Loot code required.
This pet is redeemed through the extremely rare 'Kiting' loot card from the World of Warcraft March of the Legion TCG expansion. The card may be scratched to reveal a code allowing access to this pet. The code may be redeemed at Blizzard's promotion retrieval page. The pet may be obtained in-game from Landro Longshot in Booty Bay.
It may be struck by lightning that travels down the tether and shocks the owner, creating an interesting visual, but doing no damage. Lightning strikes occur about once every 10 minutes (2 minutes when raining).
Like the Worg Pup, the Dragon Kite may change its color (black, blue, green, or red) each time it's summoned.

While this isn't so much of a pet as it is, well... a kite, it still makes a great companion. Much like that darn Mechanical Yeti, this pet also mocks my small size. Heck, this pet even dwarfs a Tauren — this thing is ginormous!
(IE... trades, flasks/food in raids, escorting, etc)
This pet can be on the Black market auction house
That's right, this is one of, if not the only, pet that despawns when you mount. Kind of sad, in a way. I'd love to see it trailing behind someone moving full tilt on a 310% mount.
I just got mine today, mine is showing S/S on Petjournal Enhanced but based on the stats it's a B/B breed, glitch with the mod or did they remove the other breed of kite with 5.2?
This pet is the only hard counter/double counter in the game for Beast, which is nice to have against the late bosses in Panda, because almost all of them have a Legendary Beast in their team.
it's still not a battle pet ><
Update: It has been hotfixed,it's now battle pet now.
Just won one on the BMAH for 115k. It stands above a raiding party and flaps beautifully in the wind. It changes colors every couple minutes. Awesome.
As of 2/16/13 it looks like they've fixed the color change for the Dragon Kite. I've been bouncing from place to place and every time it pops up with me it's changed colors! Hurrah!
I've been wanting this little pretty for some time and finally got lucky with a random booster pack. YAY!
Very surprised that there's 2 different breeds of these.
From what I can tell, the only reported are S/S and B/B. Unless there is another that is super rare, I believe these would be the only two, or else we would have seen reports by now.
So I happened to have 2 of these guys in my journal and discovered they come in 2 different breeds. Is this a bug or intended? Can anyone else confirm a 3rd breed? I have a S/S and a B/B
as of 5.1 they removed the colour changing animation as well as the lightning bolt animation................................................. and the kite is way bigger , takes up alot of your screen making it hard to target stuff with it out..... was told by a gm that the changes were made to make the pet battleable.... truthfully i would rather it not be a battle pet to have back its uniqueness... now its just another lame kite like the others .................................................
Just bought this now from the AH - 67k which i didnt think was too bad - its huge, even bigger with a pet biscuit - well worth the gold :)
Not sure when the fix went live, but this pet does now battle. It also will fly along with your flying mount. The pet battle animations seem a little wonky though, not sure if thats intended.
I still havent had this guy switch from the Onyxia colours since 5.1. I really hate this, it was the thing I really loved about this pet. If it's a bug I really hope it gets fixed. :(
As of 5.1, this pet is more animated than it previously was.
The animations have certainly been sped up. For example, it's tail whips around in the air quicker than before, and it flaps it's wings more often. However, it also no longer resembles an actual kite. It does not float up in the air anymore, and instead waddles behind you on the ground.
I love the sped-up animations, but I dislike the fact it no longer floats.
Prices for the dragon kite have gone way up--it will battle in the new patch 5.1!!! I wish the Tuskarr kite would battle too, I love them both :(
I just got this yesterday! It is super cool. Sometimes doesn't resummon when u dismount but one of my faves!! it's important to note it doesn't battle though : (
