Ironclaw Scuttler
Drops from Monstrous Spineclaw. With claws that can crush a platemail gauntlet, it's best to handle with care. Aquatic type. I have been looking all over the lava pools with no luck. But then I stumbled across three of them in the mountains east of the Bladespire Fortress (33,38).
The Ironclaw Scuttler is a wild battle pet found in Frostfire Ridge during the Draenor expansion, known for its crushing claws.

Head to Bladespire Citadel
Travel to the area east of Bladespire Fortress in Frostfire Ridge. The highest concentration of Ironclaw Scuttlers is found in the mountains above the lava pools, not near them. Start your search at 33.06, 38.84 and work your way through the cluster of spawn points at 32.9, 39.5, 33.17, 40.31, 33.52, 40.77, and 33.67, 41.39.
Use the Citadel Exit Path
If you want a direct route to the spawn area, enter Bladespire Citadel and find the exit door at 29.8, 36.75. Go to the upper area where the chain was climbed during the quest chain, then through the east-side door of the large room, and take the small exit on the left (northeast) — this path leads directly to the Ironclaw Scuttler spawns.
Farm and Battle Efficiently
Ironclaw Scuttlers respawn quickly when killed at the 34, 35 area. All captured pets in this zone are P/P breed and of poor quality, so bring a Flawless Battlestone to upgrade your catch. If you are struggling to find primary spawns, the area around 32.7, 45.3 has Ironclaw Scuttlers appearing alongside other pets — use a mechanical pet to quickly eliminate unwanted secondary pets and abandon the battle to keep searching.
Alternative Purchase Option
If you prefer not to hunt in the wild, the Monstrous Spineclaw NPC vendor on Timeless Isle at 17.4, 52.4 offers an alternative source for this pet.
Tips
All wild Ironclaw Scuttlers in this zone are P/P breed, so there is no need to compare stats between catches — just aim for the highest quality one you can find.
