In Desolace, I had three rare Amethyst Shale Hatchlings in less than half an hour.  Topaz ones showed up as secondaries. The only rare secondary Stone Rush suicided on me. Grrr

If you feel like holding someone in place so you can headbutt them then this is the pet for you. Life leech would restore(some?) the life lost using Stone Rush but not all.

I didn't even know about this guy, but I was working on the Kalimdor Tamer Achievement and was looking for unique pets to complete it with.  This little feller fit the bill perfectly.    Picked up a rare at Maraudon,  on about the 3rd battle.

What I did to collect all of the Deepholm pets was to take all of the rare level 20-22 pets I collected in Pandaria and leveled them through the uncommon (or less) spawns until I found a rare of each. Helped to easily get a lot of pets to 25 while hunting the rares in Deepholm. Found a bunch of these in the cavern belown Crimson Expanse area.

yep, in the cave of Mauradon, you just have to keep going through it until you see them, then there are TONS, only took me a few to get my rare.  Warning though, level 35 creatures that you cant just walk by very easily.  Im level 49 at the time of this writing, single shot from hunter using aim.

Tons of these and the Topaz ones in the Fungal Deep in Deepholm.  You have to go inside the cave at Verlok Stand to find them all.  I found a rare of this and the topaz within 1 min of each other.  

 

There are also Crimson Geodes in here, but I have yet to see a rare one here or anywhere for that matter.

I love this one! It's unique ability Stoneskin completely obserbs most of the poisons and other DOTs during 5 rounds! Perfect for leveling other pets.

Good against Critters, Animals, Mechanicals and even Flying pets because most of them deal overtime damage that he successfuly obserbs.

I confess, this is one of my personal favorites.

 

 

The combination of Leech Life, Sticky Web and Stoneskin make for an extraordinarily strong and survivable pet, particularly against beasts and humanoids. 

 

 

Plus it just looks nice.  Can't forget that part.

Tons of Shale Hatchlings (Amethyst, Topaz, and Crimson) are around Therazane's Throne. Just teleport up there and collect away.

I caught a rare one of these and I absolutely love it.  Stoneskin, Sticky Web, Leech Life, Sticky Web, Leech Life, repeat.  Defeats pretty much anything it comes across without ever dropping below 50% health. 

 

To respond to comments below: the best way to determine rarity is to use an addon or macro.  Check the Tools section of this site, there are several good ones.

dont look at the health to detirmine rareity but instead look at the other 2 stats, the sword and the gold arrow. The health sugestion in battle tab here is off and after taming the health jumps. So always look at the non-health stats to determine rareity. That goes for all pets. lvl 8 uncommons can be 82 sword and 82 arrow, health 423 which jumps to 502 after tameing and also 85 sword 77 arrow, health 439 that jumps to 527 after taming. My rare was a lvl 7 81 sword and 76 arrow.Hope this helps.

Adult amethyst shale spiders prefer to create their nests against the outer walls of Deepholm.
