Zarakh the Giant?

[Fael]

I've seen the bug now and again where while going into an area or upon it being summoned I see an ENORMOUS pet that then shrinks down to it's normal size, usually the Devilsaurs. Around February I saw a massive spider in Dalaran that then ran about the place after its owner and it didn't shrink down. It was a red spider, unique in that it can only be obtained by taming Zarakh.
I've been curious if anyone recalls if it happened by means through a bug that could be recreated at the time? Was it just a bug for this spider or have you ever seen any other pet that stayed an enormous size? I've only seen this happen with this spider although I've noticed a few rather large sapphire hive wasps. For some reason that color wasp seems larger to me, but they weren't massive like the spider.

This Wow.com article gives me the impression it could have been done on purpose: http://www.wow.com/2010/02/26/around-az ... he-spider/

I had meant to ask about this a while ago but I forgot which spider it was until now, as I finally found the screenshots I took (i have thousands -__-):

I believe it's down to a bugged cache--the mob showing as its original size. BUT, when I've seen that bug, it also will show the creature with its original name (and a dragon or silver dragon around the portrait for elites/rares).

I've seen this bug before. It happened to a T-rex that was taller than light hope's chapel. I haven't seen it in a really long time tho. Surprised it still happens,but its fun to see.

I've seen the t-rex too; somewhere I have a screenshot of Light's Hope having sprouted a Devilsaur head

I once saw a hunter with a huge spider pet that had a space in its name, and said name looked like a mob's name, but it was a pet, I don't remember the name, but it was about 3/4 the size of Tarren Mill

My black warpy sometimes has the same bug.

I've seen The Beast running around SW. I guess that counts.

I haven't seen this myself on other pets but once on my Corehound it was stuck on full size for about 15 seconds before it clicked and went to normal. I had flown into Stormwind. That's the only time I've seen anything close. But this really would be cool to see.

Hehe thanks. I had been hoping that somehow I could make it happen. I've been tempted to run off and tame Zarakh just to see, but then I figured there would be more about it in wowhead comments or something. >_>
