Must be on the quest "Merry Mischief". WARNING! When you zone in, dismiss your pet and you will get a Pet control window for Crumbles (the cookie helper). You can then set Crumbles to passive. Otherwise, he will kill the frostfell reindeer too quickly for you to tame him. The reindeer is in the outside area when you first enter this special zone. If you make a mistake, you can delete the quest, zone out, and try again.

Perfect list :) I'm soooo linking to you hehe ;p

Nooo, you gave away the location of The Duck! Ah well, would have gotten out anyway, better here I suppose.

Green Armadillo
December 2, 2011 @ 9:38 pm

So the Armadillo is an offensive rodent? I'm not sure that's biologically accurate, but I suppose I'll take it.

Thanks for the guide, Feldon! :)

Yuan
December 2, 2011 @ 9:56 pm

Can you tame the camels in Sinking Sands?

Yuan
December 2, 2011 @ 9:58 pm

Oh sweet you can! Damn, I might have to get this expansion now.

Avianna
December 2, 2011 @ 10:43 pm

this should go on the side of your page along with dethdlr's adors. this is really good thanks for the hard work on this Feldon.

Ferk
December 2, 2011 @ 11:32 pm

Feldon, I believe that all the fae drakes in the area of the invokers are tamable. I know the one I tamed was not an invoker but I can't recall the exact one.

Tbiggs

Thanks Feldon!, I can't wait to get my own flaming bat!

December 3, 2011 @ 2:45 am

ROFLMAO, just went through this again and this time noticed that under Canine "Hyena" is listed.

From wikipedia:
"Hyenas or Hyaenas (from Greek "ὕαινα" - hyaina[1]) are the animals of the family Hyaenidae (play /hɪˈɛnɨdɛ/) of suborder feliforms of the Carnivora."

that is they are cats not dogs. Those dumb turkeys at SOE have stuffed it up again!

milliebii
December 3, 2011 @ 3:02 am

lots of other Taxonomic errors too.

Hyenas are cats not dogs.
Turtles are reptiles not amphibians
Armadillos are not rodents
Beavers are not rodents they are weasels
Sheep are Ovine, not bovine (ungulates is a better category for both)
Gorillas are Primates not simians (monkeys)
Crocodiles are reptiles not crustaceans (crabs)
Pigs are also ungulates so why are they separated out? Some sort of Jewish/Muslim thing?

Purriclese
December 3, 2011 @ 4:04 am

interesting, so ratongas get felines as their base warders instead of rats. I wonder how many would-be ratonga beastlords were initially eaten by their potential pets.

Gwarin
December 3, 2011 @ 4:52 am

Also, badgers are weasels. That is, on Earth they are, but Norrathian taxonomy could be different. In a world with ample arcane and divine power, anything is possible.

For example, the Norrathian Hyena could have been the result of a crazed gnome's experiment involving a broken tinkered mechanomagical teleport device, a sabretooth cat, and half a dozen wolf puppies.

Feldon
December 3, 2011 @ 5:13 am

The one that stuck out for me was hyenas. I knew they were cats not dogs.

The others are kinda taking liberties to fit into 12 categories.

I have gotten 5 more submissions including cockatrice and another drake!

Murfalad
December 3, 2011 @ 5:23 am

I'm just excited by the idea of a Froglok beastlord with a tamed frog ;)

Hykim
December 3, 2011 @ 7:04 am

I just want to say as a long time Beta and Test forum lurker that you guys are awesome!

Thank you so much for putting this guide together.

Eloscian
December 3, 2011 @ 7:59 am

Badgers aren't rodents either but maybe Taxonomy is different in Norrath ;)
Anyway I want a displacer beast.

Argond
December 3, 2011 @ 8:57 am

I just verified this morning that The Meatbeast in Shimmering Citadel can be tamed. It is a bovid warder.

Dethdlr
December 3, 2011 @ 11:46 am

Wow. Amazing article. Even though I've already pre-ordered AoD, I hadn't planned on making a beastlord. After reading this, I'm reconsidering that plan. :)

Feldon
December 3, 2011 @ 12:19 pm

Added Meatbeast, Cockatrice, gold monkeys, black monkeys, skyfire drakes, skyshadow drakes, ashfire drakes, grey crocodiles, and green crocodiles (MoY).

Ruatta
December 3, 2011 @ 1:13 pm

Actually, Feldon, a Hyena is a canine, not a feline...

Bixxie
December 3, 2011 @ 1:37 pm

Un, no....A Hyena is neither cat nor dog...they have their own family, the Hyaenidae. Their closest relatives are the mongoose, meerkats and the like.

Between the cat and dog families, Hyena's are closer to the cat.

