Ashtail is found among the Hill Foxes in Loch Modan. He is tameable and has a unique grey skin with a blue-purple-ish teint to it :)

Gray Fox!

The only fox with this color.

Just tamed him on Cenarion Circle at 3:28pm server. He shadowstepped behind me! Beautiful creature. =0)

Just tamed on Live servers at 69.5, 37.5. Good luck.

Commento di leozero

yep also tamed on live servers on the area posted above i love this new pet

Commento di 704370

Confirmed 1 and a 1/2 hour spawn timer! happy hunting!

Commento di 360298

Just tamed on Icecrown. As I came into the area I saw Ashtail dead. I waited 1 hour and she respawned. Also, NPCScan picked her up when I added 45380 to the list.

Commento di 705167

Tamed him at 6:30 pm server on Skywall, area was already crawling with hunters. Got really lucky. :) He almost gets lost in a sea of yellow dots from regular foxes. Hunter there said he's about 1.5 hour spawn. Good luck to all !

Commento di 119484

Just tamed him. spent about 45 minutes waiting FD'ed and spammed a /target ashtail macro eventually he pop'd and he was right on spot with where the map said he'd be.

Commento di shihosa

Searched for 30 minutes and finally gave in to my cat wanting out, came back just in time for me to sit down and have Ashtail spawn in front of me and see someone gave Ashtail the killing blow... Does anyone know the respawn timer?

Took 1 hour from the time he was killed to respawn on Bronzebeard. tamed at 8:18 pst

Commento di 299433

Tamed at 9:31 PM CST on Archimonde - US. (74,43) was around where he spawned at.

Edit: I waited just under 2 hours. I am unsure when his previous spawn was, however.

Commento di ddsoul

Tamed at 7:35 PM PST on Rivendare - US , spawn location was exactly where the coordinates showed, more south than north. Snagged it on my 53 hunter, with an 80 horde just around the corner, he tried to kill it but he was too late.. as I had already tamed it.. I laughed at him before he killed me.

Commento di 605675

Just caught this beauty. As soon as I got done looking around at the updated night elf zones, I headed over the Loch Modan to get him and there was a dwarf sitting at the FP landing, showing it off to everybody that landed.

So, I ran up to Ruins of Gilneas to tame the white fox and the mastiff, then came back to camp him. Like the others said, about a 1.5 hour respawn. Scary part was 3 hunters showing up right before he spawned, but they all congratulated me instead of griefing.

Now I'm off to get the black and the brown, and my collection will be complete.

Commento di 707310

Just got him! He appears to spawn right where the dots are. I got there just in time to see another hunter catch him but waited just an hour and 15 minutes and he showed up again.

Commento di 693720

I got lucky & saw it a split second before 2 other hunter saw him & tamed him on terokkar at 11:08pm server time.

Commento di SnoT8282

Man that was great. Head over to the area. Stop and sit next to a NightElf (I'm on my troll). Sit there for a moment and bam she spawns and I tame while the NE is just sitting there. See 3 other alli come rolling up as I finish the tame...

Stand there a moment to gloat then as I go off on my way I found another Rare "Nix" so I tamed him too.

Commento di pessimisaurus

just tamed on SHADOWSONG @ 9:38pm. spotted him at about 75, 44. waited almost 2 1/2 hrs--another hunter got him before me after 1st hour, (she got him farther west, about 69, 43). respawned 90 mins later. also used Silverdragon which picked him up.

Commento di 322832

I was in the last two seconds of taming Ashtail on Thorium Brotherhood when Zzarrowzz came along and killed it out of spite. Same faction as me, too.

Thanks, man.

Edit: Just got him! Tamed at 1:15am server time; he was at 74.86 - 44.04 when he spawned.

Edit 2: Thus making his respawn for me something just around forty minutes.

Commento di Mayorsteeze

Found him while 3 other hunters were running, all three of them were horde, me being the only alliance started to tame him before the others realized he spawned. But when i was 1 second away from completing a 79 blood elf hunter saw me and decided to kill poor Ashtail =(.

Commento di 411864

I just tamed her at 1:54 on Skullcrusher. She spawned at 74.3,44.2. Add her to your npc, npc id 45380 and she will pop up on your screen. She had a green triangle over her head to track her from where I was standing. Happy Hunting!

Commento di 431172

Tamed on Baelgun - US at 12:13 am PST. Coordinates: 75, 42

I beat 7 other hunters while I was on a level 20 Forsaken Hunter :D

Commento di Rikaku

I just tamed this guy and having camped him for several hours (due to bad luck), he does seem to spawn consistently between 1 and 1.5 hours. On one occasion, 2 hrs on the dot.

