I was given Green Sporebat.
Sporebats are only found in Zangarmarsh, kind of an odd place for a Pandaren to visit. Still, I like to explore so off I went. I first thought I would tame a young bat since they would be more likely to accept taming. Unfortunately none of them caught my eye, so I decided to try a more aggresive beast: the underbat! (On my way to the dungeon I spotted a beautiful blue fenstrider. I wish I had space to tame him too.)
Once inside I took a look around for the perfect bat. Using my camoflage I made my way past the swamp elementals until I found this guy:

He looked like he was in trouble! I quickly killed the elementals to save him. Oddly he wasn't impressed.

Oh well. I tamed him quickly and got out before more elementals came to stop us.

Back in Pandaria I took a closer look at him...

Honestly, he looks pretty gross. He has warts all over his back and the pretty green on his head melts into dull brown on the tail. However I do like his glowing eyes and his underside which drops little green and pink sparkles. The pink glow on his tail tips is very cute.
For his idle animation he will float about. Sometimes he will make an S shape like this:

His abilities are Spore Cloud which slows enemy casting speed by 50% and Mind Quickening which increases spell haste by 5%. He's kind of a special pet to have two abilities but be non-exotic! Since his abilities have to do with speed, I decided to call him Xun.

Enough staring, time to do some dailies! I respecced him to tenacity and went off to fight some monkeys. He tanked very well while I took my screenshots, hitting the enemies with his tail. His spore cloud looked like a yellow cloud of dust on the floor and made the enemy turn green with poison effects.

Unfortunately if you fight near neutral enemies, spore cloud will make them attack. It's not too much trouble though since he's a good tank for such a light looking beast.

I will be keeping Xun for now because I like his abilities even if he isn't that good looking. However when my goat's stomp ability is fixed I will switch Xun to a dungeon pet instead of a solo pet. Until then he will be in my active group.
