The Mantids' Mettle

==Objectives==
Defeat the Vil'thik Hatchling in a pet battle with your Shadowbarb Hatchling in your party.
*Vil'thik Hatchling defeated
==Description==
Observing the combat techniques of the mantid may prove helpful for our hatchling's training, offering a different way to use the natural weapons of an insect.
I have found a mantid opponent that our hatchling could face in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Take him there and see how he does.
==Rewards==
You will receive:
* 
* 17,850 XP
* +900 reputation with Shadowbarb Hatchling
==Progress==
How did our hatchling fare against the mantid?
==Completion==
It looks like our little guy learned much from his battle with the mantid.
No doubt he'll be ready to face fully grown opponents soon.
==Notes==
Vil'thik Hatchling is located at the Gate of the Setting Sun.
Your Shadowbarb Hatchling does not need to survive in order to receive credit.
