Notes:

This pet is redeemed through the very rare 'Tuskarr Kite' loot card from the World of Warcraft Scourgewar TCG expansion. The card may be scratched to reveal a code allowing a single character 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.

The Tuskarr Kite 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). May not be used while mounted.

Breanni Says:

Ok Tuskarr... I'm confused. I've heard of skinning bears, cats and other animals for armor, but skinning fish for a kite? Incidentally, the Tuskarr Kite flies about as high as its price on ebay. Of course, its fishy scent attracts seagulls, vultures, hordies on wyverns, and other flying vermin. *chuckles* Relax, hordies, I kid, I kid. You know I love you guys. You're some of my best customers, what with my pet shop being located right next to your sector of Dalaran. *winks*

Kites such as this one can be found at Tuskarr settlements around Northrend as decorations.

In terms of appearance and idle animations it's surprisingly simple compared to the dragon kite.

Really looking forward to getting this pet. Running around in Dalaran with after swigging back an Underbelly Elixir I will finally feel like a true member of The Kalu'ak. =]

I wonder if this pet is affected by the wind...

Sometimes lightning will strike this pet and travel down the string and zap your character!

Anyone know if, for instance, i'm in the middle of a cast while i'm fishing and the lightning strikes my kite. Will it interrupt my fishing?

Assuming this is like the Dragon Kite, the lightning will not affect any casting. It may surprise any party members not warned about it but other wise just an animation.
Anyone know if this one also disappears when mounted or swimming like the Dragon Kite?

I was pitying the poor Dragon Kite because it was always so alone, but now it has a buddy up there in the sky! =D
Congratz Dragon kite!

The Tuskarr Kite will disappear if you mount (ground mounts and flying mounts). It will also dismount you if you attempt to summon it while mounted.

You can summon it while in flight form (druids). Instead of floating above you, though, the kite will hover below you. If you are too far above the ground while in flight form, the kite will disappear after being summoned.

As noted by many others, this kite despawns when you mount, just as the Dragon Kite does.

A friend of mine who also happens to be in the gaming industry told me that it likely has to do with character location call functions. The kite is connected by a graphical "string", and when you mount, the approximate anchor point for the character-end of the string changes, creating an error that is (lazily) solved by just programming in a "despawn-on-mount" function.

My mom went to the store and there was only one pack left. On Christmas morning she told me when I was opening it I saw this card. My Second loot card over $100.

I was still standing by Landro, having just gotten my Tuskarr Kite last night, when I got struck by lightning. My wife could see the flash, and hear the thunder-effect, all the way over at the bank in Booty Bay!

The Tuskarr Kite has a little glowing candle-effect inside the fish's mouth.

In Japan, on Boy's Day, families fly a large carp-looking flag for every son in the family. This is much like that.

When you have this pet out you can see other players run past you, come back and run off again... You just know they saw it, are like "What on earth is that thing", they come back, realise how scary it looks and run off...

I tried running off, but it follows me D:

The Tuskarr are the fishing experts. The kite looks like a fish. You CAN fish with it out. So...

It would be cool if this increased your fishing skill while you had it out... pleeease?!?!? Just 5 points or so :D

It could be the first pet to increase a skill. They could make a pet for each profession. That would be cool.

When it gets struck by lightning it is fairly showy and bright!

Not only does this pet despawn when you mount, but also in certain areas or when jumping/falling long distances. For example running over the hole in the floor before Blood-Queen Lana'thel, or if you get too close to the icy pillars in Lich King's room.

This pet DOES indeed have sound contrary to the information posted. It sounds like it is flapping in the wind. It is quiet so you have to turn up your sounds and/or ambiance.

As the Kalu'ak do not have a tabard this would make an awesome substitute. Such a shame they don't put it in as one..
