"Run, little girl! Run away!"

"SO CUTE!"

Comment by Maizou

So we can have a Worgen companion pet, but when hunters tamed a Worgen, that wasn't okay? O_o

Comment by Illumina4

Looted this in my second raid reset on the PTR.
First raid reset I didn't get the right opera event so technically this dropped on the first attempt.

I put up a small video of the abilities if you want to check it out. Nothing incredibly interesting, but the pet is super cute imo!

Comment by gorden23

One would really think this new rare pet would have a better last ability. Something more like him, perhaps one that would turn his opponent into a little girl?

Comment by Guggaman

Lil' Bad Wolf is taught from Spiky Collar and is looted from The Big Bad Wolf, which is one of the three available Opera Boss Encounters from the level 70 Burning Crusade raid Karazhan.

Lil' Bad Wolf together with other new pets added in patch 5.3 meets the requirement to complete Raiding with Leashes II: Attunement Edition which rewards Tito's Basket that teaches Tito.

Comment by ZerOrbit

This pet is going to be one of the most time-consuming pets required for Raiding with Leashes II: Attunement Edition

Why, you ask? Because there's a random chance for either The Crone (Wizard of Oz), Romulo & Julianne, or The Big Bad Wolf (Red Riding Hood) to be the boss that you will be facing for that week.

For those lucky hunters who managed to tame Garwal before Blizzard classified it as a Humanoid, I highly recommend changing your hunter's race to a Worgen. Just imagine a Worgen Hunter, with Garwal as your hunter pet, and a Lil' Bad Wolf as your companion!

Humanoid Pet with Beast abilities, this guy is going to be GREAT aginst critters :D

Mangle, Howl & Claw, very hand vs Lucky Yi :)

Comment by IceWolfDK

Also Lil Bad Wolf is going to be a monster with Howl and Counterstrike.

Looks awesome with a magical pet biscuit. Frequently lies down and takes a nap when you are not moving.

Comment by 708567

So far I have managed to run 5 toons through kara. 3 of these 5 runs resulted in the red riding hood encounter. All three times dropped the pet. Even though this is still a small sample size that seems too good to be true based on my usual luck, so I'm hypothesizing that it is 100% drop rate as long as you get the right event. If you got this encounter and did not get the pet to drop, please add to the comments so we can see if this holds true.

Comment by ElliotHunts

I named mine Rose after a certain Bad Wolf of renown. :)

Comment by 555434

I can't decide which breed would be the best for this guy's abilities.
The S/S breed would work well with Dodge and Pounce, but it would be redundant to have Claw with those two abilities, so I would use Counterstrike, but Counterstrike would work better with the P/P breed (and that was a run-on sentence!)...
Any thoughts on which breed would best fit this pet's abilities?

EDIT: Can anyone tell me what the base damage tooltip is for a level 25 P/P Claw vs. a level 25 S/S Pounce?

EDIT#2: Thanks Milandas for posting that info!
After many weeks of trying to farm for the P/P breed, I finally decided that the S/S breed that I had was the better choice. I named my Lil' Bad Wolf Monroe.

Comment by zharshoul

Looks like a speed wolf is gonna be the one to get, to better make use of dodge and pounce.

I suppose the attack one could use counter strike and howl.

As other mentioned it will be a pain to get the correct breed. RNG to get the event, RNG to get it to drop, RNG for the correct breed.

Comment by BoTToX

Last week i do the opera event with my 8 caracters, i got 8x Romulo and julianne. This week 8x Oz event with my caraters + 5x Romulo and julianne with my son carac.

Comment by sidhebane

Whose stupid idea was it to have all these pets come in multiple breeds...

Comment by 798023

This will likely be one of the more difficult to acquire of the raiding with leashes 2 pets just owing to the fact that you only have a one in three chance of getting the right boss in the opera event

Comment by sidhebane

Question:
The P/P breed would use the setup Counterstrike (To take advantage of being slow) Mangle (because Dodge is less useful when you're slow) and Howl (because Pounce is, again, less useful if you're slow)

This allows for REALLY HARD Counterstrikes. But... Counterstrike, being the ONLY damaging move in that setup, has a 2-turn cooldown? WHY? Tail Sweep (Which is actually more useful, since you only have to be slower, not actually take damage to activate its extra attack, so it still double-hits if the opponent buffs/shields/heals) has no cooldown. Pounce, which double-hits if you're FASTER, has no cooldown. So why the massive CD on Counterstrike?

Since people have not listed this, and others have merely speculated, Lil' Bad Wolf is taught by Spiky Collar which currently has an 11% drop rate from The Big Bad Wolf during the Opera Event in Karazhan. Hope this helps :D

Comment by ilostmahbucket

Different events for different raid locks. So if you have a bunch of alts, run them all. (ie I got Wizard of Oz on paladin, Romeo and Juliet on mage, same week).

Comment by Icanhaztank

I got two of this guy on the same day, and not really undestanding breeds I sold one on the AH. Luckily for me I kept a S/S one. When I started getting to all the more difficult world battles (spirits, bof) this S/S wolf became my go-to pet in almost every fight. Dodge (usually dodge twice due to speed), Howl, Claw, Claw, gg.

