this pet is rather interesting, i wonder what animation's it uses but judging from the flavor text i would guess that it randomly spins up and dig's down below the earth like a mole for some time.

i hope that they will give it Powerball instead of Overtune before it releases.

Obtained as a quest reward for completing the 6.0 Blasted Lands quests, which culminate in Report to the King (Alliance) and Warning Orgrimmar (Horde).

This little guy is a miniature version of the Iron Star in the Garrosh fight in Siege of Orgrimmar. ~~He may not have an Explosion pet battle ability, but keep a close eye on your toes when he's out!~~

He can now Explode!

The naming process was a collaborative effort on Twitter.

~~The tweet could be interpreted in two ways: Nameless "Engineers" have crafted this item that we can obtain OR it will be craftable BY Engineers.~~ Apparently it was crafted by engineers, most likely Garrosh's lackeys.

With Extra Plating AND Repair both available, this thing is going to be able to pretty much destroy Xuen in the Celestial Tournament.

Now if only we had a Lil'mannoroth pet... These two need a rematch!

Comment by 1032025

Just picked up this guy on the ptr. It is very noisy when "running" to catch up when I used sprint or mounted for example.

Should be fixed as of 6.0.3

Comment by regma

A bit surprised it doesn't have Explode or Armageddon

(Note: During beta, this pet did not have Explode. And this post was posted during that time)

Comment by Hamburgla

This would be even cooler if they applied it to the farm as a garden hoe kind of thing. Being able to root up all the bad weeds and milling the soil so you can plant new herbs.

Comment by Klaital1

I really hope thats not its final ability set, as not only does the current ability set make absolutely no sense thematically to the pet, its also direct copy of de-weaponized mechanical companion and tiny harvester.

Comment by Dementron

This is the only pet I can remember seeing that can have both Supercharge and Wind Up. I really want to use this against beast-type elites now. Wind Up, switch to another pet, Stampede (or the like) until dead, switch back, Supercharge, Wind Up again, and BAM! Around 222 base damage in one hit (or 167 vs. an Elite). Whether or not it's the most efficient way to win, it would at least be entertaining.

Comment by Magnusmalum

Since this pet is from a prepatch quest... so very limited time, it will be incredibly valuable later on to collectors who missed it. ASSUMING it is cage-able, then I'd recommend doing this quest chain on every toon you have that can. the most you can make use of is 3, the rest will be nice to sell later on in wod or later expansions.

Comment by gemini78

yes its Cageable!

i'm so gonna be doing this quest on all alts :D

Comment by Weriik

Blizzard's gift to us H Garrosh ironstar kiters so that our PTSD may follow us everywhere.

Comment by GhoulGreybeard

There are more than one breed available. I just received #8 P/S.

Comment by dillybar

This pet's sound is like that of a train going by next door to where you are standing.

Comment by lordlight

You can get more than one of these. Each 90 you do the quest on obtains the pet and they are sellable and cagable.

Comment by 526086

I can verify this pet does come in a P/P variety.

Enjoy!

Comment by Akher

Can someone tell me the breeds that pet has? And the best one, maybe? :O

Comment by BrightBrown

Uh, just got to the King to turn it in... mmmm, I can NOT select the pet... how come? (Alliance mage)

Comment by 1062708

This is NOT BoP, so you can hold onto one for sale after they are lo longer available.

If you mail it to a bank toon make SURE you have the "send mail" window open and not the "read mail" window. If you have "read mail" open and then click the pet to put it in the mail you will learn it instead.

Comment by Guanyin

Wind-Up, Supercharge, Wind-Up... Jesus what a combo. Throw in a howl and we might just have ourselves the heaviest hitting single attack yet.

Tested on a crunchy scorpion without crouch, using the P/P breed level 25 Starlette, an Alpine Foxling at really low health and a Mr. Wiggles at really low health. I used Wind-Up, swapped to my piggie, spammed Uncanny Luck until it died. The Foxling required 2 hits to kill it, so I used Dazzling Dance and Howl. It died directly after, so I had 3 turns of Uncanny Luck and 2 turns of Howl. My Starlet was all that was left now, ready for the real test. Wind-Up was still active so I used Supercharge and Wind-Up again. The result was a staggering 8595 crit.

they see me rollin....

Comment by ToviValdora

Seems like some are more rare than others or I'm just unlucky.

I have 18 90s and I have received a lot of the 155 12/10 pets. I have one each of the 152 12/11 and 14/10 pets.

Just curious if anyone else is seeing this.

Comment by Kliamovich

I have yet to see this pet as Breed #6 H/H

Edit: Found one today on the AH going for 10k, seems to be a very rare breed

Comment by Aliandrin

You want the tanky breed that grows up to have 1725 health. These are currently selling for 5k gold on Illidan (a high-populated server) and will only rise as they become unavailable. If you got the 11/10 breed, do not sell it short (or at all imo), because you just hit the jackpot.

