Sorry I'm new at this stuff. The original one and only black lion model in classic, Humar The Pridelord, now has a much easier to acquire version found in a quest (for both factions) in Riverglades.
The quest: https://www.wowhead.com/forever/quest=9 ... s#comments
The quest grants a whistle which summons him. You can keep the quest and whistle, but even if you drop the quest (not complete it) the quest giver is nearby and can be re-taken to summon the cat again for taming.
Info I do have:
ID: 165189 (I don't know if this is correct, I used it on my tamed version not the original)
Name: Ombassa (Elite)
Level: 41
Comes with: Dash 2, Faster Attack 2 (25%)
Attack speed: 1.6 (again, used on my tamed version)
I am quite happy as taming Humar is basically impossible right now (not sure what you'd have to do, some kind of layer phasing shenanigans?) with the sheer quantity of players present.
Thanks for confirming Ombassa! The ID for Ombassa is 263315. The ID that you showed is one that typically shows up on a Hunter pet.
As for Humar, it is partially due to there being a lot of players and the fact that they added gear set drops from Humar, so now people are more likely to farm it.
I just wanted to say, thanks for all your reports so far! I'm sorry I haven't replied to each individually but I was swamped with other work. They are appreciated, however! and I'll get to adding them soon.
If you could please check it out and let me know if I added any wrong info. From Wowhead info, it looks like it's not present until spawned by a player with the quest, but (I'm assuming) someone else with the quest can spawn it for you to tame if you can't any longer?
There is a new variant of Tallstrider in Moonglade called Moonstrider. I don't have the details, because I left already and am pretty far, but they range from lvl 56 - 60. The regular striders were 56s and were tamable, but never checked their skills.
There is at least one Giant Moonstrider which is lvl 60 and has both max lvl bite (8) and max level dust cloud (5). I came here to post because I realized that there were no purple tallstriders on the website
