Red-Tailed Chipmunk
From Mechanical Squirrel Box. According to the tales of the night elves, the first red-tailed chipmunk was colored so after the theft and consumption of a sacred apple. Critter type. I found one in Desolace as a secondary pet to a Stone Armadillo, so for those reporting that they cannot find them in Desolace they may just not exist as primary battle pets.
The Red-Tailed Chipmunk is a wild pet found as both a primary and secondary battle pet across several zones, most reliably encountered in Teldrassil and as a secondary pet near the Maraudon tunnels in Desolace.
Guide awaiting review
Hunt in Teldrassil
Head to Teldrassil, where Red-Tailed Chipmunks roam the mainland and can also be found on the mountains bordering Shadowglen. Elfin Rabbits share this mountain area, so you may capture both on the same trip.
Check Darnassus
Red-Tailed Chipmunks also appear in Darnassus, making it a convenient fallback location, especially for Alliance players or Horde players who did not find one in Teldrassil.
Farm Desolace Tunnels
In Desolace, head to the tunnels leading up to Maraudon, where Red-Tailed Chipmunks appear as a common secondary pet alongside Amethyst Shale Hatchlings (levels 7–9) just inside the door but outside the instance. Chipmunks here are level 9 and do not appear as primary battle pets in this zone.
Check Hillsbrad Foothills
Red-Tailed Chipmunks can also be found in Hillsbrad Foothills if you have not secured one from the other locations.
Check Pet Rarity in Battle
