Patch 9.1 Pet News!

Patch 9.1: Chains of Domination introduces us to the shattered realm of Korthia and all the strange creatures that inhabit it.

Two new models, Shardhides and Aquilons, are available to tame. Just as exciting is the fact that many previously-unused older looks have been added to existing tameable creatures. Sadly, none of the other new models are so far tameable, but we can hope they're added later in the patch.

Existing families with new models in Patch 9.1

Family: Mechanicals

Requires Mechanical Taming.Required Skill: Mechanical Taming
Gnome, Goblin and Mechagnome hunters automatically know how to tame Mechanicals. Hunters of other races must acquire the skill from a Mecha-Bond Imprint Matrix, crafted by Engineers who have at least 1 skill point in Legion Engineering.

Model: Aquilons

Flying constructs of the Kyrian of Bastion.

Flying counterparts to the phalynx, these aquilons would make great mechanical pets.

Family: Raptors

Model: Saddled Skeletal Raptors

Requires Undead Taming.Undead Taming
Forsaken hunters automatically know how to tame undead creatures. Hunters of other races must learn the skill from a Simple Tome of Bone-Binding which is a rare drop from miscellaneous Elite NPCs throughout Maldraxxus and its associated dungeons: Plaguefall and the Theater of Pain.

Family: Scorpids

Model: Crystal Scorpions

Unfortunately, this Legion model currently has a display bug: the stinger and some of other additional parts disappear after taming. This is due to the way those parts were implemented on the model, but hopefully they can be fixed.
