Spawns inside Blackrock Mountain, it does a loop around the circular path inside. This new rare has been introduced with patch 5.1, as part of 148 new beasts. More information on those new tamables is available on Petopia

Just tamed this little guy at 5:58 ST on Moon Guard.

He seems to spawn RIGHT by the chain going up to BRD and starts his pat going UP the circle. :3 Hope this helps! I couldn't find any info on his spawn point anywhere.

Kommentar von bigworm2

Ran into this guy in BRS right after coming into BRS from Burning Steppes, quite a surprise as I hadn't known about him being added in 5.1

The chromehound doesn't make noisy footsteps like the 'regular' ones so that may appeal to some folk.

Kommentar von 5FDPFan01

i actually was quite excited after my first run a couple days ago on my DK through BWL... after my first run i wanted to go out and pick up extra loot that i may have forgotten... when i got out i fly around on my bronze drake so i can get to the exit behind the mountain... as i was about to go out i look to my right... i see him walking toward me... so what i do is i log off as fast as possible, get on my lvl 87 hunter and i fly as fas i can to the mountain, i was scared when i saw a lvl 90 n-elf hunter there, but as i was flying around to look... i see him under the chain leading to the rock in the middle... and i was so excited that i just tame him and yell to my guild "YES! VICTORY!" and im still happy bout it... and that i got my minfernal the same day XD

Spawned and tamed on Ysera at 1330.

Though added to NPCscan I received no alert for him, and he showed on my map as a hostile beast instead of neutral.

Very easy tame. Freezing trap, cast tame beast and that was it.

Great looking pet. Good luck to all!

One of the newly added rares to Blackrock Mountain, their purpose is for hunters to gain access to new exotic pets.

I'm glad that it is accessible to everyone but at the same time, the model is no longer special, so meh.

Just tamed him on frostmourne. Wasnt expecting anything and suddenly there is this giant chromehound in front of me, 5 seconds later he is sitting in beside me.

Does anyone know what the spawn timer is?

Blackwing Lair is very easy to solo now, so don't waste time camping for this rare model. Just go to Blackwing Lair and tame him there. The first boss was the only real issue to soloing BWL in cata. With 5.1 the time needed to destroy eggs has been greatly reduced, so just channel the orb 3 times (twice if you time it right) and you should have no problem killing the eggs and the boss.

Only thing I dislike about Blizzard putting this beast in is that there is no skill to obtain this pet anymore. I got my pet back when they made Chromaggus tameable. It was an awesome experience and having done it with m8s made it even more memorable.. Blizzard lacked vision on this one.. they should leave him out for a month then remove it in my opinion..those that snoozed should loose..

Kommentar von Sylverwing

I believe the spawn coordinates are around 64, 53. I was flying around the entire room and that's where he was coming from headed up the hill. Hope this helps!

tamed at 3:29 GMT Drakkari

took me 3 hours to tame it, respawn time may be from 3 to 5 hours if not more

Kommentar von Brecc

I tamed him on my hunter today, at 6:50pm server time(Cenarius). He does indeed spawn at the top, by the chain, and when I found him, he was moving counter-clockwise around the pathway. So if you are sitting at the chain, he was walking to the left, away from you. I hope this bit of information helps!

Miyung lvl 69 Alliance Pandaren Hunter, Cenarius

Tamed 1:45 pm Server Time. Whisperwind.

Kommentar von Zaviothan

Tamed him today on EU Grim Batol server, on my way to do BWL & MC Prequests on my newly lvl84 hunter and it was walking around the circular path as mentioned before me.

Identical skin & Abilities as Chromaggus.

Kommentar von Bladewoolgar

It's worth noting that,if you're a high lvl hunter, the alternative is always to tame Chromaggus I had no idea blizz actually added the chromehound, but I knew you could tame this boss ^^

Kommentar von Jaleeni

Tamed him about an hour ago on Dragonblight. I'm so glad they made a rare spawn for him.

I remember seeing another hunter with him a few years ago and instantly wanted him. Sadly no one ever wanted to help me.

Now I finally have him at my side. :D

Kommentar von BMHunterDelaini

This informational probably isn't accurate as it was a very unusual case - however.

