Any Level 25+ Beast	CeeJai#1849	This is my first time publishing a strategy on Xu-Fu's guides. Please let me know if I made any terrible formatting mistakes. There is a little wiggle-room in the first pet selection. I actually used Leap instead of Primal Cry and wasted a Black Claw on the round before I swapped in my Feline Familiar. While fine-tuning this strategy, I realized if I used Primal Cry instead, it would allow me to land a few hits first and save some HP.

What's up everyone! This strategy worked after the Shadowland changes.

You can use Zandalari Kneebiter P/P, P/S or P/B to replace the first pet using the same abilities. I heavily recommend a P breed because you need the damage to finish it with the second Hunting Party attack, I'm not sure if a S/S could do it.

Using Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen is for the 100% success clearing. If you don't have him you can try with any other hard hitting Beast, just reset the fight if Terror Larva misses the Worst Fear (which is not a big deal since the fight goes really fast).

BUG I chose Thumbbiter for 2nd pet in the list but the Rematch string put a flying pet https://www.wowhead.com/npc=171240/devouring-animite in, instead. Not even sure Thumbbiter exists...

My jungle grub got lucky, survived long enough to land two chomps, so when my warpstalker came in he was able to finish the second pet with one blinkstrike without taking any damage.

I did this twice with beast, didn't realize my Warpstalker wasn't lv 25. If you do have it, it does better job against fly than Ban-Fu. I used Ban-Fu in 2nd slot first round and it did okay but was squishy.
