In World of Warcraft can hunters ride animals or their pets
Hunters, like any other class can ride Mounts, which are bought at cities, such as Stormwind. Hunters are the only class that are allowed to have a combat pet that is nameable and can be any monster (as long as it is the same level as you). When you are a certain level you can accept a quest which will allow you to capture these monsters. The "pets" you receive do not count as Mounts as you cannot ride them, they follow you around and attack other things, only. Note you must be a certain level to get a mount, and are around one gold each, so don't expect to get one at level 15.
