Warlords of Draenor: New exotic pet abilities

15 Comments
I recently spent some time outside Draenor to get my hands on a few exotic pets to test their new abilities. Today we'll be looking at the new Quilen, Rhino, Devilsaur, and Core Hound abilities. Exotic pets in Warlords can have up to 3 special abilities or buffs. For example the Core Hound has a … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Arcturis

8 Comments
Most people think that Loque'nahak is the most difficult spirit beast to tame, but I'd argue that honor goes to Arcturis. At least Loque has multiple spawn points, so you could always get lucky and find him at one of the spawns where no one is currently camping. Arcturis, on the other hand, … Continue Reading ››

Hook Wasps are joining the Wasp family, Rylaks will be exotic

4 Comments
The previously announced Hook Wasp exotic pets are going to be folded into the regular Wasp family and will no longer be exotic. Replacing them as the new exotic family in Warlords will be the Rylaks. If you're wondering what a Rylak is, it's the same thing as an Iron Skyreaver mount (minus the rocket … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Chromaggus

6 Comments
There's a lot of hunter art out there, but the above "Taming Chromaggus" piece is, without a doubt, my favorite. Taming raid bosses is a rite of passage for any hunter. It's all the more special if it's a boss you've faced in the past when it was relevant content. Next on the list of … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Hexapos

Hexapos is the only water strider to use the "white fen strider" skin and in found in the Dread Wastes. Chances are you've flown over this guy without even knowing because he's one of the handful of Mists of Pandaria pets which are invisible until revealed by a hunter's Flare. The … Continue Reading ››

Pet(s) of the Week: Wolves that bark, growl, and howl

3 Comments
That there is my Oil-stained Wolf named Void. They are no longer tameable with their oily coat intact -- I thought I would get that out of the way first (sorry about that 😛 ). Aside from looking really cool, this wolf has a neat little feature of barking/growling when he is clicked. It turns out … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Sparkwing

3 Comments
The spiked wind serpents only had a couple colors available prior to Mists of Pandaria even though there were other unused colors in the game files for years. Blizzard remedied this by scattering a bunch of new rares in 5.1 and 5.2 to get some of those colors in the wild. Sparkwing, pictured above, … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Sunwing

9 Comments
Sunwing is a level 51 rare Dragonhawk found in the Burning Steppes. It's the only tameable Dragonhawk to use the black skin and is definitely my favorite. It's fairly new to the game, just being added in patch 5.1. The Dragonhawk's special ability is Fire Breath (magic vulnerability) and it looks … Continue Reading ››
