Interesting....that seems to be an updated list, so if a pet's changed species from the original one datamined a couple of years ago, we can presume that it's one of the new beasts in game. But that's a big if! Most have not changed families.
Unfortunately, that list on its own doesn't indicate whether a name is a placeholder or actually being used.
Well my Nagrand haul found another about bloody time.
The insanely skittish Wild Sparrowhawks that now have no purpose since the Druid quests got removed are finally tamable. Still the old grey owl skin though. They are practically a challenge tame way they're fleeing from this innocent lower level just standing here.
My main's a Druid so I of course love critters. That counts for something right? Right?

Thanks They were made tameable in 5.0, though. The secret to maintaining threat, for me, was to use scare beast on them, as weird as that sounds. They still flee, but they don't drop threat in the process. You have to be quick on the tame and hope they don't get out of range before it finishes.

Petopia could use an update then, since the site still lists them as untameable.
It isn't perfect honestly but there are 377 entries for rare beasts. Before I do any work to it, I want to see if anyone thinks a list of just the new names would be of value. Right now it is 377 long, and includes all beast rares, such as Alani. I was going to remove any name that is currently in game, leaving only the new critters. I didn't want to just spam the thread with such a long list, so I wanted to see if anyone (especially OP) would see any value in it for database or list purposes.
I am so sad to see another beat take Gezz's skin (black warp stalker) I've had her sense she was first found tamable with her cool lightning effects when summoned.. this just makes her feel less unique.
Same with the corehound, darn it I worked hard to get into black rock for mine. That erks me a bit that it's now easier to grab.
The purple beetle too.. man.. Ima be letting go of a few pets now. These tames were like hard feets to over come! Now it's just meh.
Amisha - lv 100 Tauren Hunter - Silver Hand:US - Pet Stable Twilatsuki - lv 95 Night Elf Hunter - Argent Dawn:US - Pet Stable
I'll attempt to lurk back up Zangar and into Blade's Edge in a bit since suspect my other 4 characters and Deni's higher level are STILL pretty screwed.
And was going off Petopia on the skittish Sparrowhawks God I miss the Druid questchain it was fantastic.

Think they mean Chromaggus, but I digress.
Oh right.
Considering how difficult it can be to get to Chromie himself....well....I think more people will be happy with the change than not.
Well for one of my friends it will be, we never got round to it before our only remotely tanking person died :/ There's only so much insanity I can pull off on Aria buggering around in bear form. Doesn't make the BWL versions any less special as you can recount tales of the baywatch room.
Seems my PTR account has entirely been hit by the 90% load screen so for the time being I'm buggered.
