Patch 3.2.2 | Posted: November 24, 2009
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 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.

Seeing these kites soaring above Northrend's shores is a clear sign that tuskarr are nearby.
Used vs strongest dmg opponents (Aquatic), this is a killer pet! Very unique looking as well and so glad, unlike others, that Blizz lowered the height because no one could see it properly before. Biscuits that are used to increase its size make it an imposing presence! It will strike lightning down to you not only in rainy weather but also when you go into fountains, rivers and streams as my lowbie toon found out in Scarlet Monestary! A very fun pet and used wisely, a formidable battle pet! Slicing Wind + FlyBy with the Flying passive ability are an excellent combo with no cds. ATM only 2.7% have this pet and many of the comments are pre 5.2 - would be great to hear from those that use it in battle post 5.2 :)
Quite suprised when one showed up on my AH for 10k...i snagged it! It seems to do well in battles but i need more time with it. Its quite a dratic looking thing!
Update: The thing seems to miss alot in battles :( But wow the lightning strikes! This is fun to run around with!
Will be a battle pet when patch 5.2 goes live! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^
It used to fly high. Now after MoP release it barely flies at the balloon level. :(
Haha love you guys comments!XD
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.
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.
Anyone know if this one also disappears when mounted or swimming like the Dragon Kite?
