Thundering Serpent Hatchling was on BMAH tonight

[Harpooha]

I have read that it can be looted from the Unclaimed Black Market Container, but this is the first time I saw it listed as an item by itself. I don't check the BMAH every day because I work nights and auctions are over before I get home. It may have happened before, but it's a first for me.

Sold for 800K. It's a lot, but better than dumping 200K+ on a container with only a vague hope that it drops.

Yeah. I tried to pick one up off the BMAH, I saw a completed listing on my server for over 2 million during Shadowlands. I checked 2 servers, main server and a small server that I sold a pet for 300k in hopes I could pick one up for cheap, but I never even saw it again.

I work nights, so checking the BMAH is mostly an exercise in futility

They closed work today because of snow and I saw it was up on the BMAH tonight. Pooled all the gold I had and put a bid on it. It wasn't enough. Over 600K. I had around 575K.

Just not meant to be

Wow- thanks for the information, even if you couldn't get it yourself. This means it's probably the same rarity as the original brutosaur, if I had to guess. At least it's theoretically possible to get without gambling, though I guess I need to level alts on every server now...

I went to extreme measures to get it, back during Dragonflight. I had been patiently checking black market daily for at least a year, and never saw it. So I bought a six-pack of character transfers and popped six alts to different realms, plus I used a free boost to get another character on an 8th realm. I then checked all 8 realms daily for about a month before I found it. I got in a bidding war and paid 2.5 million for it, which is probably too much. But I was so sick of looking at it I went ahead and spent the gold. No regrets!

Upshot is: it's incredibly rarely seen on black market, and if you ever see it, you should snap it up. Good luck to the seekers!

Good to know that it does actually exist on the BMAH! I have been checking 3 servers every day for almost a year, but still no luck.

[Guccia]

does anyone know if you got the pet when it was current if you can still buy it from a guild that completed the challenge? i would like to get 3

Thundering Serpent Hatchling spawned on the Moon Guard BMAH on January 19th, 2025.

Got it for 2 million gold.

As OP stated it was the actual pet, not a container.

Lost a bid for a TSH on Darkspear-US on 01/17 for >1M, then won one today for 600K on Bladefist-US. If you're serious about obtaining this pet, I suggest hiring a BMAH spotter on the WoW Market Discord. I was able to hire one named Tyler to spot for 50K, and then hired someone named Orijade to boost a new alt to 70 for 100K. Another booster named Blesns offered the same, though I did not use their service. You can use the BMAH at levels 70 and 80, but not in between.

Hope that helps people get the pet! I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier, but these bidding wars are a pain and I didn't want to make it harder on myself.
