Spirit beast

Spirit beasts are the embodied spirits of the natural world. They are naturally incorporeal, but may take a true physical form to fight for the druid or shaman who called them. Fighting a spirit beast is harrowing, as the creature phases in and out of existence, rarely appearing in the same place twice during battle. Spirit beasts appear like regular animals, but bear glowing auras and are slightly translucent, even when visible.

As a hunter pet
Spirit beasts are a rare class of creatures found throughout the regions of Azeroth. Not much is really known about them and there are currently only 9 that are known to exist: of Sholazar Basin,  of Zul'Drak,  of Storm Peaks,  of Grizzly Hills,  of Vashj'ir's Abyssal Depths,  of the Twilight Highlands,,  and  of Mount Hyjal.

Only Hunters with the 51 talent point Beast Mastery can tame these exotic beasts.
