Darahir may be found in the northeastern-most room of the Dalaran Underbelly (sewers). To find him more quickly, set your tracking for 'Reagents'.

Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio. Actually, he was more of an acquaintance. Well, to be brutally honest, I didn't know him at all. At Wizard school, he was pretty much just another face in the hall. The other mages played pranks on him, like the time when they stuck a note to his back that said "Scorch me." Wait a minute... *looks at skull* Hmm... guess we won't need those CSI guys to investigate Yorick's death after all.
If you get caught with many Flawless Undead Battle-stones after your undead pets are all Rare. Purchase these skulls at Dalaran, convert them to Rare and sell them on AH. I sold six for 250 gold or there abouts. You may be able to get more.
Always uncommon at purchase; you'll have to upgrade to rare. But don't just take the first one you get! There are three possible breeds: none offer much speed, so I recommend power build (breed 7): At level 1 uncommon it will have H=156, P=11 & S=8. At level 25 rare - H=1627, P=305 & S=227. Set up for Siphon / Death Coil, this makes him really hard to kill. Uh... re-kill. Defeat? You get the idea.
Pair him with a Nordrassil wisp and spirit of summer to make a disembodied head team.
I should imagine people use stones to make them rare.
I bought about 30 and all were uncommon. Wonder how many I have to buy to get a rare? hope they are still out there...
I bought a bunch of these guys, but none of them were rares, only uncommons. After reading some other comments, I think its safe to assume that for a rare, you have to upgrade it yourself.
is this pet always uncommon when you buy him? Or can you buy him as a rare? After battling this guy below dalaran I'm pretty sure i want him on an undead team.
Almost every Ghostly Skull I come across is named something similar to "Mort".
Also, even in 5.1, this guy is still excellent. I have battled teams which use Call Darkness and then the Skull in order to get off both Spectral Strike and Ghostly Bite. I guess the counter is use another weather move.
I called him Morte. I like to think he spits out insults along with his Death Coil.
NOw that we can name our little friends I have named the skull Bob in honor of the Dresden Files.
Kinda sad about this one being bind on pick up, can't by it and send it to my alts.
Wrong!
He catches it with his forehead. Apparently the rogue necromancer in the ranks of the Kirin Tor forgot to reanimate the skull's brain as well...
