'''Dirge Quikcleave''' is a level 45 [[meat]] and [[drink vendor]] located in the [[Gadgetzan]] inn, in the [[contested]] territory of [[Tanaris]]. He is the greatest living chef in all of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], renowned for his [[Clamlette Surprise]] (once a reward from a quest teaching [[artisan]] [[cooking]]), [[Clamlette Magnifique]] (apparently much the same as Clamlette Surprise) and [[Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops]] (once needed for the [[The Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest chain|Ahn'Qiraj questline]]).

Wind serpents are, simply put, flying constrictor [[snake]]s. These serpents are sometimes found in the Barrens, and they are often revered by local tribes of savage races such as quilboar, who see wind serpents as spirits of the sky. Wind serpents are simple beasts that reach sizes of 4 to 6 feet in length and can weigh up to 50 pounds. While green is the most common color, their scales can range in any hue from dark brown to a faint orange color. Their plumage often matches their scales, but with red or yellow tips. Most wind serpents subsist on a diet of rabbits and rodents, but they will eat things as large as small wild pigs or young sheep. While not aggressive, wind serpents are territorial, tending to attack anything that comes near their nests, built high in trees. Wind serpents are predators that ambush their prey, crawling among tree branches or flying silently out from a dark nook. They attack with lightning speed, swiftly poisoning their prey to death. Wind serpents vary drastically across species. Some are constrictors rather than vipers. Other wind serpents are in truth magical beasts instead of animals, and have an astonishing variety of magical abilities. Magical wind serpents tend to be slightly larger and tougher.{{Cite|MGWS|26}}

Wind serpents are aggressive and use their whiplike tails, thunder breath, and needle fangs to attack their foes. They're found in [[The Barrens]], the [[Wailing Caverns]], [[Thousand Needles]], [[ Dustwallow Marsh]], [[Blade's Edge Mountains]], [[Feralas]], [[Zul'Gurub]], and the [[Sunken Temple]]. Wind Serpents seem to have a connection with [[Hakkar the Soulflayer]].

* Can learn [[Growl]], [[Dive]], [[Pet:Cower|Cower]], [[Bite]], and their special skill, [[Lightning Breath]]. Lightning Breath is capable of dealing a decent amount of ranged nature damage and scales slightly with a hunter's ranged attack power. Unless fighting mobs with very low armor or innate nature resistance, a wind serpent will have the highest DPS of any pet.

* A large number of wind serpents suffer from "[[caster stats]]" if you tame them as a pet: their stats useful to a pet (strength, agility, armor, stamina) are lower and their useless stats (intellect, spirit) will be higher, making them weaker than a normal Wind Serpent that level. It is advised not to use those ones as a pet, as you can use other Wind Serpents with the same skin without the same side-effect. Wind Serpents suffering from this effect are: [[Azzere the Skyblade]], [[Thunderhawk Hatchling]], [[Thunderhawk Cloudscraper]], [[Greater Thunderhawk]], [[Hakkari Sapper]], [[Cloud Serpent]], [[Elder Cloud Serpent]], [[Hakkari Frostwing]], and [[Cobalt Serpent]].
