But I am surprised at how quickly not one but two hunters managed it! Zuty: Which boar spirit is that? I'm not familiar with that, I'm afraid.

They can even throw bombs at you even before you land! So unless those are busy targeting other players, you'll have no chance to actually finish the tame as a single kick is enough to break it! I had done a bit of recon on a 70 horde hunter first, and was thinking of landing on the back of that (house for lack of a better term!), concussive shooting the wolf, double trapping the first 2 of the 3 humanoids near it that would come, and take the beating from the wolf and the 3rd humanoid while taming. I even replaced some of the gear and used +HP/+resilience as much as possible, but the kick effect from the bat rider bombs is enough to stop the operation! I could have asked for help to make a raid there, but it would be enough that ONE single kiddie would AoE or otherwise start hitting the wolf to ruin the whole process, so I didn't even bothered to try: I don't think I could find some REAL players in the PTR to group with... Maybe someone on a real server that is on a good raiding guild will attempt that...

No info on that, So is that the only other ghost like pet in WoW at the moment? ~Zuty What about the Boar Spirit that is summoned in RFK?

And off topic, but I just recently found the Petopia site and wanted to thank you for such an awesome resource. I'm a hunter who prefers to choose her pets based on appearance as well. Keep up the wonderful work, I really appreciate it! Iiiinteresting, I didn’t know there were pets ‘belonging’ to NPCs that could be tamed…
