Hello, I’m a basically new player that’s been playing for about a week or so.
I picked Hunter 'cause I’ve always liked having minions in games. However, my favorite fantasy monster/creatures are stone golems and rock-monsters. Is there any way to acquire one as a pet or transform into one? I don’t mind starting a new character if i have to, but I would like to get one as soon as possible. If I remember correctly, warlock can temporarily summon one at level 50, but I’m wondering if that’s the only option.
Thanks for your time
Shamans get a temporary earth elemental pet they can summon and that’s all I can think of for traditional rock golem class pets. (Aside from the warlock one.)
Beast Master spec Hunters can tame Shale Spiders, which are basically rock spiders. They are an exotic pet, so you’ll need to be 65 to tame them. Most of them are at level 80+, but there are a couple at lower levels that you could pick up right at 65:
There are also battle pets, of which there are various rock monster/elemental types. These are used in a Pokemon style mini-game,. They can also just follow you around (on any character). Warcraftpets.com has info on all of the battle pets. Here’s the page for elementals, which has some rock-monster type pets:
Beast Mastery Hunters can, in Pandaria, tame a creature called a Quilen.
There are a number of available skin for this pet, including a plain grey stone one.

That’s the closest Hunters get to being able to tame an actual statue, although you should click around on that site (wow-petopia) and see if there are any other pets with skins that match your aesthetic. There are some pretty cool ones out there.

Welcome! Hope you find some fun in Azeroth.
As an aside, if you make a mage, the Frost Mage spec (specialization) can set their talents to allow them to summon a water elemental that follows the mage and does damage. It does not tank, though, like a hunter (or warlock’s) pet.
Thanks guys, I’ll look into these suggestions, but I still really wish there was an actual Stone golem/rock-monster I could get. Oh well
