usually the catch and tame verbiage does restrict - aka see abysia's fire drakes.
The catching and taming part is simply flavor text. Beside catching and taming has nothing to do with leading. Once tamed (recruited), any unit with leadership can move them.

The Beast Tamer of Abysia can lead Salamanders because he has magic leadership. Again, the taming and training in the text is just for flavor. Any unit with magic leadership can lead the salamanders. There isn't some specially coded leadership with these units.

All leadership breaks down to regular, undead, or magic.
A couple of comments.

It might be flavor - but the hydra tamers never get built - so what flavor is that?

Second, if the bugs in hydra regeneration get worked out, sauromatia becomes a little bit stronger. I mean, poison, multi headed, nasty temper - and it took the greatest hero in Great Mythology to slay *one*. I think it should require magical leadership. And it balances Sauromatia just a little.
