MMOs with Animal Taming?

One of my favorite things to do back in Ultima Online was animal taming. It took forever, but being able to tame dragons was worth it. Any other MMOs out there that have a system like this? Only game I can think of that's similar is Ark.

Now that I think about it. Archage has a pretty good pet system. Tame them as mounts that can fight with you.

Or maybe I just read about it. Memory starting to fail me.

The biggest challenge in animal training for Riders of Icarus is getting on some of the animals in order to tame them.
SWG all the tameables have the same stats unless you get one bioengineered, but there's a lot more skill involved. You have to find a baby animal at the lair, then make sure you're downwind and persuade the little guy to be your friend without pissing off the adults. Played for years, always had CH.
WoW you get to tame almost all the mobs you can kill, I have fond(?) memories of spending 3 weeks camping one rare spawn, but being able to use the pet of your choice is awesome. Played for years, almost exclusively hunter.
GW2 you have pets you have to find, but they are very limited. I don't remember the taming process but it couldn't have been very involved. Ranger exclusively, played for about a year.
BDO I am a horse trainer. The taming is a bit wonky but the breeding is where the system shines. VERY RNG, but there's things you can do to maximize your chances for a good horse. Even then the RNGods will make you rage.
TL:DR nothing to match UO yet(bard/tamer, played for years). I have hopes for Dark&Light.
Yes. And special mobs were different than the base mob in some cases. Ex: Tiger with faster attack.

Loque'nahak was super popular for example. Tons of hunters used to camp his spawn location for hours in the hopes of getting him when he spawned.

Unlike most every game,the Beastmaster in FFXI did not feel like 1/2 a player plus half a pet,it felt like 2 players.
People often talk about the Wow clones, "i love doing quests"pfftt,while some are running around doing "meaningless" quests ,IF we can call them quests,i was playing 20+ different great classes and using their skills/spells,having fun with my character rather than looking for the next yellow marker over a npc's head.
When i played the BST "Beastmaster" i felt like no other game had a class worth my time and why it is so dam difficult to give any of these half assed developers my time and money,their games do so little.
I am not saying at this point FFXi is a great go to game,for me it still garners some of my time,but at one time,it's taming/Beastmaster class was brilliant and made playing a class way more fun than in other games.Even better yet is several classes in FFXI were great and you go to mix and match so you never had to toss away your taming "Beastmaster" if you so desired to play another class.That is the benefit of a sub class system,your character is never tossed aside for some alt.
