Demon Hounds (also known as Darkhounds, Blighthounds, Plaguehounds, and Magehunters) are newly tameable in the latest Cataclysm Beta patch. They are in the Dog family, and previously tameable models (the Vargul Blighthounds specifically) have also been moved to the Dog family.



Thanks to Albain, Moonlost, and Wain for helping collect the info!

YES!!!!!!!!! Will the red ones become dogs too?

Just went to check on that, yes the Vargul Blighthounds are now in the Dog family, not Wolf.

Well, I had always sort of played that my Cinders had a personality that was a cross between a Malinois and an AmStaff, so I guess it'll suit for him to be a dog come Cataclysm.

*Ahem*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
*Coughs* Where was I? Oh, right.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

yes! finally its tameable!

Darn it, I didn't get to northrend yet to check those ones! I'm still in Hinterlands! ;O;

*drool*

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I've always wanted the Blue ones, but settled for the only tameable skin we have right now..


SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

I normally just sit in the background, reading all that is said appreciatively but not really contributing anything, but in this case I just gotta say....

Yessssssssssssssssssssss.

Nice find veph!
Interesting to see them moved to the dog family. Not that I disagree with the move, I much prefer these badass mana hounds over the mastiffs. Fleshes out the family well I think.

I think the Dog family suits them really well, moreso than Wolf. And I agree, it fleshes out the family. ^^

Yus! <3 Awesome sauce! Thank you so much Veph!

EEEEEEEEE! And someone found GREEN ONES too!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE! Grats to the dog owners! I dunno if I'll get to tame one, but I'm so happy for those who'll have the space to do it!

Gah, I can't stress how pretty these things are! I have to say my blue hound definitely tops Skoll in terms of awesome blueness.

And I thought of the most fitting name. *snerk* See first post for another picture. xD

oooooh.... nice.

ROFL!

Yes! I Wanted a "Dog" but I'm not really a huge fan of the Mastiff Models (Though My black and White boxer is a very similar look IRL). This means I'll keep my Vargul BH, and still get a dog! =D
