if he kills you he does an unique emote "Zaricotl seems much calmer now that it has eaten the remains of (player name)"

Kommentar von Lordship

The bird is soloable by a lvl 56 combat rogue. Don't be afraid of the elite status. Evasion ftw

Kommentar von Jeremypwnz

im just wondering to anyone thats a hunter...... would this be a good pet to tame? because i used beast lore on him and it said tameable. what do u guys think?

Kommentar von Jeremypwnz

should i tame the beast with 300-450 damage, 8k health and 3k armor?

Kommentar von Mister6002

I just killed him ( Lvl 43 druid ) with a lvl 55, hard fight cause he hits hard ( about 0.5k)

Kommentar von 47965

He is SLOW. I'm a 38 Hunter, just kited him from spawn point to Loch Modan solo. Got him to half HP then a level 50 shadowpriest friend flew out to help finish him off quicker. I kited in circles around Thelsamar, no guards helped. Dropped a green.

Kommentar von 87015

Is this thing tamable?

Kommentar von kimsta

Sounds similar to "Quezacotl" a Bird-type Guardian Force in Final Fantasy 8.

Kommentar von 10334

This is a great-looking and very unique pet. A must-have for any collector :]

Kommentar von crowface28

solo'd as a 48 hunter. smoked my pet in like 30 seconds, and i'm beast mastery so that hurt. He was kitable though, with cheetah and cuncuss shots. long fight, and he dropped some whale cloak, so hrmph. w/e though, good challenge. verdant keeper's aim ftw

Kommentar von 97638

Kited him to Kargath, but no gaurds attacked...

Kommentar von MoonLite

Use Flash Bomb , works like a charm :)

Obtainable from nearby quest: Pearl Diving (quest also gives: Schematic: Flash Bomb )

Kommentar von 117919

NOT daoble as a 47 Shaman, guess ill have to come back later. Frost Shock / EB got resisted waay too much. And as a Sidenote, after I reincarnated, he immediately attacked me again, despite him being Neutral, but he went Red as soon as I came back alive.
And as a response to inscroutibob, he 3 shotted me :P, as lvl 47, last one being a 612 crit or so.

Player Death

Zaricotl seems much calmer now that it has eaten the remains of <Player>.

Kommentar von Bantu

i just soloed him with my lvl41 hunter twink. (31/0/0 specced with tenacity pet).
turn your aspect of the cheetah on, let your pet attack him and run ~3minutes trough the whole badlands without aggroing any mobs. use frost trap to kite him and switch between aspect of the viper and aspect of the cheetah when he's slowed. i ran towards kargath and back where he spawns.
sry for my 'bad' english skills.

Kommentar von 316491

Quetzacoatl, the creature the name is likely derived from, is not originally a Final Fantasy creation. The Aztec god, appearing as a serpent with the wings of a bird colored in all the hues of the rainbow; inspired the FF creature, Coatl from D&D, this bird, and the entire Wind Serpent beast family.

Kommentar von 321392

i kno hes in FF8 ive played it dude i made a mistake so i corrected it

Kommentar von Mausabie

WHy is he in lvl 39 area? I died two times from him

Kommentar von 315859

Result of an illicit affair between a Son of Arugal (or maybe a Devilsaur) and a vulture, lol...

Sneaky sneaky overpowered...

Kommentar von 360670

Im a 80 hunter who loves to get rares and get rid of them.My friend had this bird so i decided to take a shot at tameing it.I went and i looked threw the three places the rare cheeta spawns then looked in the southern location and it was right there.I tamed at about 2:23 server time on vek'nilash.So if your looking to tame this pet make sure you use your freeze trap and look out for the adds around it,a wolf attacked me during tame.Good Luck And Happy Hunting! :)

Kommentar von wildowned1995

It is wolfes around him, kill them / get them to him if you want to get him, dont know why he eats us :S

Kommentar von 422867

Just killed by lvl 50 hunter wiv croc pet

Beware!
If u look at the silver dragon around his portrait it DOES hav a wing meaning this guy is both rare AND an elite, silver dragons without wings r still rares (so they should still drop at least a green) but they r not elites - meaning they hav less health/armor/dmg