Feldon
December 3, 2011 @ 1:49 pm

Ruatta,

It's not cut-and-dried.

Sharann
December 3, 2011 @ 2:01 pm

Awesome list! This is just what makes me want to create a beastie :)

Feldon
December 3, 2011 @ 5:56 pm

Added Lizard (flame) from Lavastorm, Blue Bat from Crystalline Breaks, Frostfang Lion and Frostfang Lioness, Lion (Ghost Red) from Shard of Love, Deer (ghostly) from Shard of Love, Monarch Drake (Shard of Love). All of these were found by Kragwitch.

Tomoch

December 3, 2011 @ 8:09 pm

Cool. Turtles are reptiles btw, not amphibians. Not sure if that is your classification or theirs, but I think it should be fixed in the guide.

Too bad no spiders or elephants. There are a lot of neat spiders we could get, and I have fond (if distant) memories of leveling up in CL with bull elephants chasing me around.

milliebii
December 4, 2011 @ 2:17 am

you can add A Drakonine Watcher in Eastern Wastes to tameable Drakes

Kruzzen
December 4, 2011 @ 2:51 am

Where is this other beastlord guide you mentioned? From Wilhelmina?

Scavanger
December 4, 2011 @ 6:59 am

made a beast on beta I love the class even more now.

Whilhelmina
December 4, 2011 @ 11:08 am

It is the SoE categories. There are not a lot of amphibians and turtles are livig in an "amphibian" ecosystem so it makes kind of sense.
Hyenas in Norrath are NOT called hyeanas but "carrion hounds" so they're technically dogs too.

One info is missing at first glance: are exotic defensives or offensives?

Brayja
December 4, 2011 @ 1:40 pm

Cannot tame red spirit lion from shard of love.

Just checked. Dire, Enchanted, Drake, and Mystical all have Attacks for their combat arts/spells, so that suggests Offensive to me.

Suziekew
December 4, 2011 @ 5:08 pm

You have draconine guardian listed as tamable and I did see someone with one but I'm trying to tame (yes I do have the ability to tame exotics) and I'm getting "certain enemies cannot be tamed." and can't tame it.

Feldon
December 4, 2011 @ 6:40 pm

You have draconine guardian listed as tamable and I did see someone with one but I’m trying to tame (yes I do have the ability to tame exotics) and I’m getting “certain enemies cannot be tamed.” and can’t tame it.

I tamed one about two hours ago just above the Pit of the Awakened.

I know you said you have the ability to tame exotics, but are you actually using the Tame Exotic Warder ability? Stare Down doesn't work on Exotics either.

NancyC
December 5, 2011 @ 4:39 am

When taming exotics be aware that you have to get them to 25% instead fo the regular 50%. I just tamed a draconine guardian about 5 min ago.

Also..... Shard of Love lion was not able to be tamed.

Unos
December 5, 2011 @ 5:00 am

I've been using the deer in Beta and I really enjoy some of the things the Bovid can bring to your group. It may not be the best DPS warder but it's great defensively and has a little group heal as well.

Who can turn up the chance of a the MeatBeast around level 50?

Tymar
December 5, 2011 @ 5:10 am

Seems that you can also tame the Shimmering Guardians walking around outside the Poet's Palace (cheetah, panther) as a dire pet.

The glass deers from Shard of Love can also be made a dire pet.

Katttara
December 5, 2011 @ 7:21 am

There are also flaming bats in Nektulos, I forgot the name though, but they are on some small mountain-sides/hills, not far from the owlbears.

Calain
December 5, 2011 @ 9:38 am

Actually the crocs in Darklight Wood should be tameable. I guess that comes from my miss interpreted post from the beta forms. I meant that you can tame them, so there is a low level option to gain a croc warder.

glyn
December 5, 2011 @ 1:19 pm

the armadillo's in sinking sands can be tamed also

Feldon
December 5, 2011 @ 7:36 pm

From Ieksar: Regular camel without packs. Get from a camel herder running around Sinking Sands.

Daffodil
December 5, 2011 @ 7:54 pm

I find the term "warder" peculiar, making me think of someone with a bunch of keys and a truncheon, not a pet. How many pets can the beastlord have at once?

Squee
December 6, 2011 @ 7:07 am

Re: Cats and Dogs on Hyaena/Hyena. Real world taxonomy is barely scientific it relies on imperfect categorization of premodern scientists. It is also difficult to even classify species as they are constantly changing and so many different factors are present. Living in Kenya I know that people refer to hyenas as being in packs not prides (this cackle business is just someones sense of humor). It doesn't matter what SOE chooses so long as the flavor is good. Hyenas 'feel' alot more like canines than felines whatever their evolutionary background.

