I Tamed a Devilsaur!
Now *this* is a pet!
Mind you, Kaet is a dwarf, and my new pet did shrink quite a bit … but still — that’s one tall lizard.
He’s got a couple of problems, though. He doesn’t have a proper run animation — he just walks really fast. And he kept his heavy thudding footsteps (although thankfully he doesn’t actually shake the ground when he walks). He has a roaring animation he does when he’s sitting around idle, but it has no sound … so it rather looks like he’s coughing up a hairball.
My little devilsaur comes with Growl, Cower, Bite, the resistances, and Monstrous Bite (Rank 1):
Your devilsaur ferociously bites the enemy, causing 4 to 6 damage, and boosts its own attack power by 5% for 12 seconds. This effect stacks 3 times. (25 Focus, Instant, Melee Range, 10 sec cooldown)
He uses the Ferocity talent tree and doesn’t appear to have any special talents.
Oh, and by the way — Kaet is completely untalented. So while it is likely that devilsaurs are exotic pets, it’s not currently linked with the 51-point Beast Mastery hunter talent.
(By the way, my thanks to Shinryu Masaki for e-mailing me about the devilsaur & chimaera news mere seconds after it appeared. *grin*)

[...] Devilsaur seems to be tamable atm Mania’s Arcania I Tamed a Devilsaur! [...]
Man i hope they make high land mustangs exotic pets, i want a pony so badly.
Mania, be so kind and tame a chimera :) http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?npc=11497#same-model-as:0-2+1
I want a beta invite to be able to run around taming new pets!
;- )=
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?pet=38
Well, I tried — I’ve hit all the chimaeras I could find (I didn’t run into any of the rares) and not one of them can be tamed. And I’ve got to go to bed now — I’m falling asleep in my chair. :> But I’ll see what I can find out tomorrow if you guys don’t hear something before then.
Aw! It’s cute :3!
My next bet is hydra.
Chimeras are untamable in this beta build, so we have to wait till next build probably. =]
I can just picture someone PvPing or doing battlegrounds with this pet now … hilarious!
That’s truly cool. Gratz mania. Thanks for the pic.
Now what happens to him when you respec to MM?
Doh, just read your last sentence. Still,.. wondering what will happen in live. Assuming you keep the pet but cannot summon it. Just swap in and out of stable.
I briefly chatted with Mania last night during he quest to check out tameable pets.
I can confirm that
The Kurken
2 headed dogs in SMV
Chimeras in SMV
Arakkoa Protectors in BE
Basilisks in Terrokar
Fen Striders in Zangar
Lightning Bugs in Zangar
Are not tameable as of yet. Still looking though.

I honestly did a little dance in my chair when I saw this. How pathetic am i?
Its really big.
But too big for play in a group. Mage:”I can´t see the Boss, put your pet away hunter”
i think itd be cooler raptor size, but thats my opinion, lol
“I tamed a Devilsaur” sounds like the name of a B movie. :)
However, I have a feeling a lot of people will want one though. There are, what, four of them in the game right now :)
But very cool :)

Nevermind the Mage, I can hear the MT in Vent already “WTF is THAT!”. I nearly gave one of my guild’s tanks a heart attack when Bestial Wrath first came along; first time he even noticed any pet other than an owl. *grin*
This guy ‘though… actually tempts me to go try my hand at PvP. *HUGE EVIL GRIN*
5 actually if you count the one in Northern Netherstorm. Tyranus or whatever his name is. There are 4 in Un’Goro Crater. Black, white, 2 Tan ones - 1 of which is King Mosh.
Ryuu-
Oh, there are four of them wandering around Un’Goro? I’m usually running away too fast to notice what’s chasing me other than it’s huge, it bites hard and it’s elite!
Every so often I go back and kill the elite guys who killed me leveling up.
lol, I was just thinking Tsani how this would be perfect for PvP… Imagine the terror at seeing that running towards you!
I’m confident that not every other hunter will spec BM or go for the 51 point talent. Even those that do, I imagine many will be interested in different types of Exotics or will just have the talent for the pet talent points.
Personally I’d love a Devilsaur, but I’d go for a different colour. Then again I’d be tempted to go for many available that are currently untameable. Which reminds me - do we think the Chimera will do frost damage with one head and lightning with the other?
Btw, someone on Wowhead comments said about the Devilsaur spell: Everytime your devilsaur uses this spell he grows larger.
