Description

<name>, you are a hunter worthy of our company. From the battlefields of Lordaeron to the deepest jungle, I have rarely witnessed such prowess with weaponry as you have demonstrated.

You have killed the ferocious Sin'Dall, the elusive Bhag'thera, and the treacherous Tethis. But the true prize is the head of King Bangalash. That white tiger is the reason I am here... yet still, he taunts me from his roost to the south. Kill King Bangalash and your hunting prowess is proven to be second to none.

If you can get a higher level to run you through the questlines Panther Mastery (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=190), Tiger Mastery (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=185), Raptor Mastery (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=194), and Big Game Hunter (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=208) you will get a very solid set of gear for a 29 twink hunter or for any other leather class.

If you fail at killing this cat on your first attempt, but get him below 50%, the two ads will remain with him even when he resets. Two additional cats will then spawn when his health crawls below 50% again.

This means that if you're going alone, you basically only have one shot at taking him down.
