Unusual Bat- Trained Jibberwing

I remember noticing this once before but I forgot to post it. I got bored enough to go on a random taming spree and tamed this weird little bat again.
Originally this bat is carrying around npcs on its back and in its's claws. These drop off after taming but for some reason this bat seems to fly a lot lower than other bats. It flies like a normal bat until you start walking or running where it flies so low as to sink partially into the ground. It has this problem even on flat surfaces. This behavior continues after resummoning and death.

I'm toying with the idea of naming Tahl's after some sort of vacuum cleaner, since it likes to ground-surf all the time.

Roomba?
I hadn't realized this one was bugged. I'll let Noah know, since it's obviously a bit weird

Awww...Wain! I find the little guy's odd habit endearing. Could he still please hang out - kinda low? It seems like some folks don't like bats always up in their faces, and I'm one of them. It'd be nice to have the option of a lower-sitting version of the pet.

Yes, please don't take away my floppy eared landbat. I finally have the perfect pet for my undead.

Kun-Lai Summit.
Huh. I don't remember ever coming across those when my chars went through Kun Lai. Are they easily accessible or do you have to wait on a hillside for some to fly nearby?
I'm gonna have to tame one of them. It'll be either Hoover or Electrolux.

I got mine by writing a macro to target the bat, then cast distracting shot to bring it to land. Then I hung out over the highest bit of land I could find that was on their route, to minimize the falling damage, flew around till the bat came by, popped the macro to auto-dismount mid-air, and hit tame as soon as I hit the ground and he got close enough. It hurt some, but I got my bat. And for his name, Dyson is currently the front-runner...that, or Landshark.

Aww, I remember these guys from beta! I didn't realize the model was different, though.

Just grabbed one and named him Downunder. I'm not a bat fan but definitely want this bit of silliness for however long it lasts!
