Kirin's Hoard Pack to be Retired

Kirin's Hoard Pack
Hello wizards, I'm sorry to bring some bad news. Kirin's Hoard Pack is to be retired soon. There is a plus side to this! From now until August 23rd at 11:59 PM U.S. Central Time, the pack is 50% off. The removal of this pack could also signify a new pack! That's something worth hoping for!

About This Pack

The Kirin's Hoard Pack is a MooShu - Based pack, granting numerous cool prizes. Notable prizes include the Kirin Mounts and the Foo Dogs. This awesome pack won't be with us much longer, so be sure to buy some!

New Winged Catastrophe Pet

A new pet that was discovered recently is the Winged Catastrophe. Following the wake of the Dragonfly, wizards are jumping at a chance to discover the possible new hybrid and get their hands on a soon-to-be must have pet.

Is it a hybrid?
There's a very real possibility that it is a hybrid, but it's now a confirmed Ultra-Rare drop from The Harrowing Nightmare Pack. There's plenty of possibilities for this pet, but my guess is it includes a Black Cat because of the item card. I would also say the other parent is a Meow Wing, but that was tested and remains unconfirmed.
Possible Parents include (this is a random order)

• Meow Wing
• Black Cat
• Dragon (of some sort)
• Shadow Beast
• Nightmare

Learn about this pet by clicking this link.

For now we can just wait and see, or be part of some hatching tests! Keep an eye on Twitter and Wizard101 Central to help solve this possible hybrid mystery!

If you discover or confirm anything, PLEASE comment! 

Good luck and happy hatching!

The Solar Sabercat Mount

Wouldn't it be super cool if there's a Solar Sabercat pet? If so, do think it's a hybrid? What parents? Is it a drop? Where from? 

I think that if its a hybrid, the parents are Sabertooth + Astral Judge

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:

Credit to @calamitypixieshade

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!
