They are ghost wolves summoned by the Grimtotem Spirit-Shifters in Dustwallow Marsh.

Note: No longer tameable :(

Comentado por 46565

These show as tameable under Beast Lore, but despawn after five seconds, before the channel can complete.

I've been trying to determine if there's a method whereby these can be tamed. They seem to be immune to being trapped, but I don't know if some other form of CC might prevent them from dying 5 seconds in.

This may be impossible however, in which case making them flagged as tamable was a fairly cruel joke on blizzard's part.

Has anyone tried getting their Priest friend to MC a Grimtotem Spirit-Shifter, and maybe extending the duration of this guy for taming? It is possible to tame by using the Mystical Skyfire Diamond proc; and either troll berserking racial, LW drums, or Shaman buff. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60992473@N00/sets/

I'm a little bit peeved that so far it appears to be almost impossible for everyone except trolls.

While it might be theoretically possible to use Quagmirran's Eye in conjunction with some other spell haste to make it happen, the timing is going to be unbelievably difficult to pull off. If I ever get my hunter to 70 I intend to attempt it, though.

(TW server)
Tamed successfully with Blood Elf hunter (with the use of Mystical Skyfire Diamond + Bloodlust)
Estimated maximum time error ~0.1second (the reaction time you require to target and start taming)

Good luck on taming him

Just a minor addition to this... links to all the said items and spells....

Tame Beast which by default is a whole 20 seconds... 4x's the lifetime of these wolves... >_<

Meta gem Mystical Skyfire Diamond
Diamond made by Alchemist, then Cut by Jewelcrafter, cuts next spell time by 50% when this procs.

Bloodlust/Heroism: Horde/Alliance Shaman Spell, Speed boosts of +30%.

Drums of Battle: Haste Rating boosted by 80 -> ~5% boost.

Trolls only Beserking Boost based on how close one is to death... at <=10% life, you gain +30% speed reduction.

Again, your best bet is being a troll... but as is shown further down this page, there is at least one person who's not a troll running around with one of these guys...

Edit: Since this post is nice and green now... I'd figured I'd also link one other item mentioned further down the page.

Juju Flurry, which provides +30 Haste Rating to spells and melee... and is obtainable from the repeatable quest Frostsaber E'ko down at Winterspring. There's a whole chain you'll need to finish first if you so desire access to this quest and associated item, however.

-----------------------
NOTE: You DO NOT need to be Level 70 to tame him.

So far, the earliest known level possible to attain the Ghost Wolf is at level 66. This is so as it's the EARLIEST possible level to aquire and USE a helmet with a Meta-Gem Socket.

HOWEVER, doing so requires collecting Spirit Shards, which drop from Auchidoun bosses only when your faction has the Bone Wastes buff. Upon attaining 18 Shards, you can buy one of the many Exorcist helms, then feel free to get the Caster Diamond and follow all the other stuff said so far.

The next best bet would be to complete the quest The Warlord's Hideout, which is attainable at level 67, and requires just completing the whole Steamvault Instance. It rewards you with a helm that also sports a Meta-gem socket.

---- UPDATE 1/14/2008

YOU CANNOT TAME THIS BEAST ANYMORE!

Warning, despite receiving a Blue post saying this would not be fixed... we now have a new blue post on the US forums here saying: "Through a hotfix we’ve recently removed the ability to tame a Grimtotem Spirit Guide. Players who have already gone through the trouble of taming the creature will be able to keep them unchanged. This hotfix only removes the possibility to tame this creature from here on.

The removal of the spirit guide has been debated within design discussions for a while now as to what impact the pet and its precedent has on the game.
The unintended nature of the taming, the undead status of the guide, appearance of the wolf in relation to the feel of the hunter class, and the complex processes of taming were all issues touched upon and discussed.

Ultimately the discussions brought us to the conclusion that this should not be a permanent addition to the pet selection available to hunters; however, those that have already tamed them should be allowed to keep them due to their efforts in obtaining one."

So now, we get yet another lovely example of a bad habit blizzard has: to make unannounced hotfixes which sometimes contradict previous messages given to the community.

To all hunters that haven't gotten the pet, and actually bought that gem... I am sorry to hear that you've lost a decent chunk of gold.

To the few that did get this pet... be worried... who knows if they'll go back on their word to not remove our new pet, now that they went back on their word that they wouldn't "fix" the issue letting us tame it to begin with!

