WoW Forever hunter pets: families, new abilities and diet

families: 19
new family: the Fox: 1
new abilities: 20
renamed: Owl → Bird of Prey: 1

What changes from Classic

A new family, the Fox, with three abilities of its own (among them a dance that gives +50% dodge and faster attacks for 12 sec).

The Owl becomes the Bird of Prey, and swaps Screech for an ability that disarms with its talons.

Eight families gain Dash (spider, bear, crocolisk, crab, gorilla, raptor, scorpid and turtle), and several get an ability of their own: Web (spider), Swipe (bear), Dismember (crocolisk), Demoralizing Screech (carrion bird), Pinch (crab), Savage Rend (raptor), Dust Cloud (tallstrider), Tendon Rip (hyena), Mine! (bird of prey).

Every pet attacks at the same speed: the client ships “faster attack” and “slower attack” passives that make up each family’s difference. The beast you tame still decides how it hits, just not through its base speed.

The wolf’s Furious Howl changes mechanics: in Classic it added damage to the next hit; in Forever it gives the group attack power. The client value already includes the September 24 cut.
