- I'll call him "Fluffy".
Tame Beast allows the Hunter to train the beasts of Azeroth and make it their life-long companions. The ability is essential for hunters to learn new abilities for their pets that which cannot be trained from pet trainers.
It is rewarded from the quest Taming the Beast, depending on race and faction.
Tips and tactics
Taming a beast can be made easier with some preparation. Some of the beasts you encounter have special attacks which will cause your attempt to tame them to fail.
- Put down a Freezing Trap between you and your target. This will add up to 20 seconds of uninterrupted time for taming.
- Activate Aspect of the Monkey to take fewer hits from the beast while you channel.
- Have a mage friend sheep the beast and you can then tame it.
- Have a druid friend Hibernate it.
Notes
- You cannot have another pet active if you want to tame a new one. Stable any pet you have active before attempting to tame a new one.
- Interruptions will fail the attempt. This includes stuns, knock downs, and silence, but does not include the daze effect.
- You can only tame beasts your level and lower.
- Some beasts cannot be tamed. Only creatures in the bat, bear, boar, carrion bird, cat, crocolisk, dragonhawk, gorilla, hyena, moth (New in WOTLK), nether ray, owl/bird of prey (New family including Owls in WOTLK), raptor, ravager, scorpid, serpent, spider, spore bat, tallstrider, turtle, warp stalker, wind serpent, and wolf families can be tamed. Even then, some beasts belonging to these families cannot be tamed. To ensure the beast you want to tame is tamable, you may want to cast Beast Lore on it for more information.
- As of Wrath of the Lich King, Beast Mastery specced Hunters are able to tame Exotic Pets via their 51-point talent. These include (as of the latest Beta patch) Chimaera, Devilsaur, Rhino, Silithid and Worm family beasts.
