Around Azeroth: Freaks flock together
Mmm ... suspiciously pink meat. Drakhen of Live By Honor on Kalecgos (US-H) snapped this photo of new mom Mazzranache strutting around Mulgore with her brood. It amuses me to think that while all the developers were busy designing raid encounters and huge dragons and whatnot for Cataclysm, there was one loner sitting in a cubicle thinking, "Gee, I love my pink tallstrider so much. Let's give her a family!"

Now if only you could tame them all and have them stay at scale.

Oh, I just took a pic of them, too, and was going to send it in, lol! I like how the very last one is even smaller than the first three.

Ah I remember that mob. Provided me needed skinning skill-ups when my druid abandoned Mining-Eng for Skinning-LW

Hey now, Mazz is famous! It's the mascot for Mania's Arcania, the blog end of Petopia.

Pro Tip: Mazzranache is actually a male. Not a female.

Um, how can you TELL?

From the quest related to him: http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26188
He was as terrible as my grandfather described.

Well, Grandfather was WRONG! Probably didn't have his glasses (was always losing them or forgetting them somewhere! And he never did finish his basic biology courses in school).

Some males of various species (including birds) parent.

The bird-family is.... the word...?... I'm not very good at this.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww, I hadn't seen this yet! Mazz is one of my favorites. My Tauren hunter alt has a tamed version named Maizie.

My name is Brahken now I guess. When I took this picture I was just flying over to do the fishing daily and Mazzy set off my NPCScan. I went to find and kill her, but then I saw this. I couldn't kill her after seeing this.
Drahken May 22nd 2011 2:10PM
I also had Mazzie as a pet. My first was the boar they made you go tame at 10, before they just handed pets out at the start. Mazzie was the second and I loved her. I had her for so long, until I started taming Spirit Beasts and needed stable space. (My third was a ghost saber I tamed at level 19, who's still my main pet to this day.) When the newer larger stables opened up, I went and retamed her. I couldn't have done it now that she's a mother. Also, once again, Drahken, not Brakhen.

Trivia: If you fearbomb or otherwise aggro the chicks, they'll all run away like critters...except Spazzranache the tiniest of the brood. Make him mad and he goes for the ankles.

/noise only dogs can hear
Mazzaranche, you and your little brood are ADORABLE. That makes my day.
