A while ago, I was doing Terrace LFR and saw this frigging huge grub in the raid. A bit later, while checking out the AH, I saw another one. I’d asked both hunters where they came from but I didn’t get an answer. The guy in the AH was AFK though. The first time I saw this pet was on Kalliope’s blog. Sometime later, I saw Euphy’s post about the green version from Silithus which Tome and Matty had both tamed.
Last night, I finally logged onto my hunter to tame this colourful beast. All you need to do is head to the Dread Wastes and attack one of the infected wildlife. You may recall the daily where you need to do this but the daily isn’t required to get the Amber Parasite to spawn. In my case, I had to get the moth’s health very low before anything happened.
Be aware you’ll need to spec into BM due to their exotic nature and will need to tame this guy before 5.2 hits as they’ll soon be untameable.
Will you be adding one to your stable or did you already have one?
He’s huge! And kinda cute in a slimy way. :D
If my hunter dings 90 before the patch I might get me one of those. :)
I don’t normally like worms and was going to tame Chibee in the Jade Forest but that turned out to be harder than I expected from the phasing. There’s always the green one in Silithus that’s only level 54.
I just logged in to see if I could find Chibee. After running around a bit in the area he spawned. Unfortunately he’s not as big when tamed as he once used to be: http://loreleispixels.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/chibee.jpg
I might go for one of the pink-ish ones out it Townlong Steppes once I get to 88. They aren’t big either though, but very cute. ^^
Thanks, just tamed one now!
Hehe nice :)
Wow! He’s huge! Will scare some people off in battlegrounds with that! lol
I don’t know what the appeal of giant wormy things is but they just have that certain “something” lol! Might have to get this one to keep my green one company!
Aah, my hunter’s only 87! Thanks for the heads up, this might just be enough warning to level up in time!
I agree with Tome, these worms do just have a special “something” about em. ;)
Have you used bestial wrath with him out yet? Lol they get to like the size of a house when you use it. I’m sure melee dps and tanks just love these guys in dungeons…hehe
I do like it! It’s huge and scary but I think it looks great :D
Hehe I had to go out and get one myself. I got the green one because … green is more gross I guess? *giggle*
Super thank you to Euphyley’s post telling us all how to get one!
Thank you for posting this! I got mine!!!
Pictures and small blurb about it to come soon on my blog.
This guy is HUGE!!!
Gratz on your new hunter pet and I love his colors :)
He’s fabulous, it’s almost tempting to see if I can rush my hunter to a high enough level this weekend to grab him.
Thx everyone and grats on your new pets!
I need to get my hunter level’d before 5.2 then… Giant Bug want! :) Thanks for the info!
Here are some pictures of me and my new worm.

Nice, I seem to be having trouble commenting on your blog though
Gratz on your grub! I do hope I make it to 90 in time to get this one, I did get the green version today just in case but I really do like the amber coloring more.
