Spirit of Shatrah

[Golden]

Could anyone check if the Spirit of Shatrah is tameable on the Beta? She's a ghostly, furry grey spider spawned at the Temple of the Moon in Darnassus during Satrah's Sacrifice. Currently she's not even a beast, but she CAN be Beast Lored. You can get the prequest from Priestess A'moora in Temple of the Moon to find and kill Satrah. After finishing that, you will then be asked to place the spinneret you looted in the previous quest into the fountain below, which in turn makes the spirit spawn.

Far as I'm aware, she's not tameable, probably because technically, she's a humanoid as she wasn't born a spider.

But she's tameable as a regular spider. Hmmm...

[Lisaara]

I didn't say that made sense. XD Then again....when has blizzard made any sense with things lately?

[Kalliope]

Yeah, wasn't refuting your logic, just Blizzard's!

[Lisaara]

I know. XD Make up your mind blizzard! Though a ghost spider would be wicked....

Ghost worms are out there, why not spiders?

Spirit of Sathrah is "friendly" to Alliance NPC's. I don't know about horde, and I don't think Beast Lore states that it's tameable anyway.
Even if it was - it would only be tameable by the horde anyway (requiring the Alliance to complete it at the right time) - and for the horde to deal with the guards beating on them

Sathrah brings back memories... I remember taming it and thinking I was the only person with a brown coloured spider
"Those were the days..."

She can be targeted with Beast Lore, at least in Live, and on the PTR too.

I found this pretty interesting, so I looked around for some more information.
This is what I found.

From WoWhead. http://www.wowhead.com/npc=7411

Another hunter and I from Petopia (Congafury - Tarren Mill EU) did some experimenting, and in the end we found out that it is also friendly to hordes and cannot be tamed.

An interesting thing though, is the Spirit of Sathrah is the only creature in the game that DOES NOT have a classification that Beast Lore works on (even though it says cannot be tamed.) Which got us to think that the creature might be bugged and be tamable, unfortunately it was not and is friendly for the Horde too.

Thats just too bad
