Anomalous Animals of Argus

Quick Info:

Article maintained by:

Last updated 2022-05-06

With patch 7.3 the concept of the Tanaan beasts has been revisited in the way of 18 new legendary pets.
They are scattered throughout the three zones of Argus and although world quests highlight some of them each day, all of them can be battled repeatedly at any time.

And that with good reason, because there is again fun with families: Family Fighter
Similar to Family Familiar, you have to beat every Fel Beast of Argus with every pet family, resulting in 180 different fights to earn this achievement.

The fights are very different in difficulty. Some you will be able to finish with almost any pick of three level 25 pets of a given family.
Others are very tough to beat with certain combinations. We tried to come up with reliable strategies for those where possible, but as a novelty to Xu-Fu, you will see some new and rare pet faces in this section and frequently pets with specific breed requirements.
Xu-Fu can scan this section for the most suitable strategies according to your preferences and show the required pets.
Pick a family below to check which pets you need.

I'm stuck and could use some help with Bucky and Shadeflicker in Argus. I can not beat them with my critters. I have tried every combination on this site as well as Wowhead. I do not have any critters with a speed above 338. Any suggestions on where I can find any. Thanks. I am just two battles away from the Family Fighter achievement.

https://www.wow-petguide.com/Strategy/2455/Bucky-Critter is from Dragons, who is hella reliable, so I assume that works. And all you need are two fast rabbits.

I see you have rabbits, but your rabbits are the wrong breed. You want S/S breed rabbits. Do you have the addon Battle Pet Breed ID, from Curseforge? It will show you breeds on each pet.

They're easy to get, though. Personally, I'd go for Arctic Hares in Dragonblight. Capture two S/S bunnies, and use Market Flawless Battle-Stone to upgrade them to Rare if you need to. Or you might check Legion Dalaran for an S/S Dust Bunny.

https://www.wow-petguide.com/Strategy/1518/Shadeflicker-Critter looks very similar, and all you need is a third fast bunny. You can never have too many fast bunnies!

Are you US or EU? I might be able to help out if EU.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try Dragonblight for Artic hares. It seems all the guides recommend high speed bunnies.

Hi folks,
When i run the mass export for all fights I get the following result that puzzles me.
(Red line) Corrupted Blood, 1 fight, no level, no breed required.
(Gray line) Corrupted Blood, 3 fights, 25, same breed (P/S).

Wondering why CBlood is split in two when it appears all fights use the same lv25 that I have already.

When Max export, it say 198 team to export but only 18 show up on the list ignoring the rest. All that show up are the mechanical pets too. Bug?

This happens if you set it to overwrite teams, instead of making copies.

If you import duplicate teams into an empty tab, you don't get the option to make copies instead of overwriting. Try adding a single team for any of the Argus beasts and the option should pop up when you import.

I know there was some discussion that strats would need to change post-8.3. And I think Blizzard even said they might nerf some of the argus beasts, as a result of the 8.3 changes? Did that occur? Does anyone have any intel on it?

Not 8.3. Shadowlands. Mudslide and Blizzard changes happened, but they're no big deal in the context of world quests or Argus.

like Breeda and Squint before him, Shadeflicker is that one brutal NPC. unlike the other two however, you can't skip any of these. i was stubborn enough not to skip the other two, but sort of wish that i had lol

120 down, 60 to go. i blame all of you ;)

oh a minor point on an old feature, but this Argus pet checker has never shown that i have a Spring Strider. it does show if i go through the legion ready checker, just not on this page (edited)

Just to confirm this is nothing like BfA? So I can't repeat the fights?

It is the same like BfA tamers!
You can repeat the Argus fights as many times as you want regardless of the world quests. :-)

Could you please add that little tid-bit to the top of the guide when you next update it? That was the thing I had trouble working out, as fel beasts was not tracking till I'd defeated the whole zone once.Thanks!

Word of Warning - Foulclaw's insane damage mitigation (blocks all damage for 4 rounds) combined with his high damage vs Dragons makes this meta exceptionally frustrating to achieve. Go do the dragon fight with it first, and if you pull it off continue with Draconic Destruction and Family Fighter.

If not, use an easier team and just go for Anomalous Animals of Argus

As per gsanta's comment below, my Mini Mindslayer showed up as missing from my collection too until I obtained a 2nd one and now displays correctly, I only have 1 Zandalari Toenibbler however and that does not show as missing.

I love this site! The strategies provided and also the contribution of all the other people is really useful. When I am missing a pet, I start reading the comments and someone has provided a modified strategy that I can use. Great site and great community! thanks again :)
