Finding Gara
I haven’t engaged on a good Rare Pet journey since I tamed Gondria all those years ago in Zul’Drak. I made a few half-assed attempts in Firelands and was always looking out for the Flaming Turtle in Hyjal, but I never really tried. Gara, however, is another matter. This beastie was put there for nobody but Beast Master Hunters. How could I not?
Of course, since I’m not a mighty theorycrafter, beta baron, or suffering from delusions of adequacy, I relied on this guide, which Tome reminded me about long after I had forgotten it.
Ironically, the most difficult part of this was the newbie area … Frostfire Ridge. WoWHead to the rescue once again, explaining the seemingly single route into that place from friendlier lands. Oddly, once I got in there, it was somewhat easier than Shadowmoon to navigate.
The final battle didn’t even require me to dismiss my pet, so I was able to beat Xan into a pulp, then dismiss my attack!kitty, and tame me up a nice pet.
As you are no doubt aware, I am a deeply abiding fan of InfosecTaylorSwift, so I named my new friend in honor of her most recent videyo character. Maybe I’ll continue the streak by naming my fire turtle Arsyn. Whaddya think?

I know I Spirit Beasted myself out by camping for Loque’nahak for about four levels. This was such a nice change. Hello Catastrophe!

Yeah, I camped Cheezburger (nee Gondria) for weeks. And the DON’T SCREW THIS UP adrenaline rush when I saw him was amazing.
