Daniel Howell contributes BigRedKitty, a column with strategies, tips and tricks for and about the Hunter class, sprinkled with a healthy dose of completely improper, sometimes libelous, personal commentary.
Dear Elune, NO! Not Sporebats!
Yeah, Sporebats. It's on the list, so we must do a movie. Spore Cloud isn't the worst thing ever, but it's bugged good and solid.
Wind Serpents got buffed, and not in a way you probably think! Lightning Breath rocks as always, just even more so.
Yes, we've already done a Worm movie, but as we get closer to WotLK release, we're finding it harder and harder not to show you some of the new skins in Northrend. Thus, for your viewing pleasure, we present The Worm, part II, and let Acid Spit shine.
Spit! Shine! Spit shine! That's a joke, son, ya missed it! Flew right by ya!
You are invited to download the YouTube version (59MB) of this movie here, and the full-sized version (89MB) here.
As always, a great big Thank You to the WoW Insider editors for allowing us to publish this movie both here and on our little blog at the same time!

I'm hoping they fix the Sporebats before Wrath goes live. They all look awesome, but a Cunning pet with a lackluster ability just solidifies their place as the joke pet of World of Warcraft. Ah well. That's one pet I'll be scratching off my five for Wrath.

I think you are forgetting here that the sporebat ability is AOE. It affects multiple mobs so is a mini gorilladin. Now doesn't that sound alot better?

I wish he would take on mobs his level or above so how the pets handle. It just doesn't seem to pose a challenge when the pet is hitting mobs at lower levels than the pet.

Sporebats look awesome and I don't care what you say.
I hate you, BRK!
.... At least until you do another useful thing...

Don't forget, the Sunder Armor debuff from the worm upgrades at level 80... it stacks to around ~4,980

I LOVE SPOREBATS, they are my favorite pet!
How can you be so mean and cruel to them, they are cool and strong and cute and unique. Poor Sporible.
You are still cool tho.

That worm armor debuff is awesome!
The worm looks great too. Where did he come from?

Do Tallstriders next BRK! Have they become epic battle-turkeys in wrath?! Keep up the great movies!!

Could you please please please do one on a Nether Ray?

Ahh.... You know the wind serpents only backed away from a mob to use lightning breath when the mob was stunned or otherwise locked in place right? I didn't see any abilities that would cause that condition, so is this really fixed, or was it not a complete test?
