User:Jiyambi/Rare pet

This article defines a rare pet as possessing one or more of the following:

• A rare or unique skin (appearance). In this case, rare or unique means the skin is only possessed by one or a very few difficult to find or acquire mobs.
• A special ability unique to a pet of it's level (example: Kresh is the lowest level turtle who possesses the [Shell Shield] ability)

Since pet stats have been normalized, every pet of a particular type (i.e. cat, boar, bear, etc.) will have exactly the same movement speed, health, and attack speed. There are a few rare "caster stat" pets out there which have low strength and high intelligence, making them very poor pets, but primarily pets of one type are all the same as far as stats go, though some pets will possess special abilities when tamed. For more pet details and information on taming pets, see Pet (Hunter).

Though some of these pets are difficult to acquire, some hunters consider having a unique or especially good looking pet to be a big part of their enjoyment of the class, and go out of their way to get the perfect one.

Bats

The only rare bat pets are the two white bats, both rare spawns, in Tirisfal Glades and Razorfen Kraul.

Ressan the Needler Location: Roams the southwestern border of Tirisfal Glades Respawn time: 1.5-2.5 hours Level: 11 Rare	Ressan the Needler

Bears

For the most part, bears have generic skins. However the diseased bears of the Western Plaguelands have a unique, decayed look to them.

Cats

Another very popular pet, there are several extremely rare and striking skins for cats. The white lions are very difficult pets for Alliance players to get, since they can only be spawned by Horde quests.

Crab

There are currently no unique crab pets available.

Crocolisk

White crocolisks such as the Deviate Crocolisk and Deadmire deserve mention, though normal white crocolisks can now be tamed at high level in the Netherstorm in Outland.

Dragonhawk

Dragonhawks are rare creatures in and of themselves. The only ones available to low level adventurers have undesirable caster stats. There are general mob dragonhawks in Shadowmoon Valley, and a more difficult to acquire skin in The Botanica and Tempest Keep.

Deviate Stalker Location: The Botanica Level: 69 Elite (70 Elite in Heroic) Innate skills: Fire Breath 2 Phoenix-Hawk Hatchling Location: Tempest Keep Level: 70 Elite Innate skills: Fire Breath 2	Bloodfalcon and Phoenix-Hawk Hatchling
Eclipsion Dragonhawk Location: Shadowmoon Valley Level: 67-68 Innate skills: Fire Breath 2	Eclipsion Dragonhawk

Nether Ray

Unfortunately, most species of nether ray have inferior caster stats. In addition, they can only be found in scattered parts of Outland. Non-caster nether rays are located in the instances Slave Pens and Underbog.

Gorillas

There is only one rare gorilla skin, and that is Uhk'loc from Un'Goro Crater.

Uhk'loc Location: The back of the cave Fungal Rock in northeastern Un'Goro Crater Respawn timer: Unknown Level: 52-53 Rare Innate skills: Bite 7

Raptor

There are quite a few distinct raptor skins, though most can be found on typical mobs. Outland raptors have quite a sinister appearance. They are fairly easy to get once you reach the zone they are in, so they haven't been included here.

Deviate Stalker Location: Entrance to the Wailing Caverns Level: 15-17 Elite Innate skills: None Takk the Leaper Location: Around the Sludge Fen in the Barrens Respawn timer: 4-6 hour Level: 19 Rare Elite Innate skills: None

Deviate Stalker and Takk the Leaper

Ravager

Ravager skins are widely varied, seldom with more than one mob for a particular skin. However, there are as of yet no rare spawns or particularly difficult to find ravagers, so each is about equally "rare".

Scorpid

There are currently no unique or rare scorpid pets available.

Serpent

Serpent mobs are fairly rare. Most only appear in instances, and are elite. There is only one type of "normal" serpent, found in Shadowmoon Valley in Outland.

Razzashi Serpent Location: Zul'Gurub Level: 60 Elite Innate skills: Poison Spit 3 Description: Orange and yellow colored	Razzashi Serpent
Murk Spitter Location: Temple of Atal'Hakkar Level: 46-47 Elite Innate skills: Poison Spit 2	File:SerpentGreen2.jpg Murk Spitter

Spiders

There are a lot of spider skins, but only two rare ones.

Naraxis Location: Duskwood Level: 27 Rare Innate skills: Bite 4 Razzashi Broodwidow Location: Zul'Gurub Level: 61 Elite Innate skills: None	Naraxis and Razzashi Broodwidow

Sporebats

There are only three sporebat skins currently in game, and only one of those (Sporewing) is unique.

Sporewing

Tallstriders

There are three rare Tallstriders, all with unique skins and all rare spawns or special named mobs.

Mazzranache Location: Horizontal line through central Mulgore Level: 9 Rare Respawn time: 1-2 hours Innate skills: Cower 1 Description: Pink plumage Taming notes: Has poison before being tamed	Mazzranache

Turtles

There aren't any unique turtle skins. However, the turtle Kresh from Wailing Caverns is notable for being the lowest level turtle available with the [Shell Shield] ability.

Kresh Location: The river in Wailing Caverns Level: 20 Elite Innate skills: Bite 3, Shell Shield 1 Description: Blue skin, white/yellow shell

Kresh

Warp Stalker

Like some other expansion-only pets, the Warp Stalker is hard to obtain simply because it can only be found in Outland. Most warp stalkers come from Terokkar Forest (though beware of the species actually called "warp stalker", as these have caster stats). However there is a species with a different skin available in the Netherstorm.

Warp Hunter Location: Terokkar Forest Level: 64-65 Innate skills: [Warp] Description: White with blue stripes and purple spikes Blackwind Warp Chaser Location: Terokkar Forest Level: 69-70 Innate skills: [Warp] Description: White with blue stripes and purple spikes	Warp Hunter and Blackwind Warp Chaser
Warp Chaser Location: Netherstorm Level: 67-68 Innate skills: [Warp] Description: Blue with purple stripes and black spikes	Warp Chaser

Wind serpents

Wind serpents are another type of pet which often has caster stats. Because of this, a few skins that are common are in reality quite rare, since only a few rare spawns have normal pet stats. When looking for a winderserpent pet, check the Wailing Caverns - many non-caster versions of this pet can be found in this instance.

Hayoc Location: Dustwallow Marsh Level: 41 Rare Respawn time: Unknown Innate skills: None Description: White, non-caster Arash-ethis Location: Feralas Level: 43 Rare Respawn time: 5-11 hours Innate skills: Dive 2, Lightning Breath 5 Description: White, non-caster

Wolves are a popular pet and there are many skins. However, only a few of these skins are unique.

Ironjaw Location: Near Firewing Point in Terokkar Forest Level: 63-64 Named Innate skills: None Description: Black and brown fur	Ironjaw
Old Cliff Jumper Location: Hinterlands Level: 42 Rare Innate skills: Bite 6, Dash 2 Description: Gray and black fur	Old Cliff Jumper
