You Hunters that are into the nifty pets… you’re going to want this guy. Trust me.
I know he’s just another Spirit Beast retread with a new skin, but he’s a frickin’ bear, and a bad ass one at that!
He has no special emotes, but he does have some quirks to him. I’m assuming that Blizz has some final fixes to make before the patch goes live.
First off, he runs at normal speed while prowling. This is something I’m sure they will address.
Also, I’m not sure if other bears do this, but if he’s in the standing position at the beginning of a charge, he charges standing up. It’s pretty effing cool. He looks like a comet speeding towards his target.
I’ll tell you one thing… I really hope they add more spawn points for him, because if they don’t, he’s going to be very difficult to tame. He’s so close to the lodge that you could probably see him plainly from the taxi. He’s also in a Grizzly Hills questing hot spot right near the river. I haven’t patrolled for possible additional spawn locations, because, well…who has time for that?! Not I. 
I’m pretty beat tonight so this is all I have for you, but I’ll try to get some decent video footage of him tonight or tomorrow.
Happy Turkey Day Peoples!

Have they fixed the nasty teeth bug when you use Bestial Wrath? not logged onto the PTR for ages so not seen if there have been any more patches.
@ Uchikoma
Nope. It’s still unsightly. I expect that to be polished up some before the patch goes live though.
I, too, have been worried that his spawning in a questing “hot spot” is going to cause some REAL trouble taming him. I really hope they make some additional spawn points in some more “out of the way” areas of Grizzly Hills.
If the patch drops after Christmas, I hope Santa gives us hunters (or AT LEAST Beast Master hunters) more stable slots!
Regular bears do indeed charge standing up! I lost my mind the first time I saw it on my new solo-ing bear pet. I think it happens a lot, because they stand to cast one of their abilities/buffs, and then immediately charge.
Got him at 10.30am on CC waited about 1hr
Seeing as all the other spirit beasts have several spawn points, I’m pretty convinced that it will be the same for this lovely creature. Agreed that the current spawn point will be incredibly frustrating, being so close to the lodge.
@ lawman
It’s kind of strange that the PTR has been up this long, yet no one’s mentioned finding him at another spot in Grizzly Hills. I sure hope that they add at least 1-2 more locations or else it could make for some unfriendly competition. Especially on PvP servers.
@ Rades
When Arcturis charges it looks incredible. Because he’s near transparent apart from his mane, he looks like a comet hurling at his target.
I’ve not had a bear since the pet talents overhaul prior to WotLK, so I was unaware of this. Bears couldn’t charge back in the old days.
@ Kassiopeia
I hope so too. Anyone flying into Amberpine Lodge will immediately see him. not to mention, it’s going to be a clusterf**k right there for weeks unless they add more spawn areas.
Does he sound like a proper spirit beast yet? Or does he still have regular bear vocals?
@ Mousie
He sounds like a bear.
I’m not going to let Gondria go until Arcturis sounds as special as he looks.
@Garwulf
Do you know what Arcturis’ NPC ID is??
@ Artemoose
Arctris’ NPC ID is 38453
So I’m guessing he is another Ferocity Spirit Beast? I was really hoping this one would be Tenacity…
Woot grats on catching him, he still eludes me on the ptr *sigh* and as for his teeth issue you are right, when you look at him from the side in big red the teeth look fixed, but straight on, ya they are still rough.
Also, the pics you have make him look amazing! I have only seen him twice on there but now I am going to have to find who to let go in favor of this new pet!
I really need more stable slots.
But I guess if it comes down to it, Gondria will be set free even tho that kills me haha
Damnit, I already have Skoll, Gondria and Loque’Nahak. If they keep bringing out more spirit beasts I’ll run out of slots in my stables completely!
@ Sylvester
Blizz needs to add a Spirit Beast or exotic pet stable IMO. All of these dangling carrots are going to cause undue stress and conflict among the pet collectors. Either that, or they could create some variance between the different Spirit Beasts and their abilities. That way, at least you wouldn’t have 3-4 of the exact same pet. A tanking Spirit Beast would be just fantastical.
I just got him first on Misha server, I was killing bears from boredom and he spawned right below the road. Here is screenshot of my tame. I’m so happy, good luck Hunters I’m not sure of the spawn time. I’ll add video soon.

Grats MV!
Now be sure to take care of him, or I’ll drop the dime and send the ASPCA after you. No drowning him if his DPS is sub par.
