And I can't grab a SS right now, but I got the quest names:
Horde: Silithissues
Alliance: Working the Bugs Out
Objective is the same: Use Bucket of Burning Pitch (quest item) to throw on the Silithid Mounds (they are the white things sticking up out of the ground around the Horde (Desolation Hold) and Alliance (Fort Triumph) fortresses in the middle of Southern Barrens), to call out 5 Silithid Swarmers per use.
Actually you can get more than 5. I did the quest0 unfortunately well before the patch on Lime and I'd kill for a swarmer on her- and I managed to dredge up almost a dozen on one use >_>
Anyways hoping this just means all ants eventually become tameable as it's stupid to lock away a unique pet skin such as the ant into a non repeatable quest that has to be unlocked by atleast a lv 30ish player to boot too..
Just get a friend/guildie to come summon up a few for you. Not everyone is gonna re-clear every zone for Loremaster

My friends don't have any alts there that can do the quest, that's what I mean :p and I'm probably not the only one to have blazed thru southern barrens on a leveling spree that can't get help.
Hopefully this won't turn into Shy Rotam 2.0, Cata edition!
I do suspect they're going to make other ant models tameable at some point. They are classed as silithids (Beast Lore them and you can see their diets); just untameable ones. I suspect in the next big patch they're probably going to throw the switch and make thme tameable. Or at least some of them.
Cool, hopefully I can trade mine in for a teal colored one I like my blue pets the best (Nanaki aside)

sigh, just th swarmers are tamable, none of the other models can be tamed, though as has been said, they will most likely make them tamable in the near future.

Like I said before, even tho they may (here- did) make them normally tameable and get rid of the cool dps tank glitch, I'd still keep it. I fell in love with my ant pet, although bacon is now competing for the tanking slot in my actives.
I know why I'm smiling, but why is everyone else??

I was wondering the same thing, as my ungoro fledgling colossus is still motionless...
curse you blizzard! This is the second time you've done this to me! DX First Gezzarak now the Ant!! ugh!! I really liked having a retired pet. It had a sense of accomplishment with it for some strange reason. *sigh*
It's bitter sweet.
EDIT: The change may have already been added. After reading this... "* Players who die within Ahn'Qiraj: The Fallen Kingdom are no longer granted a Spectral Gryphon mount while in spirit form"
This was in the same patch notes. I did AQ lastnight and was not given a Gryph to fly back to the portal when I died. I had used one last week in there. So those ants are probably already tamable.
ahhh! i said to myself i wasent gonna have more "2 of a family" in mah stable! well darnit. now i have two silithids i dont wanna let go.
Oh and it may despawn 5 min after tame. mine did, but just call it back
While this feature of the Grimtotem Spirit Guide wasn't exactly intended... - it will still be possible in future for everyone who wishes to tame this NPC to do so
That's the only kind that is current tamable, though the others (red/purple, teal, brown) probably will become tamable too at some point (probably sooner than later).
On a related note, this makes precedence for them to change/add pets to the tameable list at random/as they get them ready. Maybe we'll see some others that we've been wanting get thrown in.
I know why I'm smiling, but why is everyone else??
cheers bro.
