Milden Mud Snout: Does not keep its name and didn't show up as rare in the UI, though its WQ is rare.
Still keeping a look out for Baconlisk's World Quest to be up.
Re: Compiling a database of pets that retain their names after taming
I also managed to just catch one that I didn't have on the list.
Deepclaw, a world quest crab in Azsuna, was finally up today. I've been watching for that quest for many months and it's only finally appeared, and it retains its name.
Its look is unusual but not unique, as it's shared with Fathomless Mauler crabs in Tanaan Jungle.

Of the remainders:
- The bacon quest hasn't appeared in Suramar in ages, so we still can't test Baconlisk. Hopefully soon.
- Guardian of the Elders is probably not testable or tameable by anyone short of crazy.
- Pinky (quest version) is tameable in theory but I've had no luck as the other NPCs grab aggro and there are no other aggressives in the area to distract them with One post on Wowhead suggests letting my direhorn (which grabs aggro) die, but in practice it seems to have too much health to ever die (unless that's only an issue on the PTR).

Welcome to Petopia forums! Here's the link for Vathikur.Conso wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 7:10 pm Found a version of the Giant Cobra not listed on the main site. It is tameable and it DOES retain its name once tamed. It's in Vol'Dun, the rare Giant Cobra named Vathikur. It is also a different color than the shown green and red, more of a grey color, tames as Cunning spec. Coordinates are 56, 72 or north of the Temple of Akunda, in the mountains. Little open area with a bunch of pit snakes slithering around a dust mound. Kill the pit snakes Vathikur appears.

The Lost Spectral Gryphon in Stormwind does not keep her name.
Son of the Beast (102 elite, UBRS), the only corehound that uses the old model, does not keep his name, which is a shame.
Also in UBRS, Ironbarb Skyreaver (102 elite), which has a unique look and shows up in the third boss fight, Commander Tharbek, does not keep her name.
Oondasta does not keep his name.

Re: Compiling a database of pets that retain their names after taming
No, I haven't tried those. Since they don't have unique names I suspect they won't keep them.

Re: Compiling a database of pets that retain their names after taming
EDIT: Made it to level 17 with questing, wearing full heirlooms and with the Winds of Wisdom buff. Got a long way to go now, bleh. Turns out I can't party sync either. Gotta do it the old-fashioned way of mining and herbing for ages. This is going to take a while.

Re: Compiling a database of pets that retain their names after taming
I made it to level 27 on the island before I gave up and deleted my character.
Course, this was before the bonus exp buff.
And when you had to mailbox heirlooms, so I couldnt get them.
Siggy under construction!

Re: Compiling a database of pets that retain their names after taming
EDIT: 6 hours in, I'm level 36. I spent six hours of the day on this. What the hell is wrong with me lol.
EDIT 2: 12 hours in, and I'm almost 57. Can't party sync until you leave the starting area (not an option), can't do dungeons or PvP, and can't get exp any other way than herbalism and mining. The hardest part of this is having to turn on another episode or movie when the previous one ends.
EDIT 3: Hit level 61. Exp from herbing and mining has significantly dropped; instead of 2% of a level every node, it's now 1%, and takes 84 nodes for one level.
EDIT 4: Hit 62. Gonna take 113 nodes to level. Yikes.
EDIT 5: Hit 63. Now it will take 176 nodes. Almost there!
EDIT 6: Final sprint from 64 to 65 will take a whopping 361 nodes. The end is in sight.
