The only ones that appear to be intended in only one mode are the Wicked Soul (heroic LK) and the Drudge Ghoul (normal LK). It looks like the Creeping Tentacle was only dropping in 25 and not 10 -- but was unintended and corrected by last night's hotfix.

Cheers. Normally run these on 25 but will dust off a few lower alts to run one or two 10 man ICC

I am curious if anyone has tried running these after completing the achievement. I know mine is a small sample size but after getting stardust i ran two other toons there all three raids and did not get a single pet. Anyone else try?

Based on my experience on running them before getting Stardust, getting 0 pets a couple times is not a surprising result.

I'm still farming these raids on quite a number of characters for pets, gold and mainly transmogs. Even after getting [pet]Stardust[/pet] I usually see between 1 and 5 pets per character for all three raids combined. Out of 50+ complete clears I don't remember any runs that yielded no pets at all, but I guess I'm kinda lucky in general when it comes to Northrend drops.
Typically I run on 25m normal with some Ulduar bosses on hard mode. Algolon himself is usually done on 10m after clearing Yogg+0 for his elusive plate shoulders. On lower level characters I sometimes switch to TOC 10m for the faction champions, but that doesn't seem to matter for the later bosses.

Just made a full run on one of my toon wit ZERO (0) pet drop ....

I've done 15 almost-complete runs of all three.

At least once I've had zero pets from a run of all three. Once I got 6. Mostly 2 or 3 per run.

No Snobold yet.

I've done a single run of each of the raids on 25 man normal mode, using my level 100 mage. The three raids yielded 7 of the pets, namely Magma Rageling, Winter Rageling, Blightbreath, Drudge Ghoul, Snaplasher, Blood Boil, and Soulbroken Whelpling.

Edit: Did another run through of all three raids, this time on 10 man normal mode, using my level 100 druid. This time only 2 pets dropped, Drudge Ghoul and Ultratonk.

I've only run Ulduar once (on 25-man). I was not able to kill Yog at all in that run (I have since looked up the fight and think I will be able to do it on 10-man... which makes me glad that they fixed the drops).

I have all the pets from TOC, but am still doing that for extras to sell (and transmog items), but mostly I've been concentrating on ICC. I will probably pick up a [pet]Wicked Soul[/pet] from the AH because most of my characters are not able to do heroic.

Since I don't have Legion, my highest level characters are only 100. Some of them got gear from the invasions, but I have others that have only recently hit level 100 that didn't get to participate and have iLevels of around 600+/-.

After 2 runs through all 3 raids with each of my 3 110 characters I completed the meta achieve (and got my third Invincible's Reigns) but did not get the Snobold.

Today for the first time I got both pets from Icehowl in one kill.

On the other hand I had also my first clear of all three raids without any pets dropping. Maybe I'm just a bit frustrated with WoW and Blizzard at the moment, but I'm under the impression that the pets don't seem to drop if you in a raid group.
Last week I started boosting one level 80 char of mine for a "Herald of the Titans" run in a mixed Ulduar 10/25 (switching between bosses) and ToC10 clear. During both clears this and last lockout I didn't see any pets dropping. Today I also took the level 80 to ICC and again no pets dropped.

I can on here to ask this too. I have terrible luck. I've done runs of all three where I get none. =.= I'm so glad it's not me. I was like 'once again, RNG must be hating on me!' I refuse to buy them off the AH though so I'm in for a slog.

You can do it just fine. It's not hard. Simply annoying. You can also make it easier as well, if you talk to the bosses that ring the area. They give you buffs if you talk to them before you go down. At 110, you won't need any help. At level 90, you might. 25 man with no help is how you get the mount to drop too, if you collect those.

It's four phases. Run through clouds to spawn adds and kill them on top of annoying lady in phase 1. Keep your back to the bubble monster and kill any tentacles until the portals open in phase 2. Go in and you'll be ported to one of three places. They're all the same, basically. Keep your back to the skull thingies and kill all the neutral adds (they spawn tentacles when killed.) Head to the brain and kill it. That's 3. Then kill the boss in 4. Really, it just boils down to keeping your back to nearly everything in the encounter.
