One of the visually largest pets in the game.

A tribute to Snowflake, the worlds only known albino gorilla whom died in 2003.

Kommentar von kdark

Just got him on Burning Legion.
Got to Fungal Rock at about 16:00 server time... so it took me about 5 hours. Also got 40k exp and about 20 gold in the process :)

I recently tamed this guy in my third stable slot- He is great, but he didn't have thunderstomp rank3, and I didn't already have it.

I strongly suggest you get Thunderstomp rank 3 off another gorilla before going after Uhk'loc, just in case.

This is my story about my first meeting with Uhk'loc. It is kind of funny and long. But here it goes :)
I was level 51 and doing quests in Un'Goro and when I pass the Gorilla cave I decided to go in and to see how Uhk'loc look like in the "real" world. After fighting my way through the cave I could finally see on the minimap the dot that had the label Uhk'loc. I was so excited since I had read all these comment about how many times some hunters has been in this cave to look for him. I took a deep breath and fought my way near him and finally I could see him. He was in the room with another gorilla and U'Cha. First I pulled the normal gorilla and that was easy. After that I pulled Uhk'loc when he was not near U'Cha, and only Uhk'loc came and I was fighting him when i realised that he was ONLY level 52 and I was 0.5 bar from dinging 52. So now I had to make a fast decision. I let my pet fight him. I could demiss it and stable it at a Stable Master and come back to tame Uhk'loc or just do a Feign Death after I had abandon my pet. But the issue was that my pet is Humar the Pridelord. So here is what i did; I dismiss my pet and did a Feign Death. When I was out of combat I called my pet to me again. Now time was against me. Running out of the cave and aggro all of the gorilla I could get on me while ordering my black lion to aggro them. Out of the cave i was still hunted by severals gorillas. But out in the free I did a Feign Death for the last time. Out of combat I ran as fast I could away from my poor black lion that was fighting a fight that could not be won. I finally reach Marshal's Refugee. Turn in those quests I had completed and dinged 52. Then I found the flight master and went to Gadgetzan and stabled my black lion. Went back to Un'Goro again and then as fast as I could get my legs to the gorilla cave. Run straight in aggro them all and when I was at a certain corner in the cave I did my last Feign Death and out of combat I tamed a temporarily gorilla to fight for me. But his dot was not to be spotted on my minimap yet. Had someone in the meanwhile been in here and downed him? There was still four more gorillas between me and the spot where I spotted Uhk'loc before my long journey to Gadgetzan and back. After fighting the second of the fourth I finally saw his dot on the minimap. I was happy! Two more gorillas to go. When I finally stod in front of him I trashed my temp pet and put down a freezing trap. Aggro him with a Concussive Shot and as he ran against me I could NOT use TAME. Why?!? Then I realised that I was out of mana. A quick look inside my bags and I found a tiny mana pot. Used it and Uhk'loc entered my trap. Started to tame him. When he broke out of the trap I still needed 2-4 secs to tame him. He did hit me twice but I was afraid that he would knock me back. But he didn't and I did manage to tame him. I could not believe it ... that was a journey I will not forget :) Now I got a white gorilla and a black lion as pet. A happy hunter on Kazzak.

Kommentar von Ganic

NElf hunters could shadowmeld in a quiet corner of the cave near his spawn and minimize WoW with sound on in the background to listen for attacks, and just browse a site like WoWhead and check your map for tracking every once in a while.
When you see him on your map, just tame the nearest gorilla, clear to him, double-trap tame, and gg. I recommend getting a Thunderer and working on Thunderstomp 3 as you do your initial pass through the cave for a safe hiding spot.

Kommentar von rlloyd3

This gorilla shares it's coloration with a character from the fighting game Primal Rage. Conveniently enough, said gorilla is named Blizzard.

Kommentar von Dhazy

I've heard of people camping for days just to find this guy. Sheesh.

I happened to find him one day and tame him for myself right as a group of Alliance were pulling their way to him.

I guess I just don't really understand how rare this guy is. :(

Kommentar von 152321

I'm currently trying to tame this guy for my hunter who's gonna be a 59 twink (Gliscor, meet ya there!) and I'm clearing out the caves for alliance and killing gorillas so he can respawn faster.

Gliscor (Nathrezim)

Kommentar von Abaddon

I was clearing my way through the cave just doing quests when I noticed Uhk'loc on my tracker. I was 53 so I decided to go for him. Playing as a blood elf, I had met a friendly Draenei shaman who was helping me through. He seemed to understand that I wanted to tame Uhk'loc, so when I laid down the freezing trap he just let me have at it.

What I didn't know about was the knockback.

He broke out of the 1 trap I laid, knocked me back and interrupted me with about 1.5 seconds left on the cast. Hoping that his knockback had a long cooldown, I set down another trap and tried again. This time it hadn't even been 10 seconds before he broke out of the trap and knocked me back. Then he resisted feign death and killed me =\

By the time I got back to my corpse the shaman had killed him.

Kommentar von MeOhYeah

I use to be a nab, and i still am :) but i learn something important when i got Uhk'loc. i was so happy when i see im, delete my other rare pet. because this one was eaven more rare... i maybe got him for like 30 min - 1 hrs. :(

reason why i lose him: I didnt have food to give him, gorollas dont eat everything, all they want is fruitor something, and i didnt have that. i put him on "stay"x2-3 times maybe, and the time i was lvl 50 i didnt know pet's lose happynes when i did that...
...FINALY i knew where the food vendor was. I was running over a house. and i jump down, the pet didnt want to jump down, so he start to runn back and around the house. then i was out of range, and runn away :(

i did open a GM ticket, but sadly the GM didnt want to help me. i dont wanna read all the other comment here, maybe someone alrdy type this tip. and im sorry for make you read one more time.

so when u get a pet u DONT wanna lose be rdy, give him food so he dont runn away :)

good luck

Kommentar von Swampfox

Tamed him tonight after about 5.5 hrs of waiting. I was standing in U'cha's room the entire time, and afk'd only for drinks and smokes, never long enough to miss him. After an hour of waiting a couple of lowbies came in and told me that they had killed him about an hour before... which means right before I had arrived. If this is true, then he really is on a respawn timer of about 5.5 hours, give or take a few minutes.

