ok, maybe not a bug but rather an exploit.
As we all know BE creatures start out as babies and grow into adulthood. This takes some time depending on their adult CL.
As they grow their HAM and attacks scale accordingly BUT their resists/specials do not. Meaning at baby level they have those resists, etc.
Now, when a CH makes a mount of a creature the creature stops growing in the datapad. For example, my Giant Carrion Spat tamed in the wild was "bemounted" at level 12 (instead of 18, her max level) and she stopped growing as has remained level 12. Not a big deal though.
But what about those BEs who can make super-pets. Why not make the best "mountable" pet you can make (i.e put the Cu Pa model or Bantha...etc) and who cares if it turns out CL 71+ because a MCH can make it a mount anytime it reaches adult size....so just mount it at 70 instead or the normal CL75 (example) and, viola, you have yourself a "shady" pet.
I'm just posting this in the hopes that it will be changed because lets face it, there are a few things "shady" about some of those BE pets...dont ge me wrong, they are great and all but lets fix the problems.
That is my theory, so if any of you BEs or CH/BEs can confirm this it woulld give me a warm feeling in my tummy..

Giant spats are unique in their growth stoppage. This occurs because the final pet is too large for the graphics.
Any other pet that is mounted when it is first able will continue to grow to full size, and even giant spats which can be mounted at CL 1 will continue to grow until that dialog box pops up.
So even assuming they could be tamed, as pointed out, these pets would eventually grow to their full size and be unuable.

Who do you get to tame such a thing? or is it your Wookie advantage? Or do taming clothes push it over the top?
Why do they let us attempt samples from things if it is indeed impossible? Is it so hard not to allow the radial come up to Sample, it's so tempting when you have a crazy thing like a Kimo and it lets you try and sometimes even waits the 10-15 seconds while your trying before it kills you. They don't let you endlessly try and mount your pet rancors do they?
It's funny, CH's think the DEV's hate them, well that I think is proof that they don't, can you imagine that would be so annoying being so close, but so far.
I am starting to think they hate us, of coarse plain ol fear keeps me from dying horrible Krayt deaths, I will Admit I did spend A week on Lok dieing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Then I went to doth and started on Enraged Rancors, I made countless atempts for over a half hour until I searched and asked another BE who told me the CL 75 Cap, I stood up to run away and got killed...lol. It wasn't funny then though.

I think you've gone off without all the information. How are you even going to tame something over CL 70? Answer is you can't. So this theory gets blown out of the water right away.
