Sharptalon Hatchling

The Sharptalon Matriarch only appears in Val'sharah when the Sharptalon Swarm! world quest is active. She will not spawn if the quest is not currently live. The zone can be reached conveniently from Highmountain via Felbane Camp.

Before heading to the world quest area, purchase Dried Bilberries from a vendor in the Broken Isles — vendors selling this food are located near the closest flightpaths to the world quest area. Without the food, you will not be able to obtain the pet.

Find and defeat the Sharptalon Matriarch in the Val'sharah world quest area. She is an elite with a respawn timer of around 5 minutes. Note that only one player appears to receive kill credit — you can use the script /script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44881)) to confirm whether you received credit for the kill.

After the Matriarch is defeated, a Sharptalon Hatchling NPC will spawn nearby, though not always in the immediate area — one reported spawn was at 47, 10 on the next cliff behind the Matriarch. There is no green paw on the map to mark its location. Interact with the hatchling and feed it the Dried Bilberries to claim it as your pet. Be sure you have not reached your maximum number of pets before interacting with the hatchling.
