So, what do you achievement/pet hunters think of this mob? Do you think the four-layer RNG is reasonable, or do you think it's over the top? Personally, I think if I had put the time spent trying to get this mob's pet into trying to get the Time Lost Proto-Drake, I'd actually have a new mount by this point. At least that one spawns without player input so you can actually do stuff on an alt.