--- UPDATE 2/20/2011

Blizzard bought the Ghost Wolf back. Karoma the Ghost wolf can be found in Twilight Highlands. However he's no longer a wolf, but a Spirit Beast, suitable for this creature. This however means that those who didn't tame this guide CANNOT run around with a Ghost wolf unless they are Beast Masters.

So as it stands this pet is still somewhat rare...

Glad they brought him back tho in some form.

Lol powito, the pic of the wolf in zangar/ under bw was my wolf! you took that off manias website >_<. Also for those interested i wrote a guide there as well for how to tame them.

I brought a 70 shammy and a 48 priest w/ me- The dumb priest said there was no abilities on the totem guy... Is the priest too low or was he just a noob? I have wasted 2 hours on this crap. I want my wolf.

post things that have a meta gem socket HERE

Comentado por 105633

I tamed this on my first try today with a group of attentive people.

first, make a macro:

/target grimtotem spirit guide
/cast tame beast

second, get a priest friend to MC the caster. this really isn't necessary, but it makes it really really easy (after all, we got it in one try this way.)

third, with an (activated) Mystical Skyfire Diamond in your helm, start spamming aspects. you should have a leatherworker and a shaman friend in your group paying attention to your buffs.

When they see 'focus' proc (the meta gem proc, its a yellowish buff icon) they should each pop their respective Drums of Battle or Heroism/Bloodlust. at this time, you should start mashing on your macro you just made. make sure when you do this that there are no wolf corpses around, or this could probably bug up in annoying ways.

When your priest sees that both of these buffs are up, he should release the hounds. since you'll already be mashing on the macro at this point, it's almost guaranteed to work.

Anyone found the best place to level this pet after getting it to 60 (Being a lvl 70)?

I found the best place to get it from 30-60 is at the Firewing place in Terrokar, just keep him by your side and tear up the warlocks, as they are casters they just lob shad bolts at you (no melee), most of which you resist anyway. Takes a few sessions, but it's relatively easy to get him to 60, and you pick up a host a greens, a few tomes and a shed load of signets to boot.

I'm just stuck where to go after 60 as the xp required goes through the roof :(

Maybe just instance runs from here on?

To think they made many more people aware of this beast to begin with because in the 2.3.2 PTR, the Hunter Premades came with this pet!

Sorry to say... but I'm worried for Fus'Obeah (my Ghost Wolf) now... ;(

It seems that Grimtotem Spirit Guides can't be summoned anymore by the shaman mobs, which means they can't be tamed. Whoever already tamed the pet earlier gets to keep it though.

i was lucky enough to get it in time, so im one happy hunter with one pretty ghost wolf - the question is what i should name it :)

"These amazing wolves were briefly tameable, but Blizzard removed them from the game in January 2008. Then in March 2008, in Patch 2.4, they were replaced by the Grimtotem Spirit Wolf -- which cannot be tamed."

Well, on the bright side-Hunters who took the time to tame it will be able to sell their accounts on E-bay for much more! (Sarcasm :P)

I actually have a level 70 version of one of these bad boys named Fenrir on my hunter. Took forever to level it to 70 but it seems to be worth it. Furious Howl means your pet can still be somewhat useful even on those pet-unfriendly raid boss encounters. Hasn't been removed by Blizz yet :P

Comentado por Iceh

I managed to snag one too before they fixed it. It was annoying to do, since it cost a chunk of money at the time, but now i have one of the rarest pets in the game, so it paid off in the end i think. :)

Edit: Spelling error.

Just saw a hunter with one of these in Ratchet.

Dunno if they changed it so they could be tamed again or if he just had it for a long time, but I know I saw him with one.

Comentado por Rikaku

As of Patch 3.1, the tamed version of this mob no longer has a "gimped" walk/run animation. It can now fully run alongside it's master.

Comentado por 339994

Thank god. That thing was a pain to tame.. I wont reveal the secret. But it was very hard. And very worth it. Not to boast, but nothing's better than being the only one on your server to walk around with one of those.

Makes your guild look special and every other hunter is jealous. Not to mention they're badass when BW is used. :D.

Comentado por banananaz

I really have seen a lot of hunters lately with these on my server. I checked back here just to make sure and see if they were tameable again :p O well, I never got to have one but I sure have seen a lot running around on my server.