Omshanti
December 6, 2011 @ 11:06 am

No bunnies?? *sigh* I was so looking forward to a fae with a bunny warder =P

Omshanti
December 6, 2011 @ 11:07 am

ah... but this is still a great list! Thanks all!

Daffodil
December 6, 2011 @ 2:08 pm

Omshanti said "but this is still a great list! Thanks all!"
Indeed - I still have more questions than I've found answers but good work by Feldon, Mina & Co.

Feldon
December 7, 2011 @ 6:54 am

TO DO:
Bovid: Add Antonican Stag (Antonica @ Archer Woods).
Feline: Add Shimmering Guardian (leopard) in Shimmering Citadel.
Feline: Notate Shimmering Guardian (panther) in Shimmering Citadel.
Bat: Notate Flaming Bat @ Nektulos Forest
Rodent: Notate Armadillos @ Sinking Sands
Bovid: Rename Camel to Pack Dromedary
Bovid: Add Camel/Camel Herder from Sinking Sands

Callinwod
December 7, 2011 @ 9:04 pm

sea turtle (antonica) can be tamed - looks soo wrong tho, swimming along the fields..i wanted an octopus :(

Eloscian
December 8, 2011 @ 3:30 am

Crocs in Darklight Wood can be tamed.

Katttara
December 8, 2011 @ 4:22 am

You have both regular pigs and warboar in same category (and duplicated), and upon scribing/taming both, for me they are separate categories. Thought you should know. =)

Feldon
December 8, 2011 @ 5:24 am

Katttara,

Fixed. :)

noxcruor
December 8, 2011 @ 8:27 am

Confirmed that the young Kodiaks in DLW can be tamed.

noxcruor
December 8, 2011 @ 8:31 am

The wolves in DLW can too. I don't see them listed.

glyn
December 8, 2011 @ 10:56 am

bugbears cant be tamed

Anaogi
December 8, 2011 @ 11:18 am

You can definitely tame the bears in Frostfang Sea, did it just after level 10.

Will test the felines in that area tonight, as well as the aquatics.

chunk
December 8, 2011 @ 12:33 pm

Anyone have a LOC for the tigers listed to be in commonlands? I scoured that place last night and couldn't find one. I checked zam and wikia for LOCs to no avail.

noxcruor
December 8, 2011 @ 12:50 pm

I have been looking as well and no dice. If anybody knows a loc, that would be awesome.

Fievall
December 8, 2011 @ 1:20 pm

Exact location of the Duck is -588, 174, 1072 between the building and the rock located there. I helped a guy get the duck at around 10:50am est The duck was back up around 12:52pm est. So I will have to check back in two hours to see if it is a two hour spawn timer. Also the duck's name is Mallard Phimore. He is a lvl 90 double up. Doesn't hit to hard.

Nox, and Chunk I'll hit CL up and take a look. I only remember lions in CL, but I'll take a quick fly by. If I find a loc I'll drop it back here.

Feldon
December 8, 2011 @ 1:46 pm

Ok looks like no tigers in Commonlands. Fixed.

Lowest level I am finding now is level 54.

December 8, 2011 @ 2:11 pm

Thats what I was finding as well Feldon.

P.S.
Thanks for all your hard work

Fievall
December 8, 2011 @ 2:56 pm

Confirmed about the spawn time. 2hrs on the nose for the Duck. I did a fly by on CL.. I unless it is something rare I didn't find a tiger in CL.

Feldon
December 8, 2011 @ 6:15 pm

Note: the EQ2 ZAM Bestiary was invaluable for me filling out some of the details on here. If I start listing every possible mob name for each pet, I may have to go the floating window approach.

Feldon
December 8, 2011 @ 6:18 pm

Note in the other thread that there might be a few tigers in Sinking Sands at the Oasis so what would be low 40's.

NoxCruor
December 8, 2011 @ 10:08 pm

I actually just tried that, and was told "Your art won't work on this target"...which is odd...

Odinn
December 9, 2011 @ 2:09 am

"a cursed shriller" level 19 in fallen Gate is tameable. It looks the same as the black "Bat" above.

Calabeth@Permafrost
December 9, 2011 @ 5:50 am

Icy Snapper from frostfell quest "Raiding the Gifty Storehouse" are tameable as an amphibian. Look like regular turtles but clear and icy with blue glowing eyes.

Calabeth@Permafrost
December 9, 2011 @ 5:55 am

Forgot to add there is an Icy boar that's like the turtle in looks/color but body resembles the mutated pig from temple street. Most likely another exotic tameable but not able to verify at this time.

noxcruor
December 9, 2011 @ 6:11 am

Update to simian: the tatterback gorillas in KJ work. The spectral ghost bats in Wailing Caves do not.

