The options for the battle pet suck too, due to how you get them. One's a mythic drop from BoD, one's an island expedition drop, and the last (and worst color) is bought from a rep in Nazmir.
Hopefully some day wow will let us tame frogs too, same with coppertop toads for mechanicals, should rename to “amphibian” to allow more options of amphibian pets like frogs, or maybe adding salamanders or newts in the future would be cool, and I’m still waiting to tame that mech cat and frog, like mentioned above by scrap king, like if we can tame mech chickens and sheep, why not mech kitties and frogs

1. Be in a party with a warlock and two others (One a hunter with a spirit beast), and one person has the Brewfest toy that makes everyone drunk when nearby
2.You receive a summon to <insert pink elekk area here> after becoming a ghoul
3. You aggro the elekk after becoming drunk from the toy by spitting zombie juice on it
4. The spirit beast heals you, and you let yourself die
5. Elekk is aggroed on to the spirit beast, so the hunter with SB mends pet and dismisses the pet (Other hunter can tame from here if you want)
6. When you revive, you use something to heal the other hunter. Bandages for example.
7. Other hunter feigns, elekk is aggroed to you now
8. Tame beast

Not sure if this will work, especially since it's got harsh requirements, but I'm gonna get some friends and try.
If on Horde, I can join with my Warlock or Hunter.
If on Alliance I can join with my Hunter only.

As I said before, I am down once prepatch releases, my battle tag is Diablo15#1972, plz text me whenever we have the chance, I wouldn’t want to miss out on a once a year rare tame, even college work won’t hold me back from that pink elekk, and I’m horde too
Edit-just searched for a couple of the NPCs, and they are flagged tameable, yesss

Here's another "Beehemoth" of the expansion.

Mystic Rainbowhorn

Image

It's tameable, but it's too high of a level to tame. Has a purple aura and leaves a rainbow trail when it walks. Doesn't appear to be an existing skin under the purple either, but I could be wrong.

Either way, won't be tameable until after SL.

It has been recorded in the database, just not on the main website yet due to a unique model needing to be made for it. The base skin is already used by other stags in the zone. :)

Something to mention regarding the pink elekk, and it applies to really all of the new families. When beasts were flagged as tamable for these families, the method was just flagging anything using an Elekk, Cloud Serpent, Camel, etc. Model. Even if the mobs is always friendly to both factions or even if it has some name like “Draenor Elekk (Test)”, they were made tamable. Didn’t matter whether or not you could actually tame them or if they were actually in the game.

Oh damn. That’s another unique looks I’ve forgotten to make, isn’t it?

Even though I didn’t grind cloud serpent rep with collecting eggs, I still went all the way through with the quests and saved timewarped badges for the rep, and it was still effective questing in MOP once a day

Just tested my summon theory on ptr with my friends. Can't summon ghouls, and the debuff that would turn you into one falls off if taken too far. Unless we did something wrong. So, pink elekk (and any other friendly tameables) remain untameable...for now. Also, that new icon for Shadowlands pets on the main site made me laugh. Giant SL was unexpected.

Ok, you can still find ways to try it, the closest to pink elekk we can find is rosy, even though it’s not that Pink, it has pink tints and yeah, that’s basically it

So i went in the mount journal and noticed that the flayedwing mounts have different wing colors on one black skin

and the bald black flayedwing from an unkown source has a tannish-grey wings

Most of the chimaeras may look the same based on body color, but they may have different wing colors, and still unsure if wild beasts have those minor differences since i dont have access to beta

Edit-their underbellies also match the wing's colors

I'm fairly sure you're just looking at three skin colours there: "black", dark brown, and purple. They are kind of similar in certain light.
