Lots of new friends since yesterday! Welcome!
Stuff about me: I'm a quest designer on the WoW team. I started about 2 years ago and I've committed a lot of emotional crimes since then. Here are some of the questlines I've worked on:
Anyone else have a weird obsession with a niche part of WoW lore that no one else cares about?
For me, it's info about the "canon" main character of each race/class. Absolutely fascinating. Cannot get enough of it.

Yes! Spider mounts become crab mounts. Small limitation that they won't hotswap the way creatures do, but if you have crab mode already enabled, you're good to go.
@JenEricLive
I got very confused at friends pinging me asking why I added a meme to the quest 😭 I don't have Narcissus installed so I had no idea what they were talking about.

@Aphelyite
I am terrified by concept of a void elf infant being born with tentacles. "Congratulations! It's a... horrific aberration from beyond the stars...?" "Aww, just as the whispers foretold🥰"

No one will ever have to look at the seating chart to figure out which desk is mine. They will see this artwork and understand.
@Portergauge
Black Arrows are fascinating. I remember being especially intrigued during/after the cinematic where Greymane was shot. Very gnarly stuff.
@mitchellangel0
Maybe I'll collate everything one day 😂 I think there might be some wowpedia pages on it, though! Things like the demon hunter MC having a demon soul, the draenei death knight MC being Argus-born, the goblin MC being in line to become Trade Prince, etc.
@diplomaticfolly
No such thing as too niche -- Alterac is a great pick! I have a friend who infodumps human kingdoms lore at me occasionally, it's delightful.