Shadowofpain
December 11, 2011 @ 11:39 pm

Feldon,

I just did a Gnome BL and i got a croc as a starting pet.

Shadowofpain
December 11, 2011 @ 11:40 pm

Also cats outside Mock Rent in TD are not tameable. Gorillas across from them are.

Tendo
December 12, 2011 @ 12:05 am

Rust Monsters are Mystical as well and it seems at least it may be a defensive exotic

Feldon
December 12, 2011 @ 7:44 am

TO DO
Add: An Aloof Cat in Estate of Unrest. - a domesticated cat.
Add: Rust Monsters @ Timorous Deep, Butcherblock Mts
Add: Gorilla @ Kunzar Jungle
Remove: Tiger from Oasis @ Sinking Sands

camelotcrusade
December 12, 2011 @ 8:41 am

Katttara
December 13, 2011 @ 10:06 am

Was checking on the other pigs and for some reason your fix on their sections either did not work or something else. I cleared cookies for the site and its still showing the CE warboar and regular pigs both in both sections. Not nagging, just letting you know in case you happen to miss that. =))

Katttara
December 13, 2011 @ 10:09 am

Oh, and reading above, tamed the icy turtle as well...and adding that the icy crab from the storehouse is tameable too. Got them both. (Feeling like "Ash Ketchum") :P

Feldon
December 14, 2011 @ 3:22 am

The Warboar is functionally identical to boars/pigs. You think it should have a separate category all to itself? What if SOE adds other unique appearances later on? Every time I add a category, it changes the page numbering of the article.

NoxCruor
December 14, 2011 @ 12:07 pm

Just for giggles, I was running through Cazel's Mesa not long ago. If I would have had Tame Exotic Warder, I got the impression from the spells that I could tame both the leopards and panthers there. Can anybody confirm this? If so, might be cool to update that in the exotic warders section =)

Argond
December 15, 2011 @ 3:39 am

I can verify that "an aloof cat" (which becomes "an enraged hellcat" when triggered) from Unrest is tamable as a feline warder that resembles a grey domesticated cat. Very cute!

Zaltys
December 15, 2011 @ 7:17 am

Emerald caves bats (in Faceless Oracle's Demesne, only accessible during the new Erollisi quest) are tameable. They look like green version of the bats in Crystalline Breaks.

Feldon
December 15, 2011 @ 7:52 am

TO DO:

ADD: Emerald caves bats (Faceless Oracle's Demesne on new Erollisi quest).

Also, according to recent Update Notes, panthers are now regular Felines instead of Dire. I'd certainly like to test the Leopards and Panthers in Shimmering Citadel again. They have the same mob name but one is a leopard/cheetah appearance and one is a black panther.

I hope they add a way to allow us to store Beastlord appearances. I'd hate to lose the housecat appearance if I get an inclination to have a leopard and then have to run Unrest again to get it back.

NoxCruor
December 15, 2011 @ 12:10 pm

Confirmed - warslik prowlers (black panthers) in Fens can be tamed as Felines now. =) Haven't tried the ocelot, cheetah, or leopards yet.

Tarne
December 16, 2011 @ 11:46 pm

I cant seem to find the Flame Hellhound nor any info on it in the cave of fear. There are 2 a horror hound but they are not attackable therefore not tameable. Any other places to find those or better info?

Tarne
December 16, 2011 @ 11:50 pm

There's at least one pet missing from the rodent category. But I'm not going to spoil it yet...just a small hint: "mole rat".

Feldon
December 18, 2011 @ 6:23 pm

Gringer,

Thanks for confirming that leopards are moved to Feline. If I can confirm the leopards/panthers in Shimmering Citadel then I can move them all over. :)

Gringer
December 19, 2011 @ 3:34 pm

You're welcome :)
And whenever you'll find where I can get the mole rat, we'll be even ;)

camelotcrusade
December 19, 2011 @ 9:57 pm

Oh wow... please post the mole rat when you find it. The only mole rat I can think of is the zone in the Hole zone where the mole rat boss is chewing through the wall while you run away. But he is only visible for a few seconds before he dies afterwards, so probably not enough time to tame it (though I did possess it once, if I started casting right when he came through the wall). Hmm!

Zaltys
December 20, 2011 @ 5:59 am

Fine, I'll spoil it.

Staintooth burrowers in Dire Hollow: Infernal Echoes (~level 35) are tameable. You need Investigating Dire Hollow (Teamwork) quest to enter and there are three versions of the instance, chosen randomly. The quest is repeatable once every two hours.

