The invasion of Quel'Thalas has brought more than just chaos; it has introduced a hauntingly beautiful ecosystem of Void-touched and Light-infused creatures. For Hunters, the Midnight expansion represents the most significant pet update in years, especially with the opening of the Voidstorm and the overgrown wilds of Harendar. If you are looking to maximize your utility in Patch 12.0.1, your stable needs an overhaul.
In the current meta, your pet choice is no longer just an aesthetic one. With Delves offering high-tier solo rewards and Mythic+ scaling higher than ever, the specific abilities of your companions—like the new Void Jump or the Florafaun passives—are essential for survival. Let’s look at the best Hunter pets to track down in WoW: Midnight.

🌿 Queen Lashtongue (The Florafaun Unlock)
The biggest addition to 12.0 is the Florafaun family—beasts that are half-plant, half-animal. To tame them, you must first obtain the Trials of the Florafaun. This item drops from the rare Queen Lashtongue in the heart of Harendar.
Once unlocked, you gain access to Devilsaptors and Chloroceroses. These pets are top-tier for Beast Mastery because of their "Thorn-Shield" passive, which reflects a percentage of physical damage, making them the premier choice for high-tier solo Delve pushing.
🌌Voidspire Whip Tails: The New Exotic King
Located in the Voidstorm zone, the Whip Tail family is a brand-new Exotic class for Beast Masters. Their signature ability, Shadow Jump, allows the pet to teleport behind a target, instantly closing gaps in PvP and minimizing downtime in complex raid encounters like the Voidspire Citadel.
Look for the Void-Scarred Devourer (Coordinates 51.3, 62.6). It sports a unique translucent purple model that pulses with Void energy. As a Ferocity pet, it provides the essential 10% Leech and Primal Rage (Lust) needed for group content.
🐾Grimlynxes: The Ultimate Cunning Choice
For Survival and Marksmanship Hunters focusing on PvP, the Grimlynx is the 12.0 staple. Found prowling the outskirts of Zul'Aman, these stocky, heavy-furred cats belong to the Cunning family, granting you the Master’s Call freedom-of-movement ability.
The rare spawn Duskburn (found in the shadows of the Amani border) is highly sought after for its "Void-Glow" eyes. They also carry the Mortal Wounds debuff, which is mandatory for securing kills in the current high-sustain Arena meta.
🐉Reinfused Manawyrms
Mana Wyrms have received a visual HD update in Midnight. The Reinfused Manawyrm variants found in the Eversong Woods rework are classed as Serpents. This gives them the Serpent's Swiftness passive, increasing their dodge chance—a subtle but effective tanking stat for solo play.
The Light-Infused variant (white/gold) and the Void-Afflicted variant (deep violet) provide excellent thematic matches for Blood Elf or Void Elf hunters. They are non-exotic, meaning Marksmanship players can use them without losing access to their utility.
🐕Scruff: The Pre-Patch MVP
If you participated in the Midnight pre-patch event, you likely grabbed Scruff, the baby Hyena. While small, Scruff scales to your level and remains a powerful Tenacity pet. For those who missed the event, similar Amani Hyenas can be found in Zul'Aman.
Hyenas are currently favored in 12.0.1 for their Infected Bite, which reduces the enemy's movement speed by 50%. This is invaluable for kite-heavy classes like Marksmanship when dealing with the aggressive trash mobs in the new Gorging Pit dungeon.
