With the release of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, new wild pets have been added to capture around the Dragon Isles. There are 11 pets to collect from vendors, quest rewards, achievement goodies, and more! Whether you're an avid pet battle master, experienced tamer, or you just saw a pet you find cute, we’re going to guide you in capturing those adorable little beasties.

RELATED: World of Warcraft: Dragonflight - All Zones, Ranked

You may be planning on taming pets as you level through the different zones. If this is the case, we’ve listed our guide based on the flow of the storyline through four Dragon Isles zones in a particular order.

We’ll be using co-ordinates for locations, so we strongly advise downloading the Co-ordinates add-on by TomCat Tours. You can download this add-on via Curse Forge.

The Waking Shores Battle Pets

A stone bridge passing through the lush jungle of The Waking Shores

The Waking Shores is where you’ll first step foot on the Dragon Isles. (Unless you’re a Dracthyr, then you technically started at the Forbidden Reach.) Either way, this is where you’ll begin the main campaign. You’ll be plunged into the lore of the red and black dragonflights.

As you explore, you’ll be finding some familiar pets and brand-new ones. Here are all the new battle pets available in The Waking Shores:

The Waking Shores also has a few pets that can be found as part of treasures.

Azure Frillfish

Firstly, you’ll need an item called A Guide to Rare Fish. These can be found across the Dragon Isles in crates or Disturbed Dirt. The closest ones (Reed Chests) can be found at the Restless Wetlands, scattered around the campsite just south of Wingrest Embassy around 80.44. Once you collect the item, go to 40.41, and you’ll be able to interact with a glowing Fragrant Plant. This then allows you to interact with a Bubble Drifter, swimming in the sea close to the plant. Once you do, you’ll receive your Azure Frillfish!

Roseate Hopper

Location: Found in a cave at 64.69, north-east of the Ruby Life Pools, guarded by a big ol’ Possessive Hornswog. To get passed this chonker, you’ll need:

  • Well-Preserved Bone (66.55) - This bone can be found at the top of a ruined tower in the Life Vault Ruins.
  • Adventurer's Lost Soap Bar (39.84) - Go to the Wild Preserve camp. By the river, there’s a water vat with the item inside.
  • Marmoni's Prize (47.83) - At the Dragonscale Basecamp, look at the pile of boxes behind the tent next to the flight master. Inside one of the boxes, you’ll see a banana (Marmoni's Prize).

To the left of the Possessive Hornswog, you’ll see a rock that opens the book Observant Riddles: A Field Guide. Right-click on the items to combine them, which will give you Observant Riddle “Treat”. When you throw it at the Hornswog, it’ll hop away, and you’ll have access to the cave. Inside you’ll find a box, Hidden Hornswog Hostage. Your new Roseate Hopper will be found inside the treasure!

The Bugbiter Tortoise with a lush river backdrop.

Bugbiter Tortoise

For this pet, you’ll need to begin with finding an Eroded Fossil and a Petrified Dragon Egg. These are located around waterfalls and caves. However, they both appear within the Apex Canopy, but they seem to have low spawn rates. It’s worth checking any cave you come across for these illusive items.

When you do locate them, you can exchange them for the Bugbiter Tortoise via Cymre Brightblade (22.95). This NPC will only appear when the world quest, Brightblade’s Bones, is active - so keep an eye out!

Jeweled Whelplings

Five whelpling pets flying around together.

To craft the whelpling pets, you’ll need to be a jewelcrafter.

Firstly, one character on your account must reach Renown Level 21 with the Dragonscale Expedition. This allows you to unlock Jeweled Whelpling Treasure Maps account-wide.

Go to the NPC, Boss Magor (47.82, The Waking Shores) and complete the quest for the Onyx Gem Cluster Map. You’ll then be able to see the location of the cluster marked on your map, inside a cave at (30.47, The Waking Shores). Looting the cluster rewards you with Glimmering Neltharite Cluster. These can be purchased from him on alts if required as the quest can only be completed once per account. They cost 3 x Neltharite and 100 x Dragon Isles Supplies.

For the other whelplings, you’ll need to loot Disturbed Dirt, Expedition Scout’s Pack, and Magic-Bound Chests. In these you can find the other maps for gem cluster locations for the required reagents. The drop rates are likely low, so this could take some time.
