Lion Hunter Pet and Matching Mount

Tameable Lion Hunter Pet

There is a proper Lion Hunter Pet in the game whose model you might recognise from the guild mount, the Reins of the Golden King.

You buy the Lion Mount from the Guild Vendor, once you’ve reached Exalted status with your guild and if your guild has reached level 25.

Do guilds even have levels anymore? I remember when that used to be a thing.

This mount is Alliance only. The Horde variant is some scorpion looking thing.

(Ok fine, it’s the Reins of the Kron’Kar Annihilator)

Anyway – I digress – see below!

Backstory:

I was in the Bank in Boralus, crafting another Ruby Panther to sell on the Auction House when a hunter came in with a pet that I’d not seen before.

I whispered them to ask where they had tamed it.
