Archaeology: Fossilized Hatchling Companion and I had it in my hand Achievement

I have been busy since Christmas building up my “Archaeology” profession. Today one of the rewards for Fossil digging was a “Fossilized Hatchling”. This indeed is a companion and is really quite cute in its own bony way. It is a rare fossil which when created makes you a companion.

“There is something unusual about these tiny raptor bones. The empty eye sockets don’t quite seem empty. In fact, are they twinkling with a hint of life?”

When you get this companion you will also get an achievement known as “I had it in my hand” which is given when you find a rare artefact. Along with the achievement you will also get the title “Assistant Professor”.

Sand Kitten

While out in the deserts of Tanaris I came across a little cat wandering the sands. This is apparently a “Sand Kitten” really cute actually (from a female perspective).

Noggenfogger Elixir

While wandering around in Gadgetzan, Tanaris, I came across a vendor known as Sprinkle Noggenfogger, she sells only one item known as “Noggenfogger Elixir” it doesn't cost much to buy and it gives you 5 uses. Basically it turns you into a skeleton for 10 minutes. Kind of cool really and worth the mention.

Achievement - Stood in the Fire: Get killed by Deathwing

While visiting “Greenwarden’s Grove” in the “Wetlands” the area was set ablaze and my level 82 character Latura instantly died. This action gave my character the achievement known as “Stood in the Fire”, which means that Deathwing (the giant dragon who stands on the towers of Stormwind during the login screen and reaped havoc through the world of warcraft has flown overhead and set the area on fire!
I have yet to see Deathwing but this is the first encounter I have had with him. This may not be the last! I was not aware of this random event so I thought it would be good to mention it just in case other people wanted to know about it.
