This is possibly the coolest pet I've found, well, ever. Brightly-coloured silithid colossi have nothing on this guy.

Wandering Mt Hyjal I came across a rare spawn fiery turtle named Terrorpene. He's a miniature of Nemesis, the twisted fiery turtle beast that the Twilight Cultists made from a piece of Tortolla. And yes, he's tameable, and he's in the turtle family:

He does a lot of damage during the tame. At 85 I only just got him before I would have died. But that was because I wasted a freezing trap and didn't want to risk waiting!

Fire drips from his mouth and spouts from his smoking horn constantly. He looks like a turtle and a core hound decided to make a baby.

I found him wandering the lava areas of Sulfuron Spire / Throne of Flame in southern Mt Hyjal, here on the map:

YAY! Thanks for the find! I can't wait to nab this guy.

Is he a rare elite that is included in some sort of stupid Cata-Frostbitten achievement? That would stink for hunters...

Haw haw haw, his name is a morph of the word "terrapin", which are turtles in brackish water. Crafty Blizzard, didn't think I'd spot that. =)

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was the only pun with his name, or if there was a second, very scary innuendo in there was well ;)