Very happy to finally have this guy... I've seen him many times on various characters before my hunter, and had not seen him once on my hunter :( She's 70 now, so I get the oh-so-fun task of lvling him up :P I'm hoping that the rumor of bite becoming a focus dump in WotLK is true - if it is, he'll be my leveling pet :D

To all those who are waiting for him and becoming discouraged - have patience, he WILL show up :)

*Edited to add: If you have not picked up Thunderstomp rank 3, do so before you grab him!! I was 3 hours into my wait when I suddenly realized I'd neglected to learn it. Fortunately U'cha knows the spell, and I learned it off her on the first use (which you don't need to be in combat for).

Kommentar von 175062

Here's my sob story. I camped this guy for four and a half hours, clearing the room and never leaving my computer. I'm a level 55 NE hunter on Zul'jin. I made sure i had plenty of water and ammo and also that i got Thunderstomp 3 before I tried to tame him. So he finally spawns after all that time and the room is completely clear. He spawned very close to where U'cha spawns. I laid down a trap and abandoned my pet, clicked on him to target and bam.... a fricking BE pally tags him and takes him back to a Tauren warrior who was fighting a group of apes. I emote cry and all I get is a /rude and /laugh. I'm going to check back in about 6 hours for a respawn but I just have to say i dont get this Horde/Alliance be a jerk to each other thing. Close to 5 hours wasted and all so some jerk can laugh at my misery. oh yeah, qq more, l2p, roll a horde and all that (now you dont have to reply)

Wooot! Got him. He respawned 6 and a half hours after the BE tagged him.

Kommentar von Mandydeth

Caught mine today after 4 hours of camping and 6 hours of sleep i logged on right in front of him. I had a mage hold aggro for me while I layed my traps and tamed him. He looks much better than any other white skin gorilla.

Kommentar von 607

Knowing that the key to any great rare hunter pet is exclusivity, when I was preparing for this pet I continued to watch for it. I've seen it once so far - when I was level 51 and it was 52. I killed him. It is now 5 hours later, i'm nearly 53. In one hour he will spawn, and I hope to be 53, or to get lucky and have him spawn as a 52.

Hopefully Karma doesn't kick my ass.

Will post updates in an hour.

Kommentar von BMHunter

I don't know about this guy being rare, or on a exact spwan timer. After reading this page I decided I wanted to try and get him. I already have Humar and I like collecting the rare pets. I went to the location where he spwans and sat there for about 45 minuets until about 3:00 AM. I got tired and logged of, then logged back on around 5:00 AM because I got woken up. The game loaded up and I was there for like 15 seconds when he just magically spwaned right in my face. I tried pulling him, but he yelled for all the other gorilas' to help him. I feign and then killed all the other gorilas off. I freeze trap him and tammed him. Taming him was not a problem at all, because he was completely tamed before the freeze trap even wore off. I think this was because I am level 65 when I tamed him and my trap was too strong for him to resist.

I logged right back off after taming him, and then two hours later when I got up in the morning, I logged back on. I needed to hearth to shatt and get him food. When I logged back on two hours later, to my surprise he was standing there again.

This was on a Friday night and there were no updated or server issues, and the server did not restart. I don't know when he respwaned for sure, but it was less then two hours from when I tammed him.

Kommentar von 220147

To me uhk'loc looks quite a bit like Blizzard from the arcade game Primal Rage.

Kommentar von RainofTerra

I finally get to be the lucky jerk in one of these stories!

So today is my Birthday, and I watched the BigRedPet video on Gorilladin tanking in WOTLK/3.0, so I thought, whats the best monkey to get. I decided on Uhk'loc, and headed to Un'goro. Unlike Broken Tooth, who I camped for days, I was amazed to find him already up! I did the two-trap trick and quickly tamed him, took him back to Ironforge and gave him his new name "Creationism" :D

Kommentar von 57652

If you tame Uhk'loc now before the 3.02 patch will he jump to 5 levels below you when the patch is released or do you have to tame him after 3.02 for him to be 5 levels below you?

Kommentar von Ayrianna

I think I have to be about the unluckiest hunter around right now. I ran out to Un'goro to get this pet. When I started to walk in, I was really excited to actually see him on the minimap, and I ran up to him. But just as I was almost there, "Gorilla" attacked me with a level 53 horde behind him. I'm not sure WHY the 53 decided to attack the level 70... But I missed the spawn by only moments.

Kommentar von 66767

Just a quick reminder to everyone else looking to tame this guy: he does NOT have Thunderstomp (at least the level 52 spawn I tamed didn't have it). You need to learn it from another gorilla first. Lucky for me I had to camp him for a while so I decided to get U'cha (the level 55 quest ape that spawns in the same area) before him otherwise I'd have a stomp-less rare gorilla right now :)

Kommentar von Thrianarn

Currently been camping him as a level 60 draenei for about an hour or two now with no luck. A couple of horde hunters have logged in the area, but fortunately they went out after seeing he wasn't around. In fact, one even gave up and just hearthed away.

So far no Alliance has shown up, but I'm on a PvE server, so it doesn't matter. Hopefully I can come back here saying I tamed him without any troubles soon. :)

Kommentar von mazhop

I tamed him last night and man oh man, not only is he great looking, but can he take and give a beating as well.

Even at lvl 65 he can hold his own against lvl 70's and with volley, it's like shooting ducks in a barrel.

