No. 10 -  Icy Bear

WoW Dragonflight Best Hunter Pets - Icy Bear

There are going to be a few different color variants of  Icy Bear, but this one, in particular, is going to be found in the North East of the Azure Span and this is the only one you can find with this particular coloring. You'll go out there, it is a quest mob so it's going to have a fairly short respawn timer and you can get your hands on that pet. We think these look really good if you have the mount as well, you can have kind of like a matching mount pack combo.


No. 9 - Magmammoths

WoW Dragonflight Best Hunter Pets - Magmammoth

In particular, we're going to go for the orange Magmammoth, though there are a few different variations of Magmammoth as well like their horn sizes and if they have spikes on their head, etc. You'll find this over in the northern end of Waking Shores, there'll be a bunch of kind of like mobs channeling beams into it, but all you need to do is tame it. You don't have to get rid of The Shield or anything along those lines, you can just pick this up.

No. 7 - Slyverns

WoW Dragonflight Best Hunter Pets - Slyvern

All the color variations of Slyvern are very good. This is going to be a feather main pet which does mean you will need the Tome of Hybrid Beast taming to be able to tame these. If you don't know how to get that then you're going to have to go back and do Legion content, you're going to have to go through your class order hall, breach in the tomb, and then eventually you'll unlock the quest called 9 of the wild, which once you go through it'll give you your class order Hall amount and you'll also unlock the ability to purchase the Tome of Hybrid Beast. And because it is a feather main, it will have the two special skills of distraction and also a slow fall for you and the pet as well. If you do want to pick this up, there will be a few different locations to get it, one of those will be over in the hour and plains over on the west side near the Storm Scar and the emerald dream area, and there'll be kind of packs of these running around. You may get unlucky with the color variations that are spawned but if that's the case just kind of call out the ones that are currently there wait for them to respawn and you should get the color variation that you're after.


No. 6 - Magmasnails

WoW Dragonflight Best Hunter Pets - Magmasnails

There are three different color variations of Magmasnail, and the other two are more generic kind of magma-looking colors, but the blue one really stood out to most of the players. This is a karapid which means it is an exotic pet, so you're only going to be able to tame this as a Beast Mastery Hunter and its special skill will be damage reduction. Now if you do want this, you'll have to head over to the Waking Shores and over in the kind of Southwest Ise side of the Waking Shores whether the dried-up lava meets the water, there'll be these two snails having an epic showdown.


No. 5 - Icy Armoredon

WoW Dragonflight Best Hunter Pets - Icy Armoredon

If you want to pick up this particular one, there is a few different versions and locations for it. It is a quest mob, so early on you might have people kind of killing it on you, but it does respawn very quickly so it's not really that big of an issue.

If you want this one in particular you'll find it in the woods west of Sri-La Village in  Jade Forest and there's a bunch of them around. It won't take you very long to get them. However, being able to tame Lesser Dragonkins is where things are a little bit more tricky. To tame them, you will need the renowned 23 with the Valdrakken Accord which is one of the longers wraps to kind of get done because it's not as grindable as the other ones, so it will take you a while to get around 23 and the item is meant to be account bound.
