Any Level 1+ Pet	PittyPaintUser	This is a slightly faster variation of SpuriousLark#1929's strategy (https://www.wow-petguide.com/?Strategy=2238). Because the Snake usually soloes the first two pets, using the Emerald Whelpling makes the use of defensive ability unnecessary most of the time. Because of Vicious Fang's static damage, the first Emerald Bite will bring the last pet into dragonkin racial range even on minimum damage roll and the second will kill it, shaving several rounds off the fight. The script includes a backup strategy, using Emerald Presence in case the snake dies early due to crits. The Snake must be S/S for this to work, the Drake can be anything (I tried the script 10 times with the H/S Emerald Whelpling, but P/P breed will result in a two hit instead of a three hit kill more reliably).
