Slaverjaw

Slaverjaw is a level 49 rare red hyena that can be found in southern Tanaris, just north of the Southmoon Ruins. He has only one spawn location and he does not patrol away from it; specifically he spawns right in the middle of several very large bones sticking out of the sand. I have indicated his spawn location in red on the map below. 

He drops the typical green item and a fairly decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

He is also desirable as a hunter pet for mid-level hunters as he is the only tamable red hyena under level 82. The only other tamable red hyenas in the game are the level 82-83 Bloodsnarl Hyenas in Uldum. There are also hyenas with this exact same skin color in Western Plaguelands (Scarlet Hounds), but they are not tamable.

Hildana Deathstealer

Hildana Deathstealer is a level 80 rare val'kyr with 18.9k health. She can be found patrolling in two different locations in Icecrown. Those two locations are Jotunheim and Ymirheim, and I have indicated the areas in green on the map below. She is also one of three rare spawns in this zone. The others are Putridus the Ancient and High Thane Jorfus.

Hildana is part of the Northern Exposure and Frostbitten achievements. She drops Val'kyr Vestments which is a level 76 bind on equip mail chest piece with a random enchant. Like other Northrend rares, she also drops Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel, which generally contains about 20 gold, a full stack of frostweave cloth, and often times a few crystallized elements. She also yields a decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

Ressan the Needler

Ressan the Needler is a level 9 rare white bat that can be found in Tirisfal Glades. He has a large patrol area that spreads from the fields of Cold Hearth Manor, past the Scarlet Watchtower and on to Nightmare Vale. He is pretty easy to spot when he is up because he is quite large and all of the other bats in the area are black. I have indicated his patrol area in red on the map below. 

He drops the typical green or white item and a fairly decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

He is also desirable as a hunter pet for low level hunters because there are so few bats of this color and he is definitely the easiest to come by. The only other tamable white bats are: Blind Hunter, the level 35 rare elite in Razorfen Kraul and the level 75-76 Zul'Drak Bats. Blood Seeker, the level 15 bat that shares a spawn timer with Aeonaxx in Deepholm is also white but currently only stays spawned in for a few seconds when he does show up.

Bayne

Bayne is a level 8 rare purple demon dog that can be found in several different locations west and north of Brill in Tirisfal Glades. He is pretty easy to spot when he is up because he is a lot bigger than the other demon dogs in the area, and he is purple where they are blue. I have indicated the different areas that he can be found in red on the map below. 

He drops the typical white item and a fairly decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

He is also desirable as a hunter pet for low level hunters as he is the only tamable demon dog in this color under level 71 and outside of an instance. The only other demon dogs that share the same model and color as Bayne are the level 71 elite Dreadbeasts in Karazhan.

Garr

Garr and his Posse

Straight out of Molten Core, I'd like to introduce...Garr! Yes, he's back. No, he doesn't drop his bindings. Garr is a level ?? rare rock elemental outdoor boss with approximately 12.9 million health. He can be found patrolling west of Sulfuron Spire in southern Mount Hyjal. I have indicated his patrol area in red on the map below.

As of patch 4.1 Garr drops one guaranteed purple item. He drops Garr's Reinforced Girdle of Memories which is a bind-on-equip item level 359 physical dps plate belt. He also drops about 450 gold, another epic item and some nice jewelcrafting designs.

He is one of 5 rare outdoor bosses added in Cataclysm. There is one in each Cataclysm zone. All of these bosses are:

Akma'hat <Dirge of the Eternal Sands> - Uldum

Garr - Mount Hyjal

Julak-Doom <The Eye of Zor> - Twilight Highlands

Mobus <The Crushing Tide> - Vashj'ir

Xariona - Deepholm

Mobus - The Crushing Tide

Mobus <The Crushing Tide> is a level ?? rare outdoor boss with approximately 12.9 million health. He can be found patrolling around the Abyssal Breach in Vashj'ir. I have indicated his patrol area in orange on the map below. He is very large and can be spotted easily from far away.

As of patch 4.1 Mobus drops one guaranteed purple item. He drops Mobus's Dripping Halberd which is an item level 359 physical dps polearm. He also generally drops about 200 gold, another epic item and some nice jewelcrafting designs.

As of patch 4.1 Julak-Doom drops one guaranteed purple item. He drops Vitreous Beak of Julak-Doom which is an item level 359 caster dps dagger. He also generally drops about 200 gold, another epic item and some nice jewelcrafting designs.