Kommentar von 225053

Tamed him just now after camping him on and off for a day.

Kommentar von 100188

Tamed @ 0415 (thats 4:15AM for those that don't know) on Elune server. He was just standing there when I walked in. I had already tamed U'cha when 3.0.2 went live and thought I would tamed Uhk'loc instead.

As soon as I saw Uhk'loc, I abandoned U'cha and tamed this guy. No camping was required.
For those that having been camping for hours on end, keep trying. I spent 10 hours one day until Humar spawned, so I know what it's like.

Kommentar von trollkind

D'oh! I was camping out for him just for an hour with a temp gorilla, watching some video in the foreground when I heard gorilla grunting and thought U'cha just respawned and came to close for comfort.
When I got the video paused and in the background I realize there is U'cha and ALSO Uhk'loc and my temp beast, being auto leveled to 65, already beat the crap out of the rare, so while I sick him on the other target instead and frantically try to abandon him asap, he Thunderstomps and gives Uhk'loc the rest. Gah!
So, when you are 70 and camp around there, don't have a pet with you, or at least have it on passive. Next spawn should be at 6:00 since this time he spawned at 22:00.

Kommentar von 232746

just caught one at 3:21pm server time on dragonblight server. i've been camping there all day, missing about perhaps 45 minutes when i left work for home. just as he spawned, a horde hunter came in and I was afraid he was going to kill it out of spite(have had that happened several times before), but instead cheered me on. I guess there's some good in everyone :) i'll check back in about 8 hrs to see if it really is on an 8 hr spawn rate.

i made a /target Uhk'loc macro and keybind it and key bind tame beast as well.

Kommentar von 232763

Uhk'loc has been tamed! The hunt is over! I camped the cave all day and finally at 8:55pm 10/19/08 it popped in front of me. Be sure to keep the mobs in the room with the pool of water cleared out. Kill U'cha everytime he spawns. Goodluck to all hunters.

Kommentar von 58048

I just tamed him at 12:45 am on Runetotem. I don't know when he was last tamed but it took him six hours to spawn from when I logged in.

Kommentar von 234817

Currently camping him right now on Illidan, horde.
Been here for 2 hours, and only have 40 minutes before I have to go to work for 6 hours. I'm pretty heart-broken, as chances are he will be killed or tamed by the time I get back.
I have a night of camping to look forward to, wish me luck!

Kommentar von lios

Do I dare say? I logged in today for the second time ever to have a look if I could find him... I lingered for about ten minutes before deciding I don't want it that bad... And it spawned right in front of me! Abandon pet, freezing trap, tame pet. Voila.

Kommentar von 244417

Just chanced upon him when heading to get a gorilla pet and when I was taming some ^&*!@#$s came and killed him.

Kommentar von 256547

I finally get to be one of the people to post here (^_^) Finally caught him at 3:23 AM Dragonblight server time. Been camping for this bastard for 2 days.

This is quite a long story but i just want to share my experience and how i tamed him. (^_^)

1st day:
Here's what I did. I have 2 toons on 2 separate accounts. A 70 prot warrior and 70 MM hunter. During the 1st day, while I was doing daily quests in Isle of Queldans with my hunter, I used my warrior to camp the cave in Ungoro at the same time. I had 2 W.O.W windows open at the same time. When my warrior got there, i was surprised he was there! I read a lot about the knockback effects so i thought since my warrior is here, maybe i can use it to tank him while my hunter tried to tame him. So, that's what i tried to do and i hearthed my hunter right away and flew straight to ungoro. When my hunter got there, i invited my warrior to a party and i used my warrior to taunt uhk'loc and then(alt+tab) and used my hunter to start taming him. My hunter started taming him but it stopped taming as soon as it started. I was like "WTF!" and tried again and again until i didnt have enough mana and i panicked. I tried using feign death on my warrior and then i remembered "wait, warriors don't have feign death!" and i started to panic and i tried using my warrior to run away to loose agro on uhkloc but when i did, i don't know what happened and he just suddenly killed uhkloc and i freaked out and yelled "WTF! NOOOOOOOOO!" I was so frustrated. The only good part about it was that i knew what time he spawned and if he was on an 6-8 hour respawn time then it meant that he would respawn at anytime from 9-11 AM server time so i decided to take a break and get some sleep. I logged back on at around 8am server time and camped for 4 hours using my warrior and hunter alternately. When i was doing daily quests with my warrior, my hunter was the one who camped and vice versa. I camped for him for 5 hours but he didn't show until it was time for server maintenance. I decided that i would just tame him the next day right after maintenance.

Day 2:
I logged on at around 12am server time but he wasn't there. I figured he might respawn at the same time i saw him yesterday. I proceeded to do what i did yesterday and i used my warrior to camp again while doing daily quests with my hunter, and just as i thought, when i used alt+tab to check with my warrior if he was already there at 3am server time, he respawned. i was so freaking happy and I immediately hearthed my hunter and went to ungoro. Since i was already 70, i didn't agro any gorillas and i just decided to kill the 3 other gorillas inside the cave with him and when he was alone, i used an ice trap and used concussive on him and tamed at max ranged. When he reached my ice trap, he wasnt able to break it and that wa sit. i FINALLY TAMED HIM!

sorry if my story was too long hehe =P Hope it was able to help and hope you enjoyed reading it. (^_^)

Kommentar von 243583

friday realm time 1:28am on aggramar. just tamed this beast :)

i saw him earlier today around 6 pm.... nice finally got him:) i tried to calculate the estimate spawn times... it worked:)

Kommentar von 113558

Trying to get this one myself at the moment. Gorillas are imo the best pets for leveling due to their high threat, high damage (500-1000), AoE and to get a nice white one is all the sweeter..

