Here's some pretty awesome news from the maven of all things hunter pet-related, Mania:
Chromaggus is tameable on the beta servers.
Chromaggus is a boss in
Blackwing Lair known for keeping healers on their toes with a variety of
debilitating debuffs, for making magic users curse his name thanks to a shifting resistance shield, and for dropping the
coolest-looking shoulder armor in the entire game. You need be a
beastmastery hunter to tame him, as he is a member of the exotic
Core Hound family. Not only is he a great pet for a nostalgic, old-world raider, he also has a very nice-looking, unique skin, and he'll be in high demand for certain raiding groups, as Core Hounds now provide
Ancestral Hysteria, a
Heroism replacement. For my own part, if he remains tameable when
Cataclysm goes live, I know I'll eventually be pulling my old hunter out of the mothballs and calling in a few favors.
