I don't know what the above comment means about "triggering the battle with the elementals" but I got this after killing the same model of mob during my island expeidtion. I don't know if there is some special event that the other comment is referring to or if they just mean "fight and kill the elementals." But anyways, that's how these pets work, you kill the same model of creature as the pet you want, and then it has a chance to drop.
It's not completely random. You have a chance to get this if these type of dogs spawn on your island. They did on my island just now and this dropped. That's how most of these pets/mounts work. They have a chance to be on your loot table if you kill the special version of them. The most important thing to kill seems to be the invasion mobs that spawn toward the end, they have a nice loot pool from what I can tell.
I just failed to get this because I forgot the "tomb starts shaking part" and had players step off after both tombs lit up. Don't make my dumb mistake.
