Hi everyone! I'm shaking as I write this since I can't believe it happened... I was one of the first few people in the Molten Front overnight, and possibly the first hunter. As I finished the first dailies there, I remembered there were supposed to be rare tameable beasts around, so I immediately searched for them from the guide at
HuntsmansLodge.com.
The first I found was Deth'tilac, which was right behind the Forlorn Spire where he was supposed to be. He's quite big and gave me the creeps. I didn't want to die trying to tame him.

Nearby Deth'tilac is supposedly Solix. At first I thought he was above ground, so I couldn't find him. Although I could target him and get on top of his circle on the minimap, I couldn't seem to find him. None of my abilities seemed to be in range.

After 5 minutes searching, I gave up and went hunting for Anthriss. He was sitting out in the open, nice and yellow. As I got there, there was a warlock (also Alliance, thank goodness) who tapped it, seemingly intent on killing it. However, she hesitated then backed off, allowing Anthriss to reset. As I scouted the area looking for a deep lava pool (as part of the strategy), she asked if I wanted to kill it. I said no and told her it's a rare tame. After clearing some trash around it, I found the pool and proceeded with the tame strategy. At first I misjudged my disengage distance so ended up a couple of yards away fro the lava pool. I had to back up in order to get the web to fall off. At the end of the tame, my health was at 20~% or so.
- Anthriss server first!

After that, I decided to search for Solix again. Then I realized it was underground in a cave, whose entrance was not far from where Anthriss is, just a bit south. Luckily, the cave is empty. I'm assuming this won't be the case as the zone develops with more dailies. This was a harder tame because Solix is faster than I first thought. I died 3-4 times trying to tame it. The hardest part was trying to find the best pathing so that Solix remains far from me. I managed to circle one of the lava pools in such a way that it was always 180 degrees from me (while staying in range), with the help of Concussive shots and Frost traps. After its focus went to about 40%, I stopped and went on taming him.
- Gotcha, Solix!

The path to Kirix is currently blocked off by a large wall of flame, though I can see it skittering about in the distance. I assume this will be unlocked as the zone progresses. Likewise with Skitterflame.
Naming suggestions are appreciated!
I was able to dodge most of the fire by running along the edge of the path. When I died, I had just enough reach to get past the last stretch of the fire. Kirix wasn't my objective, since I don't like green pets, so I left him wandering there. Skarr, however, was where he was supposed to be. The hard part was that I am no BM (no Ancient hysteria) and didn't have potions of speed. As MM, I was able to tame, silence (to interupt his first cast), tame so that I had enough time to complete the tame.
