Characteristics in World of Warcraft

 * Nearly all beasts can be skinned, with the exception of intelligent beasts, most birds, and some insects.
 * Some beasts can stealth, have diseases, poisonous attacks, or great speed; a few have more exotic attacks.
 * Trolls have a Beast Slaying racial trait that gives them bonus attack power against beasts.
 * Enchanters can enchant weapons with Beastslaying, which gives the player bonus attack power against beasts, and also causes their weapon to glow red.
 * Not all are hostile. Some will only attack if you attack them or another nearby creature first.

 * Most can be hibernated by Druids.
 * Most can be tamed by Hunters, making them the player's pet. Can also be tracked, scared, and learned about.