I’d love to know if this is true or not… and with Bestial Wrath… mmm!
omg how did u get that i want it now im now jelous were can i get it lol
woohoo! that is awesome. I want one. mmmmm devilsaur. mebbe I can start a blog about Bid Devilsaur Butt (BDB)
omfg o.0….. Shame the first thing im going to be doing when WOTLK is released will be waiting in un’goro with 100+ other hunters waiting for http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=6498 to spawn :.(. but none the less this is one sick looking pwt for sure.
plz edit my typo plz :( pwt = pet -.-
I cannot wait for WotLK. A devilsaur, I have been wanting to tame one of those like forever. I hope it is not a glitch or something.
Frikken. Sweet.
That has got to be one of the most awesome things I’ve seen in this game. And if this line of pet is opened, imagine what else is!.
Quick, someone in the beta head to MC and check out corehounds!
I can’t wait for Wrath!!!
I’m with mugungo; screencap of your new pet in BW plz????? Pretty plz. Also, has the emerald skytalon changed tooltip with the patch? I resisted birds until I hit 65 and found Trachela, now I looooove them. Devilsaur schmevilsaur, I’m getting that skytalon if it becomes tameable!!!!! (Otherwise I’ll be in Ungoro with Killfrenzy and the 100+ others >.>)
OMG I SO WANT THE PET ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL I CANT WAITFOR WoTLK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that is an amazing screenshot! Please, Blizzard, let my tauren hunter tame a kodo!
Congratulations, Mania! I guess you heard that I wanted the white Devil saur. lol I’m so, very jealous! I want that Epic pet! lol
She, Ceron, she :P
If the size doesnt change when wotlk hits live, I`ll be very very happy. I wished for exotic pets to be bigger than normal pets after taming and this seems the be the case.
Now Im gonna have to start praying so the size doesnt get shrunk when this goes live :D
What I want to know is, what do you feed a devilsaur?
You know, they’ve said we’ll be getting no new stable slots in Wrath… that sucks.
But I’m told that if you look at the new windows for our mount and non-combat pet spells, there’s also a tab that says… pets. [Non-combat pets are Companions in this system.]
So maybe Blizzard told the truth without telling any truth at all? What if our pets are going to become spellslots in this new window?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Insider has shots of the black one along with conformation that the devilsaur grows even larger when his family skill is used.
http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/07/29/devilsaurs-tamable-on-wrath-servers-chimeras-may-be-next/
I wonder what happens if you tame an exotic pet, then respec from BM to the other trees — will the pet be unusummonable until you spec back?
It feeds on clefthoof and gronn.
Why, casters, of course!
“What I want to know is, what do you feed a devilsaur?”
They usually eat PCs when in the wild.
Heh!
Looks like they just eat meat, actually.
As for what happens when your respec away from BM, Ghostcrawler, the Hunter Beta Representative/Class Dev posted:
From a previous ManiasArcania article:
http://www.maniasarcania.com/2008/07/28/more-on-exotic-pets/
Why would you want your Devilsaur to eat anything other then meat?
Why, when I think of the Devilsaur as a Pet, do I get flashbacks from the movie “Galaxy Quest”, the scene where the summon Gir’ig’nak (The Rock Monster) into the room of Soldiers and he stomps them all.
Whats that Mr. Rogue? You’d like to kill me? SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Nom Nom Nom…….
I PRAY BLIZZARD THAT YOU DONT SHRINK THE DEVILSAUR WHEN WoTLK COMES LIVE PLEASEEE DONT PLEASEEE IM BEGGING
My guess about respeccing seems to be correct…
I want an ability to tame ghotly pets like the Grimtotem Spirit Guides and that ghost owl circling around the Honor Hold tower! :(
Agravaine, at the moment the word is that when you respec out of beast master, your pet is dismissed and cannot be resummoned, but you can stable them. Once stable you can not un-stable them.
A ’spell’ book of pets would definitely be interesting. I still think we need a limit of like, I dunno, twenty or something, but a limit none the less! *Grins*
You have to admit, if we get a “spellbook” of pets that increases how many we can have tamed, that *technically* isn’t giving us more stable slots. Technically… <–> Have to wait and see I guess. :-)
I will say this, I am beyond stoked to be getting a Devilsaur, but I’m also kinda pissed. I spent the last week raising up a Raptor since Ravagers are gonna be Cunning now. Now this lovely creature comes around. All that effort, wasted.
Oh, well, I’ll see you all in Un’Goro
Well you do realise that it’s not really wasted? You’ll have your raised up raptor for two or three MONTHS…
I’m lvling up a second hunter as we speak and every time I spend gold to train him or tame a goofy pet just for one pet skill I say “Ok well, I won’t have to do this in months, but I’m not going to play for MONTHS with an inferior pet just waiting on it”
It’ll be worth it ‘now’ and untill LK comes out. So don’t see it as a waste. Just look on it as “The last time I”ll have to buy this skill or the last time I have to tame the ONE PIG in the world that has gore 7, just so my ravager can learn it…. sort of thing.
http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/articles/untameables.php
Since exotics have been confirmed (sort of) to only still be beasts, these are the only existing untameable beast families in-game. I reckon they will be added slowly with each beta patch, as they will all need to be given animations, stats, abilities, talents, etc.
