We has Skoll <3

While herbing in Storm Peaks on Kady yesterday, I happened to see a worg down in the corner of my screen as I was flying just north of Brunnhildar Village. At first I didn't think anything of it until I realized that worgs aren't something I normally see while herbing in SP, so I stopped and turned around. Much to my immense joy, I saw lightning on this blue worg's fur and squealed with delight! While my main is a priest, let's not forget that my first 80 was/is a hunter and I'm very aware of what the spirit beasts look like and how rare they are to find.

Super was about to start dinner but I called him out of the kitchen and told him to hurry and get on his hunter (Ulfgarz) so he could tame this amazing beast (he likes worgs more than I do, I prefer the cat family of pets). Unfortunately, Ulf does not have Beast Mastery. He's a Survivalist and having switched to leveling Super almost right after hitting 80 on Ulf, the gold for dual-spec went to Super instead. Lade, however, does have dual-spec. I got it on her specifically so she could tame the worm pet (who I think I actually named recently though I can't for the life of me remember what it ended up being...).

Super got on his hunter anyway and we partied up. I camped Skoll on Kady while I waited for Ulf to show up and camp him while I got Lade over there. Thankfully, Lade wasn't too far away in the Argent Tourny Grounds and I logged and brought her over as quickly as I could. I had a minor panic attack when I saw a horde flying towards me while waiting for Ulf to arrive, it ended up being a Mage and they continued flying, thankfully. I was worried that they'd see Skoll and want to kill him or tell a horde hunter where he was, but that was the only sign of another player that we saw the whole time.

I arrived on Lade, ecstatic to see that Skoll was still alive and patroling his little spawn point, as I knew he was because Ulf was busy guarding him. I hopped off my mount, set a freezing trap, and began taming. With no other players around, and the freezing trap holding, the tame was easy as pie. I had my sparkly new Spirit Beast in mere seconds and was off to the Tourny Grounds again to show him off. I spent the whole day today using the random dungeon tool and playing with my new pet (whose name is Aemilia, which comes from Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors"). I've only seen one, maybe two, people on my server with this pet and I couldn't believe my luck to have stumbled across it the way I did, it almost makes me want to track down and tame the other Spirit Beasts. Almost ;)
