Burning and smoldering Lowland Manashell / "Tortos"

[zazomazzo]

Hi there,

my Lowland Manashell Pet started to burn and smolder like lava and I dunno why.
Last thing I remember was doing Worldquests in Azsuna near Illidari Perch.
Has anyone seen something like that? Is it a known "feature"? Is it a simple bug? Is it a "secret"?

Some facts:

• It's not a local "display bug". It's visible to other players.
• It's permanent not temporary.
• Logging out doesn't fix it.
• Exiting the game doesn't fix it.
• Switching specs doesn't fix it.
• Dismissing/calling doesn't fix it.
• When using Essence Swapper Hati is using the normal Manashell Model.

You're not the only hunter I've seen or read about that has a problem like this. Either the pet is burning or it has insects floating around it. One thing I've been wondering about is if entering an Arena match would wipe out those appearances like it does for Oil-Stained wolves and the likes? I've been lucky enough so far to not have been afflicted with that problem so I can't test it myself.

Ok, today it disappeared after doing the Worldquest-Scenario Withered Army Training
Now I'm kinda sad because I got used to it.

I believe scenarios remove buffs just like arenas and timewalking does. I noticed this the other day on my one hunter. She had an agility buff from food that was removed as soon as she got into the scenario. I suspected it was intended.
Even the crystal of insanity buff was removed.
Sorry it lost it.
