  • Slot 1 pairs Pinch (level 1) with Fish Slap (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 2 pairs Shell Armor (level 2) with Bubble (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 3 pairs Dive (level 4) with Whirlpool (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.

Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.

The game data places this pet in Vol'dun but records no spawn coordinates. The gold pins are the zone's own landmarks from the game data, not this pet's spawn points.