Anyhoo... use your time to at least get some fishing skill points, i recommend using this

#showtooltip Fishing
/equip Fishing Pole
/cast Fishing
/target Uhk'loc

Just put in the /equip part your fishing pole name.
You can get your fishing skill up to 450 in there, but the pond needs at least 205 fishing itself. (very lousy chance to catch anything at 205 skill)

Kommentar von 61376

Hah! I guess I'm just so damn lucky. After reading this thread, I logged in-game and made my way to Un'goro Crater to tame this guy. He wasn't around when I got there. After some twenty minutes of waiting, I was just deciding to log out on the spot and come back in a couple of hours when he popped right near where U'cha spawns. :D

This is probaby some sort of reward for my having to camp two weeks in the Badlands back in the days just to tame Broken Tooth.

Kommentar von 279843

Finally got that white bugger this morning... I went to sleep aroud 3am leaving my hunter in the cave and when i got up at 7 he was just in front of me :)
I a happy boozer right now and up for a beer heh

Kommentar von 31955

Found this pet via Petopia and I still needed a Gorilla to solo-pew-pew with, he was there when I was looking for him together with his mate, the brown one.

I named him after my guildmaster after taming :)

Kommentar von tuby10

hi,

guess what ( lvl 78 ) got it, I was comming from wotlk maps. this is the 5th time I came to this cave to date with it :D, and It was there waiting for me like an old friend. so just put a trap out there pull it with cc shot and then it was mine. so what happend after I DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE FRUIT! so I start running to Ogrimmar and buy some, hopefully he didn´t fly away. and now a got the whity with me :D. Ohh my.... he is soooo whity.!

nice pet.

Kommentar von 12690

I got him today. Pulled with a concussive shot, with a trap at my feet, tamed as soon as the shot had gone off. He was tamed just as the trap wore off.

Bugger crit for 2.4k with a stomp! Geez.

Kommentar von 275800

i read all these stories from hunters who have slaved for hours trying to tame this beautiful beastie, and i got him with amazing luck. i have been using a gorilla since STV (i am 63 as of the time of this post), and i just recently got into the idea of getting rare and beautiful pets. i found out about Uhk'loc only a few hours ago, and decided that i'd give taming him a shot, prepared to camp for him for a long time after reading all the comments above.

i flew into Un'Goro, got to the spot, and waited. after about 15 mins, i was lucky enough for him to spawn. i quickly abandoned my other gorilla and started taming, using frost traps and the usual routine. after about the 3rd attempt i tamed him. an Alliance hunter walked up just in time to see him become mine :)

he's beautiful :) doesn't even seem fair that some people spent so much time and i got him so easy, but i am happy :)

Kommentar von 126069

I finally tamed this beauty of a beast. After camping for about 3 weeks with my DK. And spotting him already dead on the floor. At **10:45, 37sec p.m. he was tamed and by a lucky allinace member as I logged into my DK. I parked my hunter in the cave and at exactly 8 hours to the tee. At **6:45, 37sec a.m. as my watch showed before he spawned, I cleared the area and tamed him at **6:48, 12sec a.m. The effort put in was worth every minute.

Summary:

Last time spotted: 10:45, 37sec p.m.

Time of respawn: 6:45, 37sec a.m.

Time tamed: 6:48, 12sec a.m.

** (server time)

Lvl 72 Hunter
Sisters of Elune (server)

Hope this helps anyone out there trying to tame Uhk'loc.

Kommentar von zariplz

Every time I'm in Azeroth (instead of outlands) I fly by Un'Goro to see if he's up.
The first time I ran in he was up, I threw down a trap, told the ally next to me to /wait (he was likely on the quest). Unfortunately, as soon as I started taming the Ally pulled aggro off me and killed him. I yelled about it plenty on General...Then after I /cried /mourned I killed the stupid ally and the quest giver in the camp.

>.<
Still tryin' to get him. No luck so far, at least the gorillas are good farming for Rugged Leather and Thick Leather, they also drop quite a few greenies.

Kommentar von 306495

Just tamed today, i was looking around for the Devilsaur then i thought id just go check to see if he was there. Walked up as a druid had him at 10%hp had to kill the druid quick and reset him. 1st i got knocked back, 2nd i did it properly lol and he was in the bag, I replaced my old on from STV (silverback).

he looks amazing, especially in Un'goro it looks like hes glowling :O

Kommentar von 41374

Noticed Scare Beast works on U'Cha hopefully that will buy time enough to tame Uhk'loc.

Kommentar von 232769

I camped him for roughly 6 hours until he spawned. My strat was to kill the other gorillas surrounding him and then concussive shot him and start to tame beast. Took me two tries until I finally got him :)

Kommentar von zariplz

Amazing pet, I love him to death and he was totally worth those three Sunken Temple Runs and the whole day I threw away camping his spawn and /paying/ people to camp it for me so I could level cooking nearby.

If you can, get him while you're in the area; it's a pain when you're questing and Nagrand to jump over there unless you have your hearth set to Gadgetzen. Which is just silly.

Kommentar von 313881

well i got this guy after about an hr and half or so of camping him easy tame at 70 not sure if any one posted this but mine currently lvl 65 i didnt look at the lvl befor taming but after taming hes well i should say she since i named her starlight but any ways shes lvl 65 now and if you dont already have everlasting underspore frond i reccommend it highly since its gives you free 10 fruit every 12hrs you can get 20 on hand and then another 10 from a cast so thats 30 at any one time and thats should last you for more then a game session so you shouldnt ever have to buy food not sure if a lvl 80 would eat it but she will eat them at lvl 70 atleast :) just an fyi if getting food for her i a pain or even if you just wanna save some coin :)

Kommentar von Keley

Just tamed it, my strategy was:

pull him, put freezing trap, disengage, start taming

lucky he didn't use Uppercut when he attacked me

He is absolutely awesome

Kommentar von 314781

Hello.
I too had humar as i went into the cavern, as lvl 63,
i just tamed this guy on Ravencrest :D
lucky, only waited 30min on the guy :D
absoulutely a beauty. my heart is still beating at full speed xD !

