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

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.

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

Shanda the Spinner, level 18 grey tarantula

Ashtail

Ashtail is a level 16 non-aggressive rare fox that can be found south of Mo'Grosh Stronghold and among the Hill Foxes in Loch Modan . He is especially desirable as a hunter pet as he has a unique bluish-grey skin.

Ashtail always spawns in the same location and that is approximately 75.2, 43.6. If you don't use coordinates I have marked it on the map below with a red dot. I also have his patrol area colored in yellow.
