Shaman's Ghost Wolf also has its own dance animation. Pirate form shares the dance animation from the other human forms. Not sure about ninja. Ogre form makes me laugh profusely. Some of the NPC races have special animations as well. The Sea Striders/Shore Striders in Feralas will look around nervously, fart out a green bubble, curiously poke it, then wave away the stench. Hydra, if inactive for a small period of time, start arguing and fighting amongst their three heads. Voice emotes are fun, too. Each class has 4-5 flirts (Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Good! Bring ample supply of butter and goblin jumper cables!), 3 jokes, and various other voice emotes (I've been known to make people choke on their drink with the female Draenei /train emote).
That was one of the things that made playing EQ again the last time so difficult. The game felt stale, like cardboard, in relation. Plus the world in WoW seems alive. Cities move around you, not when you interact with them. Towns and Camps are the same way. Their NPCs don't need you to interact with them.