I watched him spawn 4 different times, and based on my observations, 2 hours seem to be his highest limit.
Also, in every time he spawned, he preferred the back mountain area, between the "back entrance" to the Ogre Mound and the hill just before the Farstrider Lodge.

If someone on Muradin is reading this:
I tamed him at 2:58 AM Server

Commento di 224279

Just got him on Area-52, despite some jerk running around trying to tell everyone they had just gotten him and we'd have to wait another hour. He spawned exactly on the eastern of the 2 dots marked on the map. I have seen him spawn in as little as 56min from his last spawn, so guessing his timer is more like 1-2hrs rather than 90min as mentioned above. He is heavily contested on my server, but with that short of a spawn timer it shouldn't take long to thin down the ranks of the competition. Other than the one hunter I mentioned, everyone else was rather civil and helpful to the others waiting if they got him.

On a side note, he is neutral. I was using the latest version of SilverDragon (2.4.1) which DID pick him up when he spawned. He Shadowsteps as soon as you begin the tame, don't panic it won't break your channel and I'm sure there will be several other hunters nearby just hoping you try to recast it and give them a chance to snag the spawn.

Commento di 550103

Just tamed him myself on Silver Hand, took me spamming a macro for 2.5 hours and he spawned right in the middle of both those dots on the map. Oh boy is he a keeper. =D

Commento di Romire

I have caught this lovley creature

Caelestraz US at 11pm AEST i was there first, i tamed him first, had a Nelf rage at me.

Commento di 707674

What level is Ashtail

Commento di 707706

Got it last night, just sit in front of the little hill you see in most of the ss.

Waited about an hour. I created an empty menu car so I wouldn't arcane shot him by accident. :)

Commento di Nairaj

Just tamed him on Nagrand server, waited about 20 min then he popped up right in front of me :)

Commento di Saldar

This mob appears to be an "Uncommon" rare spawn with a spawn time of 30-90 minutes.

He re-spawns at the EXACT same location every time:
However, Ashtail does not stay at this location and does have a standard patrol area.
He reacts neutral for both Alliance and Horde.

I personally saw a hunter time him at 9:45 server time and he re-spawned at 10:20 server time for me to tame him (35 minutes). The hunter who tamed him after me told me that he had to wait 70 minutes for Ashtail to re-spawn after I left. He has an ability to blink behind his target and attack from the rear which does NOT interrupt taming, your character simply adjusts to his facing.

Two screenshots that may help people trying to tame him:

Commento di 707816

As people are saying, the spawn timer doesn't seem that long. I got to Loch Modan last night and was told that another hunter nabbed Ashtail about 30 minutes before I got there. At that time, there were at least 5 other hunters in the area with me. I logged out for about 20 minutes and came back online around 7pm ST and there he was without any hunters in sight! So I'd say give it an hour or at least check back every hour and you'll eventually get him.

Happy hunting!

Commento di rilgania

found 10mins ago on dun morogh EU.
i was about to start boasting around with it, but decided to look it up here first, only to discover how ridiculousely short the respawn timer is... :(
but still, beautiful pet, wouldn't take another over it. those foxes are pure win!

PS: by no way i'm complaining about short spawn timers of low level rares. it simply was very surprising back then (look at the date). i'd still recommend this beauty to everyone, as low level rares don't seem to be very popular among hunters, even if they have unique skins.

Commento di Swingline

I'm ready to cry. I logged on early today since I have the day off to camp this guy. Had been sitting there close to 45 minutes, doing other things on my computer. I tabbed back to WoW to log off, when NPCScan went off. At the same moment, a troll hunter logged in... And got to Ashtail first.

And she didn't even say anything when I congratulated her, which was what really got to me.

Add NPC 45380 to NPCScan to get an Ashtail alert. Downrate this if you want.

Edit: The troll tamed him at 8:37 AM server time. He just popped again at 10:07 server time. One and a half hours on the dot.

Commento di Grimora

He does indeed have a one hour spawn timer and does spawn at that exact location stated by Saldar at the top.

I got mine, still trying to figure out a name.

Happy hunting,
Sanochan

Commento di 707767

just taimed him, 20.51 realm time :D an amazing fox :D

Commento di 702489

Ok, so i let a fellow alliance hunter have ashtail since he was there first and i just started a timer. he spawn for me exactly 2 hours on the dot. This was on the terenas server and 1p.m. I was able to tame with no one around and then went to SW and told trade that the timer was up for any hunters that wanted him.

very cool pet to add to any hunters collection.

