Although it is technically a ground pet, it does hover on summon and when you run on a ground mount it glides after you mid-air. Will disappear if you fly though. I wish it hovered as an idle animation because it's super cute!
@Shyhelma - from everything I can see, still have to do the 4 hours to "earn" the pet, even if you already have it, before you can start on your 4 hours towards the mount. Frustrating to say the least.
There's a timeout on how often your trainee will dig up something. There is a 5 minute cooldown and then you must kill a non-critter (i.e. something with decent HP). So farming tons of mobs won't make your trainee go any faster. You just have to kill one thing every 5 minutes.
I have found this as a primary pet around central Ardenweald - specifically as I type this I am due east of the Refugee Camp FP just before the ravine where the road forks. My addons haven't updated so I don't have coordinates but this can be a primary pet. (as of this writing it is listed as addon only)
@Zahira, mine is S/B. H-1300 P-240 S-289 (at 23)
I have never been able to find this on the regular Mechagon island. I went into the raid and it was on the Alliance beach my first time. Thank you for the comments! I would have NEVER looked in there!
My personal advice is try Sparkweaver Point. I made a simple macro to /target rustyroot snooter (because some of them run really fast and are hard to click on). I killed all of them, including the critter/non-battle pet ones for about 5 minutes and a Duskytooth spawned. Obviously YMMV but good luck to all! :)
Update: also check by Corey Clockbonk when you fly in (77.7, 40). Twice now I've seen a Duskytooth just hanging out next to him and people ignored it! I even called out in General.
This pet has an infuriating self-destruct that makes it very difficult to catch. :(
It's weird to me that this pet is significantly smaller than Albatross Chick.
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.
Dropped on 1st try - 10 man Normal.
I agree that the pre-Legion invasions seemed to bug the Fluxfire Feline, but it seems to be spawning again now.
I finally got the Gundrak Hatchling today!
