When Pigs Fly

 Somehow, in the commotion of pre-Shadowlands-flying, I forgot about a new toy I found in Korthia, the Forgotten Feather. I guess now I know how it came to be forgotten. 

Flying pets are just a novelty picture prop when you can't fly

Anyway, I tried it out again and it works better than the Magical Saucer did when I used it last (I'll have to try it again to see if they fixed it). The wings don't disappear when you port somewhere else or use wormholes (although my pet did drop them when we went into the Maw). But even if they DO disappear, they only have a 10 second cooldown, so you can run through a bunch of pets to decide which one looks best with wings, and put them back on easily if they fall off during the Maw descent. 

Apparently "Princess" is bad language and wasn't allowed in pet names.

I was excited for my Spirited Skyfoal to finally get the wings she so desperately needed, but they don't fit all pets the same, and it can be a challenge to line them up in pictures so they look somewhat attached. I think Blizzard should have tailored them to one model of companion pet that they worked with, like Perky Pug costumes, but kept in the toy box.

"Don't ask me, I don't get it, either. But they work somehow, so I just wouldn't question it."

Neena Neena Boo-Boo

 As annoying as the abomination factory quests often are, I do generally enjoy collecting new costume pieces for them, and they are sometimes even helpful. To get one of the mounts from a rare, you have to have Neena with you, so I try to keep her with me at all times, as the drop rate is abysmally low, even when you have the correct construct present and kill the rare every day. I wish rarity kept track of my kills on that one, I would like to know how much time I've wasted on it.

I like Neena, though, she has a knockback that is often useful (although I have to keep twisting around while casting so it doesn't get interrupted) and the snorting pig sound she makes is delightful. 13/10, would pet if I could. 

When I did a calling in Revendreth the other day, I didn't pay much attention until I got there and noticed my trainee must also be Neena, because I had two of them with me! It was a lot of fun, and made me realize I should probably play my hunter sometime.
