Imagine we get to intentionally tame harrowers at one point. If they do get intended, they should be placed in lesser dragonkin, that would make that family complete. As I do wish for Shredclaws and Grimlynxes to be tameable for survival hunter, BM finally gets their first new exotic family since BFA

Harrowers and Ultadons could be made tamable. There is even an NPC that is a Void Beast Master that is raising them.

The potential is here. So weird if they would be tameable or not both ways. They come in different colors that stand out from each other, most of the voidstorm creatures have that otherworldly reptilian-draconic look to them, the gladiator mount is literally a voidstorm proto drake. Hopefully more creatures will be made tameable. Soul Eaters, Razorwings, Void Creepers, etc have some potential to become tameable during midnight

The Bane of the Vilebloods is actually located in Voidstorm. However, due to old raids not being open, I can’t get the tome for blood beasts and so I can’t tame it. All other Blister Creepers are in the Blood Beast family but are untamable.

Once I get into beta, hopefully I can quickly copy my account data before it breaks so I can see how these guys look when tamed, I was able to do that in tww beta before it broke so I was able we to test blood beasts. Explaining skills, hopefully the haranir allied race can be tested soon so we can test florafaun taming before release cuz it will have the mend pet bug too at the beginning

So far, Haranir are not available for testing. They can be unlocked, but they are not shown on the character creation screen. As for Blister Creepers, they are currently only in the Voidstorm, which can only be accessed after finishing the questlines of Eversong, Zul'Aman, and Harandar. There isn't a way to get there beforehand by yourself.

I'm just now really glossing over the Midnight looks page, and I'm glad this specific plant hydra isn't tameable. If it was, everyone who has already unlocked Lightforged Draenei would NEVER have access to this skin without setting up an entirely new account on a different battletag. Hope they add its skin elsewhere, because that's quite the colorful hydra. Or, flag it and make it so Lorewalker Cho can give us lorewalking versions of these allied race unlocks lol. I would accept either option to be fair.

Hopefully the tenacity blue aura will be gone in a build or two. It wasn’t intended.

Well that's good news. Sure would've been awful if it was intended lol.

I found the one Ultradon that is tamable. Like with the Harrower, I don't think that this is intended, but still.

Lol that is a first for me. A tameable humanoid shaped creature. I still miss my fog beast from tww beta, if it had crawling animations it would be a decent pet

I was really hoping those two "Ravagers" would be hidden in plain sight long enough for them to be available on live like the baby salamander and burrowing worm were. Oh well. Blizzard knows the correct solution though; just make those models tameable by default. There are enough instances (at least that I've seen from other alpha testers) of those things being tamed by NPCs, or at the very least stabled.

Harrowers make more sense, they should be kept tameable and make them tameable as lesser dragonkin. The Ultradons will definitely be fixed so I don’t think anyone should expect them to be permanent

The tamable Harrower is right at the very start of the Voidstorm, so it is seen very quickly. The Ultradon is a quest objective, so it also would be found quickly. There is a fair chance that anything that isn't intended to be tamable or would cause problems if they remain tamable won't stay tamable to Live. I do agree that both creatures are seen being used by NPCs in Voidstorm and so they could be tamable. Like Worg said, Lesser Dragonkin could be a fit for Harrowers. Maybe Bats, but that would be pushing it. A Gargoyle family would be best, which would including the Flayers from WW. Ultradons don't really fit into anything due to how unique they are, so they would have to have their own family.