Comentado por Zyland

As mentioned above it is no longer tameable.

Also upon questing on an alt the actual mob itself seems to have been with a smaller version of the wolf with a purplish tint.

It's like any other wolf except for the blueness of it and the obvious transparent sections of it's body. With the use of the Beastial Wrath the blue turns to red and clear gaps will become black giving the wolf an incredible look.

Edit: Spelling errors and missing word

Comentado por Rankkor

heheheh as an enhance shammy I get to use the feral spirit wolves, wich have an identical model to these wolves, exept they have much much nicer skills >:)

Comentado por 315859

If you want a pet similar to the Ancient Grimtotem Spirit Guide, you can go to Storm Peaks and tame the Spirit Beast Skoll. a huge ghostly Northrend Worg. Looks much more badass than those, but loses some prestige points out of being still available and not requiring any special reagents to tame.

He is a rare spawn though, so prepare for long camping..

Comentado por 536662

Wow Blizz said they would leave this pet alone... but with a lvl 80 hunter, I would do ANYTHING to get this pet... wish they could bring it back.

Comentado por Skulduggery

It was quite hard for me to tame a beast like this, because I was a Tauren at the time. Basically I bought the gem and had a shaman burn bloodlust

Once I was ready to tame, I had a priest mind control the guy that summons the wolf. Then, I switched through my aspects until the gem procced. The shaman burned bloodlust, and I began to tame.

When the wolf despawns, it has a death animation and dies. I tamed it right as it died. That meant i was about a second in time for taming it. Cool pet! :D

Comentado por obviousname

They look much more purple-ish in game than they do in the screen shots and model viewer. Has anyoone else noticed this or is it just my computer?

Comentado por 567855

By far my favorite pet in the game. They have been removed from the game, although(Dont see them at all anymore) But they spawned in buildings near the shamans, Managed to tame one on my hunter before they went away, make a ghostly bark when attacking and ghostly howl with, Furious Howl. Nice addition to the stables, along with the Ghost saber. Any hunter who has this pet..... DO NOT ABANDON HIM! Practically the most fmaous pet that was ever invinted by Blizzard. Named my little boy Phantom, because of his ghostly looks. <3

Comentado por 656340

just a little story, ran into a bloodelf hunter in silvermoon with a ghost wolf, and my hunter has the legendary ghost hydra, so we had them attacking dummies, posing etc, and took some screenshots. will post one when can find them have about a thousand.

edit: got picture

Comentado por Lazurianis

Funny how this guy was hotfixed because of the Wolfs undead aspect and yet here they come out with Karoma. Blizzard should make him retameable if there lame excuse is "This creature does not fit the aspect of a beast." if your also that nub who is like "AMG I HAVE THIS PET IM GONNA DOWN RATE THIS LOSER" Go ahead it proves how inconsiderate and selfish you really are.

Comentado por 63170

Beastmastery hunters with some time on their hands can now find this model on Karoma in the Twilight Highlands. Ghost wolf redemption!

Comentado por mcomommy

I have this pet on my lvl 80 hunter. I've had other hunters tell that uppon summoning him since Cata, his looks change to a brown wolf unless you do some crazy macro to glitch him when you summon. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I'm currently afraid to even summon him or lvl because I don't want him to be brown if avoidable.

Comentado por carmina

Nah, this is nonsense. I have had him since he was tamable, always used him, and he never glitched or browned or something :) He is his spectral blue self.

Comentado por 972361

Please, I beg you to return the pet to your game. It's not fair that because of a fool is said that the pet must be talented beast to tame, and that those who deleted the game are completely eliminated. Masters please return the pet, I'm no good praying, but if you persist, so return it and I care about those who say that should not be so, the pet is cute, is wolf after the fact ghostly and something shocking. I thank you very much for your kindness and cooperation, thank you.
ATT: Davidgrdli from the Avengers in Spanish knights wow.

Comentado por 972361

Ahhh, I forgot, if your pet is recovering because of stupid fights, I hope not return to remove, and look at the blizzard, must take the deciciones bn and not let them do the fighting to remove things they can do advertising, not to relocate should the wolf in place and be of discuciones silly.

There's a wolf in Twilight Highlands called "Karoma", level 85, requires BM spec.
