Welcome to Druid Net!

This is a blogsite based on my character Owlaf, from the US server Feathermoon, in the game World of Warcraft. Other characters might appear every now and again, but Owlaf is my main character and the first one I got to maximum level during Wrath of the Lich King, and again in Cataclysm. She collects mounts, pets, and other nonsensical junk. Packrat? Maybe. But we are talking about an OCD... Yep... this is the site of an Obsessive Compulsive Druid.
Thanks for visiting, and ENJOY! ^_^

The Horse is With Me!

Happy Hallow's End! Today, on October 26th, Owl went into her daily attempt at killing the Headless Horseman. Actually, I'd hardly call it an attempt... I call it a mission.  You don't just attempt to kill this guy, you just kill him! He's almost too easy, but then he's one of the two oldest holiday bosses in the game. The other guy is that dark iron dwarf who wants to disrupt Brewfest.

So today I go in and kill him for the umpteenth time, and as I opened the bags (which is set to auto loot), I saw more of the same... The pumpkin helmet I can't carry any more of since I already have one, a broom, and then my eyes saw what I had been hoping for, the Headless Horseman's Reigns! This let me learn how to summon the demonic horse that the Headless Horseman rides, a black stallion with decorative riding equipment, all of it dark. Glowing lime green eyes and the lower legs and hooves glowing green with demonic energy, much like the demonic steeds the warlocks can summon with their spells. This mount is also similar to the Fiery Warhorse that drops in Kara, from the first boss known as Attumen the Huntsman, whose horse is named Midnight.

But the key effect that makes the HH mount unique is the fact that it can fly, so everyone wants to have a horse that can defy the law of gravity.

The only other mount that is horse-like and can fly would be Invincible, the undead winged steed that drops from the Lich King in Icecrown Citadel, when you defeat him in 25 player heroic mode. It used to be a guaranteed drop, but nowadays it's a low drop chance, so I don't think I'll ever get my hands on it.

In other news, I was in a raid, Firelands, and we had wiped on the bird boss, and at one point I was resurrecting players. I use an addon called "Speakinspell" and I have a few movie quotes from Young Frankenstein. One of which is, "It's Alive!" the other is "As my new <player>-zombie, I give you a name... it is... Blücher!" and then a custom emote "/e looks around as unseen horses whinny in fright." Or something to that effect.

At one point when the It's Alive message went off, a player quoted it in vent, and then I sung a verse from Puttin' on the Ritz. A short while later yet another player stated that she got the song stuck in her head. I have to admit the tune is pretty catchy.

Especially in this version. I found an mp3 online and made a music video. I hope you'll enjoy it! =)