Kommentar von 285678

i met this birdy tonight when exploring the zone with my lvl 40 rogue...
...i ran beside him when i saw his uncommon skin and the special naming...
...targeted him and my assumption was corret...
...its a rare spawn...
...i jumped down from my mount and used stealth and enjoyed the thought of grabbing his trophey while trying to make screenshot of him...
...
...however... something went wrong...
...as i was closing him more and more i just got into combat and the freaking bird was aiming directly at me... and pulled like 2-3 mobs with him as well...
... well... damn :D ... wtf? ( i was asking me) ...
... and then i realized the Skull at his lvl position, and the amount of HPs :D

... so what could i do? ...
... i run... :D
... and maybe it was the fate or the Light of Elune which saved me...
... (if you ask me... it was the Shadowmelt... thx to mother nature that Night Elves are born with it :D)

end of story ;)

(then i logged onto my main 80 lock trophy collector and turned the birdy into phoenix... or at least, he was so engulft with flames by my conflagrate :D)

nice pet for hunters

Kommentar von Knabber

you can out-run him if you have at least +15% run speed (you will both move at the same speed, but you will not get hit).

Kommentar von 536265

Lol just killed him on my 56 rogue...god that was a pain. Blew off Evasion at the last second, plus ghostly strike, i stayed alive with 45 health (!) and finished the fight....phew, close one. I had almost been killed by this thing before, i was surprised to see he was neutral. So i did a background check.....does he seriously get "calm" after eating a corpse? xD Guess it sucks to be whatever horde guy walked across his path before me....ouch. That sounds like an epic emote though xD i think i'll drag a couple hordies around to get attacked by him.

Kommentar von Mystery21

This bird, strangely, has the highest drop rate for "Mysterious" Unhatched Eggs. he must make very mysterious eggs that never had the chance 2 hatch. :P

Kommentar von Arxroth

I do wonder if this bird keeps the taunt when you tame it...'
It would be just gloat for enemies.

Did meet this again, and now he remained to be calm... dunno reason.

Kommentar von StaticLgtBrngr

Seems the remains of all the hapless characters he has fed upon over the years have finally sated Zaricotls' hunger as I rode past him several times today while farming mithril and he was neutral to me each time, was he changed at some point or did he simply eat someone that didn't agree with him before I got there?

He wasn't killing between feeds either as there was hardly anyone in the zone apart from myself and I even followed him around for about 10 minutes to see if he became hostile again, but he didn't.

/shrug

Kommentar von 476166

This guy is an @#$%^&*.

Sorry, but... I WAS MINDING MY OWN DAMN BUSINESS. >:( On a PvP realm too! Here I was all, killing birds for a quest, and keeping an eye out for Hordies, strolling along I was. Everything was going my way. One more buzzard left and I was free to leave this god-forsaken wasteland. Then all of the sudden, the buzzard pimp up there ruined my *!@#. And then he has the nerve to calm down. My blood is practically caffeine, and he has the NERVE to calm down. When I came back to my broken, injured body, he spots me again and lays waste to my feeble mortal form!

I'm very sure if I had my sister with me, he would've urinated on her right in front of my dead body while calling me a sissy!

... ARGHPTHHB! **** YOU ZARICOTL!

Kommentar von 430528

NEXT PATCH!

Zaricotl will be returning to the game and will be changing into a brand new white vulture with yellow head feet and tails (Vanilla WoW model)

Kommentar von 393077

Did just find Zaricotl at coords 56,43. This spot was not marked on the PTR map.

Kommentar von Sythas

Tamed this beauty this morning, was north of the current markings on wowhead map around 56,54, was flying on the ground and moved back and forth in a very small circle.

Server: Eonar EU.
Time: Around 10:00 game

Kommentar von Scarabhunter

Tamed at (56.3, 43.4) on Elune at 11:30 am server time. He flies very low to the ground and contrasts with the red dirt very well since his color change to white.

Kommentar von 655509

Zaricotl, the Fel Reaver of the Badlands.

Kommentar von 742619

Tamed him this evening, he was neutral to me, an Undead.

