Will any pets retire or is that over?

Hi!

I'm curious if there will be any soon-to-be-retired pets to get before the expansion, or did that stop happening?

The family is being merged with Chimaeras, but the actual Rylaks themselves will still exist and are still tamable.

The only pets that are ever really "retired" are ones that were never meant to be tameable, so, they aren't so much retired as fixed. Blizzard lets hunters keep the harmless ones most of the time, like the oil wolves and grubs and such.

I think the new versions of the old zones are going to be phased, so any tameable mobs that were only found in the old versions will still be reachable. The only other thing I can think of, is if there were tameable beasts in the mage tower challenge scenarios, that weren't tameable elsewhere.

There aren't any tamable beasts in any of the Hunter Mage Tower challenges. The BM challenge has worms, but they have never been tamable.
