I mean Worgen were unironically tamable for a period of time in WoTLK. They eventually made it so you couldn’t feed them causing them to starve to death and run away though 
That’s worse… they do understand how that’s worse right?
Yeah sorry I’m gonna be that guy: Can we please give some love to warlock pets and expand upon our pet system? Hunter pets have gotten so much love over the years and we still have nothing more than reskins of the default pets

Cloud serpents DO count, but still. Yeah, I’d love to see more tamable dragons.

I’d rather they have a simple questline where we learn to “Befriend” Dragons, and have them act like pets for in-game purposes, but in the lore, they’re just allies.
Dragons are a race in this setting, so no . . . however if they were to make a bestial dragon like animal (akin to DnD guard drakes) I could see it working . . . Can’t call em drakes cause that names already taken but maybe something like Dracolisk or something
Enslaving? Man, I don’t know how you play your hunter, but I never once imagined I was “enslaving” my pets. I’ve bonded with them, and they stay with me because they like me. We are a partnership and both gain from it.
Even though they pruned yet another RPG element, the old happiness system in classic and feeding your pet to keep it loyal or else it would run away perfectly illustrated this partnership.

I HIGHLY doubt a dragon would allow themselves to be dominated and become a pet for little Billy Night Elf who can’t move 10 yards without jumping or randomly pulling mobs in dungeons.
Yeah, no.
That being said, us even having them as mounts is sketchy at best, for the same reasons.
I actually think we should get our dragonriding mounts as pets that fight with us when dismounted. That could solve the problem but not only that, hunters now have the chance to have three pets out at control.
This could also give them experience and bond in the world to make them stronger on ground, and flying.
At first, make it only in the dragon isles to see players take on the system and if the majority likes it, then bring it to the whole world and allow them to fight outside of the dragon isles.
You’re giving me some PTSD flashbacks of using Rexxar as a bodyguard in Legion.
at the start of Castle Nathria raid you can tame druids with a collar item for 5mins xD
Yes please, have been asking for dragons as pets for a long time. I want a legendary quest chain that provides lore and the skill to befriend them 
That’s like the FF14 chocobo, which would be cool and all but that is not what hunters are asking for. It’s just not the same thing.
I don’t think a dragon who controls time and is responsible for maintaining the timeline needs someone to feed it and keep it happy.
Well sure, but warlocks aren’t buddies with their demons. They enslave them.

Hope they had wyrms.
Hoping WoW introduces some holy dragons.
“Tome of Befriend Dragon” : This tome lets the hunter befriend drakes and dragons to adventure along side them in place of a pet.
We don’t have to split hairs here. Stick to the rule of cool.

It’s ok to be “that guy” because you’re right. There are like 59 different Hunter pet families and we really don’t need more. Matter of fact, I think Blizzard needs to combine and eliminate some families. Example:
Basilisk and crocs - Basilisk are useless. Combine them.
Carrion Birds, Cranes, Tallstriders and Birds of Prey - Carrion birds, Tallstriders and Cranes are useless. Combine them to just “Birds.”
Dragonhawks and Wind Serpents - Dragonhawks are pretty much useless. Combine the family into “Winged Serpents.”
Monkeys and Gorillas - Monkeys are useless. Combine them with Gorillas, add NPCs with the Grumpus, Icehowl and Starved Yeti to the family. Just call it “Primates.”
Hounds and Hyenas - Combine these too. Drawing a blank for a name.
Lizards and Warp Stalkers - Combine them to just “Lizards.”
Riverbeast and Mammoths - Combine them.
Remove the mechanical family. Make them like undead pets where a family might have a mechanical model.
Got off track but like I said, I do agree with you and there’s a great thread on this topic:

Well we wouldn’t be taming aspects. We’d be taming the ones with the intelligence of a beast. Lesser drakes, whelplings, and the like. We can already tame cloud serpents, so it’s not that much of a stretch.
Taming Alexstrasza though? Yea, that’s not gonna happen.

Firstly using Pandaria as the jumping point many hunter pet families have the capacity for sentience. Its a fantasy game some of the furniture, a few weapons and even a book or two are sentient.
Regardless though It wouldn’t be inconceivable that after gaining exalted rep with a type of dragon like Bronze or Azure you would be able to obtain a tome from that group that allowed you to make contracts of companionship (tame) with their kin. Retrospectively it would be kind of strange and a shameful waste if they didn’t at least attempt do this.
The Idea of subjugating them is fairly narrow minded. We have been friends with various flights of dragons for various reasons for a while. In legion you even get to command a flock of whelps in a mission in Azsuna. So, it is simply a matter of explaining why a dragon would agree to be the companion of a Hunter champion which given the world imperiling scenarios that drive an expansion shouldn’t be too difficult.
