Yes :) But only by Horde, and they lose their packs after taming: https://www.wow-petopia.com/look.php?id ... nkey-mane3

There's a longer-maned version of that model, also only for Horde, in Stormsong Valley: https://www.wow-petopia.com/look.php?id ... nkey-mane1

While I'm not yet done surveying horses, it looks like there's going to be quite a few looks that are Horde-only, simply because there are a lot of horse NPCs are friendly to Alliance. Alliance will still have a good range to choose from, but Horde will have a lot more, unless those are given other sources before launch.

It’s sad how alliance can’t have their own mule/donkey, but I’m still in luck to have one, but I still prefer the felsteed, and I wish Blizz gave us pet toys like they did for hati, but added to the toy box for all pets like mounting, which should have a long cooldown, snacks, fetch, dress up, and an item to give abilities a new look if possible, I hope Blizz adds that soon

First sort of challenge tame.

The Slumbering Emperor is a stealthed red Ardenweald moth that is found in A Strange Cloud, just north of Hibernal Hollow. When you enter the cloud, you have about 3 seconds before you fall asleep and respawn outside of the cloud. The best thing that I found to do was to place a Freezing Trap at the location in the image below. If you're lucky, he'll fly into it and will be stunned. This was cause the cloud to dissipate and allow you to tame him.

Probably the coolest and funniest name for a moth like this, what an adorable emperor

God-tier name, but I think that one's been known for a while. I think I saw it on wowhead at one point. Still, best new moth skin comes with a sweet name? Count me in.

Neat, it's exactly as it was before. Can't wait to flag myself for pvp and make my pet wander around while I wait in hiding again.

Hopefully some day, I can make a YT vid on what we can do with Eotb, shadowlands, and on prepatch, I’m going to spend hours using every pet with this ability

The Corpse Tickler retains its spectral effect, so we have a ghost spider.

Unofficial spirit beast spider, yay. Does it keep the effect when feigning death?

I guess your right, I can open up and add more pets once prepatch releases, and I feel like Blizz won’t need to add more stable slots for a few more xpacs

Just a HUGE stretch, but are gargoyles tameable now with the undead tome?

They use the bat model. Wouldn't hurt to try