Want to see an exotic tank pet, but I dont see much potential of that from this list.
Hydras can be cool though.
Omg it looks so cool, thanks for the picture Mania! Looking forward for more Exotic Pets!
I’m still sad, Bears should have been DPS Pets. Oh well… :(
f that I want worgen pets!
Worgen negroW O.o
dam man thats one big mutha fucker mi pet gets big like that some times onlii cuz its bugged.
i want one of those untamable worms so awesome :P
I want that two headed dog! Bring on the exotics!
Urge to roll a hunter . . . rising
And give me a giraffe next Blizzard! ;)
Sexy.
I demand Worms and Tripods now!
See the link above, a hunter taming Tyrannus at Netherstorm.He even shows him with Bestial Wrath on…
It’s a must for everyone to see imo
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=devilsaur&search_sort=video_date_uploaded
While in Beastal Wrath, I’d love to see a devilsaur pick up a Rogue or Pally in its mouth and shake them vigorously back and forth several times while chomping on them, then slam them to the ground and stomp on the Carcass until their heads explode. Call it justice. :)
I want a shark!!!!
:)
Actually I want a 2 headed dog, though a Chimera or a Tripod would be sort of cool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrxEOuX55Sc
Ok that was cool.. He’s big.. big big.. tauren on a tybuk big.. but not “TOO BIG”
Nice… Probably won’t get one on my guy, not his style, but I’m glad they’re out there should I ever want to.
Thanks Mania! First thing I thought when I saw the topic on the WoW hunter forum saying they where in the last beta database was “OMFG Mania has to know about this!” lol Sucks the Chimeras aren’t tamable right now though. But still I’m really looking forward to taming the white/purple Devilsaur since it will match well with my Warp Stalker. =P
Heh, I’ve only just now realized - I can no longer go kill those big giant dinos in the crater - not if they’re legit hunter taming fodder! I have to admit to enjoying any revenge killing of those guys, just because they always seem to easily sneak up on my lvl 50ish characters when I’m questing in the crater.
I really hope people start taming and keeping them - can’t see enough of those big guys as pets, wandering around cities. (You know they dream of going all Godzilla over the place too!)
Great News For Hunters In WOTLK! « Bag Of Mad Bastards - July 30th, 2008 @ 2:06 am EDT
[...] Now that is a pet, obviously it is still in beta so there are some small problems but I can’t wait. check out the full story at Mania’s Arcania [...]
Dear gawd…that red/brown Devilsaur calls to me. I must have one!
I imagine the Netherstorm Dome and Ungoro Crater are going to be filled with camping hunters the day WotLK is released.
Holy Shit… I want one so badly!!!
New spectator sport in capital cities: hunter devilsaur duels.
Well that’s pretty xciting! Although having been a long standing fan of Raptors anayway I don’t overly have a desire to tame one.
The Kurken however - now that my friends is a different story entirely…
yes. epic win. lets hope blizz doesn’t nerf their size now.
i hope Hydra can be the next exotic pet. :)
Devilsaur, I choose you! « Mend Pet - July 30th, 2008 @ 9:21 am EDT
[...] if you haven’t heard the news, Exotic pets seem to be more along the lines of Devilsaurs and the other beast-like creatures [...]
This is awesome news. It’s times like this I’m glad I rerolled as a hunter.
Other exotics that I want to see:
- Other dinosaurs (the diemetradons, etc)
- 2-headed dogs
- Clefthoofs
- Elekks
- Hydras
- The worms in Silithus
- Stags
- Cows (the critter)
I’m looking forward to more “Exotic” pets, as long as they *look* good. And especially white/albino ones. I love white/albino animals! lol
As a hunter myself im out of my mind seeing those pictures.. and i just so happen to be dwarf myself aswell.. male kind tho… this creature is gonna be 3x the size of myself.. not including beastialwrath .. probably 4x the size :S
1 part of me says.. omg i need that.. its gonna be awesome
other part is just a paranoid dwarf wandering infront of a 20 feet tall monster feeling like a lump of meat :S .. do i dare tame it ?!
..Im…So…GETTING ONE!
HURRY UP AND LAUNCH WotLK!!!
