To tame an undead pet in World of Warcraft, non-undead Hunters must first acquire the Simple Tome of Bone-Binding, which can be obtained through a rare drop from miscellaneous Elite NPCs throughout Maldraxxus and its associated dungeons: Plaguefall and the Theater of Pain. This tome allows Hunters to tame undead beasts, and it’s very fitting that it comes from the undead afterlife of war and strife in Shadowlands.
