Scattered Shots is your weekly guide to improving your Hunter skills, brought to you by Jessica "Lassirra" Klein of The Hunter's Mark (http://www.thehuntersmark.net/), covering a variety of Huntery topics. Today, we'll be browsing the bestiary of Azeroth, Outland and Northrend to identify some of the most unique pets to be found in the wilds ready for taming.
As a Hunter, your pet is an extension of yourself and a means of expression your (or your character's, for you RPers out there) personality, so finding the perfect pet can often be difficult. Today, I'd like to take a look at some of the more unique pets available in the game to help you pick out the perfect companion to set you apart from the crowd.
Ferocity
Because cats are arguably the most popular family of ferocity pets in the game, we'll start with them. All cats come with three abilities in addition to the standard Growl (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=61676) ability shared by all pets: Claw (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=52472), Rake (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59886) and Prowl (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=24453). There are a number of unique cat skins available to help set your chosen feline apart.
If you prefer the look of a sleek lion, Araga (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=14222), a level 35 rare found only in the Alterac Mountains is an excellent choice. She's the only cat in the game sporting this particular skin, so if you favor the sandy coloring sans mane, she's the cat you want. If you're looking for that coloring but with a more manly countenance, The Rake (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=5807), a level 10 rare in Mulgore is a great alternative. If you're unable to find The Rake, there are three other mobs found in The Barrens that share the same skin: the Savannah Highmane (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=3243), the Savannah Prowler (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=3425) and the Savannah Patriarch (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=3241).
You like the mane, but not the color? Don't worry, there are other options available! Humar the Pridelord (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=5828), a level 23 rare found in The Barrens and Pitch (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=28097), a level 76 found in Sholazar Basin boast the same manly mane as The Rake, but with a much darker charcoal coloring. Not digging the black, either? Try Echeyakee (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=3475), a level 16 quest spawn from The Barrens or Sian-Rotam (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=10741), a level 60 quest spawn from Winterspring. Both feature a light white and gray coloring that's sure to set them apart.