I am Ukrainian so sory for my english. If you can tok with some one of Blizzards wich can make any desigens? If yes can u tel thet taming non player druids is a great wish of all the hanters (the pet wich look like druid form it will be great)
This is a great sign that Blizz is listening to us, as we want BIG pets. I know every hunter will have one come release day but after a month or so there will only be a few of us who are loyal to our Devilsaur :)
All we need is a kodo/cleefthoof or a huge dinosaur to tank.
Though I doubt there is a healer pet on the horizon, that would be to op in groups, or is there?
People talking about the worms–I’ve noticed there’s a new worm skin in the Wrath model files that’ve been making the rounds, the Jormungar worms.
They’re PRETTY. Like sea slugs. I really hope those end up as exotics at least.
ZHEVRAS! come on blizz do it for me?
I don’t think sharks or threshadons can happen, simply because they live and are very water prominent creatures. Heck, watching a shark or a threshadons sorta swim in the air, or along the ground would be funny, though!
I don’t see anything wrong with making water beasts tamable, but making them only usable in water - rather like having a tanking pet, a dps pet, etc. Perhaps they’d have to make the other pets more prone to drowning (they can drown now, though it’s only happened to me once, when I was AFK).
My main has Hook of the Master Angler, from winning the fishing contest, so she can turn into a fish whenever she’s in the water. It would be cool to have a hammerhead as a companion.
On the subject of the Devilsaur and Monstrous Bite (Rank 1), it’s difficult to see how a spell with a 12 second duration and a 10 second cooldown can stack 3 times, but I guess that’s just something which hasn’t been fully thought-out yet.
The Monstrous Bite thing is simple. It last for 12 seconds but has a cooldown of 10 which means the second bite goes off before the first expires. This refreshes the duration of the first bite and stacks to 2. The third would refresh the second and stack to 3. Repeating this over and over, you would think that the Devilsaur would have the extra 15% AP constantly. However, pet miss rates (especially for boss fights) are around 10-12% even talented. This means that the Devilsaur WILL miss some Monstrous Bites which means the buff will expire before the next bite refreshes it. The AP buff will be lost and the next bite will start the cycle again. I suppose you could be very lucky and have your pet not miss many, therefore keeping the buff up near constantly.
i saw on that one link that the cooldown is 7 seconds not 10 but maybe final one be 10
Oh emm gee….
I know about devilsaurs and i probably will be the one amongst so many hunters in netherstorm, waiting for Tyrantus…
(Luckily i have epic flying mount and Tyrantus spawns very fast though)
And i think i will never leave a devilsaur again. I am all about dinosaurs - two raptor pets and a raptor mount. And now, omg, a simply, TREX over there.
Imagine the doom of opposite arena team when you open the door and your Devilsaur runs towards a rogue or mage… gnome. Mhehehe.
I wonder. How it will look with me. I am a bloof elf female character.. near Trex it will look quite cool, think personally. Not the one girl to mess with i guess xD
Cooldown is 7 seconds if you have 3/3 Longevity, 10 seconds otherwise.
Mania, according to petopia, Chimeras ARE tameable in this Beta build… But only Nuramoc in Netherstorm. Could you confirm this for us, please? >:D
Dairar: Yes, Nuramoc is the only tameable chimera in this build, according to Ghostcrawler. There should be more in the next build.
Keep in mind that with as much news coming out of beta as there is, I don’t always make it back to correct previous posts. :> Your best bet is to check the more recent posts and see if more recent information is available.
Looks like my old Ghost Wolf will catch some dust in the stables.. Hehe. WoTLK looks exciting, I want my beta key! n.n
UGGHHHHH I HOPE IT DOESNT SHRINK
Oh god, I’m even more tempted to play as a Hunter now and go BM like crazy! XD
This sure is promising for Hunters everywhere. :)
Gnome: “T-REX IS EATING MY FACE!!”
whats the devilsaur named in the SS. i like the blue collor. :P
well a ironhide devilsaur is blue but they r perrty hard to find u have to find a ironhide devilsaur if u aren’t 65 or higher cause ironhide doesnt have any knockback abilities tyrant will kick u and u have to start tame again and regular will stun u and u will have to start tame again the hard part about taming these though is that u cannot stun them while u tame them or else u start tame again i also reccomend u get the kurken the two faced dog that is lvl ten when u tame it it automatically gets to ur lvl and it fricken pwns people that r at ur same lvl
o yea and try using beastial wrath on either of these two beasts both grow to there original size!!!!![the size they were when u tried to capture them]
how do get him to not fear you?
also i can not find the ironhides …. where are they????
OOOOO WHERE IS KURKEN THE 2 FACEDDOG!!!?????
