Malevolent Drone
The Aqir drones feast on heroes and cowards alike to grow their ranks.
Acquisition Guide
The Malevolent Drone is a mount that drops from Corpse Eater, a rare enemy in Uldum.
Travel to Uldum
Head to Uldum and navigate to Corpse Eater at 30.8, 49.7. This rare only spawns during the Aqir Unearthed Assault in Uldum.
Check Requirements Before Farming
You do not need to complete any 8.3 quests or the Battle for Azeroth intro to see and kill Corpse Eater. Characters at level 110 or above can see and loot him, but you must be at least level 110 to access the updated version of Uldum where he spawns.
Join or Create a Group
Check the in-game Group Finder (LFG) for Corpse Eater groups, as players frequently create them. If no group is active, you can trigger his spawn by clicking the corpses on the ground near 30.8, 49.7.
Kill and Loot Corpse Eater
Corpse Eater has a respawn timer of roughly 3 to 20 minutes. Blizzard increased the drop rate in a hotfix, bringing it in line with other 8.3 assault rare mounts. Players have reported getting the mount after approximately 100 or more attempts, so repeated kills are expected.
Tips
Corpse Eater's respawn timer ranges from 3 to 10 minutes, occasionally up to 20 minutes, making it one of the faster-respawning rares in the zone.
