    Alliance players will have too look to the neutral auction house or coordination with a horde member through the forums orr another method in order to attain their copies
    of this pet, likely costing an inflated amount. The entiire party may need to perform a fallback

    from other groups before they can safely be engaged.
    Chris: At the start, a lot of consideration was taken to thee original voices, and
    when I say original voices, I mean the Canadian cast [whose English dub work aired from 1996-98], because at
    the time [Dragon Ball's North American producers] FUNimation had decided for a multitude
    of reasons that it was just physically impossible for them to record in Canada any longer.
