What it does
Two icons in one group, because taming is a task with two failure modes:
- Tame Beast (ready) — a spell-cooldown icon that shows while the ability is off cooldown. It is driven by the spell trigger, not by custom code.
- Coldrasp found — an icon that appears when your target is the beast you are hunting. It fires on PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED and NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED, so it also lights up when a nameplate appears rather than only when you click something, and its whole custom body is a single comparison against the target's name.
Tame Beast is fussier than it looks — it needs an empty Call Pet slot, it will not tame a beast above your level, and the channel breaks if anything hits you. The macros page covers that side; this group is the at-a-glance half.
Adjusting it is expected. The second icon checks one specific beast's name. To hunt something else, open the aura in /fa and change the name in the trigger's custom code — that is the only line you need to touch.

How to import it
- Copy the string above, or download the .txt.
- In game, open the aura editor with /fa.
- Choose Import, paste, and confirm. One paste brings in the group and both icons.
- Check the aura list: the group should appear with its two children underneath it.
Not paste-tested in game yet. The string is decoded and checked on every build, so its structure is known-good, but nobody has confirmed it draws correctly on screen. If it misbehaves, treat it as an untested aura rather than a broken one.
