Ha!  I know that pets will show up when you are taxi-ing over them but disappear ala crz when you land-- but, entire sandstorms??  lol  Still hunting this guy!

Hmm, is there such thing as WoW Karma?  While I was taming an uncommon one of these, a horde player attacked me-- by accident it turned out (think they were aiming at a wasp), and as soon as I got my hunter's pet called off I saw that an alliance person had grabbed my hatchling!  Well, not *mine* I guess, but I was standing right next to it while I was figuring things out w/ the horde player...  Anyway, the next one I found nearby, and it was a rare!  ; D  

Oh, I am sooo slow on the uptake sometimes!  lol  I got the achieve at least a couple of days ago, and I did not realize until today that there is a new pet to go with it, when I was browsing which pet achieves I still need!   rofl  Very ugly (just imho!), should be called "The Sha of Pet Obsession."

It is that time of year-- I named this utterly adorable little guy Moonraiser, after the winged lion King of the Isle of Misfit Toys (Rudolph, anyone?)!  : >  Kind of a big name for such tiny shoulders, but I think he can handle it!  So glad he turned out to be account wide.

A big thanks to the folks who recommended the beach coordinates to grab this guy!  I am on a pvp server which complicates matters-- players from both factions were attacking each other to interrupt tames, but I was kinda off by myself when a common spawned right in front of me.  I don't think anyone realized I was taming!  lol

Many thanks for all the tips for finding this guy!  I found him on the Tanaris docks by Gadgetstan-- lucky to get a rare-- and I have seen him there in two flyovers since.  He has shown up as a second pet in battles across Tanaris too.  

This cub is a bit of nostalgia for me--- back in my hunter's first days, the grown-up version of this cutie was the first pet we tamed!  Now his little brother gets to battle too!  : >    

If this hilarious insect is an example of Blizzard's improving animations on companion pets, I have a new great reason to be excited about cata!

Thanks so much to the eagle-eyed fellow collectors who mentioned this guy even before the write-up---- I was able to add him just a few days after he came into existence! He has the same 'skin' as the captured firefly, but his coloring makes his animation stand out even better, imho.

I have been working on this little guy for quite awhile! For a couple of months I was doing this daily and the Viking Giantess daily (don't tell them I don't remember their name! : D ) for the polar bear mount---- and now I have a polar bear and still no crawler! lol I can't complain-- I finally got all the crocolisks, thanks Blizzard for drop increase---- and amazingly got a blue drake my first time through Oculus! Wouldn't be fair if I was that lucky all the time! ; >
