Also turns into treant and drops Tears of Karana for Udumbara, the Flower of Legend quest. Was going after the listed mobs for the drop for about 10 minutes before I accidentally aggroed him and was happily surprised.
I've killed 2. on the second I got the message Your faction with critters of Jaggedpine could get no worse. I con another and I'm still amiable. I've killed a bunch of poachers and gnolls, but don't know what that faction is for, if anything...
killed one, got a your faction with creatures of jagged pine has gotten worse as well as citizens of jagged pine has gotten worse. droped a high quality cat pelt.
I am a Half elf druid of Karana and one kill sent my "Critters of Jaggedpine" faction to "cannot possibly get any worse".
However; with Form of the Great Wolf they are amiable to me still. My Enchantress (Human, Karana worshiper) used Illusion:Spirit Wolf and had indifferent faction and has not killed any... yet.
One kill for me (Erudite Mage, Agnostic) and my faction couldn't possibly get any worse with the critters of JP. Oh well. Anyone know how to raise this faction? Poachers don't fyi.
EDIT: Nm, there is no point in raising faction with these animals. There is a quest or 2 you would have to do to get this faction up, but back to the first sentance of this edit.
its for the Druid Breast Plate quest (click here for link) which I wrote up under one of the other items required for it. I must get around to submitting it as a full quest some time...
To the extent of my knowledge, no they do not drop those pelts. However, I could be wrong. Only thing that I could suggest you do is camp a crap load of them. What I DO know, is that the very first one I killed dropped high level necro words and an Emerald. Seeing as though they were ALL dark blue to me, and dropping emeralds, I had a blast obliterating them =)
