This crafty raptor was born in the icy wastes of Northrend. Its harsh upbringing gives it strength when many others would perish.

finally!
I can confirm as of Aug 2019 that the Raptor still drops in this area. It took 10 shots to bag it @ 72,19 just circle this coord nothing fancy.
Years ago, I would kill a couple hundred a day, until inevitably someone else came to farm the area. Never got it to drop and eventually gave up. If I happened to go to Northrend I may stop by the area but often didn't. Today I went on a whim and got the drop on my 7th kill! Pretty sure my heart stopped for a second.
You all are so lucky! For me it was well over twice the stated drop rate. Happy to finally get it though.
I have killed thousands of the raptors and have never gotten this pet to drop. Is there a "gate", such as a quest that needs to be completed, to get these to drop? Wowhead.com lists this as 1 in 1,000 drop so I never really counted my kills until today (over 700 just today).
-- Got my first one to drop after 806 (tracked kills). Now need one for my wife's account ...Finally got one today, not sure how many kills. Based on the leather I had, maybe 250 kills.
....does this still drops? 2427 kills and nothing -.-

it must have taken me around 400 kills before I stumbled upon a person who had 3 of them in about 10 minutes. I bought one from him for 450g :3
Then, it only took a quarter of the kills to pick up 2 of them :l
Either way, I have 2 to sell, and I used one of them to get this lil thing. Proably going to use it in my roster if its good enough.
Can you carry more than one?
Pleasantly surprised .. took only about 50 kills! )
Got it on my 112th kill
It dropped on kill #334 - not too bad!
Dropped for me last night... 205 kills and I'm counting that as a blessing... I've well over 6,000 kills and counting, for the Azure Whelpling.
Was losing hope about ever getting this awesome pet, but on my 1600th kill he finally dropped for me. A little over 7 hours of farming but was determined. Happy Hunting
403 Kills and I got him! The add on Rarity really helped this grind. Watching my kill number go up made the grind almost bearable. :)
Just got one after my 48th kill on Doomhammer 4:19 PM. Feel really lucky after readingf some of the grinds.
Killed 1,513 raptors over the course of playing off and on for 2 days until this dropped for me. Rarity Add-on helped a bit.
I have to tell you guys, the drop rate count is shared by each realm, so if you're on say Bronze Dragonflight then you share the count with everyone else on Bronze Dragonflight. You can go farm 800 Raptors and not get this pet to drop, then someone else comes along and starts farming and it drops for them in less than 200 kills. This is what happened to me as per my last post of 600 raptors killed, then someone came along and it dropped for them virtually instantly.
The RNG gods don't smile down on me :(
