called a mule because of its big ears. Also been known to transport black market bloodthistle over the border to Quel'Thalas."

Mechanopeep: "Used as a training mount for young gnomes, the Mechanopeep has none of the speed but all of the charm of its bigger brothers."

Phoenix Hatchling: "A child of phoenix god Al'ar, the hatchling takes flight immediately after birth."

Feline Familiar: "Ride with the moon (and this furry, whiskered witch) in the dead of night!"

Sinister Squashling: "This mischievous gourd likes to pop out of the ground and scare you right out of your pants. Hail to the pumpkin song."

Too bad they don't have one for the Gilnean Raven yet, but I would imagine it'll have a reference to Edgar Allen Poe.