He looks pretty cool when charging eh? Kinda like a comet.
@michaelvick
Did you find him just outside the lodge by that spawn point? Or was it in a different location?
@ Chris
Maybe Michael will confirm, but I can tell you that judging by his screenshot, it looks to be the same exact spot I tamed him on the PTR.
Yes right where you said it would be, here is full screen shot with UI to give you a better idea. See the tree to the left of screen shot? He spawned right there.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2551/4173868212_0cb6f57609_b.jpg
Don’t laugh my UI when patch came up, it messed it up some…lol
Here I just took this shot to help every one get a better idea, notice the tree where the other Hunter on the Proto Drake is? Thats where he spawned for me. Good luck!!
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2558/4173133635_96336c7b98_b.jpg
Oh I almost cried! I hung around that exact location all day, got the NPCScan add (so i could do my chores at the same time)at 10:30 pm my add went off, but i was too late!!
He was murdered!!! LOL
No chores tomorrow!!
My thanks again Garwulf – great info as always.
Although it was heartbreaking to say goodbye to Kilminster the devilsaur, when I spotted Arcturis (same place as everyone above, EU Sha’tar, 18:35 this evening) I knew I had to do it.
Getting hooked on that “heart in the mouth” feeling when NPC_scan pops (though tbh you don’t need it for this one, real easy to spot)… but… but… well it wasn’t quite the same as having flapped around all over the place for three weeks to find him like I had for Skoll. Don’t get me wrong, he’s fantastic, I’m still buzzing, and of course the cachet of having about the rarest pet on the server is fun – I can’t resist hanging around in Dullaran, bear behind (so to speak), popping off everyone else’s NPC_scan, but the chase does seem to be almost as good as the catch. Didn’t even have time to think of names for him… ‘Rupert’, ‘Fozzy’… no rush I guess, I think he’s gonna be with me for a while.
Guess I’ll just have to keep going for the TLPD !
Tamed this bad boy on Nesingwary @ 9:45 server time. Logged of my priest after ICC 25 and logged on my hunter who was parked at Amberpine. Flew down to river and back up and he spawned right beneath me just on the river side of the tree in all the pics. Thanks for the info Garwulf, this has to be a server first have yet to see any other hunter with him.
Grats Dwraith. You got pretty lucky.
Thanks for the spawn time and server btw.
I lucked out tremendously on Arathor. Turned 74 last night, at about 1500 Pacific I flew to Amberpine. He spawned within minutes of my arrival (or was already there). First attempt failed miserably (damn this boy hits hard), and called in a buddy paladin to spam-heal me. He had to fly in from Dalanar on a crappy computer, and arrived just barely in time to get me started just as a Orc came to.. cheer me on at this point. Very classy of him; wish I could arrange for the return of favor.
No camping, no sore losers, one very beautiful beast.
Now to replace that oil-stained wolf I’d grown fond of. Maybe with a spirit wolf…

Got him at the “main” spot loc tonight at 10:14 pm est (9:14 server). Spawned at 31.3 , 55.6, on Aggramar.
Good luck to all camping. Also I started camping 8:15am server. No idea if he was tamed or killed elsewhere but I can guarantee he didn’t spawn by me before that!
Got him after nearly 12 hour long camp- 7am started and 6:45pm got him, awesome looking pet. On Turalyon real 645pm. dont know if it helps but i know the guy who claimed him before me and he took it at 11pm the previous night- so maybe 20 hour respawn? anyway good luck to you all and keep at it
Camped 14 hours for this thing and decided to play Dota on one screen while having WoW and addon alert run on the other screen.
After playing for a while, i notice my character just getting logged off for being afk for too long, i log back in and see Acturis dead below me.
I have been emo ever since, thx for reading this. Fuck blizzard afk booting mechanics……..
@ My previous above post
Waited all over again and finally Caught Arcturis at 9:45 ST Server Frostmourne, Mind you this was after finding him dead and straight camping till now.
Found him dead at 4:30 PM ST and found the next one at 9:45 AM ST so that’s around 17 hours of possible respawn time….. Newayz im glad i got my new Spirit Bear
Good Luck to all the rest of you
i caught him yesterday in that exact spot
I hunted for loque for 2 hours a night, every night for 8 months until I caught him.
I dont play my hunter much and only yesterday decided to log in to look for the new spirit beast.
checked the lodge for location, flew to grizzly, complained to my guild for 15 minutes about having to “abandon” my hive queen and how i wish blizz would change the term to “set free” when the bear spawned.