Kommentar von 149563

As of this writing, I'm currently waiting for it to spawn so that I may tame it, but I notice wowhead has the mob as neutral to Alliance yet hostile to Horde.

If that's indeed accurate (and once it spawns I'll know for sure) isn't that kind of odd?

Kommentar von Kavaria

Ran into this guy the other day on my lvl 44 Hunter. He is no longer an elite as most of the comments on here suggest that he was in the past.

Checked to see if he could be tamed and was delighted to read that he's tamable. Unfortunately when I went to do so I received the message "Not high enough level to tame." Which was new for me, but then again I've only tamed two pets thus far.

So I leveled through the badlands and came back at now lvl 48, but he's disappeared! I cannot run into this bird again for anything it seems. My Hunter is currently placed to where I can simply log on her and check if Zar is around, but in the past 5 days there's been nothing.

Not giving up though! Just wish there were more comments about his spawn times.

EDIT: Finally tamed him! Checked for him a couple times throughout today and he finally appeared at 5:50p realm time on Mok'Nathal. He also was still neutral to me.

Kommentar von rhandric

When he becomes aggressive he emotes: Zaricotl starts flapping its wings and sqwaking loudly. You have a feeling that you are about to be its next meal!

Kommentar von littleminx

Ran into this bird this morning but i couldnt tame him as was only lvl 45 so i killed him :( but 5 hours later i retured and there he was and i was lvl 48 so tamed him :D very happy now x

Kommentar von Thottbot

Level 55++
866-1245 damage
3292 armor
7842 health

...

Oh, and Tameable :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

Blizzard must have nerfed this guy with the last update. 58 pally and soloed him without needing to heal. Crappy drops for being a 55+ though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I saw him, and i couldn't resist trying to attack him as a 41 hunter. I just put on aspect of the cheetah and ran away while spamming arcane shot and serpent. You run out of mana but it'll regen enough for you to continue spamming serpent and arcane. I dragged him to kargath and spun him around the big hill infront of the kargath inn to get the guards to attack him. Eventually it gave me some nice exp and a lvl 53+ green helm + ironfeathers. It was fun :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

If I Read him correctly He didn't technically _solo_ it, He just got enough damage on it, as well as kited it to a place where NPC's were able to assist him to kill it, Think it was beautiffuly done

Kommentar von Thottbot

anyone know what ui hes using?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was out killing some buzzards and he came up on me. After about 5 hits, I was pfficially owned. He hasn't seen the last of me.

Lvl 43 Druid

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hey guys,

I saw this on my L44 Belf hunter today in badlands, I started kiting it around while my pet was dpsing it and it died quite fast. Really easy to kite, doesn't move that fast! Btw it gave 1590 exp (rested ofc) and some eye patch with 36 nature spelldmg :)

Try it it's fun :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killed him as a level 44 hunter. I kited him pretty easily with aspect of the cheetah. Kited him north into the lower mob zone above and around the lake there. he flies just slower than cheetah, so you can run, stop, autoshot, run, stop, autoshot, etc. got ~1600xp and a Mighty Cloak of Intellect...thought it would be better for a ? Elite rare spawn :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

I saw him only once when my warrior was around lvl 40 and was mining in the area. He ate me up fast.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Me and my gf (both 43 hunters) kited him and killed him. Could've done it alone but would've taken a lot more time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

soloed this on my 56 lock today while leveling up my herbalism. not hard at all, just sent in my felguard and kept hitting it with spells. Had to fear once. Dropped a cloth headband.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Dropped him today, yes, he's a rare spawn. He dropped a lvl 53 green. Wasn't really worth the trek there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Wanna tame this beast and is your lvl too low?

Tame:

Lord Condar (15-16 Rare, Loch Modan)
Dire Condor (18-19, non-rare, Redridge Mountains)
Roc (42-43, non-rare, Tanaris)
Fire Roc (43-45, non-rare, Tanaris)
Greater Firebird (46 Rare, Tanaris)
Searing Roc (47-49, non-rare, Tanaris)

You'll have exactly the same vulture with the same stat's(depending on the lvl) and dive rank 3 you can learn from other's.

