Rare and Secret Hunter Tames

Spirit beasts, one-of-a-kind looks, puzzle tames and the tomes that unlock new pet families for hunters.

Most hunter pets are a click away. These aren't: spirit beasts that appear a few times a day, creatures with a skin nothing else in the game has, mechanical wolves woken by light puzzles, and whole families that only open up after reading the right tome. Every entry says whether it can still be tamed in October 2026.
