This pet does NOT spawn at 630 server as previously listed.

 

It spawns at the start of night time on your server, which will change throughout the year with the seasons.

 

It might get dark at 630 server in January, but not August.

Got it this morning. 2 were up. I didnt get the second one so someone else could. Grey P/S and Rare H/P. I kept the H/P and alerted the zone.

 

Some things I learned while waiting for this to spawn.

 

1. killing rats did not help me. After 2 hours, no results

2. I got mine by logging in and seeing them on a medium pop server. I had toons camped on 5. They were there @ 11:39 server (CST)

3. These seem to spawn right after a restart or maintenance, and roughly evey 24 hours therafter.

My second and third captures were P/P and S/S respectively, albiet poor quality versions. Gonna cut my losses and use stones.

I just fished one up right next to "Ben of the Booming Voice", The fishing trainer on the river due north of Halfhill.

 

 

About 560 skill, no pool, just fished it out while farming carp for groceries.

I find it Ironic that the snowdrift plains is covered with "Stormriders", yet it never snows here. What storm are they riding I ask you? WHAT STORM ARE THEY RIDING? THE STORM OF LIES?

Used the interact trick to fight one in a tree, it was a common but it was also a P/P so a battle stone will be used on this beast!

Just got mine from a tank bag after downfall. Great day for pet hunting today!

Has anyone ever seen a main spawn? I am running around for a half hour, and still nothing. 830-9 server.

Was going to give up. I went out to pick up my kid from school, figured i'd hop on a sec and check (had a guy camping jaguero). I caught 3, 2 uncommons and a common @ 5:06 server on bleeding hollow us. The rain ended reallllly fast btw.

Tip:

 

Make a gnome on a low pop or new players server. It was the first pet I found, poor quality, but I got the achievement

Easily capturable at marked location on map

If you are like me, you need to capture this for the Eastern Kingdoms Safari achievement. I fought many strand crabs on the isle of jaguero, where baby apes spawn, and it DID spawn as a secondary pet there.

 

The map marks it as spawning in Booty Bay, but I didnt see any there.

After Black Lamb 1st attempt rare catch, head over to Jansens stead and catch a rare H/P on my second fight. I am on fire today! Time log and check on the baby ape...

I was doing the Eastern Kingdoms Safari Achievement, decided to log on to my warrior on alliance side. The very first Black Lamb I encountered was Rare. H/B.
