Rolls into a protective ball when it feels threatened. Or when its mother calls.
I agree with Aguiaazul - I ended up with an H/S on my first roll and that's what I'm stuck with now. Super sadness!
@Miauzinha are you sure you used a blue upgrade stone? Or... that that is the only pet you captured?
I just have used a critter battle stone on him (mine is green quality) and it didn't become blue quality. Is it a bug?
Deeprun tram on the Stormwind side is great for this. I grabbed a guildie and we each took a side. Got the last couple thousand rats in an afternoon.
Plus any time someone asked what I was doing I just said "Killin rats." Nothing funnier than a gnome monk spinning around over hundreds of dead rodents.
This, and the Stone Armadillo are probably 2 of the ugliest pets on looks alone, but now that I have them I adore them. They make the CUTEST noises on click and during battles. And rolling up in a ball is super cute too. Battle wise, we'll have to see :)
Thank you for the info, I will try it.
Go to Ihgaluk Crag on Isle of Thunder and squish roaches, and you can solo this achieve. You should be able to kill 300-400 roaches every 15 minutes or so.
@aguiaazul: The Stone Armadillo can have the same breeds as the Armadillo Pup and both have the same abilities, so whichever breed you don't get from the Armadillo Pup can be picked up via the Stone Armadillo.
As a collector, I personally like to get specific breed of my pets, and on the case of this little guy, I find it very upsetting the fact It has two possible breeds and you are stuck with wichever one you get first. You cant buy a second one (you can only have one) and you can't abandon your current one either. Blizzard should think a little more before doing something like that.
After trying the epl cave, zg and the sheep and being in a semi small guild (50ish) and me being about the only pet collector in my guild, theres a sweet spot in Krasarang Wilds http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58883 (feverbite)"elite" spider that calls upon a load of critters, i used my mage kept poly on it and killed the critters, surrounding trees also have critters much better wit 2, 1 tank the spider other kill critters surrounding the tree. Only took a few hours.
i never noticed it before, but mine is also showing as an Uncommon in my pet window, though the guild vendor and website list it as rare
My armadillo pup is green, not blue, in the battlepets viewer. However, on the armory under my collection, it still shows as blue! Is this a glitch?
So now with patch 5.0whatever I have this pet available to me from a diff toon, opposing faction, diff server. I'm having to rethink my WHOLE strategy on pet collecting. :/
Fyi, armory update is no longer a viable way to update one's collection here :(
Anyway, it's FILLED with buggies to kill. My baddie and I walked through spamming AOEs and went from 800 to 2300 in an afternoon. Another good place is the deeprun tram. the rats re-spawn really fast there.
....and what's 14 hours to a pet hunter?
sorry i suck at spelling...