WÅR

Just tamed at 1:00pm server time on Misha- two hour spawn timer verified by myself. Wonderful looking model, great pet to have, and goodness, quite pleased with it. :)

Anyone have her NPCScan ID ?
I could use it if anyone finds it

Commento di 635583

Have now seen this pretty guy spawn twice, only to have an alliance pig kill it both times because I managed to press the tame button first.
Sigh. Spawned at 12:45 killed at 12:46, then spawned again at 1:50. Almost exactly one hour. Hopefully the next spawn time is shorter.
Will update the 3rd spawn time and hopefully the tame.
Also, silverdragon picks him up.
*Edit* Spawned again at 2:53 and I let another low level hunter take him since she tagged him first. Seems the timer is always a couple minutes over or shy of an hour. Hoping to wake up in the morning and being the only hunter there....happy hunting to all!

Commento di SaturnGrl

Camped the spawn point for Ashtail with my Horde Hunter, then some punk low level Alliance ran in, aggroed during my taming and tried to steal the fox from me. So I killed it to spite the punk.
Hunters should have more respect, no matter which side you're on. If someone is taming, you don't try to steal thier pet.

Commento di 702413

I captured this beauty at 2:58 am pst on Bronzebeard Nov 25 2110

Commento di Sephira

I accidentally killed it when I ran towards the area. I cried a little inside.
Then I spend 64 minutes waiting there for it to spawn again. I thought it would take 90 ish but it only took me 64 :)

Good luck everyone and yes he really spawns at the place there is showed on this map :) Just sit there and wait.

xx Seph

Commento di Strokr

Camping mine right now ... ;(

Commento di 635583

From what I've seen, if you are one of the many that want this pet right way, the best thing you can do is wake up early and hope it's either there or gets there before another hunter does. Or, if you really don't care about it much and just want it for kicks, wait like a month. In a couple weeks literally every hunter is going to have it and it won't be special or unique anymore. : /

Commento di Mezramalda

I just got the fox in like 5 mins after reading this post.
I started killing everytihng around the area and skinning.
Then about a few mins it appered. Oh and I got is at 10:00 pm server time on Thanksgiving.

Thank you for ur help. Same spot and everything.

Mezramalda the Hunter <3

Oh and I got is at 10:00 pm server time on Thanksgiving.

Commento di R4ndomizer

Brilliant discription ! Just got him !

TIPPS (for hordes):

- You can put that mob and his id 45380 into NPC-Scan, so it will bring the Alert, too. Silverdragon does is without any afford(both did ^^)

-as a Horde just let go your actual pet, place yourself at the exact spawnpoint(shown in this threat) and wait. If you get killed(very possible ^^) by allys, just go back to its spawnpoint and wait as a ghost. The alert comes - even if you are dead. As a ghost, no one can see you AND you will receive the alert from both addons ;-). If Alert comes - get back to life and tame him as fast as possible.

Commento di JDillon911

I have just tamed him after trying out the normal red fox and the dark brown one. None of mine seem to have the abilities Play or Tailspin, but beast lore says he should have it. It's on a new human hunter i've made level 16 atm, so maybe he has to be higher level when he learns it?

Commento di Luciferius

Made the 1.5 hour run on my level 16 (17 by the time I got there) to tame this beauty, luckily made it around 3am aussie time and 8am american time so there wasn't any competition. Best part was when he killed my pet then blinked fifty yards to keep attacking me making me think somehow two of them had spawned. Dismiss pet and then tame first try, no other hunters in sight. Rockin' it in RFC doesn't quite get the respect it should do though...

Commento di 710098

I waited for over 2 hours yesterday in the spot where it's supposed to spawn and it never spawned.
But, I'm trying once again, as of right now.

*EDIT* Nevermind, it finally spawned, but some lvl 80 Dwarf came by and tamed it before I clicked my tame button...

Commento di Nathiest

Just got him for my Forsaken Hunter. I bet out a lvl 80 Orc who has been camping the area for over an hour. He stepped away from his computer at the wrong time. (right time for me)

Now what to name him?

Commento di 708375

Okay! Finally tamed it at 3:45 nesingwary realm time! Easy tame, and there were about 4 other hunters in this area, tricky, but I was the fastest, waited about 2 hours for it to respawn, Yay!

Commento di 521275

I tamed mine on Fizzcrank 2:30 CST. There were several other hunters in the area, your best bet is to follow the screenshot with the spawn point, most people waste their time searching around the area rather than camping the spawn point, if you spam a macro that targets him and perhaps also casts tame beast you will probably get him. I wish all trying to tame this amazing fox the best of luck!

Commento di Icarui

A rather adorable reference on all these foxes is that during the time they are dancing, they have a buff called 'Play - When you're the best of friends...' which is a reference to the old Disney movie, Fox and the Hound.

