Hydra's have never been exotic. I know not many of the hunters here have had access to one like I have, but the fact still stands. Even after Blizzard changed the "hydras" from crocolisks to have their own family they weren't exotic. So I see no reason for them to be now.
What a grand idea, I should go try to tame him real quick and see what happens
Edit: Ok so I just tamed him. When you walk in the room and try to tame him it says he is "too calm to tame", and since he enrages at 20% I figured i'd burn him down to that point then tame him there. So that worked out nicely, pretty easy tame, though I was a little concerned I almost died because of his almost 1-shot mechanic, but I believe I could've avoided it if i'd burned him a little bit faster. I did almost no damage to him because I didn't want to risk killing him, all the bosses in there take extreme damage from every attack so I just played it safe and mostly let the pet wear him down.
I made a video, i might upload if anyone cares to see it.
Edit 2: So I decided since I was already there and had a fancy new pet to play with, i might as well clear the rest of the raid out for funsies. However apparently since I didn't actually kill chim, and only tamed him, I can't access the last boss. Kinda funny to be honest. The little clickable orb thing to engage nefarian isn't there even though I killed the remaining bosses. I wonder if a soft reset would fix the problem, or perhaps would it respawn chim? Taming him definitely bugs the fight out, i'm getting the Finkle's Mixture buff applied to me for a fraction of a second every 10 seconds or so constantly as well.
Edit 3: So I went back in after a soft reset and chimaeron was back up again like I thought might happen, I also checked my raid lockout and it said chimaeron was still undefeated, I didn't think to do that earlier.

I like ponies and I really don't care what you have to say about that.
Is Thok tameable as well?
Would also be fun to try, though much more difficult.
Honestly though I really doubt it. Devilsaurs were already tamable long before Thok came around, but he still wasnt flagged as tamable. Chimaeron (and Chromaggus for that matter) were only made tamable after their new pet families became tamable. That is of course barring the glitch/exploit hydras that players weren't supposed to have in the first place.
I doubt i'd get in a raid to get to Thok and certainly wont be soloable at 91 or 92, but perhaps I could try Oondasta.
Edit: Nope, oondasta is not tamable. I really doubt Thok is either.

I think I missed a change (didn't play hunter as main since WotLK). We can tame boss now? I thought that they were always scaled +3 lvl than us
Last time I played my hunter since bosses still show with a Skull even in lower lvl Raid they were considered boss and couldn't be tamed..
Princess Huhuran, Ayamiss the Hunter, Buru the Gorger, the boss-level worm adds on the Fankriss encounter, all 3 of the Bug Trio in AQ40, The Beast, Magmadar, Maexxna.
Did I miss any? You might be able to tame one of the ToC worms when its in its "up" phase, but I can't seem to find confirmation.
Really hope they don't nerf BM:/
With all the pet bugginess this xpac, I can agree with that. Let me MM, so even if focusing shot/munitions is better DPS, my pet derping doesn't totally screw me.
Have not done that yet, nope
