Pet Battle

From Corporal Arthur Flew. Offspring of the black sheep, the black lamb is only found in the forests of Elwynn. Critter type. Note: If you caught one before patch 5.2, it will NOT count retroactively toward the Eastern Kingdoms Safari achievement.

The Black Lamb is a wild critter pet found only in Elwynn Forest, obtained by capturing it in the wild.

Guide awaiting review

1

Fly Circles Through Elwynn

The Black Lamb spawns throughout Elwynn Forest at roughly a 1-in-5 rate among other critters. Fly circuits around the entire zone and engage every pet you see that isn't a Frog, as killing non-Black-Lamb spawns forces new ones to appear.

2

Prepare a Low-Level Capture Team

Black Lambs spawn at levels 1–3, so bring a low-level or weak pet to avoid accidentally killing them before you can capture, since there is no way to capture with a high-level pet dealing full damage to a level 1–3 critter.

3

Check Quality Before Capturing

After initiating combat, check the critter's health to estimate quality — higher health generally indicates better quality. The Black Lamb can be caught as a Rare without needing a battle stone, and it offers better breed options than the Elwynn Lamb.

4

Re-Catch for Achievement Credit

If you caught a Black Lamb before patch 5.2, it will not count retroactively toward the Eastern Kingdoms Safari achievement, so you must catch a new one for it to register.

Tips

  • The Black Lamb has identical abilities to the Elwynn Lamb, but unlike the Elwynn Lamb which is only available in Uncommon at breed B/B, the Black Lamb can be obtained as a Rare with better breed options.
