Phoenix Hatchling caught on video

I'm so excited about this pet that it's getting silly. Last time on "Tiny Phoenix Obsession," we discovered that it's acquired as a drop from Kael'Thas, in his incarnation as the final boss of patch 2.4's 5-man Magister's Terrace, and speculated that it's probably a pretty rare drop. WOWDB has it at a 1% drop rate, apparently in both normal and heroic mode, although it doesn't say how many kills that's based on.
Now we have in-game video! It's just as appealing as its picture, and I really like the fiery aura that surrounds it. And that calm, confident hovering...I must have it! Look out, Kael'Thas, the day 2.4 goes live I'm coming after you, and I'm taking your cute little fiery bird. Are you prepared?

Is it just me, or does it look more like a glowing parrot then a phoenix?

It's the model for Swift Flight Form.

It's a glowy pet .. so it will even look good at night time in your favourite capital city!!
The Consortium need to get their act together. Why pay 40g for a Mana Wyrmling? No-one will see that in the dark!

It's cute, but I don't think anything will ever replace my Wolpentinger. I just hope it's a rare enough drop that these things don't flood the server.

yes, but only people in your party can see your wolpentinger :)

I've seen it on the PTR: it dropped in a run that I did in the Magister's Terrace. Sadly, I didn't win the roll.
I can tell you it looks pretty cool (or hot, I suppose).

lol @ Alextrebek
Stupid looking pet, imo. I don't see why it's getting so much hype.
