A desert dwelling forager attracted to areas rich with dung.
This guy seems to resemble a goliath beetle or even a box elder beetle
Found a rare as a secondary pet. North west of the Obelisk of the Moon. Cords. are: 28.5, 6.8
Caught my rare Dung Beetle today. It wasn't too hard too find, I just stayed in Orgrimmar the whole time. The place I found that had the most spawns was near the Cata portals. It seemed like I had more uncommon spawns than anything else. I just used a Pygmy Owl (1) to fight it.
The beetle is an all around weak pet with one fun trick. Sometimes useful in PvE if you dont have a good team. But all around a detriment to any team.Â
I spent some time findind a rare. Finnally got him. Raised him to 25 with spurts of greatness & spurts of poorness. When he got to 25 the greatness has stuck with him. I think this guy is overlooked by many collecters. The Dung Beetle will suprise you.
Did you hear about the beetle who snuck into a gnome's backpack? She was sure she was headed for beetle heaven when she overheard the gnome say he was returning to Dung Morogh.
Finally found my rare in Valley of Wisdom, in front of the tent near the Hyjal portal. I never count # of battles, but it was an hour or so of farming.Â
Found two in diffrent fights both rares, in uldum, lots of groups of threes. the first was b/b breed and captured it the second was h/h breed also captured it and let the other b/b go.both lvl 23.
Found both rares for the Dung Beatle and the Creepy Crawly way in the back (westren) part of Northwatch Foothold. They were right next to eachother. (Hellscreem at 12:30ish AM)
Was wandering around in durrotar. I found 1 (poor) and my pets were too high and had to kill it... After figuring I wouldn't find anothe one. 2/3rds down the main path i found another and guess what...RARE
logged into my horde hunter, in org and was able to capture an uncommon....
Glad to see someone else got a rare. I was starting to wonder if there were rares for all of the battle pets. There seem to be a LOT of grey and white Dung Beetles. Now I won't give up! :)
A blue [Rare] version of this took me three hours to get, best place for them is Orgrimmar. If you don't see a lot, try killing a bunch of the Spiny Lizards that are around.Â
Edit: The reason for killing the spiny lizards is they spawn in the place of the dung beetles, so if you thin them out more dung beetles should spawn.Â