Funny how the fox model came out at the same time as the dog model ;3

Commento di 712301

I tamed him 2 days ago on the Ragnaros server. I think the respawn timer is quite short as i saw a priest questing and asked him if he saw Ashtail. he said he saw about 10 mins ago. I looked but he was no longer there so either he had been tamed or killed. Anyway i waited around and another low level hunter came with a pally friend to tame it. after abour 30 mins of waiting it appeared and i quickly tamed it. luckily the other hunter lagged and missed his chance. good luck to hunters looking for him.

Commento di CharBroiled04

Tamed him about an hour ago. Looks nice, I guess. Only complaint is that his talent tree seems to be bugged for me. He's Ferocity, but his tree doesn't contain Charge. The spot it should be in is just... gone.

I haven't tamed any other new pets, though I had a Scarlet Tracking Hound which got turned into a Dog (from Hyena), and his talent tree is also missing "Charge". Is this a known bug?

Commento di Moktul

Just tamed Ashtail. he was on his patrol route since no one has gotten him for awhile

Fun pet to have :D

Commento di 426853

Tamed last night on Shattered Hand (Horde). No competition in terms of hordies, didn't see any alliance either. Seems either word hasn't gotten to the hunters on my server, or the camping has died down. Great looking pet to have.

Commento di 492609

Ashtail (for me) had a one hour spawn time. He's pretty easy to get and is really cool looking. I recommend it for fox lovers =]

Commento di 720901

Looks to be slightly different in colour than the fox found in Gilneas.

Commento di balzer1075

lol epic fail.. i saw him so i just typed /cast tame beast instead of actually looking for the spell in my spell book. well i was on my mount and apparently had not dismissed my pet so when ashtail attacked me he instadied.. i cant even loot him lol :( guess i gotta wait around for another half hour to an hour

Commento di 730349

Can anyone confirm for me the following;

Ashtail received both his abilities "play" and "tailswipe" at lvl 20 for me.

He also seems to have an ability "cower" that he unlocked at 20 or 21 (can't quite place it from memory).

Also does he have any other special abilities in the later levels?

Commento di Oddyssey

Also does he have any other special abilities in the later levels?

At level 49, I only see the Play and Tailspin abilities for the fox.

Also, one thing I'd like to mention is I find that my fox (after killing an NPC that we've fought) will randomly run after a rat if it gets close to her. (I made my fox a "she") At first, it sounds like a cute addition to the pet so it seems more realistic, however, it gets me into trouble when she runs past other NPCs as she chases the rat, which brings them running at me to attack.

Has anyone else noticed this with other pets? I'm wondering if it's just the fox or if it's new to all/most pets since Cata came out.

Commento di guatafu

Im glad all those "just tamed him" comments got downrated, if you people really want to help, either tell us something that is relevant or just download the wowhead client to get the info on the db.

Commento di 253153

After a harrowing journey of running my level 20 goblin hunter across Badlands, I arrived in Loch Modan to see a nelf hunter standing against the mountains right beside the ogre compound with Ashtail. After asking via a RealID friend playing her alliance priest, she said she had found him in the exact spot she was standing (about 73, 33) and had just finished taming him when I arrived.

Using Saldar's post as a guide, I camped at 75.2, 43.6 and waited for my turn. Ashtail spawned about 90 minutes later, headed in a counterclockwise pat, and I tamed him. I hung out there for a bit afterward, chatting with guildies, and watched him spawn again about 60 minutes later. There was no one there to tame him so I watched his patrol. If you're looking for him, he walks a slow and deliberate pat. He doesn't run around randomly like the other foxes in that area...he sticks out quite noticeably.

Been using him as my hunter's companion ever since, and he is now level 51. He doesn't do anything special as compared to a normal fox, but I don't see many people with him.

As a sidenote, I really hope Blizzard reduces the range at which fox pets will notice critters and run off to kill them. I'm afraid to bring him into dungeon runs (I have a backup cat) because when I quest with him, he tends to run off randomly into the middle of mobs and aggro them because he saw a squirrel or a roach that needed killing.

Commento di 162447

Does Ashtail have the play and Tailspin abilities that the other foxes do after he is tamed?

Commento di 371223

Also, if there's anyone out there who is trying to get him as a lower level character, if you are anywhere near other foxes while trying to tame him, they will begin to attack you. Once you're done though, they will stop.

Commento di Fyara

Someone mentioned they killed something and Ashtail showed up very shortly after. There may be something to that. I hung around about 30 minutes in the spawn location mentioned previously, got bored and killed a ram. About 10 seconds after that, he traipsed right past me.

Commento di Neutralis

I found mobs that look almost like this one by the Ruins of Gilneas.

