Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? Because we'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing. And please, no more sunsets. No, really. Ok, only if it's a sunrise in new Patch 2.4 lands. We'll take those anytime.

maybe someone drug a pit commander from the portal all the way to shatt?

It was at the end of beta event for the Burning Crusade beta test. They had Doomwalkers patroling outside Ad'al's chamber and Pit Lords and Kazzaks inside, along with Thrall and the Tauren leader (forgot his name) who were kicking ass with Ad'al (and he does some serious damage :P )
It was fun. :)

That's an awful long way to kite a boss. I bet its the devil's work!
-dinosaurs were put there to test our faith (quote from my friend's crazy mom)

This shot was not end of beta. Champion of the Naaru was not available in beta. Most likely he was kited from The Dark Portal.

agreed - that and there are several nether drakes being flown around.

Ah, you're right. I wasn't paying attention obviously. Ignore me. :)

Their is one enslavable pit lord out in outlands I usually use him to destroy flagged horde or alliance at a nearby meeting stone. Anyway enslave him, mount up ride to Shatt and release.
It's a sight to see a tiny gnome with a pit lord in tow....

Where is said Pitlord? I gotta arrange that with some of my lock buddies.

@Vestras
I'm not a lock, so I cant test myself-- but I assume it's either the one in the camp in SMV (Legion Hold I think it's called) or the one from the Dark Portal like people were saying above.

It might be the one from SMV; he was previously enslaveable, but now isn't. The one at the Dark Portal likewise isn't enslaveable. If there is one around that's still capable of being enslaved, feel free to post the location.
You can still enslave elite demons around the Dark Portal and in some of the Forge Camps in Outland, but I've never been able to nab a Pit Lord.

I don't really want to give up the location of the pit lord in question. It's how I plan to boycott the 2.4 warlock lifetap nerf. It's near a major quest hub for both alliance and horde as well as several end game instances. I'll just sit out there all day killing mindlessly.
I have a 70 lock on both factions :) should be fun.
Their 2 pit lords in SMV one is immune to all CC including enslave, banish and fears. The other can be crowd controlled but may be immune to enslave now.

Well, nothing to explain here. Probably someone kited an elite mob to Shattrath to ensue general mayhem and possibly try to kill A'dal as well. Rumor has it that A'dal was fairly week in the old days, but that he got buffed and now hits for more than 100,000 damage. Wowinsider published a similar picture of a Fel Reaver sitting on the Terrace of Light: http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/09/12/adal-is-prepared/
This picture is from the Laughing Skull realm by the way.

Probably just a Throne Guard Champion. I kite these to Shat and Thrallmar quite often. I lol when he fear bombs the Aldor bank XD
