The pet that would not die! By far my favorite pet when I was leveling, before I really understood the Pet Battle system. I could always count on this guy to stay alive in almost any fight. Turns out mine was an H/H, which explains why he was so tough. The defensive buff and his HoT ability are a winning combo.

Prior patch 5.3 it used to drop as long as you had 2 or less Strand Crawler's in your pet journal. After 5.3, if you have at least 1 in your journal it no longer drops. I have done around 600 fishing daily quest on all my characters during 30 days, while having 1 Strand Crawler in my journal. If you want to collect more than 1, be sure to put in cage all your Strand Crawlers, before opening the bag.

I dont know how I got it. Maybe it was an add,and I captured it,because it was rare. When I started using it, I couldn't believe how good it it was. It easily put sinister squashling to shame in both damage, and healing. At level 18, I soloed 3 level 24s! The Shell shield ignores stampede, swarm, nuts, eggs, and DOT effects, allowing you to have turns where you dont take any damage, deal damage, and heal all in one!

This pet is my #1 pet so far. Great for leveling other pets when it hits 25. Combination of the sheild (c-ya later dots!) and healing is great for not having to bandages or revive after battles. I highly recommend finding a rare Shore Crab, Strand Crab, or Strand Crawler to help with leveling other pets. I has even become an all star in pvp pet battles.

This crab's survivability wowed me from the beginning.  I have used it as one of my core pets since I started doing battle pets; indeed, since battle pets came into existence, really.  Those who have one of these will rejoice; those who have to *face* one of these will probably feel rather crabby afterwards.

I was battling a frog In ashenvale near the falfarren river and it came up as an assisted wild attacker. Sadly I didn't know how rare it was until I captured the frog so I couldn't capture it also.

By far my favorite pet! This pet surprised me with its survivability. Even though it isn't the cutest, it definitely packs a punch. With its shield and heal it can easily survive a 3 pet fight with barely a scratch. Definitely worth leveling up!

Over the last month I have lvled a Goblin Shaman to 85, sometimes doing fishing dailies from Org/UC/TB, Shattrath AND Dal all in one day. I still have never gotten this pet! On the priest I lvled, I got it almost right away. I don't much believe that 1/200 or 1/100 is correct. It's basically whether the game likes you that day. And apparently it hasn't liked me in a while!

With 1/200 drop rate from dalaran dailies and 1/100 from orgrimmar dailies i dont see how 70% of users here have it. I m doing both dailies for 2 months now every day and still no luck. RNG i guess.

My NE Rogue got this doing her first dwarven fishing daily in Iron Forge. It's the first time I got a companion pet on any of my toons doing fishing dailies. This and a liquor recipe. It was a fishing boon day.

Awesome pet, I just got it today. I only had to do the Stormwind fishing dailies enough times to get the achievement, and then I got the pet too! :D Double the happy!

Oddly enough though, I don't have the Lich King expansion?? Only Burning Crusade. Sooo... lucky me.

I just got this today from doing the Daily Fishing quest in Darnassus. I am level 80 and my fishing skill is at 440. I have an alt that is a level 10 (I prefer my main), she got it the second time she did the fishing daily in Stormwind so there really is no way to predict when it will pop up, just the luck of the draw...

The strand crawler has adapted to the northern cold by hibernating under the island beaches.
