General info ►
- ● Elite battle pets are legendary quality (orange) pets with increased health, power and speed. They have a yellow paw print on the minimap instead of the standard green and also have the golden dragon around their item portrait.
● Elite pets always fight alone and they don't move around like normal wild pets. And unlike other wild pets, you can't capture the elite battle pets.
● Elite pets act kind of like tamers: even if you lose the battle, they will quickly respawn for another try. You are also phased out during the battle so other players can't interfere your battle. Also, they are unkillable by players.
● Winning an elite pet will yield the normal Pandaria tamer experience (multiplier 5). The elite pets aren't overwhelmingly difficult to beat so with a proper team, it is possible to carry a lowbie pet along for the experience.
● They are related to the Beasts of Fable quest which becomes available after beating Aki the Chosen. Quest is given by Sara Finkleswitch (Alliance) and Gentle San (Horde).
● After completing the quest, you are awarded the Red Panda. Completing the quest also unlocks the same named daily. The reward from it is Fabled Pandaren Pet Supplies which has a chance to contain one of the remaining new panda pets (Sunfur Panda, Snowy Panda and Mountain Panda respectively). The supply bag can also contain a rare battle stone with a higher chance than from a Sack of Pet Supplies.