Commento di 714564

Something odd I noticed... my Ashtail (Violetta) not only can tank pretty well for me, she also seemed to be immune to Baron Geddon's attacks. Whether it's just because she's so low to the ground his attacks went up and over her... she has a high dodge or just fluke: I don't know. Has anyone else noticed this with Ash or any other fox? I had to sit back from Geddon as he explodes that fire nova at you whilst you try to weaken him before he turns you into a living bomb. During this, Violetta continued to attack and bite him but her HP didn't drop.

This is exactly why i came here, my copy of Ashtail does the same thing, in fact she will go quite far to kill from 4-6 nearby critters. Interestingly enough her critter kills DO count for Squadra della morte animalesca

All 3 in almoust 15min.

Ashtail (I have to wait almoust 85min because one dude hunter was waiting her respawn first of me, 10min she respaw and my conrade... killed her... he gived up... so I've waited more 73min for respawn)

it took me all of 4 minutes to find her on my hunter, I flew down and tamed her in a heartbeat. Not the hardest rare spawn to find.... *curses Terrorpene*

Very cute little fox though, and unique in its colors; Bonus!

Commento di 797795

Left a comment before about running after critters for the fun. Foxes don't. It,s because of their 'tailspin' ability that affected mobs within a 10 yard radius, thus all critters as well. It doesn't kill them so they tend to run away when they are affectec by something and your fox will automatically attack them if it's on defensive.

Turn tailspin off if your in a dungeon that has a lot of critters running around.

I had pulled a hug mob by accident with this once. In the dungeon Slave Pens there are servants who will attack you when the Naga controller orders them but once he dies the slaves will run away. Because of Tailspin my fox had targeted a slave that was in the process of running away and chased after it. When I realized my pet had died because it pulled to many mobs and they were headed back towards us. Good thing someone else noticed so we didn't engage in any other battles before but I felt stupid after that.

Commento di 742139

Make sure if you are using npcscan addon that you clear your cache. When I started it had an x by ashtail so it wouldn't tell me when it spawned. I logged out of the game, found my cache folder in the wow folder on computer, and deleted stuff in it. I hope this helps. This is such a nice color fox to tame.

Ok, so I was camping ghost crawler then Sambas then Karoma, when I didnt find any.. wanted to end the day on a good note by atleast getting the blue fox.
I get there, /tar ash and he is there. I start tame.. WHAM DEAD!

Teddy, my pet Arcturis, on aggressive mode after a BG, one shotted him.

FML. Just not my day.

(PS: Thank god I didnt have a pet out when I found the other more rare spawns... can you imagine 4 days of camping then you find the beast, and your pet one shots it!).

Edit: Just tamed him. Had to wait 1 hr 17 minutes before he spawned again. Alt + tab MadTv on youtube FTW!

Commento di 804478

Confirmed 30 minute spawn timer.

He's a great pet, never seen any hunters on my realm with him. Don't be worried about other hunters taming him, the only thing that would probably happen is someone killing it. He has a unique color, and has a spell called "play". I named him swift. I reccomend making a macro, and just spamming it while you run in the circle of where he pats.

Macro-

/target Ashtail

Commento di 782722

This is for the people wondering about its abilities.

Pets get their special abilities at level 20. So after it has tailspin and play (@ 20) don't expect anything else (except talents).

As for the critter killing, that's not exactly a fox ability specifically. But it's due to a fox ability. The tailspin ability is an AoE effect but doesn't do damage. So what happens is the critter gets hit and runs away. So when your normal target(s) is dead, the fox goes after the aggroed critter. That's all it is.

Commento di bruenir

I just tamed this fox on Lothar-US, 9:05AM EST. I didn't even bother entering it into NPCScan, I just made a fast /tar Ashtail macro and spammed it as I flew around. I was actually passing through for Archeology and thought I'd pick Ashtail up, and it was, and I tamed. It's a nice model, and the only fox I like enough to get. It's nice to see a somewhat uncommon/rare-ish model that Blizz has made fairly easy to get.

Commento di 365814

if you're trying to use the old "freezing trap method" be careful, he will us an ability like rogues shadowstep and come up behind you instantly, completely disregarding your trap. make sure you can withstand his rapid attacks while channeling.

Commento di Vailwolf

A must have for all rare pet collectors, great for non BM hunters too.

Commento di Asuna

Just tamed Ashtail on my hunter today. I accidentally killed the poor thing and felt pretty dumb. I decided to stand around and wait for him to respawn as there were no other players in sight. While waiting I queued up for a dungeon. After about 20 minutes I entered the dungeon that roughly took 30-40 minutes to complete. Once I was out I went around spamming my macro and found the little tyke. He's a great addition to my pet family.