Sian-Rotam

Sian-Rotam is a level 53 rare white lion that can be found in northern Winterspring. He used to be a summoned mob for a horde-only quest where he would appear and help defend his mate, Shy-Rotam. In patch 2.3 the quest became available to alliance as well. Now Sian-Rotam is no-longer summoned and is simply a rare spawn that can occasionally be found sleeping behind his mate underneath Frostsaber Rock. He will not patrol away from this location once he spawns in.

Sian-Rotam has always been a desirable hunter pet, especially for alliance. The only other tamable white lion in the game is Echeyakee. Echeyakee is a level 15 spawned lion from a level 13 horde-only quest that starts at the Crossroads in Northern Barrens. If you play alliance, unless you get very lucky or have a friend playing horde who can help you, Sian-Rotam will probably be the easier of the two to obtain.

Hawkbane

Hawkbane Untamed

Hawkbane is a level 70 rare white striped cat that can be found high up in Skettis Plateau in south eastern Terokkar Forest. I have marked the area that he spawns at in orange on the map below. His new spawn location is behind one of the tall Skettis dwellings. He stands in the middle of three dead arakkoa (one is which he will be eating for lunch) who for some reason show up as hostile humanoids when using the track beasts feature on a hunter.

He is no longer elite and he has absolutely nothing of value on his loot table.

He does however make a nice hunter pet. The only other cat in game with the same color and model is King Bangalash in Northern Stranglethorn Vale.

Syreian the Bonecarver

Syreian the Bonecarver is a level 73 rare vrykul with approximately 15k health. She can be found in eastern Grizzly Hills patrolling a very large area south of Drakil'jin Ruins. I have indicated the area where she patrols in red on the map below. She is also one of four rare spawns int he zone. The others are Arcturis (spirit bear), Seething Hate and Grocklar.

Syreian is part of the Northern Exposure and Frostbitten achievements. She drops Syreian's Leggings which are level 72 bind on equip leather pants with a random enchant. Like other Northrend rares, she also drops Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel, which generally contains about 20 gold, a full stack of frostweave cloth, and often times a few crystallized elements. She also yields a decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

Shanda the Spinner

Shanda the Spinner is a level 18 rare grey tarantula that can be found in southern Loch Modan southwest of Ironbrand's Excavation Site. She spawns in the cave that I have circled on the map below, she does not patrol once she spawns there. 

She drops the typical green item and a fairly decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

She would also make a nice hunter pet for low level alliance characters that stumble across her. She does not have a unique skin or coloration but she is probably the first in this color that dwarven hunters can find without looking too hard. Low level Horde characters looking for this same skin and color should check out Creepthess, another rare spider in Hillsbrad Foothills.

Shanda is one of 5 rare tamable hunter pets in this zone. All of them are:

Ashtail, level 16 bluish-grey fox

Gosh-Haldir, level 15 green crocolisk

Lord Condar, level 17 white condor

Nix, level 17 yellow firefly

Shanda the Spinner, level 18 grey tarantula

Lord Condar

Lord Condar is a level 17 rare white condor (carrion bird) that can be found in south eastern Loch Modan south of Ironbrand's Excavation Site. He has a pretty large patrol are and he flies around rather quickly, I have indicated where he patrols in red on the map below. 

He drops the typical green item and a fairly decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

He is also desirable as a hunter pet for low level hunters as he is the only tamable white condor under level 70. The only other condors that share the same model and color as Lord Condar are level 70-71 Carrion Condors and the elite level 74 Dreadtalon in Dragonblight. 

Lord Condar is one of 5 rare tamable hunter pets in this zone. All of them are:

Ashtail, level 16 bluish-grey fox

Gosh-Haldir, level 15 green crocolisk

Lord Condar, level 17 white condor

Nix, level 17 yellow firefly

Shanda the Spinner, level 18 grey tarantula

Gosh-Haldir - The Clutch Mother

Gosh-Haldir <The Clutch Mother> is a level 15 rare green crocolisk that can be found in the southern part of the dried up Loch in Loch Modan. She patrols the area with a bunch of other crocolisks. She is easy to spot because she is much larger than them and she has been upgraded to the new cataclysm crocolisk model where they remain rather dull looking. 