Btw..... I never saw a rare that dropped a blue or purple item, only green item's.

Bliz should put more extra's on rare's.

Kommentar von Thottbot

stumbled across this guy today on my 45 hunter

he was doing 400 damage a pop to my elite cat, i'd say he's been revamped ever so slightly =P

Kommentar von Thottbot

Also when he 'eats' a player he isn't hungry any more and is not attack-on-sight.

Kommentar von Thottbot

saw him in badlands killed him and like always, as in all rare spawns, for me he dropped a %^&*ty mail green and some grays

Kommentar von Thottbot

Haha! :D
low lvl priests - dont even try :D
I tried to kill him with my lvl 44 shadow priest.. He resisted all shadow damage... o.O I dont know how it gonna work with someone who's higher lvl then me.. I was lucky and evaded him at the end when I had like 300hp :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

zaricotl seems to have calmed down a bit now that he has feasted on Moustagg's flesh...

i was so sad when i saw this :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

walking through badlands as a 33 tauren druid, prowling this bird came out of nowhere and crit me for 1528 (one hit kill)

Kommentar von Thottbot

After killing a player Zaricotl displays this emote: Zaricotl seems much calmer now that it has eaten the remains of <player name>.

For a short period after eating the remains of a player, Zaricotl will not aggro players unless attacked.

so, as u understand, he can be both Hostile and friendly!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I ran aross him at 36,65 in Badlands in the dustbowl, hovering around that area.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Level 41 pally trying to get off a couple more levels in the Badlands. I'm killing buzzards merrily. I look to my right.

? elite carrion bird. I look to my left. 45 elite giant/elemental thing.

Summon charger, SUMMON CHARGER!

I lived, but it's ridiculous Blizz would put a 55 elite in a 30-40 zone. I forget the name of the giant, but it was a rare elite.

Oh, and five minutes later I see a group of about 6 37-42 ogres running around. Everything was out to get me, apparently.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i was farming mithril and there he was... i wondered if i should kill him (im a lvl 555 Shadow Priest)... tried anyway and killed him very easy just had to fear once and mind flay... dropped the cloth headpiece

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was running thru badlands going to Kargath on my 38 hunter.I had just finished up one of the Princess Trapped quests when i saw this monster.I guess i targetteted him and then a wolf cause I swear i saw 39 elite rare.When I ran toward him to atk he turned around and killed the hell outta me.I tried to fein but it just made it easier for him.Wasnt happy so i came on my 70 shaman and killed him.Dropped a mail belt 11 agi and 12 stam.just hope that my hunter can use it by 50.

Kommentar von Thottbot

not a very good pet if ur wanting to tame i tamed him solo when i was lvl 57 did bad dmg and even worse drops if ur looking for a good pet around 55 go to winterspring and tame the frostsaber cubs

HAPPY HUNTING

zakk
lvl 60 (for the alliance)!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Saw at Mirage Flat flying around this rock. Thought I could manage to solo the 55 elite with my 51 BM Hunter, but didn't go so well. After I barely got away (good ol' freeze trap), I got on my 70 shaman main and proceeded to punch his lights out. For me, he dropped a lvl. 50 chest cloth (+15 int, +16 spir) and vendor trash.

This elite can't be skinned, btw. :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

THIS DAMN BIRD 2 HIT ME... i was questin all happy listenin to music when it pops out of nowhere and totally pwns... then it says that it is happy because it has eaten my remains..

I WILL COME BACK WHEN I AM HIGHER AND BEAT THE SH... OUT OF THIS MOFO

Kommentar von Thottbot

1. try .. lvl 52 warrior .. pretty well geared.. killed me before I could get it below 85% hitting me for 5-700 pr hit ( 4500 armor)

2. try lvl 42 hunter.. I kited it around the map, all the way to Horde FP were guards killed it for me .. easy peasy (had it down to 65% when I got there)

nerf hunters ..pls

Kommentar von Thottbot

im a 39 druid.