Comment by geekygirlish

This is a pain to get as you have to battle the odds of getting the right "play" and having it drop. I've only had Lil red riding hood once on 6 alts with multiple runs and he didn't drop this. I finally wimped out and bought it on AH.

He is a fine little pet! The only disappointment is he doesn't commit to "howl" like the foxes do. They throw their heads back and let loose! This guy just kinda looks around like "who farted?"

Comment by grundge

I think I found a sure fire way to get the The Big Bad Wolf opera to spawn. The key lies in the fight with Moroes.

I found that if you kill his four named dinner guests that stand in front of him, BEFORE you kill Moroes (and you kill him before he vanishes), that will guarantee the Little Red Riding Hood opera.

I have been testing this for the past two weeks and I have consistently gotten the The Big Bad Wolf to spawn for me, so I think there just might be something to it.

Hope this helps :)

Dr. Who?

Comment by Majorapika

I don't see how people are selling this on the auction house anymore as its BoP now

Comment by 1533088

I want to put my 2 cents in here that this pet is criminally underrated in both PvE and especially PvP. Its Humanoid trait makes soaking damage much easier without a dedicated heal and Dodge is identical to Deflect for negating big hits and baiting status effects. He's got two different 2-hit attacks, Counterstrike for faster enemies, Pounce for slower ones. And I don't even need to talk about Howl as an invaluable utility for bursting down walls. He's got great synergy with the ever popular Celestial Dragon, who can set him up with Moonfire and Ancient Blessing to mitigate his rather lean health pool and enable him to tear through enemies like a runaway train.

This guy can seriously rip the heads off dragons like nobody's business, and I've found that to be extremely useful against a lot players who spam over powered Dragonkin in PvP. I've also been able to comfortably substitute him in for many Anubisath Idol strategy in PvE. I believe he completely eclipses Flayer Youngling as a viable substitute for Anubis in every way. While he's not as tanky, it hardly matters when he's able to blast through a lot of pesky tamers' worst pets in half as many rounds.

I currently use a P/P one with Howl boosted Counterstrike for a massive 2-hits in one that punch through anything that doesn't resist Humanoid like a canon. I used an S/S one with Counterstrike and Pounce for a while, but found that it out sped too many things for Counterstrike to be a reliable 2-hit attack, and while Pounce is great in its own right there are other pets who synergize more, so the slot is better dedicated to Howl. But that's just my opinion! I really recommend getting one and trying him out for yourself. It's become one of my 'go-to' pets for almost any situation.

Feel free to disagree, though I'd rather hear other thoughts on the matter than a simple downvote. I tried to make this comment informative about the pet and it's uses, rather than just regurgitating drop-rate info, so I appreciate feed back.

Comment by Healsbilly

If this is all you need... Originally by JonGhost52 : Quick way to this. Just at the dungeon entrance, take the stairs behind the friendly NPC Berthold the Doorman, go to the Banquet Hall and kill Moroes. Go back towards the dungeon entrance and take the very first passage, next to the friendly NPC Hastings the Caretaker. Progress through the corridor at the top-left, you'll reach The Guest Chambers, turn immediately to the right into the Banquet Hall, and keep goingtowards then round the Opera stage taking the right branch around ; you will arrive below, then behind the Opera stage, speak to the friendly NPC named Barnes The Stage Manager and tell him you are not an actor (this dialogue option is not available if you haven't kill Moroes, instead Barnes tells you something about no shows because of the Moroes situation). He will open the door to the stage and introduce the spectacle ; it is random between several so you may not get the Grandmother each time.

Comment by Aloasa

This took so much time for me to legit get without trade or AH.. not because of bad drops but because the damn Riding Hood opera event didn't came up... until last week when I saw it happened on Sunday, so I tried it again today, and not only did I got that event again, but I also got the pet... and considering every tuesday I seemed to get Oz and Thursdays seem to get R&J... I think is RNG as in the stages are one per day of the week or idk.

Comment by Sodal

Started out with Healsbilly's comment but found some parts which could use some improvement.

(For the Lil' Bad Wolf farm, you first have to kill Moroes, if you don't do that and directly go to talk to Barnes you'll get this message saying Moroes doesn't allow it. Might be necessary to place the cursor in the URL area and hit enter to jump to the right comment.)

Once you're inside the Karazhan instance and have passed through the Gatehouse Door into The Gatehouse, you'll see Berthold straight in front of you. Follow the sets of stairs behind him up into The Grand Ballroom and turn left into The Banquet Hall where Moroes is standing on a slightly raised platform (with some cronies around him).

After killing Moroes, go back down to Berthold and turn left, follow the wall and turn through the doorway on your left. You should see Hastings on your right at this point. Continue following the wall to your left, through the rooms filled with Coldmist Widow spiders. Once you reach the room with Shadowbats and Vampiric Shadowbats, turn left again into a small corridor with two 90° turns, leading up to The Guest Chambers. Take a right turn into The Banquet Hall and make another right turn. Go straight ahead, passing through the Skeletal Ushers, into The Opera Hall and walk into the lowered area below the stage. Follow on through the doorway on the left, turn right and walk behind the stage. Once you can turn right again, you'll see Barnes and you can start The Opera Event, hoping it'll be Red Riding Hood out of the three possibilities. And if it's the right event, hope that Spiky Collar drops.
