"Roaming Colossus" not in game

[victorruan360]

Hi,

I was checking for Aqiri pets on Petopia, and I found one named "Roaming Colossus":
https://www.wow-petopia.com/npc.php?id=51368
The page says it is in old Silithus, but Wowhead says the location of this NPC is unknown:
https://www.wowhead.com/npc=51368/roaming-colossus

I dug a bit deeper, and the only information I can find about this beast is that it was added to the 4.1 PTR (yes, almost 10 years ago), together with some other planned updates for Silithus back them. It seems none of them (including this beast) had made it live though.

I don't know Petopia's policy on keeping entries, but it might be more clear to delete this entry from the website.
This would make the "Hive controller" the unique pet with the "damaged purple silithid colossus" look.

Thanks, and happy pet hunting!

Thanks Victor,

I honestly don't remember now. Maybe it was part of a Cataclysm event that was removed later? I'll remove it from the database now.

Cheers

I actually found a reference to the roaming colossus on this forum!

Yes, it was in the 4.1 PTR as a part of a Silithus revamp. Clearly it never made it live, otherwise the sheer size of this thing would give me more search results on this forum (and elsewhere)!

Thanks, yeah. It looks like you're right!
