RAREST Obtainable Hunter Pets | Unique Pet Guide Ep. 2 | World of Warcraft BFA & Shadowlands 

short notice: for Ankha and Magria you need to do some quests in Hyjal until you unlock the Sanctuary of Malorne for the daily quests, otherwise you are in a different phase and might not see both of them. learned it the hard way when I saw one of the on my druid (who has completed the hyjal questline) and flew there with my hunter to see nothing );

Love these lists!!! I have been hunting some Spirit Beasts that I dumped due to lack of room at the time. I regretted it and have been hunting for a few years now! Just got Gondria this morning!!! Now on to Arcturis!

Enjoying your content a lot. Starting shadowlands in a week when my new laptop gets here. Played from vanilla up till Cata and havent touched it in damn near a decade. Plan on going MM and your vids are helpful, thank you!

I happened to get extremely lucky with Karoma on my hunter alt, formerly my main in Legion, which is when I tamed the beauty. I found him while I was in the area for Archeaology digging. This was a great video, and it helped me realize how lucky I was to straight up find him without trying.

Great vid! I just watched your first video and this gets recommended, sweet

I have spent many hours years ago, farming a lot of these pets. It was always one of my favorite things about wow.

Thank you very much for your video. I just tamed Hexapos! Timing is really crucial here, if you can reach a just appearing mysterious track you need to flare, freeze trap and tame in quick succession.

Another Fel Raven to tame is the boss in Skyreach, he's orange reddish.... Good thing about having one of these is they give pathfinder (15% increase movement), which is great while in Shadowlands 😁 Nice to see Hexapos on here, had that one a long time ago on a different account.. Going to grab it again..

Here is the story about the original 'Karoma' wolves. Back in burning crusade (patch 2.3 I think is when these were added), this model was spawned by grimtotem mobs in the north western corner of Dustwallow marsh. These were named "Grimtotem Spirit Guide." They were mistakenly flagged as tameable, however they were only active for a verrrry short time. So you needed lots of help in order to tame them. You needed: A leatherworker with haste drums, A priest for mind control, and a shaman for bloodlust. You also needed a gem, the "Mystical Skyfire Diamond." The lowest level item you could get with a socket was a level 68 mail helm better suited for shamans. As alliance, you could obtain it from Allerian Stronghold through the use of the crystals(?) you got by controlling all the pvp towers in the bonewastes and the doing the dungeons within. You needed the priest to mind control a grimtotem shaman so the wolves can be summoned at will. With the gem, heroism, and drums, you could get your cast time of tame beast to about 10 seconds, the same time that the wovles are active. You would have to swap hunter aspects in order to trigger the gem proc, and then activate *everthing* to get the timing perfect. There was no room for error. No matter what, the tame would end just as the wolf 'dies' or de-spawns (it would make the death animation and be essentially dead). BUT, if you cast revive pet and the tame was successful, it would revive and be at your side at level 30! (Back in the day, you had to actually level your pet, and could only do so by killing mobs that would give YOU exp. I killed alot of bugs in zangarmarsh grinding those levels.) I still have it to this day, the best pet out there. For a long time, their animations were broken, so they would speed walk towards your enemy rather than run. Initially, a blue post said that they would not remove them (I have a screenshot of it somewhere, when blizz moved their forums the post was eaten). But then shortly after, the decision was reversed and a hotfix removed the ability to tame them by replacing them with a completely different mob. Hunters who got them could keep them, but people were -pissed-. I am still kinda pissed, there is no challenge tame that was as hard or exciting as getting the Grimtotem Spirit Guide back in BC. The reasoning was that "it hurt the aesthetic and feel of hunters". But then LOL in Wrath they added spirit beasts. Took them until cata to add karoma. I'm glad people can tame the model, but I find ferocity more useful. If you hunt around you can find stuff about it, such as a few articles about it and the wowhead page for "Grimtotem Spirit Guide". I cant seem to find a good legit video talking about this, maybe I should make one, lmao.

Odd fact, my Father was the first Alliance player to tame the white lion. My uncle helped him out with it and they did it during the beta, and then the same thing in the Alpha, and when the game came out they leveled super quick (because they knew the quests) and my father on day 1 in a couple hours of playing Tamed the White lion and named it Pride, because a group of lions is known as a pride, he never dismissed Pride (unless he had to or to tame something else) and Pride was his number one go to pet from Classic all the way to WoD when my father canceled his sub.

