Shy-Rotam (Classic)

Shy-Rotam is the matriarch of the Frostsabers of Winterspring.

Storm Shadowhoof at Everlook in Winterspring wants you to defeat Shy-Rotam.

• Shy-Rotam slain

In northern Winterspring, great cats assemble around a large landmark called Frostsaber Rock. The leader of these cats is known by the name Shy-Rotam. Defeating the matriarch of the frostsabers would grant you much respect in the eyes of your fellow.

Go again to the harsh wilds, and once there, gather sacred meat from the frostsabers. Find the stone of Shy-Rotam, and place it there. Placing the meat of her kin before her will summon Shy-Rotam, in anger.

Be ready for her fury, and defeat her.

You will also receive:

• 11,900 XP

Shy-Rotam is bold and unforgiving; she will defend her kind with fervent enthusiasm.

You have proven both your strength and your determination. Many more challenges await you, but I have already shown you as much as I am able.

• You first need to kill frostsabers to find the Sacred Frostsaber Meat. Any frostsaber can drop it, but it has a very low drop rate. You then need to use the Meat at Frostsaber Rock which is at location 49,9. This will summon Shy-Rotam. She constantly uses fears as well as causes a bleed effect.
• When Shy-Rotam drops to 50%-30% health, she will summon her mate, Sian-Rotam. Like Shy, he is also a level 60 cat. If you can kite Shy away from her spawn point during the initial part of the fight, Sian-Rotam will either not spawn or won't aggro. Both Hunters (Concussive Shot) and Shaman (Frost Shock) can easily kite Shy-Rotam. Most people will kite down to Lake Kel'Theril or to Everlook.
• Both Shy-Rotam and Sian-Rotam are striking in appearance (Shy is white with stripes, Sian is white with a black mane). Because of this, both are popular for hunters to tame. Alliance hunters once needed the help of a Horde player to get one of them, but as of patch 2.3, Storm Shadowhoof now speaks to both factions, making the questline available to everyone.