I hadnt even set my bars up for taming, had the wrong trap keybound, I had to feign death 3 times and reset him before I finally tamed him.
so yay
i got him yesterday around 20:00 frostwisper realm,
i agree give more stable slots.
but the lvling of the pet go very fast so thats a good thing took me 1 hour and a bit to lvl it from 75 to 80.
long camping trip and a lot of cursing at 2 low fuck alliance but got it and happy.
good luck to all the hunters who are still on the camping trip
Just taimed him at 12:51Am Realm Time at the same spot! i camped there from about 9pm i think not really sure so wasnt too bad
i’ll go back there in 12 hours time to see if it is a 12 hour spawn timer and post and let u know!
hope this helps!
Happy Hunting.
sorry forgot to put this on the previous comment, heres a screenshot: http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy161/ChrisMcc30/SpiritBear.jpg
and he’s lvl 74 before you tame him.
I just tamed Arc. He’s so awesome. I hovered on my flying mount for about two hours. I fell asleep at my keyboard and happened to wake up and there he was. It was all luck for me. I had an ally hunter come up to watch. They didn’t give me any trouble and cheered and burst into dance with me after I got him tamed lol. Good luck to those who want to tame him =)
Got him tonight. Had my NPCScan on but I ended up getting logged out because I was AFK (had to bake some stuff… I know, don’t ask). Anyway, I log back in, NPCScan stays silent (because Arcturis was cached) but I still hover the little yellow dots on the mini map and there he was. Laid the trap, tame, 30s later I’m a happy bunny.
I tamed Arcturis today at 1.27 pm realm time (European realm, server Terrokkar. )he spawned right in front of me at the spawnpoint North of Amberpinelodge indeed at the place from Michaelvick’s screenshot (the one where the hunter indicates spawn position) Here is a list of spawn times from my days of “camping”and checking if he was there, hope it can help someone tame him too. Happy hunting all !
List of times when Arcturis did and didn’t spawn ( to get a view of his spawn time)( during my camping days..:)
16-12-09′ : 10.50 hr. PM Arcturis was tamed.
17-12-09′ : 04.00 – 05.00 hr. AM No Arcturis…
17-12-09′ : 10.00 – 11.00 hr. AM No Arcturis…
17-12-09′ : 4.00 – 17.00 hr. PM No Arcturis…
17-12-09′ : 10.00 – 23.00 hr. PM No Arcturis…
18-12-09′ : 1.30 hr. PM Arcturis was tamed.
19-12-09′ : 11.30 – 01.30 hr. PM No Arcturis..
19-12-09′ : 1.27 hr. PM Arcturis was tamed by me !
So I believe his spawn time is 24 hours..
So he really has only 1 spawn point is that correct?
That I’m aware of.
there are at least two confirmed spots according to Thottbot and a few comments on WoWhead one on the cliff southwest of Grizzlemaw at 47.47 and the other at Amberpine by the River at 30.56, which seems to be the popular sighting spot
I did some poking around the web Koroo, and I can’t seem to find valid proof of another spawn location, only heresy.
Tamed this beauty this morning on Korialstrasz. 8:08am server time. Coordinates 31,55 just north of Amberpine. Spawned right on top of me while I was reading a book and npcscan went off. Besides loosing my heart to my throat had no problems taming him. One other hunter was camping at the same time and I saw a Belf hunter camping on and off throughout the day (little does she know I tamed him an hour after she logged the first time).
Grats WhiteDragon!
I’ve tamed this gorgeous creature about a week ago on ED-EU at the same spot everyone else tamed him, after camping him on and off for 4 days. Even my boyfriend helped by running my wow in the background while he was working at home and I was doing some chores. I’m not here to brag (altho ANYONE that owns this cutie has a reason to brag
) but I do want to point out a small problem both my boyfriend and I came across. We both had in-game sounds tuned to that they’re also playing when one is alt-tabbed, but my boyfriend’s NPCscan went off when he tabbed back into WoW only to see it already getting tamed by another Hunter. Same thing happened to me, I was alt-tabbed for a few minutes without any NPCscan sound until I tabbed back in. Fortunately for me there weren’t any other Hunters around at that point so I was able to tame him yay ^^
Named him Aedeche, which is the name of a bear god. Third spirit beast for me, the only one missing is Loque but tbh I CBA to camp for her at this point
Good luck to all of you trying to find and tame Arcturis
Just tamed this beauty on Draenor, at the amberpine location.. 05:10 server time.