Kommentar von 233571

I tamed this guy yesterday (Around 3pm server time) and he was by the pool where U'cha is at, I remember seeing him when in the same place when I was a lower lvl. Now that I am a higher lvl and had cats most of the time as a pet I thought I would grab me a gorilla, hes pretty awesome looking and I spent just a couple of hours waiting on him to spawn....when he did I threw down a Freezing arrow and started the tame, worked like a charm and never got hit once! Good luck to you all in getting him as a pet! Now just to lvl him up :)

Kommentar von 313376

Spawned at 7:09 pm, server time, just as I was about to log after camping the spot for hours. Good thing I waited a few seconds.

I forgot to bring suitable food (duuur), so I immediately put 2 points into Guard Dog and had him fight a few mobs in the cave. His happiness went up very quickly and I didn't have to worry about losing him en route to a vendor. I've never had a pet run away on me so I didn't know how long it'd actually take... better safe than sorry, though. :p

Kommentar von Shaffer86

I've been reading all the comments people have left about this gorilla. I have only seen the gorilla like once when I was questing a long time ago. My hunter is level 55 so I'm hoping when I log in on him I'll be able to tame him. I just need to know if it's worth camping him or should I just level up quick and get level 60 and get an exotic pet?

Kommentar von Shaffer86

It depends on some pets for hunters how long it takes for their pet to run away. When I first started playing I didn't realize you ahd to feed your pet until I was informed about it. If I remember right cats, lions and I think bears are the ones who can go the longest without being given food to make their happiness go up. Remind you though that if they're happiness is up their dmg goes up. Not sure if some people knew that.

Kommentar von Oomie

I just got EXTREMELY lucky and tamed this beautiful Gorilla for my alt hunter!

I checked earlier today, probably around 11am, and he wasn't up.
I hearthed and spent the day questing, gained a level or two, and decided what the heck I'll check on it before I log!

On my way there I spotted a Orc hunter questing, and a undead mage making his way through to the back of the cave where she spawns.

I hastily made my way through the cave with track beast on, and what do you know, there he is! I quickly made my way skipping all the mobs, and thankfully finished my tame just as the horde mage came up behind me! Phew!

I named him Snowflake :3

Kommentar von Mareric

My girlfriend tamed him at 12:45pm server. Knowing that, I started camping his spawn 5 or so hours later. He re-appeared at 6am server, little under 6 hours later. Now we both have him on our hunters!

Good luck, hope this helps.

Now I just have to level him to 80 :(

Kommentar von SixCube

Just tamed on REXXAR Server 9:33 PM Server time

Waited for nearly SIX Whole hours in that damn cave! lol

Worth the damn wait!

Before 3.0 I was using a Boar as a tanking pet. With the changes I decided I'd give a Gorilla a try. I'd noticed every hunter I came across while leveling my other characters always had one. I took my level 65 hunter down to Ungoro and went to the cave. I had looked up the Gorillas on petopia.com to see what skins were available and Uhk'loc is the only unique skin (White). The black skin gorillas are all over the place outside the cave and inside. U'cha is a quest mob with a red gorilla skin model. If you want you can tame one of these guys on the way - or while waiting for Uhk'loc.

Fortunately for me he was already there. If you're thinking of picking him up now - it's probably a good time since all the other hunters have most likely already picked him up and moved on to level 80 by now.

A couple of notes to keep in mind when taming Uhk'loc:
-He will be traveling around in the same room U'cha is. Be careful if you're a lower level character not topull both ofthem - pull Uhk'loc alone.
Even as a level 80 - taming him is difficult because of his knockback ability - it will instantly end your taming cast and you will have to start over - he will keep doing this.
This leaves the only solution is to freeze trap him and immediately start taming so that by the time he is tamed he is still trapped. If he gets out of the trap he will immediately use his knock back ability to attack you.

Been sitting at the pond for two hours with nothing. Gotten lots of skinning done at least. If only I brought my fishing pole...

Just tamed this baby!If your a level thats more then 5 levels higher you will just have to level him 5 levels.Just use the simple feighn death trick to get the gorillas off you.I sugggest you go up to the top and if any gorillas are on you take them to the corner of the pond where that other gorilla isnt at and feighn death.Next you find a safe spot and wait there.I suggest a spot where you can see the pond.He eats bread fungus and fruit so make ure you get at least 1 five stack so when you find him you will have the right food for him.Once you see him just grab the gorillas in your way then go up to tameing distance feighn death and when all the gorillas are gone put down a freeze and start the tame.Make sure the othere gorilla doesnt come to you too.He can interrupt the tame.So just follow these directions and he will be yours.But it could be a long wait.Im pretty sure hes a tank pet.GOOD LUCK!

Awesome pet. I found him 9 hours after a server restart. I tamed him as soon as another hunter was coming up behind me. Ha ha sorry you have to wait. Used your normal freezing trap, concussive shot, and Aspect of the Monkey. no problems taming. Remeber to bring bananas. I named him Spankey.

Tamed on Frostmourne at 9:25 am Server time Wednesday 8 April.
Named Dandruff.

Happy Times :)

Edit: I pretty sure that was 4.5 hours after server restart.

hehe i waited for less than 5 mins at u'cha's little water spot, and he appeared right in front of me! c'est un morceau de chance!

