Crawling Claw of course, and the Sprite Darter. I'm over 4k on that one, and i have to say, I now HATE Feralas. :P

Frigid Frostling, Never missed a day killing Ahune for years and no luck...

Crawling Claw won't seem to appear either but I've stopped looking at the moment and focusing on 4.3 gear improvements.

The Sprite Darter was hell on Earth farming for me. I killed about 30k total of EVERYTHING that spawns in Feralas and it dropped finally! I didn't even notice the drop and was about to start farming again after a Random Battleground and noticed the egg in my bag. Could not believe it was there.

Like almost everyone, the Crawling Claw has been eluding me. The Searing Scorchling has also been avoiding me...

I've killed over 13000 mobs in Stranglethorn, and still no Hyacinth Macaw.

And I fear I will never enjoy the companionship of Lil' Tarecgosa or the Dark Phoenix Hatchling (unless I single-handedly become exalted with 4 more factions), since my guild has stopped running FL... :cry:

250+ tol'vir solves and no claw. I've gotten at this point every night elf rare and every fossil rare by now so at least tol'vir digs pop a bit more often.

Rawr... that is all.

Crawling Claw was the only drop I ever gave up on :<
but since the recent buff to fragment drops, it doesn't seem to drag so much anymore

the only farmable pet in the game I haven't farmed myself is the digusting oozeling.. a few years back, after a month and a half of farming daily for him, some friends stepped in and started farming for one, as well.. one of them found the little bugger and sent him to me..

I've farmed multiple whelps of every color, a handful of fireflies, fished up giant sewer rats for all my toons and farmed more hours for pets and mounts in general than I'd ever care to admit but the little green glob still manages to elude me - though I still kill the slimes that might drop him whenever I see them..

Crawling Claw. Not only has it eluded me like most of the rest of you avid collectors, but it has left a really, really bad taste in my mouth as far as pet collecting and even gaming. I can no longer do archeology because I find it excruciating and soul-killing. I used to try to make it tolerable by listening to music while digging. One day a few months ago (after digging pretty much full time for well over half the year in an attempt to find the claw) I fired up iTunes. I was suddenly in a very foul mood. It dawned on me that I was associating music with the agony of archeology. I was actually beginning to dread listening to music, even when I wasn't logged into the game! I never thought I would say this, but no pet is worth that kind of misery. I quit searching for the Claw that day and have only dug enough bits up to do the DMF quest. To this day, I can barely stand to listen to music, even in my car. If I try to dig more than one site, I feel my blood pressure building. I even had nightmares about archeology. Ugh.

I can't seem to get the crawling claw or the fox. A friend didn't even know about the fox till we were out doing the dailies there and he asked me why I was killing the foxes so he kills the next few and he gets it. :cry:

I would love to have the Armadillo Pup but again, small guild, long time coming. The Fox Kit is on my list, too. I love to have pets and companions that match. Really need this little guy! But the one that really drives me nuts is the Singing Sunflower. Not sure if I'm just so uncoordinated or unlucky but I can't get through that very last wave of zombies for love or money.

Still no Crawling Claw for me, up to 161 solves. Frigid Frostling is on my list as well. Damn you RNG.
Because soulshards are pink.

Im gonna add Lumpy to the list..
Im really tired of these RNG events, didnt get Toxic Wasteling before the second year, Searing Scorchling before the firelands dailys, and i still dont have Frigid Frostling :/
I know i could have farmed the Scorchling, but first year i did it a bit, but i wasnt as much into pets, since the pet tab wasnt ingame yet, and second year i could get anyone to help me :/

Lumpy decided I was too good last year (I *knew* I should've been naughty! :evil: )

Fox Kit - so many dead yet they still won't give me one of their young.

Crawling Claw - don't get me started on Archaeology!

Snarly - after 4 years, I scored him this week! So long Ol' Man Barlo!

Toxic Wasteling - Blizz be hatin' me :(

Sprite Darter! I farm that little bugger constantly and have yet to see it, I even check the AH everyday on some off chance it pops up on there! It's so pretty and colorful, it will match my pink haired troll perfectly!

Lumpy. Not a fan of BoP rare-drop event pets. The Frostling and Toxic Wasteling took a few years for me to obtain, so not all that excited about another one to try for.