Just tamed him at 7:45am (Dreadmaul/oceanic server time). Only took my 1 minute after dinging 74 so I’m realy stoked I have him till I ding 80!
That’s awesome Darkdraco! Grats on the ding and on nabbing Arcturis!
hey, i caught him last night at around 1am…. was just wondering, can i only use him when in beast mastery spec? i also have marksman which is obviously better for dungeons and raids and would love to have him there too. (this may sound a silly question, but im new to hunter and heard that if i didnt store him in a stables and then change back to marksman i would lose him) could someone please help?
meg,
You won’t lose him if you switch back to MM, but you’ll be unable to use him unless you’re BM. You must have the 51 point Beast Mastery talent in order to tame and utilize Spirit Beasts.
Just spec MM for raids, then use Arcturis while in BM spec for your dailies, etc.
So would everyone agree that he is a 24 hour spawn? I understand that the spawn could be + or – an hour or two but does anyone have evidence that he hasn’t been seen at 8 or 12 hour intervals? I saw him at 5:00 in the morning. Am I wasting time looking for him outside of 3:00 to 7:00?
Found and tamed him at around 4am server time, 2 hours after taming Skoll >.< I hope theres a new Spirit Beast coming out soon, i have nothing to do now lmao.
Hit LVL 74 and had to have this bear (like the post above he hits HARD died first 2 trys)camped him and 2 days later there he was started to tame and here comes LVL 80 allie player kills bear and me. he’s tells me not going to happen. guess he kills bear everytime he spawns because I have been camping for 2 weeks with no luck. we need more spawn points.
This alliance guy sounds like a real prick. You need to bring some muscle with you to Amberpine and teach him a lesson.
Have any guildies you could call to act as escorts? if not, you might make a note in general. I bet there’d be some players who’d help you in your plight by stomping him into the ground.
I’m so happy! 8D I just tamed Arcturis, my very first spirit beast. I’ve been after Loque, but Arcturis is just as well! I’ve never had a bear pet before, so I’m glad he’s ferocity (because I prefer ferocity pets). Tamed him like ten minutes ago (6:21-ish pm server time) on Silvermoon. No idea what I shall tame him, but I had gone to go to H PoS and came back with a new crossbow AND to obtain my new pet. =3 He’s adorable!
Grats Abhor!
I tamed Arcturis at 12:21am server time on Illidan. He spawned in the exact spot everyone has said he does- right below Amberpine Lodge. I had been camping there since 9:00pm server time so less than three and a half hours! I have silverdragon as the addon to find him, but I think I saw him spawn before it went off. NOTE: I was MM half way through the camp before I realized, so make sure that you are in the right spec to avoid any mistakes. Getting him was an awesome Valentine’s Day gift! Good luck and happy hunting!
Grats Eopa! I bet you were happy when you saw him spawn.
Got himat 10:30am waited 1 hr spawned right on me
Got the beast at 6:45 pm 2/22/10 a few seconds bf he spawned the wife says” there he is” got me all anxious, no bear, i could have thrown her into my piranha tank, then my kid brother says”there he is” started telling him to “F” off, and there he was, lol i almost fell out of my chair getting to my keyboard, 3 other hunters, noone interrupted
Tamed 1:49 AM @ Stormscale EU.
right below Amberpine Lodge by the lakeside.
Camped him straight for 8 Hours 24 Minutes.
Good luck Hunters!.
P.s hes awesome.
Had Acturis frozen and taming at 3:20 on Garrosh US just now and some mage came along and killed him cause he said he doesn’t like hunters. What an ass!
Thought I had replied to my post but anyhow, tamed Arc 22 hours 40 mins after the mage killed it. Tamed Loque 2 days later at the most northern spawn point in Sholozar. And tamed Skoll and Gondria within a half hour today! So turned into a good week for this hunter.
how rare is the spawn for this pet cos i want him it is unreal
Spawned at 12am server time ally beat me to it, camped in same spot for 23hrs he spawned again (11pm) and I tamed, almost lost to another ally
I don’t use adds, just logged out around 1500 and came back at 0300 next morning, and Arcturis was there at 31,55 in Grizzly Hills. Popped Freezing trap and tamed. He doesn’t do so well with mobs as he does in PVP, which is beautiful. Is a blue streak in the charge. Fills out my collection of Olm, The Evalcharr, Mother Fang and Cranky Benj.