I was running around badlands and saw the corpse of a fallen tauren. I could not let my fellow hordie to have to run back to his corpse. I started casting rebirth.. almost finished the cast time.. when.. BANG! that ass of a bird claws me, i try (hopelessly) to hibernate it, ofcourse he resists. So i try to run for my life while all my heal over time spells are on. i thought i was loosing him when i acidently agro a wolf who decides to put the movement slow debuff on me. anyway.. long story short - i died..

warning- this guy will kick your ass if you are a cow.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This guy will kick your ass IN GENERAL.

I'm a lvl 44 hunter (pet = Snarler) and was with a 44 priest and a 43 warlock; we were a good team, could 3-man Cath and Ulda and had just finished the latter.

We spotted Anaethemus or w/e the elite rare giant is and killed him, saw Zaricotl (who was ?) rare elite. I sent pet, the priest tried to heal, and it all went to hell. The Growls and Intimidation were resisted, the priest pulled and died.

We waited, he soulstone-ressed and we tried again. This time I kited it in a square around a Frost Trap, the priest and lock wanded (which was resisted) and then resorted to hitting it with succubus and dagger for exactly 1 damage a pop.

Yeah, one of us should have run to get a main but a nice 70 nelf was watching and waiting to tag the mob after we wiped, so we were afraid to move.

Poor priest kept getting one-shotted despite being bottom of aggro table and far from the bird.

It was a very freakish 15+ minutes but he finally died to the warlock's dagger; my pet had long since been nuked :*(

He dropped a pair of green leather shoulders with crap stats. \o/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He's so slow it's easy to just get out of his way.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just running around and exploring Badlands on my 57 lock (I kinda missed that zone on the appropriate lvl) I thought: "I hope I run into Zaricotl so I can teach him a lesson" and here I see him flying towards me! I saw him being a 55 elite and freaked out a bit (thought he was lower) but still attacked him with FG out. Doing all right till that coyote aggroes me and starts munching on me. Still managed to kill the bird anyways and then the FG took care of the coyote. got a green.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed him, 54 shaman. Dropped Swashbuckler's Eyepatch of the Wolf.

Not too hard for an elite

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i am a 53 rogue with very descent gear and i just couldnt kill him.

he crits fro around 200-300 mostly, ben when it's getting close and he is about to die, he parries gouges and kidney shots and crits for 600+.

i'll get him tomorrow when i'm 54 :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Zaricotl seems much calmer after eating the remains of Jukkis.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tamed him today. Barely, died twice then have to use a dmg absorber for the first hit to make it. Other then the cool red with black, hes nothing special. ATK speed 2.0, dps was around 46 and 2800ish hp with 3200ish ac at lvl 55. This bird hits hard, hit me from 300-700+ dmg.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

so i was just a hapie lil lvl 39 and i was hopping around the badlands lokking for BK to tame and then BAM! dis huge lvl ? red bird pops up and four-shots me and im all like "WTF?1" and so i ask on general "anyone wanna kill dis bird he drops greens (i thot he was a rare, even if hes not he has a good drop rate)" aqnd noone answered so i havent gotten my revenge yet but when im 60 ill be the one eating the remains of Zaricotl MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
or maybe ill let my pet eat the remains, ill bet that will make him hapie

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Happened back into the Badlands on some other business.
Remembered my "old mate" who'd spanked me on previous occasions.

This time he found I was 56 and specced up.

I'm eating him for dinner.

(found him at 56,60)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol i "found" him on my lvl 36 hunter and he came for me... he killed my pet but i got away, MAN I WAS ANGRY. I logged on my shaman and BOOM smacked his stupid @#$%^ ass to the ground!... got a green req lvl 50 item and ALOT of grey $%^&.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

getting close to lvl 55 and just wondering if taming it is anything but a waste of time. i know most elite pets are not special other than i color when they are tamed(excpt of course for king bang'lash, the snarler and the like) so does he have any special abilities when tamed/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i dono why people are conplaining, hes not even hostile.

soloed with 55 hunter - pet kin bangalash

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As you can see in the picture, at one time he was very hostile and aggresive... when leveling my first hunter right after release, he made questing in the badlands suck horribly. A guildmate told me now he's not hostile anymore, and it made me sad. :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Saw this bird on Shatttered Hand while I was running toward the stone-whatever troggs.
I was like WTF? Why is he here with 40s and 41s?
Anyone who trains here in Badlands watch out for him.
Couldnt even tell what level he was with my lv 40 hunter.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you want to kill this guy you should know:
His speed is around 105%, so you need speed increase to kite him.

