Requirements:

• Must have completed Book 2 of the epic series

The Quest:

• New Skill: "Rabbit-Speech"

The Pets:

      The tomes seem to be occasionally found as loot on Boss mobs, such as the Goblin-town, Barad Gularan, Helegrod and Carn Dum bosses, and so on. They also have a rare chance to drop from high-level humanoid mobs throughout the world. Some tomes can be bought from reputation vendors.

• Hare: Obtained by quest given by Radagast the Brown
• Sparrow: Reputation item from the Elves of Rivendell (requires Kindred standing)
• Turtle: Reputation item from the Mathom Society (requires Ally standing)
• Dog: World drop

Things you should know about your pet:

• You can rename your small pet by clicking on them and typing /pet rename [petnamehere] *or you can right click on the pet vitals(no actual vitals, just a box that indicates you are selected on the pet), and use the pet menu.
• Your non-combat pet will replace your regular combat pets if you have it out, so be sure to de-summon your non-combat pet before you plan to fight!
• You cannot have both non-combat and combat pets out at once.
