Moonfang

Post by Szamboti » September 15th, 2014, 8:32 pm

At the very end of a wild pet battle, the word "Moonfang" came up(in orange letters) in the middle of my screen, just after the notification that my pet had leveled up. The word "Moonfang" also came up in my chat (in yellow letters). The pet that had leveled and was also the last pet to battle was my Dread Hatchling. Can anyone explain what this was?

Did you fight on Darkmoon Isle? Moonfang is a worldboss there.

Moonfang had just spawned on Darkmoon Isle, you get a zone-wide announcement when she does.

Moonfang is a DM boss that shows up on one side of the island. It drops the pet Moon Moon. You have to kill the non-elite wolves, then elite wolves, before Moonfang will show herself. You get a message like 'Moonfang is in the woods' or something when she spawns.

Thanks for all the theories so far, however this happened just before I posted and so the Darkmoon Fair had ended the previous day. This was the weirdest thing. Because it happened at the end of the battle, just after the notification that my Dread Hatchling had leveled to 25, I thought for a moment that I had won something. Checked my bags and nothing there... still have to run through my pets and check for an addition. Again, just the word "Moonfang", in orange letters, in the center of the screen, where all the other pet battle notifications are. It stayed on the screen for at least 20-30 seconds. And also in my chat, but in yellow letters. I sure would like to solve the mystery... ;)

Are you using any addons? It could be an addon that was somehow triggered when your pet leveled to 25, or maybe an addon not playing so nice with the Blizzard UI/warnings.
