it'd be harder, because see goblin is a character folder, and bear form is a creature folder, it's easy to make a creature folder such as bear form, into another creature folder such as kel'thuzad, but for a creature folder to a character folder, i haven't gotten it working quite right, it always gives me jsut a black outline of the shape i want, no texture.

Sounds like you are not replacing the model correctly, but you seem to have the texture correct. Just double check all the file names are correct to replace the orginal model, maybe even create a new mpq and repack everything just to be sure.
