Thundering Serpent Hatchling

Odd ... I own 2 of these lil guys yet he no longer shows up as collected for me.  I had named one Flash and the other Gordon - so I went back to the default name and re-imported.  Still not showing as collected. Perhaps it is just a glitch - hopefully it will be corrected soon.

If you're interested in this pet please check out the Community>Forums>Pet Collecting>Thunder Serpent Hatchling guild list. It should be a sticky and it lists guilds (US/EU/Horde/Alliance) that are willing to accept new members who want to grind for the pet.

He starts as uncommon, but with a quality stone becomes an improved version of the Wild Golden and Jade Hatchlings.  At uncommon, his stats will almost be equal to a rare of them.  He has the same abilities, but can have higher attack power and a cool lightning visual effect.  Like the Hatchlings, the Call Lightning/Cyclone combo is very powerfull for fighting a full team.

Don't hold your breath on seeing a positive post on this.  It's in the containers and most folks are smart enough to not waste their money.

Really dissappointed he originally starts as an uncommon pet. :(

After being out of the game since WoD, this pet is now appearing in the Black Market Auction House as of 9.1.5.

Has anyone ever seen the Thundering Serpent Hatchling on the Black Market? :)

UNCOMMON QUALITY when learned... Seriously... After all the gold and hours spend Gold Challenge i think this is a rip-off... Wild Jade Hatchling has the same skin and abilities and can be tamed as rare, therefore this pet gets the "indifferent" vote from me.

For those that have seen it on BMAH (never seen yet) is it BOE/BOP or BOA?

No responses but I finally found it on BMAH with the help of friends, bought for 525k and its BOP, not cageable. Wanted to share just in case others were seeking the same questions.

can confirm it can be in the BMAH as a stand alone item. it was showing twice in one week recently, but they both went over 5 million gold and i lost both :(

i don't think it would also be in the random bag but i could be wrong

Can someone tell me if this pet is still aviable for purchase via guildtrader (if the guild owns respective achievment ofc) or its completely discontinued?

I really wish this pet were blue so that we could have a serpent hatchling in every color! Or maybe Blizz will add an "Azure/Cobalt Serpent Hatchling" as an achievement pet?!? 

Finally got around to making an alt for a guild that had the pet unlocked, went and quested up until I hit revered, then headed to the vendor -- only to see no pet. It looks like it's been retired, so if you don't have it, you most likely have missed out completely. :( I've put in a ticket to ask, just in case, but I won't have my hopes up. :c -- ETA: Yeah, according to the WCP forums, it's retired from the guild vendors and only available on the Black Market Auction House. D:

With regard to 'finding a guild' -

I just googled, "wow Challenge conqueror:  Gold on <servername>".  Where <servername> = my server.  Using the results, I researched the guilds and found an old guildie.  I contacted them, and got an invite on an alt that I'm leveling.  Currently 8k / 12k honored, will have this done within a week especially w/darkmoon faire and the BoA guild tabbard (100% rep gains).

My advice - contact those guilds and ask.  

After asking a friend to invite one of my characters to his guild and buying it, I found out that it has an Uncommon quality on buy. Which is fine. Upgrade it and level it. I just finished getting him to 25 before making this comment, and he's fantastic. P/P breed and he looks cool. I've named him Oz. :)

I saw this pet in the BMAH several times after 9.1.5 -- but it feels like it has not reappeared for several months. Can anyone comment, if it might have been removed again, or if you have recently seen it in the BMAH on your server?
