How to Hunt Rare Beasts
- Tracking. Use a rare-mob addon and a map marker — many rares spawn at a single point.
- Level. You can tame a beast as a hunter no lower than its level; after taming it scales to yours.
- Preparation. The beast hits you for the 20-second channel — shed extra damage and have Tame Beast ready.
What's Actually Worth Taming
- For damage: Broken Tooth — objectively the best DPS pet.
- For style: Humar (black lion) and Rak'shiri (white cat) — striking models.
- For tanking: King Bangalash — a sturdy bear for solo play.

FAQ
Are rare pets worth chasing?
Yes, if you want a unique look or a specific attack speed. Broken Tooth is objectively the best DPS pet; the others are mostly valued for their rare model and prestige.
How do I find a rare beast?
Each rare mob has its own spawn point and a long respawn timer. A rare-tracking addon and knowing the patrol route help a lot.
Will a rare pet disappear after taming?
No. Once tamed it's an ordinary pet of yours: keep its happiness and loyalty up and it stays with you as long as you like.