Nice stable Sulla.
cuanto tiempo tarda en apareces este puto oso se donde esta porque lo estaba domando y me cateron 5 allis que me mataron y mataron al oso y ahora no aparrece haci porfavor respondannn
It can take awhile because he has only the one spawn location. Longer if you’re on a high population server or PvP server.
Patience and a little luck is all it takes.
Found Arcturis. tried taming but it said untamable. Do you need the Beast mastery talent to get him?
Doh! Yes, you need to have the 51 point Beast Mastery talent to tame him. He’s an exotic pet.
Amazingly enough – I tamed Skoll earlier today [2 server time for Sentinels]. I started camping for Arcturis, figured I’d never find him the same day. So I queued for a random. The group ended up falling apart so I left early. I was flying around when I got invited to the weekly when all of a sudden…-BAM- NPCScan went off and there he was…in all his glory.
With trembling hands I switched Skoll to my BC armored worg and sent him free, put down a trap and tapped him. I ended up breaking my own CC out of nerves – and yes, he hits hard. xD
But, I got him!
So, last night started camping out for this bad boy. Had no luck yesterday, so logged out around 3:20AM at his spawn point just in case I would find him when I logged it today. My ex was leaving for work, so I figured while he was downstairs watching the little one, I would hop on just in hopes of spotting Arturis. I just kind of figured I wouldn’t have much luck since he is a new spirit beast.
Logged in around 3:30-4PM and guess who was standing before me? None other then Arturis. I was freaking out, screaming as I let my current pet go, set down a frost trap, and hit tame. As I was taming him, the entire time my ex was over my shoulder telling me I was going to die. Luckily, I was one hit away from dieing when I tamed this spirit beast. Making him my first spirit beast tame. I was so excited I got him, my entire body was shaking.
Wish me luck on when I hit level enough for the other spirit beasts xD
So erm, I messed up with this guy big time. Was on my mage questing when I saw him, freaked out and logged my hunter, who was in dal with only a slow mount, so I yelled at my bf to get over there and tag it (he has epic flight) so he did. I flew over there as fast as my little wind rider would carry me, and there he was still, hitting on my bf. I quickly changed spec, forgot about my pet, distracting shotted the bear to get its attention, then started to tame, Even forgot to put a trap down so he starts killing me, my bf heals me, bear goes to him /facepalm. So then i shot him again, hes getting pretty low health now….tried to tame, remembered my pet needed abandoning, so whistled him, and he killed it. My pet killed the bear! I couldn’t believe it. Prime shot at taming him and I messed up. So I’m hoping to catch his respawn seen as i know when he last died. I feel so bad
:(
I just tamed this fella! My hands are still shaking. Tamed at exact spot shown on map. Tamed at 5:15am on Grizzly Hills server.
I was on my pally in Sholazar Basin a couple of nights ago and saw Loque. I knew my hubby wanted him really bad so decided to wake him up and help him get Loque instead of switching over to my hunter. I kept hoping I would have some good karma for passing Loque to my hubby….guess I did!
BTW…Loque was located at the Southern spawn point furthest east at 4:00 am on the dot – Grizzly Hills server.
Tamed him just about 2.50am server time Proudmoore approximately 20hrs after I saw him last (dead). I’m a happy hunter today as today is my birthday! so great wow present this year! I got all 4 SB now… I need more stable space, I have Old Cliff Jumper as my normal pet.
Good luck all.
Tamed him about 12:30 pm server time (3:30pm est). Camped right where everyone said he was seen at. Started camping around 11:30 am est. Tamed him while a lvl 74 horde hunter was sitting not to far from me but looking in the wrong direction (lol)!!! Luckily i was not afk when he spawned.
Also the realm I am on is Anvilmar.
wow. i got my arcturis the very frist day i tryed looking for it.
all i really did was just log out where he spawns at and when i logged in, i saw him and tamed.
Anyone know the sighting time for Magtheridon, I’ve been sitting in that exact location for about 14 hours now, it’s 3:30 server time, NPCScan has been quiet, no luck.
YES! I sat around for 14 hours + He spawned Magtheridon, Server time 3:40! I hope this helps a LOT of people. I know I couldnt find the server spawn time ANYWHERE’S.
I was reading everyones responses to how they handled this tame, with shakey hands and panicing through laying down that first trap, I had thought to myself ‘There’s no way in hell Im going to fumble or experience that heart pumping, blood boiling rush’. I was about to leave my computer AFK to go get ready to go out- Figuring that he wasnt going to spawn, because according to everyone else he’s on a 24 hour spawn rate.
