Ban'thalos is a large owl spirit beast who soars Mount Hyjal's skies. Ban'thalos is the first spirit beast to have the look of an owl and is also one of the biggest spirit beasts, mostly due to his large wings.

According to Zekhan's report after the Fourth War, the great spirit owl soars above the shrine to the stag loa, Malorne. According to some legends, they were allies long ago, fighting side by side in the war against the demons.[1]

  • Spell nature moonglow Harsh Moonlight — Call upon the harsh light of Elune to burn foes. Deals Arcane damage over 4 sec.

Taming Challenge tactics[]

The challenge in taming Ban'thalos is aggroing him from his extreme altitude and surviving the fall and the moonfire damage while you descend. Ability rogue feint [Disengage] has been suggested. Engineers can use their Trade engineering [Flexweave Underlay]. Goblins can also use their Ability racial rocketjump [Rocket Jump]

If all else fails, use a Ability whirlwind [Colossal Parachute] (but be quick, the item will disappear from your bags 20 minutes after purchase from the vendor in Feralas).

It is also possible to stand at the top of the tallest tree around the shrine and wait until Ban'thalos flies close. In this case, it is only necessary to fly up a short distance to get in range. Dismount, engage while falling, and land on the top of the tree with only minor fall damage.

Patch changes[]