King Krush *does* have special requirements to tame him. He has a fear on a short CD that will interrupt your tame ability, almost every time you attempt to tame him. I don't know if the trick still applies today, but back when the expansion was current you needed a priest and a haste pot in order to tame him. Otherwise he would just keep interrupting your tame over and over again. Not to mention he is a huge mob so he doesn't go unnoticed for very long. Either he'll be tamed or killed in a short period of time.

I am just correcting/commenting on the important mistakes here: 1. Spirt Beasts do not have Spirit Shock any longer in SL, because all Hunters get Tranquilising Shot back. SB now have a pretty lackluster self purge ability. Actually, all pet families with a similar ability, Waterstriders, Bats, etc will lose it. 2. The Hyjal cats only appear once you reach a certain deep point in the Cataclysm Mt. Hyjal questline. You can NOT just fly over and hope to tame them. 3. Hexapos: Soothing Water see point 1. Also, BM in SL gets Hunter's Mark back. As soon as you see him just slap an HM on it it will purge the invis. This is valid for all Pandaria tracking rare pets. And also for the Legion mechanical dog tames. If you play a hunter or any class and use WoWhead you might want to read over the change reports for your class there now and then. Less ugly surprises.

i don't know if it's mentioned elsewhere in the comments but, karoma shares the same model as grimtotem spirit guide. guide was tameable for a very short period of time and it was a REAL pain in the ass to tame it ( you needed bloodlust, troll haste buff and another haste buff which came from a gem that procs randomly, so imagine lining all up) but unlike karoma, it is not a spirit beast and shares the basic abilities of a regular wolf. i proudly own one by the way, Tingoz - Emeriss EU if you are interested. keep up the good work.

There's a ghost (or translucent, how ever you'd prefer to look at it) armoured boar that you can only get in RFK. I only mention it becasue A] you can only tame it in RFK, and B] Wilson (my one) is one of my longest owned and favourite pets I've tamed.

yess!! episode 2!!!

important note for hexpos when he walked back and forth along the root, so if you reach the end he will just turn back around, another quaility of life thing is hunter mark once you get him out of stealth

SEE DESCRIPTION FOR CORRECTIONS!!!! BTW, I also do transmog reviews! --> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j4CorKjey_c.html

recently tamed gondria and skoll... thats enough spirit taming for abit lol around 6hours each waiting for them to spawn lol

Easiest way to tame Hexapos.... when you fire a flare in front of his tracks to uncover him, lay a freeze trap on em... might take 2 tries while taming but you'll get him while he's in the trap.... I just tamed him that way.

Thanks for the vid bro. I like it

Good vid, rock the tames in there though man or at least the scouting spots....want that wolf now though ty

I remember when Broken Tooth was the go to... Vanilla wow good times.

Hexapos took me two days and for some reason I would only see his tracks to the south. And half the time the tracks were buried in the hill so it made it even more annoying even with ground clutter at the lowest setting g. But it ended up being the most fun/frustrating to get. And from what Ive seen, it’s the only one of its type that is white.

Gib the Banana hoarder, he use to have an ability where he threw literal shit at the enemy to blind them... ahh the good old days.

Son of the Beast The only remaining core hound to use the old orange-red model.

Fel Raven is super easy inside the raid - go up to the boss location and they are lying on the floor - just tame and go. Gondria I have 2 copies (Gondria and Gondriatoo - thanks to the GM who helped me name change the second one). Spirit Strike was first removed about 10 years ago, when it was a PvE taunt that let players use Gondria for tanking despite being ferocity, when growl was not as tanky as it is today and it was easy to pull off ones pet. Must have been returned and then removed again (My two are Gondria and Gondriatoo thx to a GM that helped me rename the second one. But tamed 12-14 years apart from each other). Spawn timer shorter than for Arcturis and less heavily camped. But for anyone who can afford to - you can always roll your toon on a low pop server, go easily gather all the rare pets you want, then switch servers. Echayakee - was the perfect example why do with 2 accounts. 1 to play horde and summon and the other to tame on alliance. Or faction swap or buy a summon from a Horde player. Sia-Rotam used to be a real pain. Sounds easier now. If you like Emerald Dream but want the spirit beast you can go for Ban'thalos in Mt Hyjal. It has a particular tame method, involving taunting while flying and directly above a particular dead tree - so you taunt, auto-dismount and land on the very top of the tree and them tame.......hopefully. The alternatives are less fun. Most disturbing rumor - I have heard that on some low pop servers some rare pets have been REMOVED FROM THE GAME. One example being Skarr in Molten Front. I haven't seen that in 8-10 years on Thorium Brotherhood. I've not tried other servers, as I don't have hunters leveled high enough elsewhere. But if Blizz decides to remove rares from low pop servers, to keep them hard to tame, it's somewhat contrary to the way that Blizz wants almost everything in the game to be easier :(

