As you know, I recently managed to get Lil’ Tarecgosa and as part of my appreciation, I left a few gifts with some members in Shadow Rising. But what do you get the guy who has all the pets? Well, that’s not entirely true… I did try and get him the Searing Scorching since I knew he was missing that for a while – even doing some of the dailies. In fact, it was one of two pets I religiously looked up (the other for Navi) every time I made a trip to the AH on any server I happened to be on. The pet was intended as a Winter Veil gift but with time running out, it didn’t eventuate.

So with this latest venture, as I levelled a toon on his home server, I tried to think of another way I could reciprocate – the Crawling Claw. I’ve been lucky enough to have mine for a long time now but since I didn’t make the money back in time, I considered doing some more archaeology in the hopes of getting another one. However, soon after I started digging for another claw (mostly through trade-ins to Braun) it brought back memories of farming the Vial of the Sands, the two bug mounts and my own Claw discovery.

In the end, I was able to make quite a bit of gold, selling off some pets but I also wanted to supplement the gift with something pet-related. After Christmas, I was lucky enough to get another Pandaren Fire Spirit which I sent to Arv saying that I knew he already had one but could probably try selling it to get some of the gold back. Little did I know, he gave the pet to Lyss instead.

It turns out that Lyss lucked out and managed to get not one but TWO pets as I originally gave her my Pandaren Water Spirit – with a matching one to Slice.

So the question remained… what do you get the guy who has all the available pets?

How about turning him into a superhero for a night? I had a suspicion he was a Batman fan so taking that on board, I went back to my original Batman interpretation as part of my Warcraft Supers series and tweaked it using Arv’s toon.
