I have a friend who found a Dark Whelping months before the Burning Crusade hit. She kept it in her bank vault, intending to eventually give it to a blood elf warlock. But it was almost a year until the Blood Elves joined the horde. Alas, they are finally together and they make a gorgeous pair, each with their glowing green eyes and tormented souls. Then again, the whelp’s soul is only tormented because he spent eleven months confined in the Orgrimmar bank!
Farmed this guy in Dustwallow Marsh killing Searing Whelps. Got one after about 50min... Decided to continue trying for a second one and got it after another 20min farming. Good luck!
Ebon Whelp in Wetlands drop this and
Tiny Crimson Whelpling got my 
Dark Whelpling after only 230 kills (about 30 min) Ebon Whelp is compact and spawn really fast.
Enjoy.thought i would go and farm it for a bit in the badlands, from the comments i read here prepared myself for a good 1-2 hour grind at least. 3rd kill got it haha. and normally my luck sucks, happy with that.
So...another website said that it was a .18% chance of getting it from Nyxondra's Brood in Bad Lands. I figured that was about 1 in 555. I got myself ready for a long night (or multipule nights of farming) and I got it on my 18th kill...guess 18 is my lucky number for now.
I found this little beauty in AH for only 800g. It really felt like stealing but glad to have one :D Happy collecting, hunting, and buying ! :D
Love this guy as part of my team to beat Aki. Clouded Hedgehog, Dark Whelping and Efferescent Glowfly completed my team today.
I finally got mine after about 2 hours of killing Ebon Whelplings in the Wetlands, it is the best enemy to kill if you want both crimson and dark whelpling.
I found best area for me to farm was in the Badlands - the Scalding Whelplings in the area where you do Rhea's quests. I used the addon ''Bunny Hunter'' to track the progress of my kills. I had to kill 146 Whelpings (13.2%) to get it to drop - it took an 1 hour and 2 minutes so I consider myself very lucky. However I highly recommend that area as it is small and compact and the Whelplings respawn very fast!
Some one on the chat in feathermoon wanted an untamed whelpling for this, I didn't have one on hand per say but I swifty ran to the AH for one and only paid $1000g, then I traded for this little guy! Talk about a great deal!
Got this in Badlands after only killing 8 :O Couldn't believe it!!!!
Dropped after 319 Ebon Whelps in the Wetlands. I feel I got a bit lucky on this farm.
In Burning Steppes farming Flamescale Broodlings and I am at 1400 kills so far and no drop. The information on this site doesn't seem accurate. :/ I am wondering if I should switch to a place with a better drop rate like Dustwallow or to Wetlands so I have a chance to get the crimson whelping as well.
Update: Over 1500, no drop, switching to Wetlands.
Update: Stopped in Badlands instead and got it in 400 kills! And quickly, too since they are bunched together for multiple kills unlike BS.going on day 2 of farming, started in wetlands, now in duskwallow. I happend to get a spawn of onyxia but still no dark whelpling =/
I got one while I was bored and waiting for Spawn of Onyxia's to spawn in dustwallow marsh and I was lazily killing the searing whelps that litter around the area. Still don't have a rare Spawn of Onyxia :(
farmed in blasted lands for just over an hour with approx 400 kills and nothing. logged again to day and managed to grab on in about 100 kills. tis worth the wait, mine was luckily a rare. best of luck :)
Wetlands, 2hrs over 300 kills nothing yet.
i just hit 666 kills and got a little weirded out, like it was never coming to me, my attempt was doomed, then i got him on 667. Yay!