She drops the typical green item and a fairly decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

She is also especially desirable as a hunter pet for pretty much all hunters who aren't worgen. She is the only tamable "true" green crocolisk in the game other than the Swamp Crocolisks in Gilneas. There are similar looking crocs that can be tamed in Silverpine forest and Uldum that will appear in this color, but they are "color changers" meaning that they will not always appear in this color when summoned.

Gosh-Haldir is one of 5 rare tamable hunter pets in this zone. All of them are:

Ashtail, level 16 bluish-grey fox

Gosh-Haldir, level 15 green crocolisk

Lord Condar, level 17 white condor

Nix, level 17 yellow firefly

Shanda the Spinner, level 18 grey tarantula

Nix

Nix is a level 17 rare yellow firefly that can be found in the middle of the Zone just north east of the small bit of water left in the dried up Loch in Loch Modan. He patrols the area with a bunch of other fireflies and is easy to spot because he is much larger than them and he is yellow where they are green. 

He is especially desirable as a hunter pet for low level hunters as he is the only tamable yellow firefly in the game before the level 62 Bogflare Needlers in Zangarmarsh.

Nix is one of 5 rare tamable hunter pets in this zone. All of them are:

Ashtail, level 16 bluish-grey fox

Gosh-Haldir, level 15 green crocolisk

Lord Condar, level 17 white condor

Nix, level 17 yellow firefly

Shanda the Spinner, level 18 grey tarantula

Tukemuth

Tukemuth is a level 73 non-hostile rare mammoth with approximately 40k health. He can be found patrolling all over the middle of Dragonblight to the west of Wintergarde Keep and east of Galakrond's Rest. I have indicated the area where he patrols in green on the map below. He is one of three rares located in this zone. The other two are Scarlet Highlord Daion and Crazed Indu'le Survivor.


Tukemuth is part of the Northern Exposure and Frostbitten achievements. He drops Mammoth-Riding Boots which are level 72 bind on equip cloth boots with a random enchant.

She also yields a decent amount of experience for leveling characters.

King Krush

The King Untamed

King Krush unique-skinned level 75 rare green Devilsaur with approximately 42.5k hp. He can be found in Sholazar basin patrolling in three different locations which are indicated in red on the map below. He is one of three rares located in this zone, all of which are unique tamable hunter pets. The other two rares are Loque'nahak (spirit cat) and Aotona (parrot).

Unfortunately for all of the hunters out there looking to tame him, he is part of the Northern Exposure and Frostbitten achievements so people will be hunting him down intent on killing him. He was the rare that I actually received my Frostbitten achievement on. 

He drops King's Eyesocket which is a level 74 bind on equip ring with a random enchant. Like other Northrend rares, he also drops Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel, which generally contains about 20 gold, a full stack of frostweave cloth, and often times a few crystallized elements.

Zul'drak Sentinel

Zul'drak Sentinel is a level 77 rare elite drakkari golem with approximately 45.5k health. He can be found patrolling around the Argent Stand and north of Drak'Tharon Keep in Zul'Drak.

This rare is part of the Northern Exposure and Frostbitten achievements. He drops Eternal Observer's Legplates which are level 74 bind on equip plate pants with a random enchant. Like other Northrend rares, he also drops Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel, which generally contains about 20 gold, a full stack of frostweave cloth, and often times a few crystallized elements. He's also worth a hefty amount of experience for people leveling in the area.

Old Cliff Jumper

Old Cliff Jumper is a level 30 non-aggressive rare wolf that can be found in only one location since the shattering. He is now located just outside of Featherbeard's Hovel south of Aerie Peak in the Hinterlands. He does not patrol any more, he just searches through the hay outside the entrance desperately looking for something to eat. I circled Featherbeard's Hovel in red on the map below.  He drops the typical green item and a decent amount of experience for toons around his level.

He is also desirable as a hunter pet as he has a unique dark grey coloration.

Fumblub Gearwind

Fumblub Gearwind is a hostile level 71 rare mechanical gnome with approximately 14k health. He can be found flying his flying machine around the Geyser Fields in the Borean Tundra and is one of three rare spawns in the zone. The other two are Old Crystalbark and Icehorn. 


I have indicated the area he patrols in red on the map below. This npc is part of the Northern Exposure and Frostbitten achievements. He drops Fumblub's Seat Cushion which is a level 70 bind on equip leather chest item with a random enchant.
