DF - Tundra Vorquin Foal (Removed)
The Tundra Vorquin Foal was a baby pet available since the start of Dragonflight's launch, but was only posted to Petopia and thus made well-known to the general public in January of 2023 by user Ijomi.
The pet was only tameable through the use of Dragonkin Taming, which was only able to be learned by a player with a hunter who had Reknown 23+ with the Valdrakken Accord, a harsh grind to undertake with the game's fresh launch. Because of this, several hunters who did find the pet prior in beta admit within the thread to withholding the knowledge of the pet from the public and thus Blizzard's inevitable hotfixing to allow more people to naturally raise their rep before the knowledge came to light and the pet became unobtainable.
However, this plan would end up to be for naught. In a bizarre move, Blizzard did not remove the tameability of this mob in 10.0. Instead, they hotfixed the mob on the 10.1 PTR servers to both make the pet untameable and change the model of the tamed baby pets to the adult forms.
This was a very unpopular move with hunters, who both protested the removal of this baby pet when two others had been allowed to stay, as well as the overly lengthy delay in a hotfix that had led to attachment and belief the pet would not be removed.
Nevertheless, when 10.1 hit all tamed baby Vorquin were now the adult models, and all baby Vorquin mobs are now flagged untameable.