OMG! This creature is killing me for %^&*s sake... Yesterday I saw him for the first time, he was then getting killed by a lock, something I failed to prevent. Then today im camping him and he spawns, but some mins before he spawns a hunter comes in, alliance (im horde on a pvp server) and we fight and fight and die several times. After some deaths and I run back and respawn again I see a freaking dk standing there killing him and im devestated and shocked.. I constantly kept on asking me wtf a dk were doing in un'goro, lvl 59 >.>. Then later today I logged on and camped him for maybe 1-2 hours and he spawns again. But some minutes before that there were 2x rogues (druid rogue and regular rogue) lurking around in the cavern and killing mobs + me. They killed me two times before I just spammed flare and ice trap, something which made them scared and they did not try to attack me afterwards. And then a couple of mins before he spawns the hunter from earlier that day, logs in and I kill him at the first moment I spot him. Then right afterwards Uhk'loc spawns and I abandon my pet and try to tame, but then the night elf hunter which he was (so he gets the 60% more run speed while dead and stealth wtf overpowered race!) spawns and starts attacking me. And me with no pet and Uhk'Loc hitting on me, I feign death and with an epic struggle I manage to kill her once more (she did have only half of her mana and hp). Then Uhk'Loc kills me since I only had like 400 hp left when the hunter died after our epic fight. Then I run back being really stressed out and thinking "please let me have him this time, please oh please!" and also thinking that it was !@#$ing lucky of that hunter to log in just a couple of minutes before he spawns, wtf is all that about? Well anyways back to the story, im running and when im about to respawn I see uhk'loc lying there on the floor dead... DEAD. The two rogues from before had killed him, seeing them and the night elf hunter there I did not respawn since I knew I would die with only half mana and half hp against 3x night elfs 53-54.. I was completely stunned and shocked by my bad fortune.. Me im lvl 60 so not so hard beating a lvl 54 hunter night elf, but a 53 rogue and druid (both night elf, doesn't really matter but thought I should say it anyways) is a bit hard seeing as they stunned me to death. Or well the rogue stunned me like a &*!@ and the druid ambushing me critting lots of hp away... Now it was time to tame U'cha (the brown quest monkey), as I did earlier when I tried to tame Uhk'Loc earlier.. I hope my story entertained you, and I really just needed to tell someone about this god damn animal that I want so badly.

****EDIT****

Now, just a few minutes ago about 16:30ish today (4:30 pm I think it is in the pm and am clock) I had already camped him for an hour maybe and logged out about 16:00ish. Well I logged in again at 16:30ish as said and I find him dead.. DEAD.. Again im devestated and thinking jesus christ give me a freaking break. Now I gotta wait for respawn so expect to be loggin on again in 5-8 hours, if im able. Have belief hunters. You may be spending a lot and when I say a lot of time I mean A LOT of time there in that dark cave in that pool. If you're on a pvp server like me it's a nice thing to have the track humanoids on cause then at least you're ready when there is alliance people comming in. I've tried to be nice to most of the alliance people by not killing them but most of them think im afk so they start attacking me... Had a lvl 51 hunter ganking on me >.>

****EDIT****

Finally got it yesterday right after installing the patch. Oh thanks god how happy i am, he's lvl 60 now. :D

Kommentar von 262382

I'm sitting in this moment camping for it, did alot of research. The time is now 9:22 Pm and read alot on this page about an 8 Hours spawn time, but i believe it's 6 hours instead, because earlier today, at about 1 Pm somebody had just downed it while i was logged off, and i've been out since, until for 1 hour ago, and it haven't appeared yet, but hoping to tame it today, well, if the time was about 7 when it spawned and eventually downed or tamed since it's not here i will put my alarm on for 0:30 Am and wait for it to spawn, so im just hoping right now, because this gorilla is just amazing looking, and since gorillas is the best tanks, and im probably going to use it like forever, i want something special. Well, wish me good luck, cuz i just want this...

Finally got him today, woke up, and logged on, and he was right in front of me, and i had absolutely no trouble killing him, first i took out u'cha, and went down in the pond, set a freezing trap, and started taming right away, and he didn't break out of the ice before he was tamed.

Kommentar von Tisera

Tamed him a few days ago 6:20 PM CET +1 on the Blade Edge's EU server.
Logged in and boom there he was standing in front of me. Abandoned U'Cha which i tamed while camping, put Uhk'loc in sleep with Wyvern Sting and tamed him.

Found him on Lightbringer at about midnight the 2/8 When i went looking for him on my 71 hunter when i respec to S. After reading all these comments on how hard he was to get, i was suprised that he was there on my first try. unfortunately i had to many pets. So i rushed back to gadgetzgan and abandon my first pet (Boar named Pumbaa) and rushed back there to the cave to find him still standing there. Man was i happy. I havent found a name for him yet. Enyone got some ideas :D

Kommentar von 342582

Been wanting this one for my hunter for a long time, about a year. Never seen him though I've looked for him a bit (Never camped him though). So today when I was doing the new ravasaur chain with my druid, I thought, why not not check if he's there? And he was there...

Logged in with my hunter, flew from TB, got off Marshal's Refugee, and then my internet broke down (which happens once a month at worst...) Took me 15 mins to get online again and though he was gone since it'd been about half an hour since i saw him with the druid. But he was still there, and I got him on the 3rd try! =)

I noticed there hasn't been a lot of posts to these comments after WoTLK, but I figured I'd add mine because I thought of this post in particular when I tamed my white monkey.

For some reason I've always loved Un'Goro. In leveling my hunter, I went there as soon as I could & cleared every quest I could see. Lack of preparedness sent me in w/o a mithril casing for Chasing A-Me 01 so after having a friend make me one, I headed back to the crater from the Caverns of Time portal. Since I also needed White Ravasaur Claws for Bone-Bladed Weapons, I figured it was worth the trip (not to mention getting the chance to put another day towards The Grow Up So Fast).

Coming down the ramp from Tanaris, I saw that Torwa Pathfinder was lit (!) up. Somehow, I'd missed The Mighty U'Cha. Great! I love clustered questing.

