The '''hunter's pet''' is their constant companion as they travel through [[Azeroth]] and [[Outland]]. When fighting solo or in small groups, a hunter's pet acts as a [[tank]] allowing the hunter to maintain the range hunters require to do their best in battle. When not tanking, pets can be used to do damage in addition to the hunter's shots and stings.

'''Meven Korgal''' is a messenger of the [[Scarlet Crusade]] found in a camp of [[Scarlet Convert]]s and [[Scarlet Initiate]]s southeast of [[Deathknell]] in [[Tirisfal Glades]]. [[Executor Arren]] wants the documents he carries.
   
  +
==Attacks and abilities==
−
==Taming==
 
  +
*'''[[Melee|Basic Melee]]''': 4-7 damage (before subtracting armor)
−
To obtain a pet, the hunter must use his [[Tame Beast]] skill on a valid [[beast]] family monster exactly their level or lower. Upon starting the taming process, the hunter's armor is decreased by 100% and they cannot perform any other actions, or else the taming fails. The taming process takes 20 seconds, which does not increase with every hit, but can be interrupted.
 
   
  +
==Quests==
−
'''Taming Tips:'''
 
  +
* [[Quest:The Red Messenger]] - from [[Executor Arren]] in [[Deathknell]]
−
* Hunter abilities such as [[Concussive Shot]], [[Wyvern Sting]], and [[Freezing Trap]] can slow or stop a beast, reducing hits to the hunter which allows for easier taming.
 
  +
::Objective: Kill '''Meven Korgal''', the messenger, at the Crusader camp, then return [[Scarlet Crusade Documents|any information]] you find to [[Executor Arren]].
−
** Try this: lay a trap, and wait for your cooldown. Then pull your target across the trap. Once it is iced, lay another one nearby, and back off even further. Then begin taming. Thanks to the new combat traps, your target should not even touch you!
 
−
** It's best to freeze some beasts, as a few of them have knockback abilities and will interrupt the taming process (forcing you to start over).
 
−
* Using [[Aspect of the Monkey]] can reduce hits during taming.
 
−
* A good way to tame a pet is to ask a [[mage]] for help. It's possible to tame a pet that is [[sheeped]]. This also works with the [[druid]] spell [[hibernate]].
 
−
* The [[Scare Beast]] ability can also be helpful in conjunction with traps and shots.
 
−
* Draenei can cast [[Gift of the Naaru]] on themselves just before beginning a tame. Don't wait until you need it as you can't cast it after the tame begins.
 
   
−
==Feeding==
+
==Drops==
  +
{{lootbox|Meven Korgal drops the following notable loot:|Scarlet Crusade Documents|Scarlet Armband}}
−
In order for your pet to maintain [[happiness]] and [[loyalty]] (a good [[mood]]), you must feed it.
 
   
  +
==Quotes==
−
Pets eat up to six different types of food: meat, bread, fish, fruit, fungus, and cheese. Some pets, like wolves, will only eat meat, but bears and boars can eat any of the six food types. It is easiest to feed pets that eat meat, bread, and fish because mobs often drop meats, fish can be fished, and bread can be [[conjured]] by a [[mage]] as pet food.
 
  +
*"The Scarlet Crusade shall not fail in its mission!"
−  
  +
*"These lands shall be cleansed!"
−
Feeding pets is very important. The happier a pet is, the more damage it deals. Also, the happier it stays, the more loyalty ranks it gains, and so it gains the ability to learn more skills. If you neglect to feed a pet for too long, the pet may run away!
 
  +
*"These undead atrocities will be destroyed!"
−  
−
See [[Pet Feeding]] for more info.
 
−  
−
== Fighting alongside your pet ==
 
−
Generally, one will send the pet in from a distance and allow it to get [[aggro]] on the mob before the hunter starts shooting. It is possible to have the pet fight one mob while the hunter attacks another;[Note: the hunter will not gain loot or experience from a mob the pet kills solo]. This is a deliberate decision by Blizzard, not a bug. If you intend on pulling mutiple mobs and having your pet kill one or more of them while you focus on others then it is best to try to get at least one shot or hit on each of the mobs then allow your pet to do his/her work on them.
 
