Skullripper
She's a clever girl.
Acquisition Guide
Skullripper is a mount that drops from the Skullripper rare elite in the Arathi Highlands zone during Battle for Azeroth.
Understand Warfront Reset Timing
Skullripper only spawns in BfA Arathi Highlands during the warfront cycle. The rare resets after each warfront faction control switch cycle, so you will need to check when your faction controls the zone before heading out.
Locate Skullripper Rare
Find the Skullripper rare at 57.15, 45.75 in Arathi Highlands, north of the Go'shek Farm subzone. Note that Skullripper is a level 122 rare, marking it as extra hard to solo.
Defeat Skullripper Safely
If playing as a melee, you can avoid Skullripper's two main abilities: move out of Gushing Wound when it is cast, and dodge sideways to avoid Ripping Claws.
Loot the Mount
After defeating Skullripper at 57.15, 45.75, loot the body for a chance at the Skullripper mount. Because this is a chance-based drop, you may need to return on subsequent warfront cycles.
Tips
Skullripper is reported to be slightly larger than other raptor mounts in the game.
