Along Came a Freak Sandstorm…
…And a guildie was awesome enough to let everyone know! I happened to be pet battling my way through Badlands at the time. My luck at rares from rares spawns was a big fat zero until I tried a few times for this lil guy. OMG OMG OMG! YAY! A Silithid Hatchling!
I cannot even explain how exciting this is to me, because even though I am not overly fond of bugs IRL, I have always been fascinated by the Silithid. One of my big wishes is to have been able to participate in the opening of Ahn’Qiraj.
Oh, well. Instead I have my lil Silithid guy! This is the best rare I could have hoped for, battle pet wise! And I named him for the Buggers in Ender’s Game (just like my Hunter’s full size version).

Congratulations, I know just how frustrating and gratifying those captures can be
Yah, all the grey Fluxfire Felines, Tiny Twisters, and Blighthawks are worth this lil guy!

Yay! I love getting those hard to get pets
Yah, you guys are totally to blame for my addiction… That’s my story, and I am sticking to it!

Grats! You have inspired me to quickly login and check for that mythical Miniferal, it may really exist if sandstorms do!
I am sending happy rare pet thoughts your way!

I wish I knew you were taking a Screenie. I’d have gotten there sooner!!!
Aww, that would have been cool! You know, you could always let me feature you on my UR Style series.
Subtle enough? I am not very good at subtle… working on it.