!
As I move my laptop off my lap I spot a HUGE blue blip on the ground, NPCScan did NOT go off (Even after clearing my cache this morning) so I sugest NOT relying on this add-on. I didn’t really make anything of this huge blue monster, because NPCScan had not alarmed, then I second looked it, it was the spirit bear in alll his glory
I gasped and mutter ‘oh my god’ as I in a hurry dropped from the air, recieving bounds of fall dmg shooting off the first trap, missing my target completely, waiting for CD, laid another one. He does laeap towards you, so you will want to set your trap quite a ways in front of him. Panic set in as the freeze trap worked it magic, now my hands started shaking xD
My tame was over in about 5 LONG seconds, and the frost trap didnt even wear off in time for me to recieve any additional damage from the beast. I couldn’t believe I was actually feeling this way towards a tame in a VIDEO GAME! I guess it is the thrill of the hunt x].
He spawns RIGHT where everyone say he does, however- The night previous to my tame I was sitting with a few other hunters on amberpine hill, talking about this spawn. A fresh level 74 hunter said she spotted it the night before, on her way to turn in quests- Unable to tame it (too lo of a level) she didn’t bother with it. She said she’d spotted the bear at around 2:30. So a 12 hour -/+ a few hrs seems to be the general spawn timer.
I hope this helps even one person. Good luck and enjoy hunting
!
Been camping the spot north of the lodge for about.. 9 hours straight, (called in sick for work) Still NO sign of him. I dinged lvl 74, ran all the way over there, and have been camping every since. (Still camping as im typing this) Wish me luck
I tamed him last night on the Argent Dawn server. Good Luck, I got the other 3 just by luck but I camped him for 6 hours. (My guild leader tamed last on our server, so I used his time as a point of ref.)
I am on the hunt for this for my 74 belf hunter.
My 80 troll hunter has Arash-Ethis the rare windserpent from Feralas, Lupos the wolf from Duskwood, Loque’nahak (my favorite!), the Albino Devilsaur, and the wolf that used to be a Worgen (it was only a few days, but man was it fun).
I have NPCscan set up, and I log out at the spawn point. Well, last night I camped him for a bit, but I had to log out around 11:30, I was tired. This morning I logged on around 9:30, and after 15 minutes NPC scan goes NUTS, and I about had a heart attack. I abandoned my pet, and tried to target… nothing. It was someone’s pet. A troll hunter. I whispered her and said your pet gave me a heart attack! She said she just tamed him 30 minutes earlier. I replied back “Now I really hate you (kidding, congrats)”
And she told me it had spawned last night just after I logged off, and some alliance hunter had KILLED IT just for the heck of it. I have no respect for that, it’s not even part of an achievement! Anyhow, according to this very lucky hunter it spawned right around ten hours after it was killed. I plan to log back in around 9.5 hours after the time she tamed it, and keep camping.
Good luck Kat, and be sure to check back in and let us know if that holds true. I’d certainly like to know if Arcturis is on a 10 hour timer and I’m sure many others would as well.
GOT HIM!
I wasn’t able to login at *exactly* ten hours, it was closer to 10.5/11 hours. I camped him from 7-ish until 9, logged to an alt for a few, and logged back. Continued camping til I gave out around 2 am. Logged in this morning at 8:13 and all my add-ons went off. There he was right in front of me! Of course I got taming jitters, and hit freezing trap then tame beast. I had read about him breaking out of ice blocks and laying the smackdown on level 74 hunters who dared to face him, but he was tamed the first attempt, without incident!

Hi everyone,first time i write on the site,so gratz to garwulf,i always stay tuned!
. It would be fantastic if episodes like mine happen more frequently on my server..never had someone to help me with the oil stained wolf for free until yesterday 
now my beasts are Krush,Loque,Skoll,Ancestral(oil stained wolf),and…..Garwulf!!(Old Cliff Jumper) had to abandon nuramoc to tame cliffy..but i wanted a unique wolf and gave him your name,cause your site and information helped me several times 
Spotted arcturis just an hour ago on crushridge,dismounted and slowfalled near the beast when i saw two allies hunters that probably wanted to tame him.. (I’m orc hunter) in the afternoon i was able to tame an oil stained wolf,with the help of one of these several hunters!so i just let them tame arcturis,running around in eyes of the beast with my oiled wolf