Yesterday at around 12pm server time I flew over to find him dead. I was disappointed however I shrugged it off and went about my merry way. So today again I flew over at 11am server time to find his body had not despawned. I knew it wasn't that someone had killed him because there was no way they could have killed him in the exact location over again, but just to be sure I waited an extra 10 minutes to see if his body despawned and it didn't.

So I opened up a ticket - because I knew that if he didn't despawn than a new chromehound wouldn't respawn, I only had to wait about 15 minutes for a GM who kindly despawned him for me, so I went up to the chain where everyone says that he spawns and decided to wait.

Well I didn't have to wait long! About 10 minutes later out of the corner of my eye I see a red dot on my mini-map, and I realize it has to be him (as I am only tracking beasts) I jump down and quickly tame him. His coord. when I tamed him where (64.52) (53.26). This was on the Dawnbringer server. So in essence he spawn around 15 minutes after her was despawned, I do not know if this will effect the spawn timer on my realm further or if it has been set back to normal.

Kommentar von Puhsy

Make sure you have Beast Mastery on or it will tell you you can not tame this! It just goes around the circle so no point in searching any where else. What I did was just woke up early for school a little bit, assuming no one would kill it, and it was there. I would just go around the circle every other hour and do stuff on other characters while waiting unless you really want it...
Edit: You can only use this Pet in Beast Mastery, it will not let you use in Survival or Marksmanship!

Tamed at 12:39am Server Time on Frostmourne

Kommentar von timidfennekin

Remember that you need to be 69 to tame. Unfortunately, I did not realize this on my lvl 62 hunter after camping him.

Kommentar von medasin

3:30pm Lightbringer time. Spawn

Kommentar von Otinashi

I suppose it's nice they made a rare spawn with the exact skin as Chromaggus, but they could at the very least make it a different color, as I, and others, put work into taming the actual raid boss. More of Blizz devaluing the efforts put into their game by players, then wonder why subs are down. *shrugs*

Kommentar von zids

Guess my Chromaggus isn't so special anymore... Meh. Everybody has one already anyway, would've been way nicer to add something we didn't have before, like a tamable one with Void Hound looks...

Kommentar von 1129238

got my hound at 7:01pm realm time on silver hand

Kommentar von 219509

I just tamed him on shadowsong his timer is 3 hrs.

Kommentar von Jacol

Named mine 'Dragonborn' ... lol :p

Kommentar von Eido

Remember to dismiss your current pet before taming if you are high level! That sounds obvious until you're retarded like me...

I was flying in on my lvl 90 hunter and forgot I hadn't dismissed my pet. So I landed with my mount and pressed Wildtier zähmen.... My active pet didn't like that too much and 1-shot the Chromehound.

Just passing this information on in case it prevents it from happening to anyone else! Good luck!

Kommentar von Sioranth

Tamed at 9:57 AM EST on a Thursday on Wyrmrest Accord. I logged in once an hour since 8 AM.

Kommentar von koldhearted

If you want the Ancient Hysteria/Blood lust ability and still want to be unique and not use the fel hounds, some nice easier to get alternatives are

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=14020#comments Boss in blackwing lair. Requires attunement and passing a few difficult to solo bosses

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=50842#comments Rare spawn just to the east of black rock mountains

Kurken on Azuremyst Isle. Personally i think this is by far the easiest one to get. A fast way to get him is to fly to darkshore and fly to a town called "Lor'daniel." From there fly toTeldrassil. Even with a 150% flyer you can beat the fatigue timer. Go to the western most boat dock and that'll take you to Azuremyst Isle. Die in "the exodar" and resurrect where it sends you. He is in the back of "silverpine Hold." Much faster than waiting 3 hours on a respawn imo

Kommentar von furdude2

Tamed on Gnomeregan, 2:33 CST 1/29/14 (did not know this guy existed til today) Happen to be going in to do the Lunar Festival stuff an stumbled over him almost.

Kommentar von wrocamb

Today was my lucky day, stepped inside Black Mountain, looked to my left. Bingo he was there. Wow that don't happen to often to find a rare on the first time.