−  
−
You can set your pet on aggressive and have it auto-attack. This is generally not a good idea. An aggressive pet will typically draw in additional mobs that you and your party are unprepared to handle. Failing to control your pet is a sure route to causing a wipe in an instance. The aggressive setting have somewhat more useful results in a battleground, but optimal use of a pet would be a coordinated attack with the hunter, not off on its own.
 
−  
−
==Tamable Beasts==
 
−
There are 23 families of pets for hunters to tame, with 5 of them exclusive to the [[Burning Crusade|expansion]]. Each family has its own skills, [[Food|diet]], and statistics.

−
==Pet diets==
 
−
Meat is the easiest food type to obtain. Pets that will only eat meat are not difficult to feed. Fish is not much trouble either, if you are willing to fish; you can hunt coastal humanoids, like [[murloc]]s, as well. Pets that will eat neither of these take a little more effort and planning. Dumpster pets, boars and bears, that eat just about anything, are really nice from an inventory management standpoint. You can toss the odd food drops at them.
 
−  
−
==Caster stats==
 
−
Beasts that have a mana bar in the wild have ''dramatically'' reduced stats once tamed. For a graph showing the differences between normal and "caster" pets, click [http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/articles/stats_casters.shtml here] to go to the Petopia article on caster pets, and click on the spreadsheet link. All pet families that have caster stat beasts have some non-caster members, but some only at high levels.
 
−  
−
==Pet skills==
 
−
{{main|Pet abilities}}
 
−
Pet skills come in two types—passive enhancement skills, taught by Pet Trainers in various cities and camps, and active skills, taught from various rare beasts across the land. Passive skills change the pet's stats and do not require resources. Active skills require [[Focus (Pet)|focus]]—a constantly-recharging point pool that works exactly like a [[Rogue]] Energy bar. Every Pet has 100 focus. Pets are limited to training in only four active skills. Some have only four or less to choose from, but some have five or six, and you have to decide what not to train. Pets are not limited to how many different passive skills they can be trained in.
 
−  
−
Beginning with Patch 1.7, Blizzard has started introducing special active pet skills. Each skill can only be used by one type of pet (although [[gore]] is used by both [[boar]]s and [[ravager]]s) and has a specific benefit that is quite useful, usually in PvE. This increases the diversity among hunters pets and usually promotes hunters possessing several pets at the same time. It is expected that with time Blizzard will continue to add special skills to other beasts' types, as well.
 
−  
−
==Training your pet==
 
−
By using the "[[Beast Training]]" ability, pets can be taught a variety of [[Pet Abilities]]. (The Beast Training ability is found under the General tab in the spellbook, not the Beast Mastery tab as one might expect.) The number of points available to spend on pet abilities is a function of the pet's level (1-70) and its loyalty level.
 
−  
−
Most of these skills, such as [[Cower (pet)|Cower]] and [[Claw (pet)|Claw]], the hunter must first learn from other beasts tamed in the wild before they can be taught to a pet. This is done by [[Hunter Abilities|taming]] a beast with the ability you want to learn and then repeatedly having your new pet use that ability near you while it is fully fed and happy. Some talents like [[Dash (pet)|Dash]] can be used and learned outside of combat, but most will require you to send the pet into combat. The hunter will be notified when he has learned the skill, usually just a few short battles. After you have learned the pet skill(s) you want from the new pet, you can choose to abandon the new pet if you do not want to keep it. Each pet varies in the skills, and their ranks, many times a hunter will usually need to tame several pets during his career. As a hunter's level increases, he can tame stronger pets which initially have these skills and can therefore teach the hunter higher ranks of the same skills.
 
−  
−
Once a hunter has learned a skill from a pet, he can teach any of his eligible pets the same skill. (See the "List of pet skills table" in the [[Pet Abilities]] article, "Trainable by" column).
 
−  
−
In addition, [[Growl]], as well as several enhancing abilities that were added in patch 1.8 and patch 1.9, can be learned from Pet Trainers in the cities.
 