I killed him roughly around 5:22pm PST and he was tamed at 6:55pm PST. I wasn't around to witness when he spawned though so I'm not sure the exact spawn time.

Happy taming!

Commento di 571946

Tamed my Ashtail today at exactly 3.36 p.m. I camped at the spawn-spot for about 30 minutes. At one point another hunter stood next to me without his pet out. Not stressful at all.... Luckily he left and 1 minute later, Ashtail spawned and i got him. Happy day.

I've had a VERY full day (so far!) of collecting rare pets on my Horde huntress. In truth, I was only in the Loch to look for a wasp (for PvP), and was hoping that Nix was up.

I had already been to Redridge just a little before that to collect a black fox. When I arrived, Nix was not up, so I came here to check any extra info, and saw the mention of Ashtail.

Popped back into game, and lo! Nix was up. Grabbed the wasp - which is beautiful! - and then a dash off to Fuselight to stable it & back to look for Ashtail.

Here is what MAY be relevant to you:

1) Silver Dragon addon. Download it, configure it, and love the 5 minutes you spent to do that. Seriously. :) I knew the rough area (the map only showed spawn spots; not the full path, like now) - SD picked her up before I saw her, and matched it with a dot on my minimap so I could home right in.

2) I used to always use /tloc for stuff, but I know some won't or can't. So, looking at the map, head straight south of the 2nd 'o' in the 'stronghold' part of Mo'Grosh Stronghold. You should see a troll head statue, notable for the fact there is a rolled-up scroll on the ground just to the left (maybe tied into a quest? it has 'that look' to it.); the statue is also easy to distinguish, because it has a 4-pointed star-type throwing knife stuck in the forehead.

This is where I found Ash (but your mileage may vary!). I followed/watched her for a few minutes, and she just made several small circles around this statue and the immediate area. This is NOT the same full path as shown on the map - but this is all she did. I was tempted to wait longer, but didn't want to lose my chance at the tame.

3) Since Ash is neutral, I simply walked on top of her, and dropped the freezing trap right on top of her - no concussive or scatter shot was needed. She didn't get the 'help yelp' off, and so I just channeled away.

Now just my seagull left to get ! :D

(Baradin seagull acquired just a couple of days after that, thanks to the kindness of a couple of upper-level hunters. a 39 with a great stable now!)

(don't know why this is being downrated?; edited Nov to correct Ashtail's gender/pronouns)

Literally walked right into Ashtail on Lightbringer, tamed him straightaway no problems. Love the skin Blizz gave this model.

Commento di 376312

Havent seen anyone mention it yet, so i would like to mention this for anyone that would like to know, I have a friend who tamed him at 26 and this pet did nothing out of the ordinary. While when i tamed him as a 61 hunter, there will be times where i will see this pet shadowstep behind the target in a puff of smoke. Another friend of mine tamed him as a 72 hunter and also sees him do it also. It seems even though its not in the spellbook on the character, ashtail does retain shadowstep even after a tame.

Commento di 853419

The first rare I tamed on my hunter, so many months ago ;')
Named him Asheron in honor of the game.

I rushed to Loch Modan the moment I hit 16 and tamed him. No trouble at all (other than being the pet that's caused me the most wipes lol)
He's so fast too, with dash he looks amazing attacking mobs. Like a mini quick attack (this can also make him hard to control if he accidentally chases a run away, especially if it's into another mob since you barely have time to make him stop -_-').

He has a fairly short spawn time as well, compared to other rares at least. Nearly every time I fly by there he's spawned. So I annouce it in general in case any new hunters might want him.

Commento di Grieel

3 hours later and still no Ashtail. I've been camping the spawn this entire time and never went AFK. Even tested the theory of killing foxes to make him spawn and I haven't seen him/her yet

edit:3.5 hours camping, finally got it thanks to the info here

Commento di cupcakez

Rofl had to come post this...

Thought id come have a look for Ashtail, added info to NPCscan, flew down seen him, jumped off mount, hit tame and my damn turtle kills him, so here i am waiting for respawn . with no pets out!

Commento di Wyr3d

Stands to reason, since he's a fox :P All pets now how the same abilities of their type once tamed regardless of whether they were a rare or not. The only benefit of having rare pets is the "Shiny Pokemon" factor :P

Incidently, Cat-las states this mob is a "rare" spawn. not a "common rare" as the general census seems to indiate.

Commento di ThowraEgypt

Just LITERALLY caught him. I was running around on my hunter, spamming a target macro. Didn't catch it. Logged off to put on NPC scan and there he was! Beautiful creature, my little boy Ciel is very pretty :)

Time is 1:11 AM EST

Commento di Sabrefayne

Haters can hate but he was there the second I turned up... my lvl 25 hunter had mounted from Arathi.

