New Dragonfly Pet

A recent image, tweeted by @aliciafiresword has taken the community by storm! Now, what could this be? Why, a new pet! It's name: The Dragonfly

Picture Credits to @Aliciafiresword

What a sight! A new pet! Immediately theories arose. The owner has said the following:

• It's a hybrid
• One of the parents is the Bumble Bee

One twizard looked in deeper, finding this astonishing clue:

As you can see, this pictures a Dragonfly pet in a cage. In the quest involved, you help Chaz find his pets. Off to far right, which isn't part of this picture, is 2 cages stacked on top of each other. Guess what is in these cages?

• Tarantula Hawk
• Pesky Beetle

Could these be the magic duo to get the Dragonfly pet? Nope, it contradicts the owner's statement of one of the parents being a Bumble Bee. It could be a mix for something else. This theory has been debunked since KingsIsle's hint.

Confirmed to be a real pet - Pic Creds to someone on twitter 

WIZARD101 HAS GIVEN US HINTS!

Dropped by Gladiator Dimachereus in Pit of Noxi?

Final Boss in Black Hole Dungeon?

The Magic Combo is...

Defender Dragon + Bumblebee

What we know:

• Crowns Pet
• Hybrid
• Boss Drop
• 5 Minutes to Hatch
• "Jade Egg"
• Includes Bumble Bee and Defender Dragon 

Going back to the caged pets for the Chaz quest, we see 2 existing pets displayed as a possible hybrid. If we start looking around the spiral, we see other hints!

The Hatchery Hint
You've seen it, but it hasn't crossed your mind as a possible combo. What is it?

• (Stray) Piggle
• Red Gobbler

It's right there! I bet that is the combo for the Orange Gobbler!

If you have received the pet from hatch as a hybrid or drop, please comment! Or any thoughts on my Orange Gobbler Theory, also comment!

Thank You Frostcaller!

Hello everyone!

I would just like to give a big Thank You to Frostcaller for helping me with my blog! I'm sure you've heard of him, so give him some love and support or whatever.

He helped me organize my posts into those tabs up there. It doesn't sound like a huge deal, but it was! I was frustrated in trying to figure out how to organize my posts, and I asked Frostcaller for help. He responded quickly and guided me through the process.

Thanks Frostcaller!

Grizzleheim

Grizzleheim

A beautiful world based off Norse mythology. This world is covered in glaciers, towering trees, rushing streams, moss, and angry clan members. During your time in Grizzleheim, you try to unite 3 groups: The Bears, The Wolves, and The Ravens.

Ravenscar

You are called here at level 40 to encounter The Coven, the infamous group trying to bring forth the Everwinter. It is your job to try and defeat these ravens before they succeed.

Wintertusk

The Coven is at it again! They are now closer to bringing forth the Everwinter! You journey to four parts of the land, divided evenly among the four sons of the ice titan Ymir. Austri, Nordri, Sudri, and Vestri are Ymir's sons. The Coven plans to awaken Ymir to bring about the Everwinter!

Shark Week!

This week is Shark Week, and the spiral is celebrating it with many fantastic things!

-Many fansites have received crowns and mount codes! Usually 5,000 Crowns, the mount being given out is the Swift Shark!

-The Warhammerhead Shark is back in the waters!

-Enter the code "skarkweek15" to receive 1 mystery shark themed gift!

Have a "Fintastic" week everyone!

Northguard

I'm being creative by naming the home button "Northguard."

So don't drive yourself weary of trying to find the Home button, it's renamed Northguard.

Why Northguard?
Because that is the commons area for Grizzleheim, the place of interest!

Cursors

These are the Wizard101 cursors that I made! Please download and use them, but give credit. It's not cool to steal people's work with out credit. The best way to download them is to click here!

The cursors that I've made:

• Amaranthine Staff

Welcome!

Welcome to Nordic Champion, a Wizard101 fansite!

I'm the owner, Cheyenne Caster! You may know me from Twitter or Instagram. I am a level 71 Transcedent Sorcerer. I'm in Zafaria, outfitted in Full Waterworks Gear and a Sidhe Staff. My pet is a Red Panda named Bear.

Nordic Champion gets it's name from the badge and my admiration of Grizzleheim and Wintertusk!

What I plan on doing is post about new things, make guides, and maybe hold contests. I'm not rich so don't expect crowns giveaways, unless someone wants to donate.

I hope everyone finds my site helpful!

And remember, Balance is Awesome!
