Battle for Azeroth’s alpha has undergone its weekly update, allowing dataminers to uncover a whole heap of new content. What’s next? Golden ram mounts, top-heavy warriors, and hot hounds – among other things.

The datamine also gives us a look at new elementals: the Blood Elemental, and the Water Elemental Boss Stormsong.

The final creature is this hot-diggity-dog, the Small Core Hound. As expected, this is a pint-sized version of the Core Hound hunter pet.
