MMO-Champion.com lists that hydras are now tamable as of the newest upcoming content patch.

You're welcome.

You may all begin fainting now.

I had actually just logged on to post something about this!

Not terribly happy about the Zul'Aman changes, but rather excited about everything else!

I'm a little upset that they keep ruining old raids and recycling them into new content. :( But yay for new mounts and hopefully the 5 mans will be fun. And yay tamable hydras! :D Boo for the hydra special being 5% crit.

5% crit buff likely means.....dps pets.

Attention hydralisk owners: please get your toon copied to the PTR and tell us what family they are! :D

(Pssst. Veph! PURPLE! Also, uh, here's a fainting couch...)

Character copies seem to be fixed, btw!

Someone needs to dig up the current hydra colors so we can start speculating on which we want... >]

Never saw either the Tiger or Raptor drop in any of my years of farming (Much like baron really) so while it sucks balls I'll still be punished for RNG hating me will be nice to get something. Downside is I've so dis-illusioned with instances (I've only done BRC so far and already suffered several wangasts for it) I've no idea if I'll even bother.

Still yay for hydras.

And to the above, Wain probably has the skins in his untamable skins thread.

YESSSS.

Also- THANK YOU Blizz for finally putting in a 100 and 125 minipet 'cheve. Though I'm a bit past that it's still very nice to know the minipet collectors aren't forgotten!

I already know EXACTLY which hydra I will be taming, depending on what's available:

1. Markaru - http://www.wowhead.com/npc=20775 (granted he's tamable. INFO PLEASE!)
2. Parched Hydra - http://www.wowhead.com/npc=20324 (Outland Hydras....PLEASE!)
3. Trigore the Lasher - http://www.wowhead.com/npc=3652 (Only red hydra ingame)


If none of them are tamable, I'd be sad. I love how Markaru looks, and would gladly settle for Parched, but even a regular hydra is fine too. Now, just to add basilisks and kodos....please blizz?

EDIT: Please no BM for these, PLEASE. BM spec sucks for dungeons, and it feels like I'm useless as bm D:. If someone could prove me wrong with a spec and rotation, that'd rock, but until then, I DON'T WANT TO BE A FIFTH WHEEL WITH A SHINY SPOKE, I WANNA KILL STUFF AND DO 20K DPS STILL!

^ This!

This is the only Hydra I've wanted since I saw him years ago on my first toon.

Take a poke at my armory.

Serpent Sting if not up.
Kill Command on cooldown.
Focus Fire on cooldown UNLESS under Heroism/Rapid Fire/Bestial Wrath.
Arcane Shot if above 75 Focus.
Ensure you're high on focus before triggering Bestial Wrath, so you don't waste time on Cobra Shot.
