Two years ago, hunters were frothing at the mouth – wanting to get their very own Spirit Beast. Loque’nahak was the piéce de résistance in those days.

After that, Blizzard gave us a new Heavy Metal wolf.
Nearly one year ago today, Blizz tempted us with a spectral bear Spirit Beast – AKA awesome-incarnate.
With Deathwing preparing to tear Azeroth asunder in just a few short weeks, now is a great time to venture out and snatch up any rare pets you’ve been thinking about taming.

Yep… Did the old Freeze Trap routine and voila! I’m the owner of a cool new Spirit Beast. I guess I was pretty lucky since a lot of Hunters are still out there …
I’ve been pretty busy the past week with work related tasks, so I haven’t had much time to post. I’ve not played much this past week either, but I did manage to add yet another rare spawn to my list of been there, done that.