First, I ran through the piles of Ravasaur & collected all my White Ravasaur Claws. I did feel slightly bad because I had my Ravasaur Hatchling following me, but it's part of the circle of life, right?

Then, I rode up to the monkey cave & dismissed my pet. Pulling my favorite hunter ~~trick~~ technique for speed questing, I ran through the angry primates until my health was down to a concerning level (which happened to be right in front of A-Me 01) and feigned death. While I was waiting for my health to come back up I remembered that A-Me is an escort quest & figured I should take out U'Cha first. Looking at my map dots, I saw Uhk'loc & no sign of U'Cha.

With my health back up, I jumped off the cliff & ran back to the pair & saw that they were indeed both there. Feigning Death again, I had something to consider. For some reason, I had thought Uhk'loc was a level 54, I was 53 at the time & hadn't put up my trusty Agam'ar up because I didn't think I had the option to tame Uhk'loc at my present level. Much to my surprise, he was only 53 and I'd wanted a gorilla pet since first talking with co-workers about different pets over a year ago, having one with a unique skin was too hard to resist.

Knowing I could run back into RFK & solo tame a new one at any time, I used my trusty piggy to clear the area & abandoned him as he was fighting Uhk'loc. The excitement was too high & I mistakenly started the attempt with too little mana & health. After my unfortunate demise, I made another failed attempt, this time due to respawns occurring during the taming process.

Having put this much time into what was supposed to be a quick run into Un'Goro with a few completed quests & a hearth out, I wasn't going to leave without my reward.

My third attempt was much more controlled. I picked up a throw away monkey & ran it's happiness up with Glyph of Mend Pet. It was fortunate I had the glyph, because I didn't have any food to make a monkey happy. Tank talents learned, we proceeded to swiftly clear the area. I abandoned my temporary monkey with many thanks for his hard work and began the taming process on Uhk'loc. It took me a few tries to get the tame started at the right point, but I belive the winning combination was:
Wing Clip - Disengage - Freezing Trap - step back - Concussive Shot - Tame Beast

A few mend pets later & Uhk'loc was a happy boy & I named him Cranston. We killed & skinned out way to A-Me 01 & then escorted her to saftey.

A note on his tanking ability vs the Agam'ar:
If I allow Uhk'loc enough time to Charge, Thunderstomp, and Pummel; I can't pull the mob off him even if I unload everything.
The same did not seem to be true with my Agam'ar. Even allowing him to Charge, Thunderstomp, and Gore before letting everything fly, I could sometimes pull mobs off him. Part of this might be due to the 6 levels I got this weekend or possibly I spec'd them slightly differently. Either way, they're both great leveling pets & cool skins in general.

Thanks to all who took the time to read my long winded post,
=D

Found this gorilla on my paladin while leveling in Un'Goro (Al'Akir 23:06 in game time).

Thought to myself that since this is the only tameable white gorilla in the game I might as well tame him on my hunter. So I logged out from my paladin and back in on my hunter. She was in Dalaran so I had to teleport to Thunder Bluff, the fly to Un'Goro. Here I made a small mistake and flew to Gadgetzan. Corrected my mistake and mounted to run to the cave. When I finally got back to the cave the albino gorilla was still there.

A frost trap and 20s later he was mine ^^.

Kommentar von 715338

Yeah was hard at beginging cuz not only he was an elite but only cuz he make u jump all over the air and u gotta start taming again. What i did was just use the freezing trap and VOILA! he is awsome for survivals hunters and can hold agro beatifully... and ppl ask u all the time "wtf, where did u get it"? :P

it says he has the ability Battle Shout does he have to be 85 or do i have to do something with his tree?

I just got him! 8:10 EastCoast Bronzebeard realm, SO.. PRETTY. MUST.... HAVE! I just started farming today (being 85) it was easy ran around killed stuff ran around and killed stuff i logged for 2 hours it was 6 when i logged and logged on at 8:06 got stuck in the cave ran around and BOOM ran past a mage heading close to him i about fainted when i saw the mage about to attack! I set down freezing trap and tamed AS FAST AS I COULD, and now he is mine and his name is Bubblez >:D

Kommentar von 404198

After camping inside the cave quite regularly for 3+ days, I found him just outside on the hill like 2bsemperfl said in previous post. I don't know if this is a new spawn point, but if so it will be much harder for hunters to effectively camp Uhk'loc. Also not sure if he still spawns inside the cave. If anyone finds him inside, please post for the benefit of others. Wishing luck to all those dedicated hunters out there.

After waiting three days at the cave by the pool inside, using both track beasts and the macro to target Uhk'loc. I decided to go outside yesterday at about 6:15pm and he was outside by the little pond outside. Hitting the macro inside the cave didnt show him until I got to the entrance going outside and I finally got him! Maybe that is his new spawning spot.

At lvl 54 I had no problem. I just hit the freezing trap, started taming and he was mine!

I'm a happy hunter now!

Kommentar von 722089

just got this at 10:40 pst ( 1:40am eastern (server time) ) on Exodar-US
At first, i parked my toon inside the cave for 5 mins then my boyfriend asked me if i wanted to do a radom. I said sure, and headed out just to see if it was there before i logged and he was! I guess he doesnt spawn inside anymore?

Going to be my new tanking pet till I get madexx. ( which will probably never happen. )

Kommentar von tnhalbertsma

I'm a level 41 MM Horde Hunter, today I saw an Alli Hunter jn a BG with a pretty big white Gorilla. Any idea what it was? Couldn't have been this Uhk'loc or w/e guy becAuse thr other hunter was level 44 MAX. I'd love to get this guy tho, once I'm level 52+. I already have Humar (%^&* was CAKE. He was just chilling there when I got there, then I trained my leatherworking around there and he kept respawning, he doesn't have a long respawn I think). I also have Zarakh, hardest thing in the WORLD as a Horde character without ANY mounts. I was level 19 back then. But yea, any idea what that white gorilla was?

