MailFrom Dragon ValorI would like to offer a solution to your trouble getting this. Since phasing wasn't introduced until Wrath, I think you were instead having trouble with the CRZ... I had a similar problem with quite a few Outland pets. Keep up the good work, guys! ^.=.^ (Happy dragon!!!!)-Dragon Valor From Fredthebold of Twisted EmpireHello Friendly Hosts, I keep seeing references in posts and add ons about a pet being S/S or P/S or something else and I have no idea what that means. I'm fairly certain you would have addressed this before but well I can't seem to dig up the answer in my admittedly feeble search attempts.  Also, can the same pet have different stats when you catch it in the wild? I found a guide that says I need a fox with a certain speed, don't they all have the same stats? Thanks for the enlightenment and entertainme
