Your opponents are:
- [npc=139450]
- [npc=139452]
- [npc=139455]
I used a [npc=61877] (1/1/1) and [npc=73368] (1/1/1), though any moth with [petability=420] and [pet-ability=508] would probably be just as strong. My moth didn't even come close to dying, so the third pet could probably be a leveling pet.
Bloodgazer/Direbeak/Sharptalon/Snowfeather Hatchlings all make short work of this WQ.
