Peach and I SCIENCE'D the ones in WPL, no dice. Worgs and hawks won't work. Sheep are separate NPCs.

We're trying to test out the dogs in SM if anyone wants to help and try too :D There are two types of buffs, a dog that is chained to a post and the ones that get perma-sleepy when they finish eating their trainer.

You can't duel though so the timing is difficult.

Eternallylostx and I have been working on the Time-Twisted Nightsabers in End Time. These don't have an appearance buff but they do make a beautiful sound effect after they've been in a pool of moonlight!
This is an extra tricky tame though >_< Inn an instance, have to get them under a moon pool... just man this is so tricky. XD
Only got one Emerald Dragonshrine and now have to wait an hour for instances to clear up.

If anyone wants to help out in that time we could probably use more freezing traps to save more kitties. XD

Hey there, I was pondering taming an Amberscale Basilisk with the Sha buff, since it persists through death. I took a swing over to where they are and noticed they are just monochrome, with no wisps of Sha-ness or oily Sha puddles underneath as the kitties and scorps have. Not sure if it is just not noticeable in the lighting, or if they truly are just monochrome. Anyone have one tamed that can clear this up for me? I'd hate to bug someone to help me snag one if he was just colorless. Thanks!

OK, we know that the consumed thistle bears hold their auras, as to i have one pre-nerd of kill tame method.
I thought i saw a while ago that the infested bears from the area of tarren mill keep the aura of green mist with the skulls upon death. And i did see this when i killed a few.
Anyone interested in helping to see if this tame is available to us?
Holla at me if you do, have both horde and allie on us servers.
See my previous post for battle tag info =)
Hope to hear from a collector or two soon


*PS
I have an allie worgen that would love to have a flaming pig on him AND my daughter has a trial account with a tauren on it to do the quest.
Any assistance with this would be great and i am more than willing to return the favor while she is on winter break still for the next few days =)

I was checking out those Infested Bears and this is what I noticed. When you kill them, the little skulls they spit out disappear. When they die from the debuff of the spider eggs [Feeding the Brood], then they keep the skulls after death.

That's not a buff, that's just how they're sized, so no.

Not sure if this has been said but the Moths in Townlong have gold butterfly looking things around them, it doesn't persist through death.

Veiled Bask in Townlong turn visible type skin, doesn't seem to persist also

The Shadowbats aren't tameable from my understanding, and also their shadow form is a buff that lets them avoid anything that's not aoe.

EDIT: Putting all my research here, wish I knew how to delete other posts...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ivory Starlings have a subtle sparkle effect that's lost on death.

-----

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=63510#comments

Marked as tameable now, perhaps can be gotten with his color-changing buffs?

-----

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=63584#comments

Sha Crane, only visible if you have the Jade Serpent Celestial Daily PERMA SHA BUFF CONFIRMED

-----

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=63726#comments

Goes into a shiny camo form when casting a spell -- probable fragile buff, if a buff at all.

-----

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=62162#comments

Has shiny noticeable 'sparkles', fragile buff

-----


* http://www.wowhead.com/npc=60010#comments
* Has a separate rider NPC that for some reason turns friendly and hops on your goat's back when tamed.
