Keep thinking it's just a whale. ;)
There will be new models, updated models, models that look familiar etc. Remember, it's all a part of Azeroth and there are often variations of familiar creatures from other regions that may have adapted to the northern reaches. We're working to create variation both in the terrain and in the creatures you encounter, but there is no doubt that some familiarity will be there as well.
