Guide awaiting review

1

Travel to Twilight Highlands

Alliance players can fly directly to Kirthaven or Thundermar, where the hatchlings spawn around the gryphon platforms and can be engaged in a pet battle despite being friendly to Alliance characters. Horde players cannot initiate a direct pet battle against them at these locations.

2

Horde: Fight Secondary Battlers

As a Horde player, engage any wild pet in the Twilight Highlands — such as rattlesnakes or the mole-type creatures — and the Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling can appear as a secondary enemy pet on the opposing team, allowing you to battle and capture it.

3

Fix the Kirthaven Basement Bug

One hatchling at Kirthaven can become stuck in a basement and appear unreachable. To interact with it, open the Game Menu, go to Key Bindings, scroll to the Targeting Functions section, and bind a key to 'Interact with Target' — then target the pet and use that keybind to initiate the battle.

Tips

  • Horde players on a low-level Alliance character can reach Thundermar by taking the flight path to Greenwarden's Grove and hugging the zone edge through Dragonmaw Gates to avoid most hostile NPCs.

  • The Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling looks identical to the Blizzard Store gryphon pet but will not fly when you mount up on a flying mount.
