Olm found on PTR (We can stop looking now!)

[Kalliope]

YARLY.

As anticipated, he was in one of the deserted areas. I think he's the same size as he was before, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I was in a hurry to tame him so we could start running his timer. (9:55 pm PST on the US PvE server) He definitely dropped four levels and dropped his affiliation with the Cenarion Circle. I didn't have to flag war to tame him. He is still a bird of prey.

So here ya go: his location and a few reference pics.

Little excited there, Kalli?

[Kurasu]

Actually, Kalli, that *is* one of his old spawn locations. All around that bend of the Ironwood is where he used to pop up. I actually think that may have been where I tamed him when I got him the last time.

With that ghostly body and neutral name, he really looks like a spirit beast! Not factioned any more, I see.

Also, I'm pretty sure he's a lot bigger. Old-Olm used to be the size of a normal owl. That fellow looks... big.

[Cialbi]

Oh look - it's a piece of Kurasu's sanity flying about in that screenshot!

Nice job, Kalliope

[Vephriel]

Aww, he doesn't look like he's affiliated with a faction anymore. That was always one of his charms.

Still, glad to see him finally show up!

[Kalliope]

Just a bit! It's been driving me crazy that this guy just wasn't turning up for us and I know a ton of hunters will be really glad to see him back.

I'll add this to the first post, but no, he didn't have a faction, he was just neutral. I didn't have to go to war to tame him.

[Kurasu]

Sanity? Sanity? What's that? h

So <3 to see this owl! And so ticked off at my connection; I want to go and seeeeeeee him!

EDIT: I hit enter on that, tried again, and it let me in. Bastard.

[SylviaDragon]

YES! /happydance i have ben lurking the threads all day waiting to find out ty muwaha i cant wait to catch him ^.^

[Cialbi]

Well, I for one am glad that he isn't affiliated with the Cenarion Circle; last thing I would want to discover upon finding Olm is that I for some reason can't go to war with Cenarion Circle. Also, someone who stumbles upon this beauty and doesn't know to go to war with a faction that one normally does not go to war with... that would make me sad.

[Wain]

Well done! So glad he decided to show up I know he should have been in in the previous patch but apparently it required a restart or something.

[Ijomi]

Yay! Guess you could say he was being a bit of a wiseguy.

[Aussiehunter]

[Araela]

YAY!!!! Thank you for posting this!! This made my night- and my husband was confused as to why I exclaimed "YAY!" really loudly from the other room. >.> haha!

[Kalliope]

Okay, added glam shots from Hyjal and a couple of comparison pics with Hell-Hoot. ^_^

[Vetiver]

THANK GOD! you are my heroes!

[Mozag]

He's...beautiful...*tears up*

Thank you so much for finding (and circling, ever circling) him, you guys! I don't know what we'd do without all your hard work on the PTR!

[Ariamodasu]

Freaky, I tamed him there before everything exploded.

[Yaone]

Good job finding him! I am so glad other hunters can get him now

[Anazul]

I just tamed him at about 2am. =)

[SgtMakkie]

Grats Kalli, nice find
