Patch 5.1.0 | Posted: November 27, 2012
This wild pet can only be spawned by using the item, Rodent Crate.
It can be purchased from the Operation: Shieldwall (alliance) vendor, Proveditor Grantley, for 2,000 Domination Point Commissions. Or from the Dominance Offensive (horde), Ongrom Black Tooth, for 2,000 Lion's Landing Commissions.
Using the Rodent Crate will spawn 5-7 Sumprush Rodents in the surrounding area. Any players may engage in battle with these wild pets, not just the user of the item.

A rodent of usual size.
Find pet Step by Step:
1. Do quest "Meet the Scout" (find quest in Vale of Eternal Blossoms from NPC Lyalia (Alliance) or NPC Sunwalker Dezco (Horde))
2. Kill elites in Krasarang Wilds which drop
Domination Point Commission (Alliance) or Lions Landing Commission (Horde), u need 2000 of them to buy Rodent Crate
3. Buy Rodent Crate in Krasaramg Wilds from
NPC Proveditor Grantley (Alliance) or NPC Ongrom Black Tooth (Horde)
4. Activate crate and catch pet :) (20min last)
These are a triggered spawn needing 2000 of the new tokens to buy the box of rodents from the vendor they are visible by everyone and spawn for 20 mins
**Edit** Wow the box now lasts an hour!!
@Allaana, These spawn under VERY specific circumstances:
1. You need to have completed the Horde or Alliance intro quests beginning with 'Meet the Scout' and is obtained at 90 from a member of your faction outside your shrine. Alliance side: Lyalia <Sentinel Commander>, Horde side: Sunwalker Dezco <Dawnchaser Chieftain>. Once you get through the cinematic after a couple short quests, you will be in the right phase.
2. Next you need to collect Lion's Landing Commission Horde side, or Domination Point Commission Alliance side. You will need 2000 commissions to buy a <Rodent Crate> and the commissions drop off any of the opposing faction NPC's in the opposing faction camp. Lesser NPC's drop 1-2, and tougher ones drop 3-4, and the faction rares drop 9-11 on a 30-60 minute respawn so it will be a bit of a long grind.
To get Sumprush Rodent you will need:
1. Completed the startingquest's in the area.
2. Collect 2000 Lion's Landing Commission(H) or Domination Point Commission(A) as you gain from killing mobs at the opposit faction location.
3. Go to youre factions Collector of Commission and obtain Rodent Crate.
4. Place the Rodent Crate on the ground and the little Sumprush Rodent will spawn all over the place. They are zone-wide!
NOTE: it last 1 HOUR now..
I showed up to do my dailies to gather the tokens and found that somebody else had dropped a crate. I read somewhere that they spawn 7-9 rodents/crate. Either that has changed with a patch or there was a glitch because I battled about a dozen...eventually ended up with a lvl 22 and lvl 23 uncommon (one balance and one health). While I was disappointed that I didn't find a rare, the pet charms in Draenor will fix that. I *did* get one of each color.
Carpeverpa - there is another explanation, you were there when someone else opened a crate....
CRZ issue! During a recent crate drop we discovered that when the group is from varied servers the addition of a new person can port the group away from the realm the crate dropped on, and removal of that person does not put the group back with the crate. We lost our crate about 20 minutes in, and they last about an hour now.
These come in two colors - beige or blue, and maintain those colors post-capture (I picked up a rare of each color for no particular reason)
Went to the Offensive to do my dailies, lucky me..someone had just put out a crate! I battled pets for 18 of the 20 minutes..snagged a rare Rodent as well as it's secondary spawns..upgraded my Spiderling, Shore Crab to rares :) The rodents continuously spawn for the full 20 minutes.
I happened upon the rodents already up as soon as I finished the short questline to unlock the island. I engaged a rodent and found it to be an H/B rare and after capturing it happily, I thought I'd try for a B/B since no one was around. Well, I engaged one other rodent and it was a B/B rare!! I can't believe my luck. Thrilled! <3
I don't PvP. Is it possible to earn enough rep/rewards to get the crate which spawns this pet by doing the quest chain and/or dailies without engaging in PvP?
a small thing that may be worth noting that these are phased, if you havent opened up Domination Point buy doing the quest with Garrosh and lighting the way (cut to cinamatic) you wont be able to see them, even if you are partied with the person who dropped the box.luckily its only a quick quest.
When I used my crate today, I planned to cancel battles and kill the non-rares as is normal in other battles (and mentioned here by others). However, I was unable to kill any of the spawned Sumprush Rodents. The only way to "remove" them to force respawns was to defeat them. I don't know if this is a permanent change they've made, or if it was a glitch. I managed to get a rare of both colors, but it took much longer having to complete each battle.
I went to grind at Bilgewater Beach. I was able to go to kill all non-animal mobs to have 1-4 Domination Point Commissions drop. The Jungle Shredders gave the most, but killing groups in the building gave 10-12 each time through. I got 2000 Domination Point Commission in a little over 2 hours.
I then bought the Rodent Crate, released the beasties and tamed three.
On a higher level toon grinding the commissions takes 1.5-2.5 hrs. The area w the logging machines was the best drop rate for me as alliance.
Just got mine tonight...oddly enough, each of the two colors counts as a unique pet in my pet journal
for the fast people, i opened a crate and it has 25 minutes left. Argent-Dawn EU at lion's landing!
I got Lion's Landing open in Krasarang Wilds, I did the grind for Domination Point Commission x 2000 for the Rodent Crate-told family to get Lion's Landing open - once I got the Crate, & then after they opened Lion's Landing (just open the Lion's Landing to pet battle them if someone else opens up a Crate)-I opened the Crate by the lighthouse, they started running around by the lighthouse, FP, Daily Quest Givers, in that area (that I was in)...and the 4 of us all caught three each.
You can kill NPCs to get the tokens, you don't even have to get flagged.
On very rare occasions I have seen these as secondaries in Krasarang Wilds. I don't know if this is something that changed after release of WoD, but I kid you not I have seen them. The character that I level battle pets with has never even done the Domination Point quest line so there's really no other explanation for it.
