Source:

DROP: [Mr. Pinchy] (via 430+ fishing nodes in Terokkar Forest)

Drop Rate:

1 in 500 fished from Highland Mixed schools yield [Mr. Pinchy]
1 in 5 wishes (of 3 available) yield [Magical Crawdad Box]

Rarity:

Rare

Exclusivity:

Fishing required.

Burning Crusade expansion required.

Notes:

A flying mount or flight form (druids) is required to fish for [Mr. Pinchy]. When you click [Mr. Pinchy], he grants a wish. You get three wishes total. Wishes are on a 48-hour cooldown. One of five possible outcomes is a [Magical Crawdad Box]. Therefore, this already rare item does not even guarantee the drop, making the pet even more rare. 430+ fishing is recommended. See El's Extreme Anglin' guide Catching Furious Crawdad and Mr. Pinchy for strategies to obtain [Mr. Pinchy].

Breanni Says:

I was EXTREMELY lucky when it came to catching my crawdad. For starters, I managed to catch Mr. Pinchy within the first hour of trying. Then I immediately made my first wish and received a bunch of healing and mana potions — no pet. But a minute later, the world server went down. Upon relogging, not only did I still have the potions, but Mr. Pinchy reset himself, restoring all three wishes plus his cooldown! So I made my second "first" wish and got my crawdad! Yahoo!

This little whipper-snapper is a reference to the famous ammerican programme 'The Simpsons' when Homer decided that Lobsters are friends, not food.

I took up fishing just for this pet. Thank you Blizz for making fishing a pet friendly skill. Seven fishing pets and counting. Keep 'em coming.

Wonder if they will ever make a cooking pet. A Gingerbread Boy perhaps?

This is a lot easier to get now than during the Burning Crusade as fewer people are in Outland. The largest number of fish-able pools for this are in the large lake with an island in Skettis (Terokkar Forest). It is patrolled by Arrokoa but at 80 few things will aggro on you. If you go from pool to pool around the "ring" the first pools you fished will have respawned by the time you make a circuit.

It took me a solid month and a half of fishing every day, where I would do exactly 5 passes everyday (you'll find the first nodes respawn after you finish the last) before I ever caught my first Mr. Pinchy, and I didn't even get the pet. I stayed motivated though and set a pace and I did eventually manage to catch another one where I was rewarded with the pet. I strongly recommend reading El's Guide to help you in your grind.

I fished for this guy for months, doing the circuit around that lake in Skettis is good and there's also 4 spawn points on the little lake at the bottom of the waterfall towards the alliance town from Skettis.
When he finally dropped for me, I didn't get him on my first wish and boy was I scared! After thousands of casts, I didn't want to do it all again, but I finally got him on my 2nd wish. :D

Mr. Pinchy held me on the edge of my seat for four days before deciding to give me the Magical Crawdad on my third wish ... I though for sure I'd have to spend another eternity attempting to fish him up again, but I was pleasantly surprised! I love you, Mr. Pinchy, but you sure do make us pet collectors nervous xD!

I'm sure everyone knows this by now, but I thought I would mention it. My first wish resulted in The Malevolent Mr. Pinchy & he tried to smash my face in while I stood in the Org bank. There were a whole lot of people wondering what the heck it was, as he just appeared out of nowhere. Pretty funny, after I got over the initial "Oh my gosh he's trying to kill me" reaction.

My fiacee got this his VERY FIRST fishing school in outlands. I was SO jealous. I grind for hours to get things and they always just seem to fall into place for him. Well I just had to fish up Mr.Pinchy's magical crawdad box after that. My fishing was maxed at that point and this pet sparked my addiction to fishing achievements. Took me roughly 5 hours of hardcre fishing before I got the box and I got the pet on my third charge of it.

Keep in mind that leveling fishing skill is based off of successful casts, not where/what you fish. So if you need to level your skill and want this pet, then you might as well go level it at his spawn points and best of luck!

I had to sign up to share my story! I have loved this little guy for yeaaars but never wanted to take up fishing until I made this mage and got bored. I decided today would be the day I start the long grind to get this cutie (I have a thing for crabs). I went to the lake right above Alerian Stronghold, I found my first Highland mixed school, I fished in it twice and got fishing line and then I got Mr. Pinchy! I right clicked him and THERE HE WAS! My magical crawdad. I'm giddy.

This guy is awesome and really big when you use a pet biscuit on it! I finally got lucky with this one and fished it up pretty fast (maybe 100 fish), then got it on my second use. I guess the Warcraft God's smiled upon me after spending an insane amount of time on the sea turtle and rat haha.

He was my 50th pet so it also awarded me the skunk :).

Here's hoping for more fishable pets come cata!

I received the crawdad on my first wish! :) I was fishing the lake in Skettis. I caught Mr. Pinchy on my second cast in the thrird pool I fished. 15 min of fishing + magic crawdad on first wish = one very lucky (and happy!) toon :)

If you wait and do this at lvl 80, most mobs in the area will ignore you, and the pools seem to refresh faster here, though not confirmed on this.
