Patch 5.0.1 | Posted: September 25, 2012
The Thundering Serpent Hatchling has a chance to drop from Warlords of Draenor version of Unclaimed Black Market Container, which can be purchased from the Black Market Auction House.
In Mists of Pandaria, guilds were able to unlock this pet by completing the Challenge Conquerors: Gold - Guild Edition achievement. However, once Warlords of Draenor was released, the Thundering Serpent Hatchling was removed from the guild vendor and relocated to the Black Market Auction House.

Can someone tell me if this pet is still aviable for purchase via guildtrader (if the guild owns respective achievment ofc) or its completely discontinued?
I don’t own this pet yet it shows here that I DO o_O I was so surprised when saw it here so I thought “OMG, maybe I acquired it somehow somewhere someday”. I did quick check in my Pet Journal, unfortunately he is not there :(. Glitch ???
My pet is Rare, but is showing on here as common, I don't have any common pets, including him. I know we had to manually add him, but is there a way to change him to what I have him as now, Rare?
Odd ... I own 2 of these lil guys yet he no longer shows up as collected for me. I had named one Flash and the other Gordon - so I went back to the default name and re-imported. Still not showing as collected. Perhaps it is just a glitch - hopefully it will be corrected soon.
I really wish this pet were blue so that we could have a serpent hatchling in every color! Or maybe Blizz will add an "Azure/Cobalt Serpent Hatchling" as an achievement pet?!?
Don't hold your breath on seeing a positive post on this. It's in the containers and most folks are smart enough to not waste their money.
Can anyone confirm this still drops from unclaimed black market containers?
I have never seen him on the BMAH and I check many servers BMAH every day... something isn't right with this?
Update: So you have around a 1 in 200 chance of obtaining this from a BMAH container. There is no direct way to bid on him. You would be looking at thousands in gold just to get a 1 in 200 shot at him. This needs to change, I get they want to keep him rare, but for us collectors this isn't the right way to go about it. At least have him appear directly on the BMAH to bid on.
Has anyone ever seen the Thundering Serpent Hatchling on the Black Market? :)
Has anyone ever seen them at the Black Market? The Undermine Journal has listings for dozens of pets, but not this one.
This pet is now only available through the Black Market, as soon as I see it up, I will report the initial bidding price.
Finally got around to making an alt for a guild that had the pet unlocked, went and quested up until I hit revered, then headed to the vendor -- only to see no pet. It looks like it's been retired, so if you don't have it, you most likely have missed out completely. :( I've put in a ticket to ask, just in case, but I won't have my hopes up. :c -- ETA: Yeah, according to the WCP forums, it's retired from the guild vendors and only available on the Black Market Auction House. D:
Is it still available ingame until WoD release?
I am the gm of a guild with the pet on Wyrmrest Accord horde if you need the pet pst me ingame - Täito -
Wasn't going to attempt this because I figured the rep grind would be to much, but being able to send an illustrious tabard cross realm and using a new DK I was done in a few hours. Thanks to the Magical Menagerie guild for invite, look forward to staying on!
woop just saw the post below - Thanks waynebrady!
My husband thought they were going to make me jump through hoops just to laugh at me and not let me in. I filled out a long application very honestly (ROFL), waited a few days. AND THEY LET ME IN! I was able to immediately buy the hatchling.
I'm looking for a really good pet battle guild on Drak'thul... I'm heavy into pet battles and I'm almost at the 400 unique pets achievement, and I'm working on leveling pets for the celestial tourney and I could really use this little serpant to get through it... So if someone could please add me that would be great... My main toon's name is Jigoral. Thanks :)
If you're interested in this pet please check out the Community>Forums>Pet Collecting>Thunder Serpent Hatchling guild list. It should be a sticky and it lists guilds (US/EU/Horde/Alliance) that are willing to accept new members who want to grind for the pet.
With regard to 'finding a guild' -
I just googled, "wow Challenge conqueror: Gold on <servername>". Where <servername> = my server. Using the results, I researched the guilds and found an old guildie. I contacted them, and got an invite on an alt that I'm leveling. Currently 8k / 12k honored, will have this done within a week especially w/darkmoon faire and the BoA guild tabbard (100% rep gains).
My advice - contact those guilds and ask.
