Wild Pets by Zone (Eastern Kingdoms)

[Jadax]

this is a nice list, thx. hoping this will be the home of battle pets for people, as it's been for NC and hunter pets. One thing to add to the list is the rarity of the pet ... it's an important characteristic since it determines the rate at which the battle pet gains stats. ultimately, i'd assume that a lvl 25 poor quality pet will get obliterated by a lvl 25 rare quality

poor - commom - uncommon - rare - (not sign of epic or legendary yet)

Only rare pet i've seen thus far is the prairie dog

There's no point listing rarities, as any wild pet can be found at any rarity.

[Duroxas]

It looks like the Rat Snake is exclusive to Duskwood (according to the pet journal) but is marked otherwise here!

[Dearth]

I found 2 Lizard Hatchling in Northern Stranglethorn Vale both where Rares and both where different colors when I looked at them in my inventory. Also a Crimson Moth.

[Quintessence]

Not managed to find an infected deer yet... any info on spawn conditions/location?

I found a few Infected Fawns in the northern half of the Eastern Plaguelands (east of Plaguewood). It was late at night, so if you don't see any there during the daytime, they might only spawn late night.

I was looking in Silverpine, it seems the infected squirrels and deer are listed as "unique" to both of those zones

[Quintessence]

In the process of updating the list. Cleaning it up and adding/removing pets so that it reflects the information found in the Pet Journal.

Also adding the level range for each zone.

[Amatheiya]

are you collecting data for kalimdor yet? that's where i've been tooling around. let me share what little i know please.

also, there seems to be a trick to some of the pets

the baby ape only spawns when it rains on Jaguero Isle

the restless shadeling only spawns at midnight server time underground in the ruined village in front of Kara

i don't know the trick for the giraffe calf yet, but i know where it spawns. immediately southeast of forward command in southern barrens.

the cheetah cub is northern barrens, following mother cheetahs near trees.

Ravager hatchling, bloodmist isle, Grey moth, Azuremist IMO the only two things worth going over there for. infected squirrels and fawns are also on bloodmist

winterspring has Robo Chicks and Rabid nut varmint 5000 both often paired with other pets such as bunnies and squirrels, they did not show up on my track pets very often, but were in battles frequently. i think there may be a rabbot there that you unlock with a pet trainer, as of yet not implemented in game. don't quote me on that i could be wrong.

nether faerie dragons are in the dire maul area of feralas.

gazelle fawns (soo tiny and cute!!) are in mulgore everywhere

Creepy Crawlies are in Durotar, along with dung beetles and Spiny lizards

Spawn of onyxia, around her lair, of course! (for once something where we expect it to be.)

Qiraji Guardling appears at the scarab wall in silithus, i do not yet know if there is a trick to this guy.
Scarab hatchlings, and spiky lizards are also found in silithus

Silithid hatchlings however are found in Tanaris along with sand kittens, stinkbugs, and sea gulls

Shimmershell snails are along the beaches of darkshore, and southern darkshore has Darkshore cubs

Ashen vale has Frogs and Rusty Snails

Desolace has Stone Armadillos, horny toads, and i found a Topaz shale hatchling paired with one so don't skip pets if that's what you're looking for. or you can wait till you get to deepholm

Spotted bell frog in un'goro crater

leopard scorpids, and this will probably be fixed, can be found in the AQ area bordering uldum, at level 16. i don't think they are supposed to be there, but that's where i caught one.

twilight iguanas are found in the twilight encampments in thousand needles

Coral snakes in stonetalon

due to the recurrance of certain pets in multiple zones, i tried to list what i saw only in the zones specified.

i'm told there's a turquoise turtle in Azshara, but i haven't looked yet. something else was zone specific there, but that was information given to me and i forgot what that other one was.

i'm sorry this is not organized and awesome like your list with levels and stuff, but this is all from memory and i'm really tired. i just wanted to be helpful to all my fellow pet collectors out there as soon as i could be.

The Kalimdor thread can be found [url=http://www.warcraftpets.com/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=180]here[/url].

[Duerma]

I found 2 Lizard Hatchling in Northern Stranglethorn Vale both where Rares and both where different colors when I looked at them in my inventory. Also a Crimson Moth.

Exactly where did you find the Crimson Moth? For a pet that's supposed to be in two zones, it's sure being elusive for me.

[Remescao]

Okay, on this thread on the official forums I found a macro that checks the pet list in the journal for pets that are listed in the current zone. [url]
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6080202087
[/url] (The two tiny addons mentioned in the thread are great, by the way. One lets you fast swap up to ten teams of pets, the other shows rarity when in battle, so you can chose whether you want to capture.)

Using the macro, I went to every zone in the eastern kingdoms and compared what I got with your list. The macro lists any pet, no matter if it was sourced from drops, quests, vendors, or pet battles. But I went through my journal and cut out all the non wild pets. I also shortened explainations and stuff, to fit better in the three columns I have in my word doc.

This info isn't guesswork, but the results of a string dump from the ingame journal. Here's my list, after I stripped the formatting: (There are a couple of question marks, as I've only seen bog beasts late at night, and only seen tiny rams during the day.)

+Tiny Bog Beast (Night?)

[Amatheiya]

i've seen the jade oozling appear at 8:30pm server time. this may or may not be relavent.

[Smirna]

+Tiny Bog Beast (Night?)

I captured Tiny Bog Beast in the evening, 10.20 PM beta server time, at the Green belt in Wetlands. Was there during the day time before and seen none of them around, so assuming it's evening/night time indeed. (It wasn't raining or anything different in the weather.)

[Amatheiya]

i'm only seeing the jade oozeling, tiny bog beasts, and the tiny twister at night.

i could not find the infested cub at night, so i'm assuming it's a day thing.

edited original content of this post as i put it on the wrong thread.

[Smirna]

Blighthawk in Andorhal also seems to be up during the night. There wasn't any in the morning around 6.30 AM server time.

[Wickidkittin]

I have found that some pets only seem to spawn as the "another pet has joined the battle". I never saw a crimson moth in STV to click on, but I was able to capture a rare one when it jumped into the fight with something common to the area that I had clicked on. Has anyone else found pets that only seem to spawn this way? I could see Blizzard doing this...sure would keep you from just flying over and grabbing what you want...would make you get down and search through the commons to get to the unusual.

I had a Jade Tiger jump into my battle with an EPL Bat, but my Corehound Pup killed it! Nooo!!!!

I've used the "fight everything to find the unusual" strategy quite a bit today! That is how I finally got my crimson moth.

The Jade tigers are completely uncapturable - the trap says "This pet cannot be captured". They show up a lot in Outland, and I was sad to discover this.

Now I don't feel so bad that he killed it. I had that happen with the Anaconda Chicken. I should have known that the same thing would have happened with the tiger. Such a disappointment.

I've seen these "pets" pop up as secondary combatants more than a few times too. Such a shame that I can't keep them even if I beat them in combat.

But I think it's a known bug, and the uncapturable pets are going to be removed in a future beta patch.