−  
−
Pets below your level gain experience by fighting alongside you (as long as the hunter receives experience from the kill). When the pet reaches the hunter's level, it stops gaining experience until the hunter levels up. Pets gain approximately the same experience from kills as an unrested character of the same level, and require a much lower amount of experience to level as a character of the same level.
 
−  
−
The pet's available training points at any given time is its (Loyalty level-1) multiplied by its base level. Pets that already have skills when you tame them start with negative training points, reflecting their low initial loyalty and their pre-spent 'training'. By visiting a Pet Trainer, a hunter can remove his pet's current training by paying an ever-increasing fee; a process similar to unlearning your talents in your class trainer. All pet skills other than growl require training points to learn. All ranks of growl are free to learn (but still have level requirements, and growl takes an active pet skill slot).
 
−  
−
Also like talents, a pet will not have nearly enough training points to learn every skill available to it.
 
−  
−

−  
−
===In Wrath of the Lich King===
 
−
The training system is being completely redesigned to use talent points rather than training points. <ref>http://www.worldofraids.com/news/169.html</ref>
 
−  
−
See: [[Pet talents]]
 
−  
−
==Pet scaling==
 
−
Pets receive attribute bonuses depending on their master's stats. The amount is 15%:
 
−
* 1 [[attack power|ranged attack power]] gives the pet 0.22 AP and 0.1287 spell damage
 
−
* 1 [[stamina]] gives 0.3 stamina
 
−
* 1 resistance gives 0.4 resistance
 
−
* 1 [[armor]] gives 0.35 armor
 
−  
−
==Appearance==
 
−
As WoW is an RPG, you may find that you want a pet that looks visually appealing to you, be that 'looks good' or 'looks menacing'. Be aware that there are a couple of other appearance factors.
 
−  
−
===Phobias and PvP===
 
−
There are ways of messing with the player controlling the character you are PvPing, and playing on phobias is one of them. [[Spider]]s are a so-so pet family, but their appearance and realistic scuttling animation can be quite intimidating to an arachnophobic player. The [[scorpid]]s are a good phobia candidate. Neither [[serpent]]s nor [[wind serpent]]s look realistic enough to elicit fear.
 
−  
−
===Size===
 
−
The pet's size is directly related to the level of the pet. Many beasts will dramatically shrink right before your eyes the moment they are tamed. They will enlarge as they level.
 
−  
−
===Flying pets===
 
−
Flying pets maintain a more or less fixed distance above the ground, essentially hovering rather than flying. Flying pets' models, particularly the wings, interfere with mouse clicking, blocking access to select what is beyond them. This can work both for you and against you, but you will probably find it at least a little annoying. Note that as the pet levels, it gets bigger, and the wingspan gets larger, making the effect greater.
 
−  
−
===Low-slung pets===
 
−
Low slung pets, like [[crab]]s and [[scorpid]]s can fit into places taller pets cannot go. This is not a highly significant feature, but it does occasionally come up.
 
−  
−
===Bragging rights===
 
−
Face it, this is important. If you want a prestige pet the obvious choices are:
 
−  
−
* unique skin, like [[Mazzranache|the pink flamingo]].
 
−  
−
* hard to get pets, like a level 19 [[Horde]] character with a [[ravager]] or a level 19 [[Alliance]] character with a [[dragonhawk]].
 
−  
−
* anything that can no longer be tamed - [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] grandfathers current owners. You have to either luck out and fall into this, or have an eye for a problematic pet which will become untamable. [[Death Ravager]] is an example. [[Grimtotem Spirit Guide]] is another.
 
−  
−
===Matching pets===
 
−
You can match some hunter pets and [[small pet]]s, or even [[mount]]s, if theme is your thing.
 
−  
−
== Non-Tamable Beasts ==
 
−
Many types of beasts in the wild cannot be tamed as a hunter pet. These are:

Not all beasts within the tamable families are tamable. Normal rank and file beasts usually are, individually named beasts may or may not be, and any beast that is notably odd is probably not tamable.
 
−  
−
Beast size [[critter]]s, like cows and deer, are never tamable.
