As far as I could tell, the Hunters and Huntresses were removed completely. I couldn’t find any.

The eagle in Zul’Aman appears to be a one-off model — that is, there are no color variations listed in the model viewer. I’d like to see it join one of the bird families, but it doesn’t seem likely as it’s set up now.

I think there was mention of an eagle in Zul Aman, but sadly not tamable, also the ravens in Blades Edge would be great if tamable, name on after your favourite druid :P. Hopefully there will be some eagles in Northrend.

What s/he said. I’d love to have a hawk or eagle pet — wouldn’t that be a perfect pet for a hunter on RP grounds if nothing else? As homely as the raven models are, I’d still like to have a trainable one. Just no more freaking owls and buzzards. pleeeeeeeeeeeeasssssssssse

Frankly, they need some different bird skins. I am tired of the Buzzard and Owl skins that they just rehash in every zone.

Gimme a raven that looks like a raven instead of a buzzard, or a cool named bird that doesn’t look like an owl. Apparently Blizz artists only went to the buzzard and owl class days in art school.

Scripting doesn’t seem like it would be an issue; there’s that entire area in Zangarmarsh where the bog giants run around killing the baby Sporeggar (I’ve always hated that you can’t interfere with the script and save the poor widdle things. Dratted giants will evade until it’s over). And I spend a great deal of grinding time in Nagrand and I’ve never seen a Huntress, and seen the Hunters attack maybe three times. That’s not a lot of processor time being used there. All v. mysterious.

Is it removed completely, or just as a pet? I always thought it was kind of cool how they were scripted to attack talbuks, but did have problems with them “stealing my kills” on occasion when I had to kill those talbuks in Nagrand. x) I always classified it as a minor annoyance though, I wouldn’t have thought it’d be removed completely.
