They will probably keep them. They aren't an unfair advantage, and they were mentioned in the ptr, which would've given them time to change the Marsuul so that the debuff wouldn't remain after taming.
They behave in a buggy manner (temporarily losing the buff on play dead, etc.). This both suggests that it was not something they did intentionally and gives them a reason to remove them.
hope they stay , or if they remove them they should atleast let people that already have them keep them like they did with original ghost wolf which i also have hope they dont touch them tho

The Fox does the same thing, so this Marsuul might have been intended to stay that way, when Lightning Paw plays ded, he loses his lightning effect until you dismiss him.
Ran out there and got mine first thing today. Just in case they take them out. I already had one of the sweet gray and green ones but these are truly unique. Wanted to grab one, JIC it wasn't intended and they take them out later. I still have one of the slimes so, if this one gets taken out, I'll have him.
Thing is. I actually like the look for itself. Not just the uniqueness. First day of Argus I ran all over the place to get my gray and green one (Place was so packed I had to go to the far end of the zone before I found one. On the way back I pass like 20 that had re-spawned.)
So yeah, I hope the shadowy ones remain. Nice find.
Interesting this one isn't 'on' Petopia yet. If I hadn't glanced at the forums I wouldn't have known to go for her.

Ah really? On my old Mac it comes out as a pure white silhouette, as do several other mobs on Argus, as well as a bunch of other effects post-7.3 I didn't realize on older Windows machines it came out without the effects at all.
Using it makes your pets look oily/black, similar to the Oil-Stained wolf (though not nearly as dark). You can get it from the island in Dustwallow Marsh where the Mech-spiders are. There's also Drudge Oil (I think its called) makes your pets look yellow/sickly. There's also a toy on that island that makes your pet big and red (kinda like the old Bestial Wrath).
That is a really neat find! I went to see it in person and....I don't think I like it as much as I expected to, the effect is a little too jarring and "glitchy" for my tastes. But I'm glad we have these cool appearance tames popping up.