If the first monster you see in there is a rumbleroot, you're in the correct one.

Feldon
December 20, 2011 @ 6:23 am

TO DO:
REMOVE: Meatbeast tis a sad day...
ADD: Staintooth burrowers (mole rat) in Dire Hollow: Infernal Echoes (link to zam quest writeup)

Feldon
December 20, 2011 @ 7:44 am

Ok, I've made all the requested changes to this point.

Now I need images of the molerat, emerald bat, an aloof cat, and the rustbeast.

The Bloodskull Warhounds in Bloodskull Valley: Maulic's Stronghold can be tamed as a Canine warder, they look like a bloodred and black Hyena

Maizing
December 22, 2011 @ 11:32 pm

You don't list the ice turtles and ice crabs from the gigglegibber gifty storehouse (only available when on a Frostfell quest) or the snow wolves (only available when on another frostfell quest). These have unique skins.

I'm surprised the icy crab and icy turtles from the one Frostfell instence isn't listed in here as being tameable. My two beastlords have them both tamed right now. Both keeps their icy appearence.

Zaltys
December 25, 2011 @ 7:29 pm

Another one: A Dread Servant ~ Miragul's Menagerie

Exotic (Mystical), darker version of the regular manticore. Same as a sattar abomination in Feerrot, haven't tested if the latter are tameable.

(I could send screenshots of these, but...where?)

Zaltys
December 25, 2011 @ 7:56 pm

Also...a marrowjaw cackler in The Clefts of Rujark.
Canine, slightly darker version of the normal hyena.

Feldon
December 26, 2011 @ 3:34 am

Thanks all for the suggested warders. I will update after the new year.

I tamed the piggy in Nek Castle a couple of nights ago.

You can e-mail screenshots to mywarderisbetterthanyours(at)eq2wire.com. ;)

Calain

You can also get "the Lion" from an captured lion (12) in the lower pirate cave on Timerous Deep.

Feldon
December 26, 2011 @ 1:22 pm

TO DO
Add: Exotic (Drake): a burning familiar ~ Jarsath Wastes. Found by Zaltys (Freeport).

Kitrero
December 26, 2011 @ 2:22 pm

In regards to the lions in SoL, maybe there is a bug that makes them untamable after a certain lvl. I was mentored to 50 and it worked just fine, so maybe try that.

Zaltys
December 27, 2011 @ 10:45 am

Found yet another one:
a pesky nocturnal ambusher @ Sundered Splitpaw: Upper Tunnels

Ghostly bat...

Note the name. Other bats in the zone are untameable and there's only a couple of those pesky ones in there.

Zaltys
December 27, 2011 @ 12:16 pm

...and a dreadsnout glutton @ Sundered Splitpaw: Trial of Harclave.

Exotic (Dire), looks like the mutated pig in Temple Street. So there's an alternate location for those of you who want it, but can't get in there.

Thait
December 28, 2011 @ 7:15 pm

The leopards in Cazels mesa can be tamed.

The sabertooth cats in pillars of flame can also be tamed as a normal feline warder. Dont need exotic to tame them.

A guildie of mine tamed one of the wolf pups in great divide a few days ago. Very small chubby version of the adults, and extreemy cute(Canine Family as well). Even smaller when shrunk!

Ferrek
December 29, 2011 @ 1:35 pm

Also just sat there and watched it next to my adult version. The pup is way more animated, it does everything the adult does (pants / snifs around) but also scratches its ear, even does a cute little howl :D

Oh yea! One of the first warders I tamed was an sea turtle in frostfang and it became a frog once tamed. Thought that was weird, figured it was a bug or something. But then I got the icy turtle from the frostfell instance and forgot about it haha

Another one removed...
Drakonine guardian is no longer tameable. Well, not after the next patch anyway.

Hellina
January 9, 2012 @ 11:22 pm

I've heard many complaints from guildmates/friends on my server about how obnoxiously large the drakonine guardian is even shrunk, which is why I never tamed it..not surprised its been taken out as tamable.

Shibi
January 10, 2012 @ 12:30 am

The drakonine guardian has now been removed as a tamable.

There are also Icy Crabs at the "beach / port" below New Halas that are tameable and are around the whole year. Don't know if they keep their icy look after being tamed. :-/

I noticed my drake changed in to one that looks like it's from Butcher Block, they might still be tameable over there, where doing to need someone for confirmation though.

Seduce
January 10, 2012 @ 12:14 pm

The mobs: A mangy cat (4 of them linked with a troll NPC) are tamable and are located in Pillars of Flame at 4.19, -93.08, -783.39.

