Might just be the Lava turtle rare that does that. Admittedly I accidently killed the Lava turtle questing near him. I know all the Cata rare tamables only drop a grey Tear item.
why requests like this arent coming along too with the mounts from tanaan jungle?
it only counts as griefing if you still need from the zone? otherwise go suck a lemon? 
sure, you have a point but this should be also expanded to other things in game that are on farm status and people invest hours and hours of their life into it.
and? Folks were upsest when the following raid bosses were tameable
Chormaggus
Horridon
Oodanasta
basically every exotic/non-exotic boss tame
To add to that, Loque’nahak is actually required for an achievement too. 
But yes, Cataclysm Hunter Rares only drop a grey item meant to make you feel bad for killing a hunter pet.
Mists of Pandaria had it right. They had hunting challenges for the rares. You had to track the rare, and only a hunter could do so.

I don’t know. I think it makes the tame more special than if there was a lookalike version. Specially with Huolon, wich is considerably harder to tame than Nalak or Oondasta (cause there’s always a bunch of people around there waiting for him). I got Huolon on my panda, and I don’t intend on taming it on another hunter, cause I only tame pets that fits the hunter race thematic.

I think having an identical model somewhere would be a perfectly acceptable compromise.

The island northwest of Townlong (where the Shado-Pan quest finale takes place) has black cloud serpents.
Huolon is the only black thundering cloud serpent that’s tamable.
p.s. Skycrack has the exact same model as Huolon and he’s flagged tamable but when you try, it says you can’t. It would be nice if Blizzard fixed this so Huolon would be much less desirable.

I agree!!!
They need more cloud serpent models, but he should still be tameable, they should add other creatures with the same appearance though.
I wanted the base colors that we mount : /
I would say this is the problem.

Or they could just make it respawn fast so everyone can get it and move on…
a boss that is one shot and is no secret or rare should not have that drawn out respawn timer anyways. bring it more inline with the BFA world bosses and it will be fine.
um wow just wow you’re completely ignorant to mount collecting. also all hunters that collect pets are rude people. as seen with you.
If only the world bosses had like a 2 minute respawn it would be so much better.

If you, in this the Year of Our Lord 2020, can’t kill a low-level rare in less than the 6 seconds a hunter needs to channel Tame Beast, I don’t know what to tell you, man.
If anything it should be the other way around - Huolon should have temporary protection on engagement to allow hunters to get him at all. A hunter doesn’t need to go back and tame a mob over and over and over again for close to a decade like people still whacking Huolon regularly are doing. The competition will get much more sparse pretty quick once the hunters who even want the appearance in their stables have gotten it.

I think blizz did this on purpose because they wanted Houlon to be hard for a hunter to tame and rare for a hunter to have, but perhaps they went a bit too far.
I see two ways to give hunters slightly better odds at getting Houlon tamed.
-
When Houlon is successfully tamed, a random number between 0 and 5 is generated and that many hours is added to Houlon’s next spawn time, a separate random 0 to 5 number is also generated and THAT number multiplies the next spawn’s odds of dropping the mount. This could be a huge blessing for mount campers who allow a hunter to tame (getting a 0 and a 5) or a big fat curse (getting a 5 and a 0) or somewhere in between. Houlon will yell something when spawning to give away the mount multiplication factor, and a rare achievement for getting mount when its chance is at X5 should absolutely be named: [I got five on it]
-
simple solution- when mount drops for hunter, clicking it gives option for use as pet or mount, who then can keep on camping to try and have both one day, (Hunter can always try usual way as well… bribing mount campers or getting really lucky and finding nobody there)
it’s not like this is the only tamable pet that drops something players want. there’s a spirit bear in Northrend that has a unique colored leather chest piece I’m wanting. when ever i feel like trying to see if it drops, the area is full of hunters waiting for it to spawn lol.

Well that’s just untrue, and rude itself.

no? if i was a hunter i’d wait to the wee hours of the morning where nobody was up and tame the pet. every hunter just barges in and screws a bunch of people waiting for the kill. if it’s nalak or houlon or some other rare mob.
