How to tame Lightning Paw

19 Comments
There's a new spirit beast to tame in patch 7.1.5! Lightning Paw is the first spirit beast fox and he has a unique lightning effect not seen on any other beasts. It's hard to see this in screenshots, so check out the short video clip embedded below. Somehow, we all missed him on the … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Lowland Manashell (aka Tortos)

5 Comments
Ever wanted to tame Tortos? Well, now you can -- sort of. In lieu of actually making the boss from Throne of Thunder tameable, Blizzard has re-used Tortos' model for a new turtle species, the Lowland Manashell.  These turtles are found in Suramar, the level 110-only zone in the Broken Isles. More specifically, in … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Iron Warwolf

18 Comments
Disclaimer: This pet was found on the patch 6.2 PTR and is subject to change. Wow, it's been a while since we had one of these. Now that we're starting to get new pets again, I thought it was time to resurrect this feature. Actually, this is the only new pet I've found so far on the … Continue Reading ››

Pet(s) of the Week: Matching hunter pets and mounts are awesome

9 Comments
I get a huge kick out of having matching pets and mounts, so I wanted to share my latest couple of matches. The one above is the Trained Snarler mount and the Riding Wolf pet from Nagrand. The mount is obtained through the garrison stables building. It's one of the 6 you're … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Druids in Travel Form

17 Comments
Blizzard finally gave into our demands and made druids tameable. The catch is you can only tame them in their travel form. So if you were hoping for a kitty or bear druid, you're out of luck (for now). A druid in travel form is part of the Stag family once tamed and brings the versatility … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Spirit of Atha

10 Comments
Hail Hydra! That seems to be the hunter mantra of the week. Everywhere I go, I see hunters sporting their newly tamed hydras. Arguably one of the coolest is Spirit of Atha, the ghost hydra. This isn't the first time I've tamed this elusive beast. I was one of those who tamed … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Saddled Clefthooves

3 Comments
I delayed in posting about these pets because I honestly thought there was a possibility they'd get nerfed (made untameable). After all, I've been disappointed before when I find a pet I love in beta, only for it to be made untameable. For a while, the only saddled clefthoof which was tameable was Giantbane and I … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Teroclaws

4 Comments
Teroclaws are a new type of hunter pet found in Talador and I believe it's the first type of hunter pet that has both flying and grounded variants. They have been added to the Carrion Bird family, though many of us were hoping the grounded ones would have made it into the Raptor family. These are some … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Toucans! (aka Axebeaks)

4 Comments
Don't ask me how the physics work here or how those tiny wings can support such a front-heavy bodyweight which is apparently 90% beak, 10% feathers. Let's just hope your group or raid needs a versatility buff at some point so you have more excuses to use these adorable freaks of nature. Toucans (officially called Axebeaks, … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Talador Ridge Prowlers

9 Comments
This week's pet of the week is a bit late because my big video preview on the new pet families was posted in its place. Now we'll get back to looking at individual hunter pets found in Draenor. Even though you can't tame these yet, you'll be able to look back on previous pets of … Continue Reading ››
