These small elementals cling to the backs of larger mire beasts, picking off tasty bugs and mites.
I've found out a very useful role for this pet in the Celestial Tournament. It can take out two of Shademaster Kiryn's pets. Here's how:
Breed - H/S* only
1546 / 260 / 289
Abilities -
[1] Clobber / [2] Lash / [3] Poison Lash
[1] switches Nairn for Stormeon
Stormeon is very weak against Tiny Bog Beast.
Keep up [3] / Spam [2] (intensified by Call Lightning)
[1] switches Nairn again for Summer
Keep up [3] / Spam [2]
Most times you'll live through to die against Nairn.
I prefer the H/S breed, the speed advantage(289 speed) helps both Clobber(stun) and Lash(to get the bonus hit). With Poison Lash, Lash and Clobber you can really punish Mechanicals, and as all elementals you will most likely take weak damage in return. H/P breed(289 power/260 speed) will likely benefit more from big hits of Rampage and Crush. Nice pet if you want a bit diversion from the usual Mech killing elementals of fire and ice. Solid middle ground pet, stun can be a life saver.
I've spent a few days trying to find one of these guys in rare quality with H/P build. I was full-time camping a Baby Ape on multiple servers at the time and would log over to check for Bog Beasts every few hours.
What I noticed: After clearing through them, it takes 4-6hrs before they start to respawn. In my own experience, the best hunting time was early morning, as there seemed to be more there than any other time of day. Fly a wide circle around spawn area for stragglers.
I camped the area off and on for a day and saw no spawns on a leveling toon on Sargeras. On a whim, I switched over to another toon I have on Kalegos. I get there and see at least 10 spawns as I fly over. I thought this was the classic, 'only saw them because I was on a flight path' scenario. Nope, place was crawling with them and after 6 battles, I snagged my rare. Long story short, if you aren't seeing any spawns, check a low pop server (if you have a habit of leveling alts like I do).
I am surprised this pet got ONLY three stars!! This pet is awsome against ALL mechanical pets as well as other battle pets. A cheeky Anubis Idol can get a good trashing from this little guy, I tell you that.
I always find alot of these, 10-15, in the early mornings, between 6-8 am. But once I clear them out, they don't seem to respawn for a while and rest of the day I usually never see more than 1-2 at a time. I have never seen any connections between the respawn rate and the weather, even when it's raining I haven't experienced that there are more of them than when it's not.
O my goodness.... Finally found my rare and I KILLED it :(
It was by accident but still, my lvl4 Rusty Snail wasn't as rusty after all. I got lucky though. My next Bogger had a rare Water Snake as a secondary and I caught that one. And just three battles later I found my blue beauty. Justice was done :)
I remember having chased this little plant in the past for a rare, but didn't after more than a "lot of kills". Glad I did try again, saves me a stone :)
I hate to post this...was flying through, didn't recognize the creature, landed, battled, and happen to be a rare on the first fight. This never happens to me....12:30pm on hellscream.
My server, is dead for these. been trying to spawn it by killing critters and fighting battle pets. Finaly got one to spawn and killed it with a multi attack power. Be Careful what powers you choice to use. Crits are not your friend lol
For about a week I could not find any at all I would fly over sit and wait forever and see nothing... will this morning I woke up at 5am for no darn reason I desided to login and forgot where i was for a moment and BAM i saw tones of them on the mini map... battled about 10 of them got a rare uncommon and common. so I am guessing hit it early and you might have a better shot if you are having troubles like I did.
There seem to be some phasing issue with this one. If I take the flightpath from Arathi (or any other place outside the Wetlands map), then I'm able to see 6-7 Tiny Bog Beasts. As soon as I land at Greenwarden's Grove and fly back on my own mount, they are all gone. I experimented with this and had the same result on 3 other chars as well, so it wasn't that someone had the chance to pick the pets inbetween.
Now.. if only i can find a char of mine that ends up being the right phase...RNG hates me lol. Having so much trouble finding a rare would not be nearly as annoying if these things did not take hours to respawn after you battle them all.
Lycky and Unlucky got 2 rares whitin 3 fights not thr H/S breed thoo
I had just landed to tame this cute bog beast when another player, obviously not as taken in with it's cuteness, swooped in and started up a battle................................................. not cool. Fortunately for me, I found another not to long after in poor quality. I flew around a while longer circling my nemisis, for they were still looking as well, and didn't find any others. It was around 6:20 server time when i found mine.
I was thinking these were the Minfernal of the Eastern Kingdom Safari - one of those rare long spawn pets. Mind you my main characters are on highpop horde realms. But tonight I was on an old alliance account on a midlevel realm and happened to be at Wetlands Would you believe I found 4 Tiny Bog Beast playing in the muck their for the taking. I took an H/S and H/H. I don't bother with quality, I have a Pet Menagerie 3 and plenty of pet charms.
So I head out there with my Elemental token ready to snag up the first H/S. Uh... and the first one I engage is an H/S rare quality. Idk what do with myself haha.
Edit: Went to find an H/S Tiny Twister, 0 around. Roughly 30 mins, looked for a rare Cottontail, found rare Prairie Dog, went back to the spawn point only 1.... RARE and H/S. Still have the token FFS (#wowproblems) I hate using hastag BUT it fits. Cottontail found 3 battles later SWEET!
I dont know if there connected by zone, but right after we split captured a Tiny Twister at 744p server, I flew south to wetlands and he one was spawned at 55, 27, he was not here when i flew north to check the Tiny Twister, so most likely just coincidental. Split catpuring DOES work if u want to share the pets with guildies and friends, we just count down on vent 3, 2, 1, click. and repeat untill both parties have a copy of the pet.
Finally found mine after a few days of doing checks for them. I killed most of the pets in the area and then passed back around and found one to the North West of GreenWardens Grove. They were around the Mouldering Mirebeasts that they look like. <3 And lucky me he was rare.
Currently camping this one....does it come in on the fight as a 2nd?
These little buggers are certainly hard to find! Ty to everyone for their advice and comments. Guess I will just have to be patient. Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum... :D
