Notes

This raptor companion is available upon defeating Bloodlord Mandokir in the new five-man heroic Zul'gurub dungeon. Players who have completed the level 20+ Lashtail Hatchling quest chain will find a captured Lashtail Hatchling in the instance, which they can save, and conclude this raptor's storyline.

To begin the lower level quest chain, horde players will need to pick up the quest The Defense of Grom'gol: Raptor Risk and alliance players will need to pick up the quest Bad Medicine.

Unlike other pets, the Lashtail Hatchling will proudly sport the title of 'aka instead of 's Compnaion.

Instead of <Yourname's Companion> under the Lashtail Hatchling, it'll say <Yourname'aka>.

I feel very emotional about this pet, I really can't bring myself to get any other pet out since getting her, after what shes been through she needs all my love :D

Having a pet with a back story is a brilliant idea, Blizzard should do more like this.

This is my favorite pet of all time! The quest line is adorable and her scars make her unique among the baby raptors. The emote is super cute too & a nice match when you're working on archaeology-- you dig up artifacts, she's gnawing on a corpse & digs up a bone.

One of my favorite pets sofar. The story behind little Ohgan'Aka is funny, sad, and everything inbetween. Never before have I wanted to see a boss dead as much as Mandokir. How dare he take Feyanra'Aka away from me! Brainwash her? Torture her?!

A thousand deaths are not enough for this Troll!

Who cares about Arthas, Deathwing and all them.. this troll gonna die!

I actually submitted a ticket asking Blizz to categorize her as the girl she's supposed to be and to give us our 'aka after our names back. Yes, I was that irritated :P We did all that work for her and now our bonded names are gone!

For me, obtaining this pet was far more frustrating than any grinding job. I went through hours and many groups queuing for the dungeon, even trying to create my own with guild members. After the last boss is killed, DO NOT leave the dungeon like I did (twice, really? Yeah really). I never caught the drift when I was given the info at first, but the quest to obtain this raptor is inside the instance. Mount up and run to the quest point in the lower right corner before you leave.

This appears to be the low level pre-requisite quests for it to open up for Horde:

The defense of grom'gol: raptor risk
which opens:
Just Hatched
Think She's Hungry

During the quest Hunt for Yenniku
Raptor gives you quest:
Favored Skull
A nose for this sort of thing
Followed by this chain:
Whose a big troll?
Skullsplitter Mojo
Speaking with Nezzliok
BloodLord Mandokir - Took Egg

Saving Yenniku
Mind Vision
See Raptor
Mind Control

While idle, sometimes she'll run to a nearby corpse and fetch back a bone.

I did the quest chain in STV before this little fellow was added while loremastering. I was so sad when it finished and she was trapped in there. I would've taken such great care of her I thought =( wish she was a pet. Went in today to do the HC downed a boss and there the little thing was just waiting for me =) I'm so relieved she's ok =D I did wonder what happened to the lil girl.

Something interesting I've found about the pet that makes my heart break just a little more. The quest "an old friend" saying "shes earned a few scares" isn't just flavor text. Compare the companion with the NPC (Ohgan'Aka) and you'll notice that she dose have small scars around her mouth and large ones along the back of her neck that she didn't have before.

For those of you who don't wish to engage in PvE, you do not need to be present for the Bloodlord kill to be offered the quest. A friend of mine just finished ZG, summoned me in and I finally got this little bugger.

As the last two noted, there currently seems to be an issue with Be Raptor. It, and apparently many other vehicle-based quests, are currently borked. Several Bug Report forum threads already. Advise just picking up the quest and holding it for now. If you get locked into ZG, drop the quest and relog, and you'll be ported to the graveyard outside.

This is officially my favorite pet, ever. I've noticed two interesting things about her, though. 1) The part about her being slightly larger isn't just filler text - she IS a little bigger than the other raptor hatchlings, from what I've seen. 2) She doesn't just pull bones off enemy mobs. When I was standing next to a party member's corpse, little Petshop'aka ran over, and brought me a bone from him. I guess she thought I needed something to remember him by.

Can you guys confirm that this questline will become available after I complete the quests related to Bemba the troll spirit?

What is the 1st quest in STV that will start me on the lashtail path?

For Alliance, Do the following quests at the rebel camp:
-"The Fate of Kurzen" & "Bad Medicine" at 7/7 you'll get the egg fragment & the quest "Just Hatched"
-"Control Sample", "I Think She's Hungry" & "Spared from Madness" (so Osborn can spawn)
-"Deep Roots", while on this the baby will pick up a skull for the quest "Favored Skull" (if you don't get it, relog)
-Do Osborn Obnoticus' quests which lead you to Priestess Thalia
-Do Thalia's 5 quests, ending with speaking to Ghaliri

That's it

Start the quest chain with an alt and once you get the egg you can have both the pre-ZG and post-ZG versions of her out at the same time. In ST that is ofc.
