Hydra tames? (not sure if this goes here)

[Hisae]

Just like the subject asks. Are hydras tamable yet? I got really interested after reading everyone's comments!

Sadly, not yet.

I logged in last night and headed to Zangarmarsh to get my orange hydra. I was sorely disappointed to see they are not yet able to be tamed. I thought I read it would happen in 4.1 but I guess it got pushed out. Now I'm wondering if it was all just a dream

i was hoping for them to be tamable now with all the videos and comments bout it. went to scholarin basin to tame one, nope, not tamable....hmmm so i though to myself, maybe only certain ones are tamable. so went to zangarmarsh... nope not tamable either............ searched online for more info..... nothing new besides the "hydras tamable in patch 4.1" stuff but nothing confirming it after patch release.... would like to get tha hydra one from the oracle dailies in the basin lol.

i would like them to have a new "buff" besides the devilsaurs and wolfs. maybe defence buff? or element resist buff? since they prob gonna make then tenacity types like the crocoliks..... maybe they be tamable later on. and some new models. like a 4-headed one or emits a glowing aura.

There actually isn't, and was never, true confirmation that hydras were going to be tamable in 4.1.

Here's a quote from WOWInsider - Frostheim's column "Scattered Shots":

"Hydra pet family

One of the undocumented changes was the introduction of the hydra pet family. The hydra is a ferocity pet with the special ability Bellowing Roar, which provides the 5% crit buff. Sadly, to my current knowledge, there are no tamable hydras anywhere in the game.

The Wrath daily quest for the Oracles faction, A Cleansing Song, allowed you to briefly summon a ghost hydra (and a slime), and for a while both of those could be tamed -- and both were members of the crocolisk family.

Blizzard removed the ability to tame them but left them in the stables of hunters who had already tamed them. So those few hunters who had tamed a ghost hydra in that window of time now have a new family for their hydras.

We can only assume, however, that tamable hydras will be put in the game in the very near future."

PTR's closed right now.

That explains it quite nicely.
In short, there is a new hydra pet family, but there are presently no tamable hydras.
