This is one of several raptor companions introduced in patch 3.2. Upon its initial release, this pet dropped from Dart, a rare spawn who circles through northern Dustwallow Marsh roughly every 5-8 hours.
As of patch 3.3, the Darting Hatchling became a lootable item from Dart's Nest.
This pet will occasionally run around in a random pattern leaving a trail of dust behind.

Rarely leaves nest until maturity. Enjoys conducting pranks on the nearby Razormaw nest.
Hatchlings: Leaping, Darting, Razormaw, and Ravasaur Hatchlings no longer drop from their associated rare creatures. Instead, there are now rare nests that spawn which contain these hatchlings. For example, the Leaping Hatchling can now be found in Takk’s Nest rather than as a drop from Takk the Leaper.
I got mine at: 46.6, 17.1. Took me less than 1 minute to find it after using this macro:
/way 48.0 14.2
/way 49.2 17.5
/way 47.9 19.0
/way 46.6 17.1Just make it a macro, it's the locations for the 4 nests. Once you reach the location try to see if there is a nest close, if not, move to the next waypoint. If none of them bear results, wait awhile and try again.
Since Dart is such a quick devil, I used the macro:
/target Dart
/cast Curse of Exhaustion
Not only is CoE my spell with the furthest distance, but it's instant and slows Dart down significantly, while also aggroing him. This is definitely not necessary, but to any 'locks out there, this is a nice little macro to use. I'm sure other classes could do something similar. ^_^
if you kill Dart without the pet, you can find his nests around the are, just click on the eggs to get your pet.
here are the coords of the nests:
48.0 14.2
49.2 17.5
47.9 19.0
46.6 17.1
good hunting :)
Found mine tonight at 46.6 - 17.2
Couldn't have been easier! :)
A really good tip is to look for a kneeling human named "Stinky" Ignatz. The nest is under a tree right behind him. Happy hunting!
This may be helpful to some of you: the NPC is near the tauren totem pole. From there I looked around the trees, and there it was just a few paces away from the Stinky dude. And in case anyone is wondering (this might be a duh but I actually had to think about this) you can loot the hatchling over and over. It will respawn for you even if you've already looted it (not right away, I mean just in general). That way if you want a rare instead of a common, keep trying!
6pm Server Time after 2 hours of camping I found the nest at the tree near 48, 14
On my server, it's a fairly active raiding server, that means a vast majority of the server population is in raiding instances from 6pm - 10pm server. That makes it an ideal time period to farm this and other rare spawn mobs.
Either that, or you could always just burn the midnight oil one night, and snag it at 2am during one of your insomnia sessions... but I wouldn't know *inno*
I just got this from Norushen in Siege of Orgimmar, I'm so confused, I thought it was only from dustwallow marsh.
I didn't find mine in either nest - I found it just sitting by a big tree at 49.16. 17.32
still up and running, but hard to see (48 19.09)
I watched Dart spawn and follwed her five or six times no pet, hmm so I killed her. I then logged for a few hours and then came back in around 1:30Pm there she was again running around, I followed her to 48.15 there it was at the base of the tree. just few tries is all you need.
Just found mine tonight at 47.5, 18.8!
Found the nest at coords 47.96/19.05 at the base of a tree, Alexstrasza/U.S. at 12:48 pm realm time; no creatures around. Happy Hunting!
Saw it on the AH, found that I didn't have it. Checked out its location on this guide. Thanks for the accurate co ordinates. Flew straight to it and there was the nest. Money well saved and potential to make money on the AH!!
Got mine at 49,18:17,34
@Stormrage EU 03:40 server time
(Edit: Dart was alive and running arround, didn't kill it)
Took me about an hour and a half roaming and trying coords listed below, they didn't work for me. Found him at 48.03, 14.21 after the nest finally appeared. Yay! Was about 11:30am server time on Echo Isles.
Found at the base of a tree, coordinates: 47.98, 14.25. 6pm server time.
GOT MINE, 48.0/14.3, 1:28pm suramar, it was at the base of a tree
Literally hit the ground and found a nest..Got my baby! 49.12 - 17.45
