10 Unique Hunter Pet Tames to Get Before Midnight (Patch 12.0)

With Patch 12.0 live and Midnight on the horizon, Hunters finally have access to several long-awaited and highly unique pet tames. Whether you’re a collector, transmog enthusiast, or just want a companion that stands out in dungeons and open world content, these pets are worth the effort.

If you’re returning for Midnight or preparing multiple Hunter specs, having enough gold for tomes, travel, and prep can make things smoother—many players rely on SSEGold to stay ready without grinding endlessly.

Below are 10 unique Hunter pet tames you can obtain right now, including locations, requirements, and why each one stands out.

Magmorax – Magma Hydra (Aberrus Raid)

Magmorax is one of the most visually striking Hunter pets currently available.

• Location: Aberrus raid, Zaralek Cavern

• Tameable by: All Hunter specializations

• Requirement: Reach Magmorax’s arena and clear nearby trash

With Patch 12.0, Magmorax became tameable, finally allowing Hunters to claim this fiery Hydra. The animated magma effects and heavy stomping sound make it one of the best-looking pets in the game. Beast Mastery Hunters can even tame a matching pair thanks to its fast respawn.

Blaze Seeker – Undead Hound (Island Expeditions)

Blaze Seeker is a rare undead hound tied to Island Expeditions.

• Location: Island Expeditions (BFA)

• Tameable by: All Hunter specs

• Requirement: Tome of Bone Binding (unless Forsaken)

Finding Blaze Seeker requires patience. It only spawns under specific Island Expedition conditions, often on Jorundall. Expect to queue repeatedly and leave if it doesn’t appear—this is one of the rarest pets on the list, but also one of the most rewarding.

Ramona the Insatiable – Cosmic Worm (K’aresh)

Ramona is a quest-locked exotic pet with strong thematic flair.

• Location: K’aresh

• Tameable by: Beast Mastery only

• Requirement: Void Hunter questline

You can only tame Ramona during a specific quest phase. Be sure to ice trap her immediately when she becomes hostile, or the accompanying NPC will interrupt the tame. While the model isn’t unique, the context and title make Ramona special.

The Lone Hunter – Unique Wolf (Eastern Plaguelands)

This wolf is easy to miss but impossible to forget.

• Location: Eastern Plaguelands

• Tameable by: All Hunter specs

• Notes: Retains its unique title

The Lone Hunter appears to be dead until approached. Older exploits allowing it to keep a sword model have been patched, but the pet remains a unique and atmospheric tame worth grabbing.

Nuts – Mechanical Pet (Azshara)

Nuts offers one of the most involved mechanical pet tames.

• Location: Secret Lab, Azshara

• Tameable by: All Hunter specs

• Requirement: Mechagon Imprint Matrix (non-Gnome/Goblin)

Summoning Nuts requires activating four devices in the correct order after triggering the event. Be prepared to CC or turtle before taming—Nuts can still hit surprisingly hard.

Jetwing – Feathered Gryphon (The Hinterlands)

Jetwing patrols high above the Hinterlands and blends into the sky.

• Location: North of Valorwind Lake

• Tameable by: All Hunter specs

• Requirement: Tome of the Hybrid Beast

Using toys like the Fruit Basket helps pull Jetwing safely from the air. With a multi-hour respawn, this pet is ideal if you want a matching pair.

Corpse Scarab – Beetle (Naxxramas)

A smaller beetle with a unique trailing effect.

• Location: Naxxramas, Arachnid Quarter

• Tameable by: All Hunter specs

Trigger the Anub’Rekhan encounter without killing the boss and wait for Crypt Guards to spawn the Corpse Scarab. It may take a few minutes, but patience pays off.

Disembodied Jormungar – Spectral Worm (Storm Peaks)

One of the most effort-heavy tames on the list.

• Location: Storm Peaks

• Tameable by: All Hunter specs

• Requirement: Revered with Sons of Hodir

Unlocked through a lengthy questline and daily quest, this semi-transparent worm is a true badge of dedication and perfect for collectors.

Goodie – Tallstrider (Ashenvale, Horde Only)

A lighthearted and unusual tame.

• Location: Ashenvale

• Faction: Horde only

Goodie doesn’t have a unique skin, but the process of stealing another Hunter’s pet gives it novelty value. Alliance players can find identical models in Northern Barrens.

Fenryr – Runed Wolf (Halls of Valor)

One of the most iconic Hunter pets ever added.

• Location: Halls of Valor (Mythic)

• Tameable by: All Hunter specs

Depending on Mythic+ rotation, this tame ranges from easy to extremely difficult. Fenryr’s glowing runes and legendary reputation easily place it in many players’ top five Hunter pets of all time.

Windsteeds – Stag Mount-Style Pets (Wandering Isle)

The final entry includes multiple color variants.

• Location: Wandering Isle

• Requirement: Pandaren Heritage Armor questline

Once unlocked, Windsteeds can be tamed on any Hunter. You don’t need to finish the full questline to start collecting, though it’s highly recommended.

Final Thoughts: Midnight Is the Perfect Time to Expand Your Stable

These 10 unique Hunter pet tames offer a mix of challenge, nostalgia, and visual flair—perfect for Hunters preparing for Midnight. Some are easy pickups, while others reward serious dedication.

If you’re gearing up alts, unlocking tomes, or traveling across expansions, having spare gold helps remove friction. Many Hunters turn to SSEGold so they can focus on collecting and playing instead of farming.
