This seriosly needs to happen.
If forsaken gets druid, they need a spider as feral form.
Would make me main a druid for the first time.
Plague cat is a way to boring idea.
Imagine beeing stalked by a stealthed spider in world pvp…

As Forsaken are undead, it kind of doesn’t make much sense that they would shapeshift into a living being. While I get you want the visual - cats, shred, rip and tear. They pounce and bite. Spiders are more known for laying out webs, and poisoning their pray. Cocooning their victims.
So there are two disconnects there. While, we could agree to ignore that the bleed is not a poison, to keep things on theme - yeah, not my cup of tea.
To not shut down your idea of undead druids though.
Now there is possibility that an undead could be attuned to their spiritbond form and Ardenwield to the point where they could be kinda druidic. Well, at least close enough to make the same sense as the Kul’Tirans. As the Shadowlands is realm of undeath, being an undead turning into forms from there make enough sense that I can see it and agree to it making kinda sense.
Could they make a wolfspider form, I guess. As long as it is themed by Ardenwield, most things would work. So you can kind of double dip, get your wanted fantasy.
I think it makes sense since when Hunters were introduced to them they added a quest chain for breeding spiders for them in Hilsfbrad Foothills.
It also fits creepy/horror design for them. For the fly form they should have that Gargoyle like the boss in old Scholomance that you summon with the Blood fial.
Druid’s would find undeath and antithesis of the life this seek to defend.
Anyway cats control the world.
Other undead animals already exist, including bear and cat.
But for your spider note, Bone spiders or plagued spiders are a unique type of spider that appear to be made up completely of bone. Originally, they were introduced in ‘Wrath of the Lich King’ (also spiders bite, and have bite animation)

Druids are all about life, and nature. So it just doesn’t seem to blend well with pure classical Undeath.
I get what you are going for, I just don’t personally vibe with the vision.
Opening Ardenwield druidism is a good way to easily implement druidism for all races in the game. It is lore friendly, models can overlap (as anyone can take spirit forms, they might even be allowed to change them to different animals, in ardenwield) and it keeps old core druids ‘special’ and prefered by some by aesthetics.
Keeping nature to nature, even with a touch of death that is the shadowlands - is a good solution. Making it zombies and skeletons, just isn’t it, from my point of view.
What would life be like without cats?
Long debate on the subject, many good points.