Kommentar von 806587

After roughly 2 days of camping off and on I found him at 63.0, 18.7 at 4:39 PM on Perenolde on the rock outside the cave like others have mentioned. NPCScan won't go off if you're in the cave, and I still don't know if he spawns in the cave or not, but as soon as I stepped out it went off and there he was. I can't say what his actual spawn time is, but like others I think it's around 6-8 hours given how much time I've spent camping him. For those looking for Devilsaur, as soon as I tamed Uhk'loc, I spotted Devilsaur walking around just a little south of where Uhk'loc was. Finally, I have my white gorilla! Now to think of a decent name...

Kommentar von 837624

He's the same gorilla as Tsul'Kalu found in Northern Stranglethorn at a level 28. Nice to have him for my tanking pet since I am only level 30. Found him two days in a row so both my hunters have him now. Also picked Pogyeyan while in the area! Nice to two unique animals to choose from. One for soloing and one for duns.

Kommentar von 849346

Just tamed him on Twisting Nether realm @ 7:03 realm time. I was waiting for about 40 minutes. Best thing to do is make a macro
/ Target Uhk'loc and hit it every 5 minutes or so. gl
Ps: can't wait to give him so Kibler's bits

Kommentar von 932002

Finally got it! While leatherworking on my druid i kept an eye out for my boyfriend for the gorilla. He spawned outside the cave near the pond, on the hill with the two palm trees.
We both had a mini heart attack when we saw him there and scrambled over each other to get to the keyboard and mouse.
Now we both have matching gorillas on our hunters <3

EDIT: We tamed it around 9:20pm realm time so no idea how long the gorilla was sitting there waiting. Im guessing only 10 to 20 min.

EDIT 2: Tamed a second time at 6:30pm realm time on Quel'Dorei. He was chillin on the hill with the two palms by the pond again.

I got this this evening on Argent Dawn at around 23:50 on 14/04/2012. Camped for about an hour earlier in the day but he didn't appear. Spent only 25 minutes tonight and he appeared on the rock just in front of the entrance to the cave and next to the pool of water. Really nice beast to tame. I suggest you frost trap him first then tame otherwise you will get knocked back. I knew this already so tamed him first time. Good luck and have fun.

I tamed him as a level 57 hunter. He was standing on the two rocks. He kept interrupting my tame pet and he killed me once. I tried using freeze trap and it worked perfectly.

Hello I'm a Night Elf Hunter on the Madoran server and I am looking to tame this guy as a kind of questing type pet but after camping in his spawn in Un'Goro Crater for up to 3 hours I can't seem to find him. I'm not sure if he doesn't spawn anymore or not so if someone could get back to me that would be great thanks:)

Kommentar von Ilgaten

Got this guy today. I was doing the last(?) quest in the zone on my pally, the one where the titan lady turns you into various creatures, including a gorilla. When I turned into a gorilla and appeared near the cave, I saw a white gorilla sitting on a rock right in front of me. I'm not a hardcore hunter or pet collector, but I knew I wanted that one.

I logged onto my hunter, who fortunately is 58, a few levels higher than the white gorilla, and I had to sweat out the flight path from Orgrimmar. I was relieved when I saw Uhk'loc still sitting there.

Here's my strategy for taming: I clicked on "Tame Pet." Reading some of these old comments, I kind of wish I'd played a hunter when taming was challenging. (OK, I used the Freezing Trap, too.)

Kommentar von opopanax666

Just tamed this guy with my lvl 56 hunter. Had to try twice, because his "stomp" interrupts the taming.
But if you put yourself at the edge of the "tame area", launch an ice trap, and start taming immediately, you just have enough time to finish the tame before his first "stomp".
If at first you don't succeed, run away until he stops chasing you, heal, and retry...

Edit: Oh yeah, he was sitting on a mound next to the small pond in front of the cave...

Hmmm cant believe you guys are just now getting Uhk'loc when he was so much easier to get in the Cata expansion, I mean I got him when he was at his previous spot which was in Stranglethorn so much easier, so yep I have Uhk'loc on my Night Elf Hunter and he is awesome great Tank pet and I named him Ceaser kinda like from Planet of the Apes.

I will never forget the day whilst trying to level up from 51 to 53 by just killing gorillas to be able to tame uhk'loc a "henriquerafa" came along power-leveling another alliance char came through the cave stared at me i /cry him and he followed by saying lol and 1 shotting uhk'loc

Kommentar von Akitnaya

Decided I wanted a white gorilla pet so looked this fella up & found where he spawns & flew to Un'goro Crater & sat around waiting, then decided to leave my toon in front of the spawn location & sign off to watch Super Bowl XLVIII. Came back the next day & as soon as I sign in, _NPCScan goes off only for me to find the dead body laying there. So I decided to come back about 3hrs later & sure enough he had spawned & nobody was around to ruin my tame.

Tamed around 10-10:30am-ish ( I don't remember) on Area 52 US.

I used my tame beast macro & this is what it is -
/tar <insert name of beast to tame>
/cast Tame Beast

(Just change the name of the beast/rare you want to tame & save & keybind to your #1 key. Saves a lotttttttt of hassle & brain fart! Good luck guys!) ^

Kommentar von vexx2000

Tamed this guy yesterday on Draenor EU server on 22:00 server time. I decided to tame this nice gorilla and after 4 hours of camping he was up. Uhk'loc is easy to camp because have only one spot , in front of the palm tree close to the spring and he is not moving. The only big problem with this one is heavy population of lev 50+ who make quests in that area and is a great chance for him to be killed in minutes after he is up. Server merging make this problem even worse. For this guy you need to be really lucky and tame him as fast as possible after he spawn otherwise it will be too late.