AWESOME TRICK!

get him to "play" so he dances then auto attack a mob... the resulting charge from your new pet is funny to say the least.

Edit: you don't have to attack the target. just get your pet to "play" then command it to "attack"

Commento di 482611

Thanks for the very usefull comments.
I had to wait for about 45 minutes before he spawned.
For those who use NPC scan, hes NPC ID is: 45380

Note:
I tried killing the Hill foxes to make him spawn, but that didn't work ;)

Commento di Vonnegut

i just made the macro /target Ashtail and then ran around with the macro. found him about thirty seconds later

Commento di Smallbeard

Ashtail does count towards the quest Code di volpe per tutti

Commento di duckiesgogrr

Found him at 68, 43 today at 7:45

Commento di Paulosio

Hmmm didn't realise he had a unique skin till after I killed him. Shame.

Commento di Xyrelin

Wow, when I was on Wowhead trying to get a good pet, I decided to go to Fox and found this beauty. As lucky as I am just when I get to Ashtail's spawn location he was already there, all I had to do was tame :)

Commento di Capri

Confirmed, very helpful & accurate guide
Went to the pinned locations of the map and roamed around, it wasn't there and just stood at the spawning spot, it took like an hour for me to see it spawn
Thanks for posting ;)

Commento di Wolfgenerator

Looks so cute when he's using Gioco. ♥

Commento di amaterazu

A very beautiful and unique skin for a fox, It reminds me of Krystal from StarFox because of the coloration :)

Ashtail has about a 30 to 90 minute spawn timer.

The nearest flight path is Farstrider Lodge for Alliance, Horde players will need to run quite some distance across land.

There is an Alliance stable master (Gravin Steelbeard) right at about 84, 63, just in front of Farstrider Lodge. Nice, quick access if you forget to stable a pet beforehand.

He spawns at about 75, 43.5, and walks slowly north toward Mo'grash Stronghold. He turns west just shy of the first ogre, and hangs around the Stolen Explorers' League Document for a bit before heading off further west toward the road. He angles south along the road before looping back east along the northern edge of the first set of hills. He turns north again at about his original spawn point, just shy of the mountains at the edge of the zone. He repeats this loop until killed, tamed, or despawned.

Ashtail walks calmly around the entire counter-clockwise loop, he does not run around like the other plain foxes in the area do.

Ashtail has about 540 health, and once engaged he leaps immediately behind his target and unleashes a flurry of rapid attacks. Channeling Tame Beast is not interrupted by his leaping ability, but it does bypass freezing and ice traps.

The fox's Tailspin ability is great for augmenting tank debuffs (many tanks have it only as a single target skill) in AoE encounters with a group, and makes the fox family a good choice for solo questing, giving them some decent survivability without sacrificing the much higher damage output of a ferocity pet.

That said, Tailspin is an AoE that does no damage, so it can cause your fox to run off and chase down critters hit by it after your normal targets die, which can result in pulling extra mobs or any number of other tragic events.

You can avoid this completely by either right clicking the tailspin ability on your fox's action bar to toggle it off, or by keeping your fox on passive and either adding /petattack into a macro with your normal shots, or using the Attack ability on your pet action bar.

Commento di FuryWar

I noticed this pretty beast roaming just south of Mo'Grosh stronghold, at abt. 73.35 for those with coords.

Commento di damekage

Probably my favorite hunter pet just because of the coloration. I have managed to get this on each of my hunter toons within an hour of camping it as soon as my hunter hits level 16. Though it may not be the best dps pet out there its well worth the loss in my opinion just because of its color.

Commento di Skelic

All of the 15 rare mobs found in the Loch Modan -zone have been listed below on this post ~~(including rare elites)~~ (rare elites no longer exist!). Hover your mouse over the link and you'll see the level and type (if it's a beast, it is tameable ). Each rare mob kill yields about as much experience points as a quest of an equal level. The kills in this zone are roughly around 1500-2000 XP.

Magosh <Stonesplinter Tribal Shaman>
Gosh-Haldir (formerly known as Large Loch Crocolisk, changed in the shattering)
Boss Galgosh
Shanda the Spinner
Emogg the Crusher
Kubb (Kubb was recreated in the shattering as Grizlak)
Grizlak (formerly known as Kubb, recreated in the shattering)
Optimo
Lord Condar
Ashtail
Nix
Geoshaper Maren
Morick Darkbrew <Dark Iron Courier>
Sagepaw <Mosshide Chieftain>
Whitefin

All rares in 1 list.

