That would be cool if we could get fel stalkers those things are cute as all hell.

I was thinking, there's no new exotic beast families, maybe it's a hint we might be dropping that specification? Here's hoping.

the Engulfed Felstalkers he spawns when you pick a fight with him are tameable and are hounds.
I know this is a bug but I'm I wrong to want these guys to remain tameable

Duskwarren Spitter and Slicer are tamable.

Duskwarren Bulwark is tamable.
Are these the "Darkwarren" gorms?

Yes, I doubt that it is intentional for them to be tamable.

Yes, it is the darkwarrens. My mistake :lol:

It is always possible that they are, but how the Undead group works is that they are members of already existing families. The undead whelps wouldn’t fit into any existing families, and so it is unlikely that they are tamable. That said, if someone wants to go and check them out, it can never hurt :)

We know that Pandaren are able to tame Cloud Serpents without the Order rep. It's weird that Beast Lore says it is tameable but a Pandaren Hunter doesn't know how to tame it. Maybe there's a certain level Cloud Serpent taming unlocks for Pandaren? It may be intentional to prevent a low level player from having a cloud serpent pet, or it may be a bug. I'll submit a bug report for it. I'm also not going to progress the quest line any further. I'll log her out here and check on it again after the update next week.
Maybe they're considered exotic? Try hitting 20 and checking again

It might not be a bug. There's a ghost wolf that spawns as part of a quest "boss" fight in Pandaria that are tameable and intended to be so.

It is more than they are Felstalkers, which are demons, and not actually beasts. I get that some are interested in having them, but I think that demons should remain something that are largely in the domain of Warlocks.

There are hellhound and darkhounds summoned from inner demons and nether portal, but I understand why dreadstalkers should be untameable, but I wish there was a beast similar to dreadstalkers

Which is honestly why I wish Demo locks could do something similar to taming beasts, but for demons.

Same for Unholy DKs and non-animal undead.

I completely agree. They don’t have to make new demon families or anything. Just, for example, have Felstalkers and Felhunters be in the same family.

I would love to have an Ur’zul, a vile fiend, and a felbat on my warlock’s side

They're part of the serpent family, which is not exotic. I need to get to 20 with her anyway to check on the Guardian of the Elders later in the questline.

I know they're serpents. But I'm thinking it might be a weird exception to a rule or a coding stipulation that wasn't removed.

Worth checking at least

I am a monster. I only felt slightly better about this because it's beta and I wasn't actually stealing someone's chance at a super rare mount.

Also, the Crimsonscale Firestorm on the TImeless Isle is tameable. That's the red one I have.

Huolon keeps his name when tamed.

Can't wait for live to see how salty people will get once Cloud Serpent taming comes to live servers. Hope the Secret Finder Discord will be open to help Hunters tame these mount rares, because I don't want to see them stolen from people who've had to wait for a chance at disappointment.

Also, I wish there was a tameable normal green one. No thunder, no heaven, just a regular serpent. Only one I have seen on wowhead despawns very quickly.