First, the Wind Up + Supercharge + Wind Up is going to be instakill regardless. You don't need the 341 attack. Even Explosion will hit for more, since it deals damage based on health. 1725 is enough health to survive three hits from almost any pokemon currently in the game. With this combo (unless the opponent can evade) you do that, and you win.

Secondly, and a minor point, the steel-type resurrection goes on a percentage of your health. You want high health so you don't get one-shot afterwards, gleaning two free turns instead of one. Unless you're killed quickly, you just got another Wind Up off.

I'm showcasing the proper min-max of this incredibly overpowered pet in hopes that he makes his way into the meta. If he does, magic-types may become viable due to their anti-one-shot racial.

Comment by r32stance

I currently have 4 H/H breeds 1 lvl 25 and 3 lvl 1's find me on illidan if interested in them! it also took me buying over 100 unopened pets to find this breed and out of all 100 i only scored 3 H/H breeds. someone was telling me there's about a 0.03% chance of obtaining it. not sure if that's true. btag murkalot#1411

Comment by MRTF

I can imagine how many people were fooled that this was a limited time pet lol.

It's still obtainable for those who want it for free. So don't get scammed by stupid rumours.

I personally love this pet, but I have to admit that most people here are exaggerating how good this pet really is. If you know how to play, you'll find out many ways to easily counter this pet.

Comment by Gwez

It's been rumored that this pet was to be removed in Legion: it's false (at least as of july 2016 on either beta and PTR). This has been a common mistake since the Tanaan intro quest to Draenor and the Blasted Lands quests that reward this pet are mutually exclusive: you can't have both at the same time. Since template characters are popped in capital cities and there the quest for Draenor is auto-accepted this has lead to the confusion, because players checking the NPCs would see no quest available. Once you have completed the Tanaan intro quests or if you abandon it, you're able to take and complete the quests and obtain the Iron Starlette.

Comment by Rhaegaron

AKA Fluxfire Feline pre-nerf.

Comment by Banndayd

The 6.0 Blasted Lands quests are still working. The results are a level 1 rare pet. Now to Pandaria to get this leveled. According to Preheet, a great pet to battle the Giant Opaline Conch.

Comment by Maahk

I've verified that this is still obtainable on the Horde side via the quest chain as of 9.0.1.

The quest chain starts at the Shattered Landing in the Blasted Lands with Thrall.
If you are at max level, the quest will be too low to show up if you have trivial quests disabled, but if you walk up to him and interact with him, you will be able to accept the quests. Important to note, the quests did NOT show up for me on a lower level character while in WoD Chromie Time, but worked fine on a lvl 50 character.

Once completing Thrall's quests, the chain will continue with Rokhan, and after several other fast quests (at max level) you'll be able to complete the chain with Saurfang in Orgrimmar.

Comment by Thorwen

Still one of the most useful battle pets, even in Shadowlands.

Comment by whiskeyneat

Still possible as of 10.1.5 -- though it took me a LOT of reading comments and doing things wrong before I finally stumbled on what I needed almost by mistake.

There are a lot of good leads in the comments, but I am exceptionally good at abandoning quests and then trying to find them again many months later.

So. If you're like me, and if you're not able to find the NPCs/quests to get your Iron Starlette, please make sure you check your faction's Shattershore camp in present-day Blasted Lands in the Eastern Kingdoms.

Shattered Beachhead for Alliance.
Shattered Landing for Horde.

They are both on the east coast. And -- again -- this is present day, not jumped back in time.

I did a whole lot of stuff that was probably not necessary (see below) before I finally found Vindicator Maraad in Shattered Beachhead and was able to grab the "Attack of the Iron Horde" quest that gets things rolling.

I can't remember what the Horde version is called, but if you're near to tearing out your hair trying to figure this out, check those camps. 😊❤️

**********

For background, since I read a number of comments that mentioned other questlines that might interfere with being able to find the correct NPCs and access the quests:

The character I did this with is Alliance and level 70 (current max).

She's got the Heart of Azeroth, though I don't think she's completed any BFA content after that.

She completed the intro to Warlords of Draenor and did also establish her garrison, but that's where I left off with her.

I also used Zidormi to jump back in time in order to do the three Blasted Lands zone questlines, thinking that might be the key to it. No idea if those matter in the least for this purpose. (Edit: I was ultimately able to complete the Iron Starlette questline on two alts who haven't done all this stuff, so if there's anything that might interfere with progression, it's not something I bumped into.)

All that stuff came before I stumbled on the faction camp where I found the correct quest.

Comment by ParkerD

I just got mine. I hadn't done any WoD on that toon so I started with Vindicator Maraad in Shattered Beachhead. Had to do the local kill 10 rats to move through successive quest chains. Next, met Maraad at the crater at the cross roads. Completed Lunatic LTs, etc. until he ran out of quests. Then I had to go through the portal and complete the foothold in Garrison, (Shadowmoon, Draenor). When I came back, Maraad gave me a couple more errands before he sent me to the king for the pet. It took a while but at least it was kind of a starlight line.
