Guild Wars 2 Bestiary - Updated from BWE2
Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:08 am
This is stuff I found last BWE. Here's the info & pet list if anyone wants; feel free to add to it. Still working on a GW2 pet list/info site!
* How Taming Works
* List & Images
* Tameable Locations
How Taming Works:
You can run up to any Juvenile (the name will be prefaced by the word Juvenile) version of a beast, and F to Charm it. It is then "unlocked."
You have four pet slots--two for Land pets, two for Aquatic (all of which can be filled by their respective + Amphibious pets) which you can slot with any unlocked pet, and you can switch them around whenever you are out of combat. You can also swap between your Active (slotted) pets at any time, although there's a short cooldown if your swapped-out pet was injured. That means once you "tame" a Wolf, you don't need to worry about ever finding another Wolf.
Your pet can be Downed (it won't fight but rather will limp & follow you about) but you can revive it, and you can heal it, and it will revive with you if you res at a Waypoint. You can choose from 3 pets (race-specific) at start, and you can rename your pets, although some of mine seem to "forget" their names when cycled through the "stables" and re-slotted/summoned (they can be renamed again, fear not!). Likewise, once you "unlock" a pet, you can't tame another one of it--it's unlocked, and that's that.
Each unlockable pet has different abilities--some are shared in a family, and some are unique to that pet (so a Polar and Brown bear will each have something unique, and share something).
As far as I can tell, there is NO way to permanantly lose a pet.

Tameable Juvenile Beast Locations:
Norn Region
Alpine Wolf: wolf lodge/shrine upper level (right side if you’re facing inward) in Hoelbrak
Ice Drake: near the Broodmother’s den in Wayfarer Hills; southeast of Taigan Hills @ river mouth; road’s end on the southern shore of Valslake (Snowden)

Map - http://i.imgur.com/dmTM1.png ; Or, enter the cave west of the Halvaunt Waypoint, and break down the doors just inside & to the right--there are mobs here, including a Veteran, as well as two Juv. Arctodus inside the doors, Wayfarer Foothills
Polar Bear: Inside Hoelbrak, west of the Snow Leopard lodge on Lake Mourn.

Lashtail Devourer: Just to the right of the words “Arcovian Foothills” on the Ascalon map; also between Rancher’s Wash & Reaper’s Corridor in Diessa Plateau; Southwest corner of Ruins of Rin, Black Citadel
Juvenile Warthog: Just beneath the “The Blasted Moors” text on the Diessa Plateau map; also east of Nemus Grove, in the woods
River Drake: Northeastern Breachwater Lake: swim east underwater, near the bridge, into the seaweed until you enter a cave, and in the rear left there is one Juvenile on land, Diessa Plateau
Human Region
Eagle: Gap Waypoint (sat on ground nearby), Kessex Hills; Mountains north of the "Overlook Caverns" text in Gendarren Hills, flying around
River Drake: Kessex Hills, river west of Delanian Foothills; around the island in Lake Bounty, Gendarren Fields

Shark: Deep in Viathan Lake, about halfway between the V and the heart on the map (surrounded by many hostile Kraites)
Brown Bear: Cereboth Waypoint, Kessex Hills (Cereboth Canyon)

Warthog: Vigilant Hills, Gendarren Fields
Forest Spider: West of the "Beetletun Farms" text, southeast of the Hunting Lodge/west of the pipelines, Queensdale
WvWvW Regions
(These are made up of "The Eternal Battlegrounds" along with three idential Borderlands zones; pets will be marked with TEB or Borderlands. Note that these Juveniles are NOT all friendly; some are white- or red-named, so keep your eyes out and your triggerfinger calm!)
Salamander Drake: Near the "Refuge" text of Refuge Hill in the southeast *corner* (south of the water, even) of TEB
Wolf (Brown): Just east of Bravost Escarpment, in the woods (I only saw *one*)

Pet Bugs: Names don’t “stick” when pets are cycled from Active & back, although sometimes a pet taking the place of a previous one will take its name. The lower jaws of the Black Bears have been FIXED (YAY!), although the cats' heads still move oddly while running & White Moa tongues still protrude from the side of the beak.

Supposedly they're some type of bear that lives deep underground--they're in the bear family & have bear abilities mixed with poison stuffs. Interesting o.O