Kommentar von zenshu

Just tamed at 10:31PM server time on Garona US. I was tabbed out of WoW reading comments here to see what his spawn time was since someone murdered him earlier today before I could reach him to tame. Tabbed back over and he was standing there attacking, or rather attempting to attack, my afk self. tamed, renamed and flew away

Kommentar von 1350146

Just tamed on Moonguard at 2:01pm. Been waiting on him since 8 o'clock this morning! I tamed Chromaggus already because I couldnt find Chromehound. But thats totally fine. I'll take both! lol

Kommentar von goldanthrowolf

In all my years, I didn't know there was a mob here. I was coming out of the Spire maps, was like.. what.. is that.. saw it, killed it. I got a green and a pittance of silver, then came here. Too bad it was tamable, arg. :(

Kommentar von TattedAngel

Group member just tamed him @ 10:15 pm (Terokkar) @ 64:54. That is his exact spawn point! Good luck hunters!

Just tamed him at 9:30PM server time! Had just gotten to the area too! Lucky me!

Kommentar von Calirion

Let's see What you need to know

Basics

be a Hunter with and make sure your active Spec is Beast Mastery
have a free pet-slot to tame him into
be at least Level 49, because as you know, you can't tame beasts that have a higher level than you do

Why tame Chromehound?

Any Downsides?

As mentioned quite a big pet. The spikes make him huge. I don't suggest it, but I will mention that there is your lovely minor Glyph of Lesser Proportions if size really were an issue for you.

How to tame him

Go to Blackrock Mountain.
You'll end up in the inner Circle
(optional) Turn on Hunter Tracking for Beasts
Spawn-Time around 2 - 3 hours so make yourself comfortable

Nowadays there isn't a lot competition for these pets but even so running dungeons or going to far away might still cost you the tame. On my first try I entered Blackrock Mountain expecting nothing so I accepted a summon in the absurdly same moment he spawned right in front of me. Of course he was gone when I came back.

Alternatives to Chromehound

The Kurken - if you are a lowlevel Alliance Player and just want to have a Core Hound for the Group Buffs
Chromaggus - if you don't like to wait for spawn times, are a high level Player and/or have some friends to help you run Blackwing Lair

Kommentar von ganny

I happened to be on my Mage alt, flying through Blackrock to go solo Molten Core for transmog pieces, when I spot this guy walking around the inner ring. I've been playing WoW solidly from 2007 to 2013, with periodic resubscriptions up until now. In all that time, not once have I ever seen a chromehound wander the inner ring of Blackrock Mountain. I was pleasantly surprised at seeing something new and unexpected, even if it's something that's been in the game for a very long time.

Kommentar von Datboi

I just use rare scanner with Server hop and it works amazing just download the addon and click it and you can change servers until you find one with the rare spawned

Kommentar von Ichibanana

Ok, guys, I have been camping this critter off and on for 5 days now! Does he even still exist?

Kommentar von SouthlandHoosier

There seems to be nothing more in the game that people enjoy than killing rares, especially when they realize a hunter is waiting to tame one

Kommentar von JohnEsgarth

I was at Blackrock as part of my Uuna pilgrimage. I opened the map for awhile and when I closed it Chomehound was just casually walking up in front of me Lol. I was a bit stunned for a moment then I dismissed my pet and tamed him.

Kommentar von 360fov

He spawned at 15:25 BST on Argent Dawn, just tamed him after a quick decision on which pet to abandon.

Played since vanilla, never seen him before, I saw his portraits from a rare mob addon, googled him, and a few minutes later he spawned. Not usually too lucky in WoW so this was pretty cool.

Kommentar von Trumpsalot

Hey guess what so today I saw him I got there first I was about to hit take then some jerk killed it in front of me I went ballistic

Kommentar von Trumpsalot

I am not chuffed with them killing the tame what a jerk

Kommentar von Trumpsalot

4 days camping after that guy killed him

Kommentar von Trumpsalot

I’m so miffed tho 4 days and counting

Kommentar von Phaldor8

Wow...just Wow....was sitting here reading the comments about all the camping and missed opportunities due to jerks, went back to the game where I had been hovering just above the walkway in the center, turned on track beasts....and THERE HE WAS! I usually just give up and solo Chromaggus (which is 100%, but a PITA because of the welpling chamber).
