As of right now, they are still untamable.

See, we need more spectral effects like this. First that spider, now this serpent. It's an absolute shame that it's cunning, but I'm sticking to Animal Companion; that snake is gonna be at my side, assuming it's easy to grab and thousands of other players aren't fighting the same one as me.

Should be easy enough. Dambala summons 4-5 of them at a time. The only issue will be that you can only get this if you choose the Night Fae as your covenant and progress a bit into their storyline, otherwise there is no way to even see Dambala.

Oh. Well, I haven't decided on what covenant I wanted to go, but if it's necessary to get this snake, it's worth it. Though, I hope players of other covenants can see it. It'd be a shame if it was locked to players of that covenant only.

They've made it clear they want cosmetic stuff locked to covenants.

Perhaps this snake is just the Night Fae one, and there's a hidden pet locked behind each covenant.

Is the quest a world quest? Or a main storyline quest that you can't miss?

It is a main storyline that you can’t miss. That is why it is Night Fae only. Unless you are Night Fae, there is no way to access it.

I heard you can switch covenants now can't you? Unless that's just being made up on the forums

You can, but you still have to earn Renown with the faction you swap to, and it becomes harder to switch back to covenants that you left.

Regarding the fact it's a Night Fae quest, is it done in a non-phased area? Or is it done in a location you literally cannot reach without being Night Fae? I fully understood that it requires Night Fae players to spawn them, but the mystery is if non-Night Fae players can see and obtain it. You never know until it's verified!

It is in an area that anyone can get you, but the mobs only spawn when you’re on the quests for that area. Once you turn in the quest, you phase out and cannot see them anymore.

Okay, so other folks theoretically can see the beast, so long as someone can spawn them. Good to know.

I find that quite interesting, this item allows invisible opponents to be seen, they then have a red border around them as you can see on the spider, but as soon as you move it is over, maybe still important for Hunter, who knows

no spider

The light yellow pig appearance, which was previously unavailable, is now an extra look for the Stray Truffle-Hunters in Drustvar on the Beta.

It's only subtly different to the white, but it's nice.

And the striking RED alpaca look is finally in the game! It's on Alpaca Alphas in Vol'dun (which can also be brown).

Finally, a green toad, now my toad can finally be green to match Kermit the frog, and call it Kermit like the previous yellow one I had

Beautiful. So glad to see the green frog make it in, meaning we can tame all three BfA skins now. Way overdue if you ask me! :)
