Patch 5.1.0 | Posted: November 27, 2012
Can be found near Feral Scar Yetis south of Dire Maul.
Level 0: 0 0 0
Hunted by locals for years, this is an extremely rare specimen.
Please note, It is the cave SOUTH and to the west of Dire Maul, not the cave directly to the west. I camped teh wrong cave for days, hope this helps someone.
This pet has adorable toes.
Interesting pet, but with slightly askew stats. 273 speed is not really enough to take advantage of Thrash and get best use of Bash. 273 power is just slightly too low which makes Punch and Ravage feel weak. Mangle lasts for 10 rounds so that buff will be useful for more than just the Yeti. Ideal would be if you could breed a P/P and/or S/S version, then this could become a really powerful pet. Right now it's just avarage.
Finding these fellows took a few trips & a few rounds of clearing out the caves (though I don't know that that truly helps them spawn). It seems to be feast or famine with them. When they're up, they respawn faster than you'll be able to mow through them looking for a rare.
These pets have no self heals, but they're sturdy and hit like a tank against the right opponents. You may not want to use this when battling blues as they can often take out a foe in a couple of swats.
Found one poor quality outside the cave but several at the back of the long winding cave (uncommens and poors). Killing the yetis didn't spawn any for me, the yetis respawned but the pets didn't.
I went through all the spawns in the cave and found one rare but I accidentaly killed it :(
I hate when that happens
Lucky day, got a rare Yeti, rare rabbit and a pet stone. A message mentioned to try early in the morning or real late at night, parked a toon in the cave's and checked back, on the third day snaged him, WARNING: if a Stunted Yeti is close to one of the Yeti in the cave the battle damage will kill them, So I had to run up attract the Yeti , then turn and run a ways away from the Stunted Yeti so the battling didn't effect them! Good Hunting !
This is one of my favorite pets for battling those additional critters and dragonkin that pop up after the primary is tagged. He can take a lot of damage and he hits hard. He can one-shot Dragonkin with the Haymaker ability. When I looked for him I had to check back several times because they are not a continual spawn. It took clearing two spawns to capture the H/B rare. They only come in H/B breed so if you capture a rare, you are done! Good luck!
This fellow is excellent in battling... in fact, I've actually soloed Lucky Yi a few times (lucky times) with him. I also use him in the Fire Elemental battle. His haymaker, when it hits, is absolutely devastating.
like others, it's feast or famine... more famine for me so far.
to the comment about critter killers, this guy and the kun lai runt are both great critter killers... I haven't found my stunted yeti rare yet, so haven't leveled them, but my runt is a primary in any pet battle involving critters.
If you glance at the battle info, this guy looks like an amazing critter killer. Strong attacks and strong defense. I haven't tried him yet but I suspect he will be my go-to squad exterminator when fighting wild pets.
I finally captured a rare after several hours of frustrating hunting. The one I caught was actually outside the cave system. I can confirm that they do spawn all through the caves and in the small grassy area too.
Found mine in the cave who's entrance is at 53.13,56.22... (cave south west of Dire maul with lightbeam in front of first passage and then into the next cave with the homing bot chicken lying at it's entrance). A fly over did not show the pet icon, only as I entered did it appear... could have been fluke timing for a spawn but guess it's better to go in and not count on being able to see it from outside.
-this was at 14h00 server time EU. I didn't see anyone else hunting but only one spawn
i am on the Dalaran realm or server. I am at the location and gone through the cave like 3 to 4 times and it is now going on 630pm eastern time zone. And, I do not see one single stunted yeti. and no other wild pets in the area either. I have not had any trouble before with locating a wild pet. I only have limited issue until I can afford the Legion upgrade. Any other possible advice to find this pet.
I was extremely lucky and got a rare one my second battle; found the rare in the cave as well as a uncomon outside. I also realized it takes a while for them to respawn, so if you go there and there are none you might be waiting a while.
After an hour i finally found a rare one - and then an untimely crit killed it. ;__;
Caught one today, uncommon quality, moonguard surver 7-13-16 at 1:48 surver time, i saw 2 more around, and left them for other people if others get the change to grab em.
If you Stun it allows you to switch to another pet and start the round at the same time as the other person. This pet is useful in stacking damage with the Mangle ability if you have battlefield Dots in play.
Lots and lots of yeti's! On Alexstrasza server around 12:30 AM. Not much luck finding a rare but plently of uncommon and comons in the larger cave.
Must have been luck, got a rare (H/B) at the first try at 51,57, in the cave. There were several other people farming for these at the same time. Staghelm @ 8:15PM server time.
Just decided to give this one a try. Checked all outside and couldn't find a thing. Went in the tunnels ad as I was killing everything, there was the paw print. Got me a green one. 4:16 pm Pacific