They are the same size/classification as the "An Aloof Cat" from Unrest. They do have different skins, however; patchy colored fur in three colors. Black and grey, white and cream, and red (reddish) and brown.

I tried taming those ice covered crabs in halas, they lose the ice look upon taming sadly.

Seduce
January 10, 2012 @ 9:17 pm

Brigh.Guk - I'm pretty sure if you're 90 it won't work. I've heard lots of people saying you have to mentor to like.. 60? Or 80? To be able to tame it for some reason. Also here's a link to the picture of the cat skin for the ones in POF (just one color, there are two others not pictured here) so you don't have to go trying to take an SS of them.

Another regular kitty cat model - Hergla the Wretch in Pillars of Flame, heroic troll in the Ortallian Camp near the main quest hub, has 3 or 4 different color cats linked with her that can be tamed.

Kukiko
January 11, 2012 @ 2:53 pm

@ Lenanu - Yeah, I tried that from early on as well. :(

I've been testing out various Drakes to see what wound up being the replacement one for the Drakonine, so far these are on my untameable list:

Tenebrous Tangle
- an azure drake
- an azure drakling
- a squalburst drake

Steamfont Mountains
- an ebon drake

Feldon
January 11, 2012 @ 4:32 pm

Thanks Hellina, Seduce, and others who continue to find new warders. ;)

Let's hope SOE plans to add some more choices in the future as well as make warders out of existing models.

Feldon
January 12, 2012 @ 7:31 am

TO DO:

Add: a hungering hellhog from Estate of Unrest
Add: a defiled wolf @ Firemyst Gully: A Foul Wind (requires examining a scroll "A Foul Wind" which drops in a small chest off any trash in Antonica agro-or-not)
Add: Icy Crab @ Gigglegibber Gifty Storehouse (Frostfell instance)
NOT: Icy Crab from New Halas (loses ice appearance)
Add: A mangy cat (4 variations -- Black and grey, white and cream, and red (reddish) and brown) linked to Hergla the Wretch @ Pillars of Flame (Ortallian Camp).

Lenanu
January 14, 2012 @ 1:07 am

I did see someone with a drakota warder a few days ago, one of the normal gray ones we're used to seeing. Its about the size of the small drakota adds that are with the named drakota that spawn in Antonica and Commonlands. I have no idea where it was tamed at sadly.

Kukiko
January 14, 2012 @ 3:26 am

@ Leenanu - Those were the ones our tamed Drakonines turned into. :( I'm still trying to find where that base model is initially tamed from. :/

Kukiko
January 14, 2012 @ 4:09 am

Following up on the comment that the Drakonines were reverted to a base drake model, Lenanu is correct that they exactly match the three found in Commonlands. Just tested them now, to add to the untameable drake listing. :(

The Commonlands
- Ladon
- drakota adept
- drakota adjutant

Kukiko
January 14, 2012 @ 5:32 am

Further untameable drakes/drakota:

- a hewn stone drake
- a thundermaw drake

The Temple of Scale
- Rantukara
- a guardian drake
- a temple guardian
- disciple of the Awakened
- a young drake

...and yet another one:

Good luck taming these...they're level one and have seven hp. I had to try quite a few times before I managed to tame one.

Default size after taming, but at least the color seems unique.

Zaltys
January 19, 2012 @ 8:40 am

Exotic (enchanted):
a gilded guardian @ The Nest of the Great Egg

Golden flying snake, part of the ring event at the end.

Could someone check "A Relic Guardian" in Forgotten Pools? Based on the ZAM tags, it seems tameable. But I'm too wimpy to try that one myself.

Ahye
January 27, 2012 @ 1:03 pm

Not quite to the point I can tame the exotics myself yet, but I did come across a post on Zam stating that 'a tundra beast' @ Kylong Plains is no longer tamable as of 26 Jan 12.

Not liking the trend of seeing the varity of tames decrease. Would be nice if they add some new ones when they take others away.

As of last week: 'a timorous octopus' @ Timorous Deep is not tamable. Pity, I think an octopus might make an entertaining warder.

Ricther
January 29, 2012 @ 12:42 am

Nice list, thanks. Just restarted EQ2 after a year out with a Beastlord.

Oh and for the record:

Hyenas are neither cats nor dogs. They belong to their own family, the Hyaenidae, which also includes the aardwolf. This family is more closely related to cats than to dogs.

The resemblance of hyenas to dogs is due to convergent evolution.

Ok, forgive me, but all the drakes posted by Kukiko and Zakiara are NOT tameable, right?

So the only tameable ones are the two in Najena's Hollow Tower?

