If you're a human this beast can be found on the ship during the intro to Exile's Reach. It's friendly at this stage, but can be tamed at a much later stage, during the quest The Art of Taming.
Retains its original name after taming. A possible encounter on any island, except maybe Crestfall and Snowblossom Village.
Level scaling: In Shadowlands most NPCs will scale with the Hunter's level, within the constraints of their level range. Hunters can tame regular NPCs up to 2 levels higher than them, but can only tame elite NPCs of the hunter's level or below.
