Here's the results of a quick experiment - attaching a murloc to a snapdragon with a trigger, to get a Snapdragon rider.

Taking that into effect, i welcome the very first turtle rider! (The snapdragon one was just a test, to see how alasdairJC did it, his snap dragon is better tho..

Obviously, if we use the Murloc Model again and again, just with different skins, it'll start to look boring. So, here are suggested subraces and/or mounts:
Snapdragons
Hydras
Giant Turtles
Giant Crabs
Makura(?)
Other suggestions?

Edit: Oh yeah, Death, attach the Murloc to the chest of the snapdragon, not overhead.

I strongly suggest careful thinking when deciding on the character of the Murlocs. Fearsome warriors who command vast kingdoms do not make me think of Murlocs. Understand that the way in which Murlocs are spoken of, how one describes their culture and their ways, shapes the very nature of the Murlocs themselves.

Do you want to tell a story of vast kingdoms and rulers on high thrones? Then I bid you tell stories of men, or of elves, for I feel Murlocs would not fit the tale well.

To me, Murlocs have always seemed like a young race. They know little of the working of steel and metals, and the skills of farming and agriculture seem unknown to them. To me they seem like hunters and gatherers, akin to ancient cavemen, predecessors of man.

Also, when I think of names of Murlocs, I think of simple words. LongFins, GreenScale, MudLegs, FrogHands, PuddleJumper, MottleBelly, and so forth.

Actually, it says in the Warcraft book that the Murlocs have been around as long as the elves, but they are newcomers to Lordaeron. I agree with you on the names though, but the leaders would have more kingly names.

ok so well yea the warcraft story tell that murloc are a REALLY old race
i also personnaly wish to see them both primitive and imperial Balzac are just bunch of Murlocs who make armor from bones and shells of local creatures.
I the story is alrigh and well done, for the hero name lets call the twins Fera and Faru PuddleJumper and Vish'na Blackthong that was a good point thx
