Check these on the 9.1 PTR to test for previously unavailable tames: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=26552
Check these on 9.1 PTR to test if they keep their names when tamed now: https://ptr.wow-petopia.com/tamenamesuggest.php

Things we know regarding hunter pets:
- Korthia's "Shardclaws", those reptilian bears, can be tamed. Comes in five colors.
- Korthia's "Hoppers", those adorable salamanders, can't be tamed. Yet. Many battle pets exist, such as "Mosscoated Hopper".
- Korthian wolfhawks can't be tamed. Yet.
- Classic Boars received a model and texture overhaul that stayed faithful to the original. Click to view the comparisons.
- Classic Boars make use of their idle animations far, FAR more often now.
- The armor on classic boars is now a separate geoset rather than a painted texture, so any skin can be armored now.
- Bugged tames in dungeons, such as Skorpyron, are now flagged untameable. Bummer.
- There are versions of the Night Fae covenant's flying mount that do not have saddles. No known users yet.
- There are versions of the Necrolord covenant's flying mount that do not have saddles. Currently as battle pets.
- There is a new devourer that resembles a crawg. As of April 13, it's a beast in some cases. Maybe unintended.
- Classic hippogryphs use the same animations as Legion hippogryphs now.
- Mammoths have a more realistic elephant run animation now.
- Feathermanes Kveldulfnir and Varoudnir are stuck in flight animation when idle and attacking. Possible bug.
- Feathermane Marvarnir retains the constant idle animation of looking left and right with no idle animation otherwise.

The boars are so cute now, and they have different patterns. Even the Armored Boars got a glow up.

On the PTR, here's what I noted to have changed;
- Nighthold Crystal Scorpids now list as "Creature not Tameable". RIP.
- Emerald Nightmare's nightmare spiders now list as "Creature not Tameable". RIP.
- There is a pet model for the Maldraxxus Covenant mount. It's used as a battle pet, but...!
- The Maw-themed dragonhawk is a mythic mount from Sylvanas. It's name is "Vengeance".
- The Korthia wolfhawks are all named "Razorwing" in the mount journal. Possible unofficial name?
- The Korthia bear things are called "Shardhide" in mount descriptions.
- The mechanical owlcats are called "Aquilon".
- The new warp stalker appearance is not on wild instances.
- Plant hydras are still elementals. I'll keep hoping!

EDIT: Hot diggety dog that boar is nice.

As fluffyowner pointed out, the boar models are in, and the dnew patterns are evident. Mature Swine, outside of Orgrimmar, have three colors.
- Boarskinbrown is now a rough and gruff brown with a blck mane and white-ish tufts on its shoulders.
- boarskincrimson, as fluffyowner showed, has nice stripes.
- boarskinivory has a spotted look, and is my favorite so far.

I really hope they seed the new Warp Stalker model in the open world if they don't intend to apply them to the old models.

Zombie boars look excellent. A little less bony, but the zombie look is great.

EDIT: Wowhead shows the new models now if you switch over to PTR.

Though unlikely, the new Mechanical Dragon Whelpling would be great for Mechanicals

Image

The giant fly would be great

Image

I don't see these rats becoming tamable, but you never know.

Image

These worms could potentially be added, though I remember Blizz describing them as basically being battle pets.

Image

I don't think that these will be tamable, though they are neat.

Image

This would be a very good addition. A secret tame in the Maw.

You aught to see the requirements to buy one of those worm pets. There's one that requires 10k pet charms. TEN THOUSAND.

That will probably be changed, but I know that they are very valuable to Brokers so them being expensive isn't too strange.

I hope so. The amethyst one is the best looking one, but 10k charms is...not something I'm looking forward to farming.

There will probably be a Devourer family added. The best fits would be these, animites, and gorgers.

I don't know about gorgers. They're bestial, but they're kind of like gronnlings and yetis. It'd be funny though it the next tome was for devourers, and the only things they had were reskins of crawgs and blood tocks.
