Alright, got mine in Crystalsong at the location sort of under Dalaran. It was common (Quality) and the "Balanced" breed. Was nearly 8PM (Server), and it was just sitting there, I wasn't actively camping it (I logged on that character to sweep the zone every hour or so).

 

Locations aside, for battle, what breed do you think would be better? Full HP or Balanced? I'll capture the other once things die down a bit (Next patch?)

I killed about 200 of these so far (Going by the teeth drops) and have yet to get this pet to drop, so I think it's safe to assume it's a rare drop (I'm guessing like the other world pet drops, raptor, whelps, etc.)

I believe the flavor text is a nod to the movie "The Princess Bride" (Made after the book of the same name), here is a link.

Joined WoW the last day this pet was out, was a n00b and didn't go to IF during that time (Hence didn't know about the presents) :(

Oh well. (Update: I got it this Winter Veil, hurrah)

I don't recall people crying for wanting this one back, this was a rather unexpected thing when people found out it dropped from the daily bag. I could agree if it was the Amani Warbear or something, but not this.

To be honest I forgot where this came from and had to look it up here, and what's funny is that now that I know, I don't remember doing the quest : /

I remember back when these were new, sometimes when they battled they would spaz out and run far away while fighting eventually despawning.
