But they should be. "Seal" is heinous, orca is runty weird. Otter would be excellent, they're deceptively vicious in real life, but also adorable, and it'd be great if aquatic form didn't break when you went above water. Otterform could waddle at RP walk speed but take off again when back in the water. Also, otters should also be hunter pets. Same reasons: vicious + adorable.

On topic:
Void wolf animation is fantastic. I'm not sure it fits as a mundane wolf, though. Blizzard could easily pull a thundermaw with it though.

Re: Void Wolf

Looks like only one specific one is going to be tameable: https://twitter.com/Muffinus/status/483826656319406080

Makes sense to me. It's way too cool to be a generic spawn pet (IMO).

The reason we can't check yet is that much of the old world hasn't been given the "stat squish" treatment like the players and WoD content has. So no one can get far enough into Blackwing Descent as the mobs there completely destroy you with their unchanged numbers. Hopefully soon there will be a patch to change that and I'm sure someone will be checking as soon as they're able. :)

I think I may have been the first hunter to tame Chimaeron :)

That is amazing. I've always loved Chimaeron's design since Cataclysm, and now I get to have him myself. How does he feel? Does he make a badass unique sound only certain bosses that you tame can make, when you command him to attack? How does he feel animation wise? Does he look too small?

Sounds are the same as a regular hydra as far as I can tell. Here are the animations in a quick gif: http://gfycat.com/VelvetyAmusedBarebirdbat

I just read the spoiler text, and will not spoil for others. But I *will* say: OH, *AWESOME*, BLIZZARD!

They may have just made me want to tame something I didn't think I'd want to tame. :D And I *really* hope they use that mechanic for others later. Or a similar 'difficult mechanic'.

I agree with that level of mechanic.. the uber kiting purple spider was a bit much.

This makes me sad. I wish everyone could have this available for a change.:(

Ah, I wouldn't have minded those ones staying tameable either, I just like that colour. :) Welp, guess I'm in for a camp now.
