Ant Silithids are TAMABLE in 4.1 PTR, other than Swarmers

Unread post by Jolyroger »

I logged into PTR, went to Tanaris, and tamed a Green Silithid Ant, cannot remember the actual name. Same as the swarmer I had, but when I tamed it and it shrunk, it was so tiny. Dismissed and recalled, still the size of a puppy (not dog/wolf).

I checked the Dune Rattlers and the other snakes, still have diets but still NOT tamable.

Good to know :) If people are reporting on these (and other things) can you please take the time to report the actual name of the beast you tame and possibly a screenshot of the tame? It'll make Mania's job SO much easier. Thanks :)

Ya ya ya. Let me get a screenie or two.

hehehe

You can trust me, I am Alliance, LOL.

EDIT:
Hazzali and Centipaar Workers. Screenies included. Now notice the size difference between the tamed Hazzali and the Centipaar. But I am sure it will get all worked out.

That's good news! I remember one pet challenge that Vephriel did, where she was assigned a Silithid Swarmer. The color was what threw her off; she just couldn't bond with it. So, this is great news for her, and others who are in the same boat.

Nice work :) Has anyone checked out the other ones? There are some in the hive in Feralas, a bunch of others in Silithus, one in Un'Goro, some in RAQ and TAQ.

On PTR, I checked the 3 hives in Silithis, the one in Feralus, and the one in Ungoro.

All the ant type were tamable. Screenies included.