He hitted my 43 priest (10% damage reduction) for a little less than 500, you can easily go melee if you are around his level.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Im a level 58 Orc Warrior. I was riding through the Badlands when Zaricotl started smacking me, I was thinking if I should ignore it and run but then it dazed me so I killed it and it dropped a Stockade Pauldrons! I LOVE THIS BIRD! ^_^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solod him as a 52 hunter, hes doesn't have that much hp or armor he just hits REALLY REALLY HARD! LOL!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Oh my.. Just solo'd this guy at LV39.
Kited him all the way to Thelsamar, no guards helped but I had a clear path.

Got 721 EXP for the kill and a pair of LV50 plate boots.

I kited it in a big circle, using poison, conc and the occasional normal shot. He has such a slow persuit speed that you pet can keep hitting him and you can keep kiting while using Aspect of the Cheetah. Just remember to keep tagging him so he doesn't return to The Badlands.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Here I am, lvl 50 mage herbgrinding in the badlands...

I see a firebloom and I run towards it even though I'm being flanked by coyotes and the occasional buzzard. Not thinking too much since I'm 10-15 lvl above everything, I run past Zaricotl not noticing he's a lvl 55 elite. At first I'm getting attacked, and I'm thinking, "must have ran close to this buzzard then I thought, lemmie put this careless mob out of it's misery so I can finish this up" Next thing I know, I'm down to 1/3 health finally realizing who I'm messing with...I had no chance to even dig my own grave.

BTW, I found him at 34,67

I trained him today as well. He has Dive Rank 3, the highest rank for dive in pets.

Dive Rank 3 = Increases movement speed by 80 for 15 seconds.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ok guys im a 51 hunter and i soloed thats right soloed him using my beast spec i just used auto atk and let beast and my beast skills do the rest i had to heal beast and he died but that was at 1% health

Kommentar von Allakhazam

dont tame it is a waste. attack speed is 2.00 kill it and hope it drops something good

Kommentar von Allakhazam

is this mob rare or is it a quest involved bird that allways is there?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I ran into him couple days ago while riding through the area in the middle of the map between dustwind gulch, and valley of fangs. It was around 5:30 am pacific time on the uldaman server. I mustve been lucky because barnabus was in the very same area. I actually spotted barnabus on my radar, and hopped off to tame him when zaricotl chewed me up pretty good. Man, he is the size of a dragon ! maybe ill try to tame him at 55 or so, lol.
p.s. i still managed to tame barnabus on the next try

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i never kited him at all i stayed in 1 spot and let pet tank
at 51 he was 55

Kommentar von Allakhazam

WTFPWNED him with my lvl 52 holy priest:)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ran across him today entirely by accident at 56,60. Quel surprise. He dropped Crusader's Armour of the Eagle.

Now that I see his loot table, I'll be looking for him regularly. :)

easially down with my 59 hunter without losing 1 hp, even thou my pet got pretty bad wounded.... did just drop a lvl30 something green item

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Omg this guy is easy. I mean, he only hit me for about 100 (w/o shield) and he dropped a SWEET blue (Orb of Deception). Soo happy to get, it made my day.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Leveling my 38 priest in the Badlands. Minding my own business, engaged with a coyote when this guy ganks me from behind. I never had a chance.

