[Request] Pandaren Druid

I would like to add a druid character to a new rpg project of mine
(http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=98530).

There will be ways to add him without using a new model.
Anyway a real Pandaren Druid model (that can transform into a Pandaren-Bear or something) would be very cool!

Story context:
Since the pandarens feel a strong link to the natural world and seek to maintain a peace between all races and nature, a druid would also fit very well within the overall story and history of pandarens and pandaria. Also the pandaren empire was/is allied with the night elves. So the pandaren druid could even be risen by elves for example... anyway he'd be something special.

I can't make it but for future reference... what do you mean?

Do you want a padaren equivalent of the Druid of the Talon?

It should be a Druid of the Claw equivalent.

The morphed form of the druid should be something that makes a good tank.

I'm no modeller, but maybe the model can be easily created by taking the druid of the claw model, changing the head to a pandaren head and just creating a new skin for it. Maybe the bear form could be a real panda bear. But maybe he should transform to something different because he already is kind of a real panda. I'm not sure in that point..

the part i underlined was what you call it, wouldn't it be better if you called it a "panda bear" <_<

This model would totally pwn, if made. I look forward to it.

true, pandarans are the bomb ^_^ can't wait

Mc !
wait, would he have a panda bear skin on his back (like the Druid of the Claw), being himself a pandaren? That'd be horrible savage. Like a human using a monkey helmet mad with a monkey's head.

Would be interesting, but might look more like he's getting naked instead of transforming xD.

he could change stance and increase in size ;) that would look better, makes him look well... "savage", the skin on the back of a panda? no way, i think thats just not right... maybe normal pandaran clothing with a panda sign on the back or front?

Maybe he should transform into something different, something that would fit within the pandarian context.

Some kind of an asian styled dragon would be very cool I think.

pandaran turning into a dragon... i don't see the link...
i have a couple of suggestions:
Enraged Panda Bear
Bear
Wolf
Tiger
Bambo ^_^
Snake
Ant ^_^
Monkey ^_^

There isn't much linking ;)
But dragons are very famous creatures within the asian mythology and maybe the ancient spirits of pandaria have givin the druid the ability to transform into a dragon, what is a very powerful creature, to protect his lands.

An enraged big panda bear would be cool too.
Monkey.. hmm, what about a Gorilla?
So instead of transforming into hulk, he becomes king kong..

could be... monkey sounded weak but gorrilla is good... it can pack a punch and is more agile
