You mean like Loque and his mate?

Or like the mount-drake? This isn't unique! Just uncommon as heck.
Yes, like them! <3 Aeosera and Aeonaxx.

And Harkoa!
I love that none of them is unique in that. xD It makes me happy that this is an increasing trend.

My particular favorite is hearing Nessingwary talk about Loque. He's more astounded by the mystery of the beast than anything.

I wonder if this means more rares are beta now? Yay!

If she's dropping a mount identical to her, see it that way: you're not killing her, you're "taming" her as a mount. Only you need to defeat her for that, like a Pokemon.

Heh, that's exactly how I see Ziarre's TLPD. He slipped away from me a few times, but I managed to subdue him damnit!

That's a good way to look at it! I also look at death in WoW as a mere temporary setback. Before long any mob you've killed returns safe and sound like nothing even happened.

I think its kinda sad she'd have to die. Her Stormborn title reminds me of Daenarys Stormborn (GoT) and then that dragons her child.. D: Sad to me I dunno if I could kill it, I'd just hope it was BoP and I could buy it.

if this is a rare i think theres a high chance that other rares are implemented maybe if we go to a database we could figure out if there are any in beta aside from Alani

Oh my god, this has got me so excited. Anyone who knows me knows I'm dying for another mount-dropping rare spawn this expansion, and if this is it, I won't be complaining!

Although I'm 100% certain that he mentions Loque as his ultimate hunt in Sholozar, I cannot find the quote, nor a picture. I distinctly remember reading it in one of his dialogue boxes, but I don't remember if it was during a quest, or just regularly, and if the latter, he no longer says it, as I cannot get a dialogue box from speaking to him anymore.

Hmm, I have no recollection of Nesingwary mentioning Loque. D:

Quite honestly, if he didn't say it, there had to have been someone that did, because I vividly remember the Spirit Beast mentioned in a Sholozar dialogue box.

I've done the Sholazar Basin quests from start to finish three times and I've never once caught a mention of Loque'nahak, but, in fairness, I've only done the quests. I've never talked to the NPCs afterwards. If you ever figure out where you read it, let us know! That'd be a neat little detail.

Indeed! We rarely hear of rares being mentioned by NPCs, it would be pretty awesome if Loque'nahak was indeed mentioned at some point!

Rak'shiri is mentioned in either Hemet or Fitz's dialogue out in Nagrand, it's how they joined up together (fairly sure it's Fitz who says it).

I do know about Rak, but I'm positive it was Loque... Though with so many people saying they haven't seen the dialogue, I'm really puzzled as to where I've seen it now... Huh, I'll make sure to post it if I find it.

I logged on to the beta for the first time in around a month (Don't have the patience nor time right now to test.) just to check out this rare. Heck, she's so beautiful. If she really is intended to be a rare spawn, I'll go ahead and assume she'll be mountable like Aeonaxx. She flies around in huge circles, I'm pretty sure she goes around the entire zone! And she flies pretty high most of the time too, it would be difficult to aggro her to the ground. Plus she has a buff which makes her unattackable. I really can't wait to see what happens with this rare!

I personally hope it's a bit like Aeonaxx, where you have to trick-"capture?" her, either by riding her around, or something like that.