Given that he's 15-20 levels above everything else here, he seems a bit out of place....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I am a 58 night elf hunter with a 57 gorilla for a pet which has close to 6000 armor and I have bestal wrath ability for him. Anyone know if I can solo this bad boy? I heard he hits hard.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

me and my friend stummbled onto him and he chewed us a new one as he we fed him. We rezzed and decided for revenge. We are both lvl 40 hunters and the bird hit the floor without any trouble dropped a really nice green mail helm for us later one! ^^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

came across him as a 52 marksman hunter while I was visiting the horde dragonscale leatherworker. saw the silver dragon, thought "cool - rare mob, I'll have a piece of that".

tried the standard "send the pet in, let it get aggro & then shoot holes through it". Normally works fine against a 55 at my level & spec. After I'd finished dying, I looked at him properly & the mouse-over description came up as an elite beast, despite the silver dragon (?). Go figure - I'm fairly sure none of the other silvers I've fought have been described as 'elite' on mouse-over, so presumably he's one of those rare exceptions.

anyway.. i came back & decided to kite him instead, the words "phat loot" hovering around in the front of my mind. was going fine until I accidentally ran through an elemental while I had aspect of the cheetah on & got myself dazed (he's fast - you want to have a movement enhancer on or he'll catch up with you, plus he was significantly better at resisting my wing clip than a 70th level warrior I'd been hitting during a PVP free-for-all a while prior).

third time lucky. kited him halfway across the badlands to just outside Kargath, where I'd been intending to let the guards deal with him, but by which point I'd killed him myself (lets have a quick round of applause for DoT shots).

out of which I got a bunch of junk and some Wanderer's Bracers of Power. what a gip. other than the warm fuzzy glow of killing a rare (elite) 55, he's not really worth killing unless you're such a low level it's already an educational exercise in how to make the perfect kite (cos it'd be an absolute bugger of a job if the standard mobs in the area routinely attacked you).

oh, and apparently the quest item he used to drop exists no longer, and from my experience that's true - nothing but the one green & garbage greys. and i got 1754 xp, but 877 of that was rested bonus.

Killed as a 49 Hunter. I had a 48 priest who was helping me but pulled hate and died within seconds and then she or he left the party so it was just me and my pet for the whole fight. I kited it around the little mountain a couple times before it died and it dropped some Green Shoulders and to my surprise i get the greed/need window and im like "wtf i dont have a party" so i click need and that stupid priest who left the party won the need roll when he/she wasnt even in my party and then they put me on their ignore list.

pretty stupid...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He shouldn't be a pain in the butt, he's not agressive.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Not aggressive my foot...was riding through the Badlands (lvl 42 Warrior) when all of a sudden this buzzard and a wolf attacked me. Didn't think anything of it...figured I'd just shoot right by 'em. I was dead just as my feet hit the ground as I fell from my mount...got the message "Zaricotl seems much calmer now that it has eaten the remains of Guderian." Well, as long as he's calmer now I guess it's all right then... ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Zaricotl has now calmed down that he has eaten the remains of me i was like wtf? is that a player? and i checked on me macro /find and /who and found out it was a stinking buzzard! i was pissed :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got a few lvls on this guy as a 60 hunter but seriously think you guys are making this guy sound harder than he is. Downed no prob dropped a green belt :(

Note: didnt notice any special abilities other than the obvious harder elite hits. Was hitting my scorpid between 150's mid 200's

Soloed at 36..... screenshots and a vid to prove it

Sakiayugi - lvl 38 hunter Dragonmaw

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Im a lvl 80 and tamed him. This thing is great. It will also occasionally knock down an opponent which is fun to watch. I did have Aotona the rare in Sholizar (cunning). This is a ferocity bird and is awesome in PvP and PvE.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Took him down at 56 warrior after he chased my 41 paladin off.
Took me two tries, three Super potions and a Windblossom berry. :P
He dropped the Ornate Girdle.

Killed at level 40 as a hunter, drop was not worth it.

Kommentar von Eiskalt

Kited and killed as a 40 hunter. I ran him towards Ironforge, and he instantly despawned without letting me loot. :( Will update if a GM is able to do anything, but maybe be careful where you kite to.

Kommentar von squiretoad

The first time I saw him (luckily in the distance), I wondered if he was tameable since he's a really colorful bird. Glad to hear it, a new target to replace my current carrion bird at 55 or so if I still have him.

Kommentar von OCretribution

Is there any point to this mob, or is it just something for hunters to tame?

Kommentar von maglen69

There is ZERO reason a lvl 55 silver elite should be in a lvl 40 zone.
