Prior to The Shattering, the Azure Whelpling dropped from Blue Dragonspawn, Draconic Mageweaver, Blue Scalebane, Draconic Magelord in Azshara.
After Patch 4.0.3a this pet was relocated to Winterspring as a zone drop.
Like other members of the blue dragonflight, these whimsical little critters display an affinity to arcane magic.
I really didn't know anything about Battle Pets when this dropped, so much so that I even went as far as just leaving it in my bank inventory for the longest time. I tried to sell it at a very reasonable price (way below actual value) but nobody had interest or just didn't see it. When I finally discovered I liked doing pet battles, I decided to keep it and to add it to my collection. There it stands as a reminder, ignorance is bliss. ♥
I'll never forget the day I got this pet -- It was way back when it still dropped in Azshara. I was waiting for a summon for a raid and decided to try my luck and get a few kills in. It dropped on my fourth kill (I swear, Blizz was just taking pity on me for the hours and hours it took for the Emerald Whelpling). Just after looting it, I got my summon to my raid, and ran the whole thing with this little guy chasing behind me.
True Love.
I was helping my husband clear out his duplicate pets (he's only JUST NOW getting interested in them) and noticed he had this one. I commented. He said he was going to put it on the auction house since it was so rare. I cried (well, not really). Today, he decided to GIVE IT TO ME.
I am so happy. Now if all my farming of oozes in Swamp of Sorrows would finally pay off...
The mobs you're seeing with the higher rates (the Kel'theril ghosts, for example) are likely mobs that respawn faster, and so there's more data for them since people farm them more often.
That said, please update the drop rate on this!
Make sure you guys are using the Rarity addon, which I am sure most of you are, but this helps counting how many times you have loot a mob with a chase of dropping a pet. Along with knowing if a mob drops a pet.

Got mine today! Seriously lucky. After about 250 kills it dropped. The best farm area is to the right of Everlook, all of the shamans and ursas. The respawn rate is fast and you get some good greens out of it too. There is also a rare that spawns in the area Grizzle Snowpaw, and he has a 0.09% drop chance [which is higher than all of the mobs in Winterspring (0.01% to 0.05%)] but his respawn rate ranges from 3-6 hours.
Happy hunting <3

Confirming that this still drops off the fast spawning mobs in the Mazthoril cave as of patch 5.4.2.
I personally had some confusion because wowhead did not list it as a drop for any of the mobs inside the cave (out of 100,000+ kills), and was beginning to wonder if it had been removed as a drop from those mobs because they respawn so quickly.
But thankfully, it does still drop off the mobs in the cave. In my opinion, easily the fastest way to farm this pet.
Took me about 4 hours for it to drop.
OMG - I've killed the Winterfall Village a ga=zillion times and still no drop. thoursands of kills...I know it will drop at some point...if I live that long. I dream that place now!
Got this today. Farmed winterfall village. East of ever look. Noticed the npc's started spawning faster and dropping better loot including blues. About an hour into this it dropped. I've noticed this seems to be the same on all the whelpling drops. Watch for the extra loot to start and the pets will drop soon.
After 3 days of off & on farming in Winterspring- I got one after about 500 hits. I just stayed in the Winterfall Village and kept hitting the bear guys. They respawn pretty fast and I thought it was pretty easy just time consuming. Just keep trying and stay in that village!!! Good Luck! -Lanolan Zul-jin Horde
I've named my Azure Whelpling "Awbee" in honor of the poor lost little whelp in Blackrock Spire. I did her quest back in the day, and it was one of my favorites. I always wanted to take Awbee with me as a pet. I was so happy when they added this pet to the game!