Zerith of Everfrost

Yes Feldon. I have tried each one myself and the only one is in Najena's Tower

Feldon

Alright thanks!

Wolufe, I will update the guide. So now we have Sabertooth and Lashers that have both common and exotic versions that look identical. ;)

Kukiko
January 31, 2012 @ 3:43 am

As Zerith noted, the ones I listed were untameables. (Frustration of trying to find a tameable drake in case I tried something else post-Drakonine nerf.)

Thanks for the updates Feldon and huzzah Richter on finding the tameable regular looking drake! :D

The stags in the _current_ Shard of Love instance are tameable, but I don't suppose this counts as new so much as confirmed.

Lenanu
February 13, 2012 @ 6:01 pm

The vday instence of SoL's tameable stag just turns into the same as the normal SoL's tameable stag. Just one can be any level to tame the vday version compaired to 50+ for normal instence.

Ferrek
March 16, 2012 @ 2:30 pm

A few new warders up on test in the new waking lands zone.

A corrupted wolf, doe, a new croc skin, and a panther. They have also added a new familiy for beastlords - Insects! Beastmaster sight dosen't seem to be working on them to well, so I haven't tested out what might be avalable for that. I would assume beetles, the bulky scarubs, centepeeds, mosquitos, dragonflys, and spiders would fall under that famimliy now. I took a few screenshots of the new Withering Lands pets, not sure how I send those in to the site. Some pretty exciting stuff this next patch :D

Radits
April 23, 2012 @ 3:10 pm

Been checking but seems nothing has been updated yet. Will the Beastlord warders get updated to show Insects on what can be tamed. Also will the new warder for the old get pics as well?

Feldon
April 25, 2012 @ 7:55 am

Sorry for the lack of updates here. I have received several submissions by e-mail which I will be adding soon.

As for Insects, looks like that will be a QUEST that is being added over the next few weeks.

there is a quest from the gator tamer in Grobb, on grobb faction of course, during the course of the quest you come across one dealing with a gator invasion.. during that invasion you CAN TAME a red gator with green stripes as well as a grape gator with green stripes ( looks black leather from a distance )

I am not sure that insect warders are actually available on live. If you had a beta buffed BL on beta you were given the spell Tame Insect. As far as I know the quest line to obtain the spell has NOT been added. It would be good to know how the OP got the spell.

Ferrek
November 16, 2012 @ 7:32 pm

Just an FYI, there is a black colored drake in Najena's Tower as well. Same skin as the red one, but a black color to it, you have to clear a few packs of red ones to get to the one with the bigger black one in it.

All of these drakes also repop if you accidently kill the one you wanted to tame (stupid effin merc).

Ok! Just added all the screenshots that Ferrek sent in!

Still looking for that elusive Housecat (red) in Pillars of Flame, the gold flying snake which is part of an encounter in Nest of the Great Egg, and the Kunzar and Vasty Deep cockatrices.

Teralid Mound-Guardian in Withering Lands can be tamed with the Tame Insect warder ability from the quest. Verified on Test server 8 Dec 2012

Checked the rest of the Teralids in Withering Lands shows the Patroller, Mulcher, Cultivator and Hive-guardians are tamable. None of the other fliers are tamable.

Taming Insects has finally gone live, the quest starts in Ferrott, NPC is near the Wizard Spire. Submitting screenshots of new warders as I find them!

Oh, and a lovely "bug" Beastmaster Sight dosent seem to show any of these as tameable, you will have to beat them to 25% and then try.

So far scorpions, spiders, centepeeds, beetles, dragonflys can be tamed (at least most can be, I have come across several zones they cannot be tamed from)

You cannot stare them down either... 8(

As far as untameable goes, the vespids and leeches (which were 'tameable' to advance the quest) in Kunzar Jungle cannot be tamed. The dragon flies can be, but they lose the purple sparklie.

23 new Insect Warder appearances added all courtesy of screenshots and notes provided by Ferrek!! And I can think of a number of other spider, dragonfly, and scorpions throughout Norrath that, if tameable, may even double this number.

Note that four of the appearances are bugged (specifically the 3 'bone' spiders in the Field of Bone which all turn into grey beetles when adopted). Hopefully these are fixed soon!

FYI tryed to tame the black and yellow scorpions in timmerous deep / fens, both cannot be tamed, also tryed to tame the greyish crawlers in fens, also not tameable. and yea there are still a ton more out there, many of them copies, but having all of the zones where you can tame them would be nice :)

Just remember Beastmaster Sight doesn't seem to work on insects, so it is all trail and error taming to see what works, and what does not!

