Random thing I noticed this patch (7.4), but the running animation for the coeurl kitten was changed in lord of verminion only. There could be other minions affected but this is just the one I noticed as they are a strong unit and I use them a lot.
It's a fairly innocuous change and I'm not sure if it's deliberate or a bug due to things being changed elsewhere in the game. Just thought it would be interesting to point out.
Here you can see what the animation used to look like in the past, they are running from the center of the arena to the search eye in the top left. It's a hopping kind of motion, and if you summon the minion version in the overworld and make it chase after you, you'll see the same thing.
Now in 7.4, in LoVM they instead walk smoothly across the floor almost as if they are sliding, without any vertical motion at all. I don't have a video of that so try it and see for yourself. Could be beastmaster spaghetti code maybe? Just a random undocumented change because the minion dev has too much free time? Who knows, that's all I have to share.
