This pet is my #1 pet so far. Great for leveling other pets when it hits 25. Combination of the sheild (c-ya later dots!) and healing is great for not having to bandages or revive after battles. I highly recommend finding a rare Shore Crab, Strand Crab, or Strand Crawler to help with leveling other pets. I has even become an all star in pvp pet battles.

This crab's survivability wowed me from the beginning.  I have used it as one of my core pets since I started doing battle pets; indeed, since battle pets came into existence, really.  Those who have one of these will rejoice; those who have to *face* one of these will probably feel rather crabby afterwards.

I was battling a frog In ashenvale near the falfarren river and it came up as an assisted wild attacker. Sadly I didn't know how rare it was until I captured the frog so I couldn't capture it also.

By far my favorite pet! This pet surprised me with its survivability. Even though it isn't the cutest, it definitely packs a punch. With its shield and heal it can easily survive a 3 pet fight with barely a scratch. Definitely worth leveling up!

Not only is this little guy super cute but he's a really a great staller for pet battles. With his high health, shell shield, and renewing mists combo this guy can easily take on a full team of three all by himself. Well worth the farm!

This lil'bugger didn't drop when I tried for him in mid-wrath, day after day, only trash and random funny stuff so I gave up, and returned to my normal schedule of murdering Horde. Little did I know, just two days ago, I was waiting for my Bg, so I decided to do a fishing daily. (We were on a winning streak of 4, and the ques were 8 minutes long.) when I turned it in, this little ... well, I got him after forgeting he even existed.

Reminds me of the time when I got my Big battle bear.

This one eludes me as well... on my second toon to max fishing and have yet to get ANY real worthwhile reward (well as fas as collectables go) from the dailies... Although my Druid did fish up the sewer rat in Dal within 1/2 hour of trying for it... Which really depressed the poor soul that was fishing next to me... She stated she was in the sewer every day trying for it... These ODDs.. 1 in 100(0) are for each cast... one could literally do 10k dailies and never get the pet.

Over the last month I have lvled a Goblin Shaman to 85, sometimes doing fishing dailies from Org/UC/TB, Shattrath AND Dal all in one day. I still have never gotten this pet! On the priest I lvled, I got it almost right away. I don't much believe that 1/200 or 1/100 is correct. It's basically whether the game likes you that day. And apparently it hasn't liked me in a while!

With 1/200 drop rate from dalaran dailies and 1/100 from orgrimmar dailies i dont see how 70% of users here have it. I m doing both dailies for 2 months now every day and still no luck. RNG i guess.

My NE Rogue got this doing her first dwarven fishing daily in Iron Forge. It's the first time I got a companion pet on any of my toons doing fishing dailies. This and a liquor recipe. It was a fishing boon day.

Awesome pet, I just got it today. I only had to do the Stormwind fishing dailies enough times to get the achievement, and then I got the pet too! :D Double the happy!

Oddly enough though, I don't have the Lich King expansion?? Only Burning Crusade. Sooo... lucky me.

I've found this is one of the few companions that actually travel in a different way when in the water. Well, they might all do -- but this one's noticable

I've been trying to determine what species of crab the little Strand Crawler actually is. Is it a Blue Crab? Maybe a Ghost Crab? I keep leaning towards the rare Ghostcrawler, but that species is known for its wisdom and keen insight. My little crawler just stares into space blowing bubbles...