Thanks.. we my and got the white lion on first go

you need to do quests to be able to see the regrowth also magria and ankha do spawn sometimes together - Banthlos spawns either before they do - you don't have to sit on a tree to get the owl you can disengage on your fall down and still tame her

I was able to get pretty much all the rate ones right before expansion launch , everyone was out in northrend messing with the boss grind . Got loque, skoll , Atticus the bear , gondria , king crush popped ice the first time for me ever and I accident killed him lol

The green owl can also be gotten from noethrend on a quest.

awesome video

I'm surprised I haven't seen the Colossal Water Cobra yet! It's the same thing as Echeyakee. Only Horde players can access him from a side quest, The Source of the Problem, in Vol'dun. He's the only silver-colored snake in the game! If you don't tame him then... you can't get him. Ya lost your chance. I got him on my Alliance Hunter after I asked my friend to do the quest just so I can tame him. So get him while you can! He's a really cool lookin' snake :D

I am amazed by how many people forget that 'Freezing Trap' exists when taming...

gondria shares timers with all the spirit beasts in northrend apparently, so it's very difficult to know which one will pop and when. was lucky enough to find it. the maned lion in twilight highlands is more unique than the white lion, though i have both.

Shy-Rotam should be on this list

Hello mate are you coming back back for dragon flight awsome guides man

well, nice video but for me, hunting pets like crazy and play all those years, no surprise :P

Just subscribed

i have ankha and magria they are my main pets

I've been using Echeeyaki for like 15 years...lol

First kul' tyran now hexapose i can not anymore

How is Humar the Black Lion not on the list!! I remember camping 7 days for him back in TBC #goodtimes

I tamed the emerald spirit bird in Dragonblight.

Have you forgotten the rare quest for tiger with rotating collar...Come see my stable you have a video sitting there ,various out of game pets...

Your the type of person I like raiding with.

Best pet I ever had was an oil stained wolf until Blizzard stole him from me. Saddest day I ever had in wow when he disappeared from my inventory

Just a little hint for a REAL RARE Pet for Hunters... jeah, it isn't obtainable anymore, but i think it was back in WotLK when you could tame a pet, which had the modell of a worgen from this time ^^ so the worgen model BEFORE Cata brought us our fury friends as playable Race... you had to do a view tricks to get it... i think it was a wolf in First form but if you tamed him with the correct timing or some other tricks (it's long ago so i don't recognize it well, sorry ^^) you could tame him so he got his humonoid worgen form... and this was the only time you could tame a humonoid as a pet ^^ If i remember correctly it was only about a few weeks when you could do this before blizzard fixed it... but in my recognizion the Hunters that tamed this "Pet" were allowed to keep it... but i'm not 100% sure... But I think it should get at least an honorable mention in such "Rarest Hunter Pets" Videos ;) Maybe for Episode 3 ^^ Edit: The Pet was Called "Garwal" and was located in the howling Fjord via a Quest, if you want to research for it

Haha pitch a tent.

Hi, I hope you read this. Im a New player. Im trying to find a RU-vid video about beast master pets if you are completely New to wow. Because you are using terminologie. I mean how do I start from scratch and which pet do I sart with?

You point to the camera a lot lol

I think you forgot to mention for Magria and Ankha that you have to have Molten Front unlocked to see them .

I got that transparent ray from the weird instance that you can only get during a single quest Also got the ghost jormungar I dont really care about my spirit beasts kinda happy to hang em up

Can I as a undead hunter tame a Skeleton hound from Hellheim or Ragefire in the prepatch?

I've never seen gib. It's like the spawn is broken.

I have Karoma !

How can I start?

Karoma added in Cataclysm bro

No mention of Ghost Saber?!

get some sleep dude XD and good Vid btw

Gib isn't that popular I think. I've never had to really spawn camp him. Just fly there and tame, at least on my server.

dont need to take off armor for Regrowth rares anymore. Deth'Tilac is no longer a kite fest either with ilvl 80+

still able to tame gara at patch 9.2?

Well, none of these are alpacas so i don't care ;)

How dare you not include Humar the Pridelord! The only black male lion!

I mean in both videos I saw a lot of really cool pets but unique? Not really. A lot of em, the spirit beasts especially you can see a ton of them in SW at any one time. My idea of unique are pets that you don't see. My ghost worm from Storm Peaks comes to mind. I have yet come across another hunter with it.

I didnt see arcturis :0

Oh plz everyone knows real hunters go tame spectral raptor for alliance and spectral griffin for horde 💪🏻

should be criminal not to include Loque'Nahak in this list.