P.S. Post updated.

Saw him today on my dranei, and, because I already had him, posted on general chat to see if anyone else wanted him. Sure enough, about ten seconds later, I got a tell from a night elf hunter. I added him to my party, and told him to come find me. A little but later, he showed up, took one look at it, and said, "Nah." Suddenly, he was attacking the fox, and pretty quickly killed him. When I, exasperated, exclaimed, "Don't kill him!" he just replied, "lol, sorry."

So that was my experience of the day. Very disappointing.

Commento di Alvvie

love its color. camped for about a half hour i guess. And then after a while of shooting foxes, he spawned right in front of me, so exciting and rewarding.

Commento di ZevilDog

Ashtail's skin is very nice... extremely with those blue eyes, even if it was a 6 hour respawn it would be worth

Commento di 1136540

Found him at 11:30 Realm time on Darkspear. He looks so majestic. Wait wasn't that long. He likes to teleport behind you a lot, which isn't a problem, just annoying as hell.

Commento di Wolfie248

Tamed at 20:50 Local GMT Time. On Stormrage EU. He was just outside south of the Mo'Grosh Stronghold :)

Commento di PlasticSpoon

I've noticed these comments are from years before, and I was still interested in getting Ashtail as a pet. More recently, its location has not changed. I went there to get Ashtail, and boom. It was right there without having to wait. :-)

I love the colour!

Commento di turbosac

I does not has any of the rouge-like abilities as it sais here... too bad :(

Commento di biggaz69

Always seems to be there for me if I wanted to tame it. So just out of curiosity I decided to check it's spawn time and it seemed to be every 30-35 mins. Lowest was 20 mins, longest was an hour. Hope that helps

Commento di Bananasaurus

The skin's more indigo/purple than silver or grey, but okay...

Commento di Aliandrin

The colour of Ashtail's coat is not very different from the arctic foxes. However, the colour of Ashtail's eyes really sets this fox apart as a gorgeous skin. Sometimes, subtlety wins.

For another popular fox, the Forest Stalker is all-black, with beautiful yellow eyes. You'll find him in Redridge Mountains. Many people are saying they prefer this to Ashtail.

Commento di 1294423

I wish Blizzard would make mobs unattackable for other players if you are in the process of taming a beast. Getting very annoying where people just camp endlessly and wait for me to try and tame it only for them to start killing it :(

Ashtail https://youtu.be/SIXB49dgqQo?t=134

Commento di NinaFox

Tamed Ashtail on Hyjal at 1am server time. 75, 43ish. There had been a gnome mage in the area and I had been afraid he'd been killed. I only waited about 40 mins before he spawned.

Commento di 1626032

I tamed him on Nazgrel at 9:45 pm at coords 79,33

Commento di 1632841

I've been waiting for about 3 hours now for him to spawn. Nothing. Did something change in the newest patch?

Commento di 1527619

I have camped ashtail again after the release and I too can not seem to see it no mater how long I wait.

Commento di RinTarin

Tamed him just now on Sisters of Elune server. Had no idea that he was a neutral rare. He is still spawning as of Legion. Hope all that want him can find him, he can be a little hard to see.

Commento di greenglobegamer

Just tamed, Emerald Dream server. Was moving slower and is larger than the brown foxes.

Commento di LordOfIdiots

Patch 7.2 - I can confirm what Saldar said about the spawn location. It spawned exactly at 75.2, 43.6 . Took about 20-30 minutes. Thank you!

Commento di Shadowcub

The spawn timer on this guy may have been shortened. Was camping for him today on a lvl 17 hunter when a ? opposing faction hunter decided to barge in on my camp and be a turd. Took about 20 minutes to respawn. On another note, a couple of other (Legion) mobs now share the appearance.

Commento di Lizzi90

Found him near the ogre camp, he was walking around. I cannot be precise regarding wait time on spawn because i was alone when i found him, around 2 am server time. He scales up to level 60 with the new scaling system introduced in patch 7.3.5. If you have a hard time finding him, i recommend changing realm or looking for him at early hours when not many players are around. I have NPCScan as add-on, found Ashtail via it. Best of luck! Also, if you are not a hunter, please don't kill him if you see someone taming him.

Commento di AmethystRose

I sat in his spawn area for almost two hours and didn't see him once. Mind you I was the only player there the entire time and he never spawned. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to hunt him for a pet.

Commento di anoffday

For anyone looking for a 2020 update on this little fox, he still spawns! And respawn timer seems low. I helped a friend find him last night. After about 30 mintues of looking, I found him and let him tame him. We then went to grab some quests and came back to the area maybe 15-20 minutes later and he was there again so then I tamed him as well. Good luck.
