Another (perfectly safe!) trick-tame
As you can see he has an icy aura eminating from his front feet.
This is an appearance-only effect, not a buff. This means he is completely safe to trick-tame BUT will lose the ice if he dies etc.
METHOD: The first time I attempted to trick-tame him right off the bat, waiting until I had 2 seconds left on the tame before spamming the petabandon macro then immediately relogged. This attempt, however, failed. The second time I tried taming something first then trick-taming Icehorn. He was down at the ocean for this one with nothing tameable close by so I tamed a condor from a way off and came back. I don't know if time is an issue or if I simply got unlucky but again it failed.
This last time he was at his north-eastern spot within taming distance of some condors if I stood between them. I grabbed one of the birds and dismissed, then attempted the trick-tame immediately. Relog: success! The rhino was standing proudly at Varethyn's shoulder.
It took me a little over a week to get this right, having only seen him 3 times.
Tip: Do everything you can to increase framerate (low graphics settings) and reduce MS (turn off addons) for a higher chance the macro will take effect at the right time.
He's certainly been a hit with the guild so far. All I need now is a name.

How about Icemist? It's an apt description, in addition to being the name of the former capital city of the Taunka in Dragonblight.

Re: Another (perfectly safe!) trick-tame
Wow, I'd intended this thread to be about the rhino himself I appreciate all the names of course but I also made a thread over in Name That Pet
Thanks for the suggestions *ponders*

Re: Another (perfectly safe!) trick-tame
Well technically I did: as I said in the method I failed twice However I never camped for him, only flybys just to see if it was possible.Xakaal wrote: and wow, with that guy being a rarespawn im quite surprised you managed to pull it off without having to wait for another respawn :O
Thanks for the positive comments

Ooooooh!
I was a bit confused and worried for a sec there.

Re: Another (perfectly safe!) trick-tame
Basically the tank died on the 3rd boss and I habitually pulled out my tank pet... Yeah, Boreas died and lost his ice
HOWEVER! Just a few moments ago after lamenting the loss (but still loving the rhino) and slaving away getting Linkarien to level 85 I popped on to Varethyn and, lo and behold, Icehorn was waiting for me <3 So Icy Boreas is back again.
TL;DR Accidentlly killed the rhino, successfully retamed with ice intact

Re: Another (perfectly safe!) trick-tame
Rhinos are in the perissodactyla order, meaning they have an odd number of hoofed toes.Kahane wrote:what's with the hoof names? Rhinos don't have hooves! it'd be like calling him Icetalons, or Shiverbeak, or Chilledpseudopod!
How about Icemist? It's an apt description, in addition to being the name of the former capital city of the Taunka in Dragonblight.

Having a name with the word "hoof" in it works for a rhino.
Edit: Also, I should congratulate you on this tame. It looks really difficult. o.O Thanks for sharing this!
