Humar’s Identity Theft
I ran with Humar the Pridelord as my main pet from level 25 until level 70. I’ve since moved on to other pets but Humar remains in my stable waiting for his chance to come out and get to level 80. Humar is, or rather was, one of those rare pets with a unique skin that had to be camped and fought over in order to tame.
Well, with the release of Wrath, those days of uniqueness are unfortunately over.
Early on in the Sholazar Basin, players run into a quest called The Part-time Hunter that asks you to kill a lion named Pitch. As you can tell from the picture at the top of this post, Pitch is an exact clone of Humar. What a bummer.
I’m sure on most servers, by the time Wrath was launched, Humar was already a pretty common appearance for most players. There were lots of hunters on my server with him for a long period of time although that changed with the release of the last patch with all of the hunter changes.
I was hoping that as Wrath progressed the Humar skin would fall out of favor but I’m not sure that even matters anymore now that the look is available on two separate mobs. We’ll have to wait and see because I really enjoy having a unique looking pet but I also really enjoyed running around with Humar.