Ok I did the quest in Feerrott, and now in live game I can tame Insects,so far a spider in Bonemire and Scorpion in Sinking Sands worked. Tried Wurmbone's Crag,those Scorpions are not tameable at this time...this was Dec 15th 2012:)

Here is something I discovered. If you are on silver account you will not get spell. I've sent in petition and response was since spell is labeled fable those that are silver will not get. It is being escalated to see if this was intended or a bug. I got the credit but where I using station cards when my budget allows me I hop back and forth from gold to silver.

Dragonflies, such as the Wetland Damselfly in Feerrott are indeed ramable.

Ferrek
December 17, 2012 @ 12:19 pm

There are a lot of insects in one zone with several different names to them, but all look exactly the same. If one zone is on the list, you can pretty much assume all insects with that apperance will be tamable :)

Feldon
December 18, 2012 @ 5:19 pm

I've got a mailbox full of more screenshots from Ferrek. This list will nearly double!

But I *just* updated it! Up to 39 including 6 bugged appearances and 1 we haven't found yet (the black scorpion).

Feldon, the honeybrood worker and the wetlands dragonfly aren't Greater Faydark, they're both Lesser Fay. At least, I'm rather sure they are...if not, my apologies.

A molting scorpion (black scorpion) in commonlands is tameable as a insect warder.

Info on rodents is wrong - as of 2013, Fiends in Feerott are not tameable.

I tamed a bear in G. Faedark, near the small quest hub by the portal.

With no real pic of the Vasty Deep Cockatrice. Here's it is along with fens cause I thought it might of just been my screen but they are slightly different in color different

You can add the flame wasp appearance to the insect category - I have tamed one on my BL.

The Ember drones, workers, and soldiers @Kylong Plains.

I tried the spell on two of them (the drone and worker, I think) so I'm pretty certain all three work.

Oh, also, for the Reptiles; I can confirm that the light green plated chokidai in Chardok are tameable (the ones near the entrance) and look like the image you show.
I can also confirm that the chokidai pup in Sebilis is tameable and gives a dark green appearance (plated) - darker than the one in the listing. It is the appearance I am currently using on my reptile warder.

The flesh feeders and flesh fiends in Kylong PLains in the Gash of T'Thelin are tameable as mystical warders. They are green version of the frightling. They look like they are the same color green to me, just different names.

not sure if something has changed recently but i have tried to tame at least 3 different scorpions on the list and several spiders and have had no luck taming them,any of the scorpions in commonlands and several of the blue spiders in 2 different zones.

I just came back to the game, and hated the fact that Ratonga got Tigers for their pets. The moment I hit 10 I went to tame a spider, but both the corrupted Spiders and the Diseased Spiders in G Faydark are untamable.

Any news on where and what we might find warder wise for Bristlebane day yet? Not finding much of anything in game or online. I'd call it a challenge and rise to the occasion but we only have what? 5 or 6 days to find them? *sigh*

Just wanted to update for those who may not know. On Antonia Bayle, we've confirmed a spawn point for the new bovid critter, "A Berry-fed Bovid" in Windstalker Village in Antonica near the cows. This bovid appears to spawn at the beastlord's level (the one who is catching him) and dies quite easily so be careful. It doesn't appear that there is a level requirement as I caught him on my level 13 Beastlord and he was my level.

Is this guide being updated? Is it worth mentioning that Darkpaw Pouncers on kerra isle can't be tamed? Either way, thanks a ton for this guide :)

And then i realized the pouncer can be tamed but its under the wrong category, its a Dire pet not a feline as listed in the guide lol

I update the guide periodically. Also I wasn't trying to document every mob in every zone, but just a few representatives so people can easily get any appearance they want. That's good to know about kerra isle pouncers. I think they're dire because they're displacer beasts, right?

I've got a bunch of photo submissions for GU66 and so that will probably be a good time to update this guide.

Someone a bit higher level then me might want to recheck the bone spiders. As of earlier today a dust crawler @ Butcherblock Mountains did not turn into a beetle unless I somehow don't know what the conditions are for it to happen.

I tamed it, zoned, resummoned it, it stayed a grey bone spider.

Ferrek
May 5, 2013 @ 7:43 pm

@ miragian

The info on the guide may be out dated, at the time I tamed those spiders they were bugged. I neither work for Sony or know of their mystical bug fixing ways, so I would not know if or when they might of fixed them. Haven't been playng my beastlord in a long time as well. Good to know they have fixed those spiders now though, usualy when one gets fixed they all do (I had posted bug reports on them several times, one might of finally been read).

Now the real question is, anything new to tame in Siren's Grotto? :D
I already submited screenshots on the Cobalt Scar finds (hint hint Feldon).

Feldon

This week I promise.
