Just a few moments ago I killed this bird. Though like 5 minutes before that I saw King Krush just soutwest of the shimmering pillar. I killed Aotona between River's heart and the mosslight pillar. Anyhow, aren't the rare mobs supposed to be far apart in spawn times? What I'm talking about is litterally like 5-10 mins apart, since I was flying around the zone herbing.

Killed this creature at 41,69 this morning - should have taken a screenshot of it while it was still alive :( Oh well...

In any case, the first thing I checked for was to see whether it were tameable or not - I can confirm that it is not tameable.

Very easy kill at lvl79 - got me the Northern Exposure achievement :D

So I logged off my char to restart my computer.
I was still in the forests of Sholazar.
When I went back on, the bird was right on top of me and attacked.
But I was able to kill her.
Very easy kill, nice drops.

Too bad I only wear mail. <---Shammy

Aotona is a giant version of the rare non-combat pet Hyacinth Macaw.

Just killed her at 5:44 Central time on Bloodscalp.

Was around 42.7/50.0 When I found her while doing the quest Need an Engine, Take an Engine. I had been patrolling for Loque'nahak at the time but wasn't in luck. Killed her and got Collar of the Beast and the Satchel which dropped 15g. All in all, 1 more creature added to my Northrend Explore achievement (I got it the first time from King Ping)

I tamed her tonight on ShC at 57,66 ,not too far from the waterfall there.
The time was 1:10 am. If you have done the Frenzyheart Tribe quests, remember where the
tamed croc is? If you were standing on his back, look down the embankment toward the forest area. There is usually a hostile ape that patrols that area back and forth.
If you mine, you'll often see a node there. Aotona was just hovering in that area as the
ape paced beneath her. She was not as deep into the rain forest as I would have thought she'd be. If you're looking, always check by the croc because someone else in our guild also found her there a few days after I did.

Finding her was purely accident. I did not know it was tamable until a few days ago and I still was not sure where to look.
But my druid miner was there getting my hunter ore for the last 2 points of eng; and as she flew down to get the ore, she just about clipped this bird.
However, I (hunter)was in exodar at the time. Luckily I was bound in SB and I hearth'd back, changed pets and flew to my druid who was just over her.
At first I had trouble spotting her because the color of the druid in flight form and aotona are similar.
I set a frost trap and the tame went ok.

This bird was hard to spot even when you knew it was there. So have a macro and use it often.

Good luck to all who are looking for her.

Tamed 5 minutes a go, in the 42.2, 52,2, but is too big for a companion and too small for a Hunter pet.

But I´m happy :)

Nothing grand strategy, only drop the Freezing Trap, pull and tame. Beware of the crocolisks beside.

I was doing the Oracle dailies when I ran into this thing by chance. I didn't have a trash pet but I hurried and dismissed my pet gorilla anyways (I'll miss you Obama.)

**You don't have to be BM to tame this pet because it is not an exotic beast like Loque'Nahak or King Krush.**

Tamed 3:30 p.m. EST (Server time) 5/18/2009 in Sholozar Basin at 41.68 on Smolderthorn US PVP.

Flew past on my paladin doing some dailies, and NPC scan went off....immediately logged out and then flew back to Sholozar (River's Heart FP) using FPs from all the way up at Argent in Icecrown. It was still there in the Wildgrowth Managal west of River's heart and east of Nesingwarys at the coords I mentioned, 41 68. I dropped an ice trap, froze and tamed, pretty simple even with the adds around. Aotona IS an aggo rarespawn so if you plan to tame without a trap or want to clear adds to insure success, keep that in mind. Frost trap hit her with no problems though.

I'm thinking this will end up being my Suvival pet for raiding/dual spec since I've got Loque'nahak last monday at 7:55 a.m. (server) at 67 79 (southwest of Hardknuckle) and Gondria yesterday at 3:30 in ZD at 77 70. I run a Silthid for PVP and have Devilsaur already, but still want KK since he's the most difficult to solo tame. Still waiting to run across him again, and maybe get lucky enough to grab him this time which will be attempt 3 whenever it happens. Both times I've seen him he's been patting southwest from Shango at the Maker's Perch toward Venture Co on the southwest end of Bittertide Lake and then back up around 10:20-10:30 p.m. server... I'm not sure if each server has a different time cycle for spawning times based on their individual time zones or if they run off of a set GMT time for their spots, but the timing and spawn locations I've seen so far seem to be at consistent times / times of day.

Third time's a charm I hope?

Good luck everyone. NPC scan is quite worth using even if you do have to flush the cache before loading into the game. It can track any NPC you have the numeric ID for, and pops up with a nice little button like the test feature which targets the mob upon a simple click. A must have for tracking these guys down. Also I had more luck camping ONE spawn point repeatedly at the times I've known an NPC to spawn there.....hope that helps. Was also lucky enough to get the Tidal charm for my 39 rogue twink last night from Prince Rezeleh (spelling?) in Arathi off the south coast. Awesome week for gaming so far if I do say so myself :)

If anyone on my realm has questions about timing spawns or what time certain spawns are where etc, read up on the exotics I've posted about or feel free to ask me directly in game if you see me on.

For anyone who may not know already, Aotona is a "Bird of Prey" and is tameable by any hunter. I'll be using her for my survival offspec (raiding spec) pet.

After hunting down and taming Loque'nahak a couple months ago, I wasn't looking forward to taming Aotona. It took me about a week of flying around the basin to find the Spirit Beast, so I know how hard getting these rare beasts can be.

I've been searching sporadically every day (for about 5 minutes at a time, once or twice in a given day) for Aotona ever since 3.1 hit, and just 3 minutes ago found her. Landed, tried to summon one of my non-exotics but found that it was on a 5-minute cooldown, so good-bye my crap-tastic core hound! I'll tame ya again later this week.

Dropped a freezing trap, and tamed Aotona with no trouble. Pretty bird, I must say. I'm sad to see that she doesn't keep her Eye Peck ability when tamed, but that's not too terrible. She's pretty, and will make a good replacement over my old Olm the Wise pet.

Oh, and I found her by that Frenzy Heart camp; I don't remember the exact coordinates. Good luck to you who are hunting for her!

Tamed this beauty twice, once on my own hunter, and then again on my friends hunter... both times were at the top of an hour.

I caught mine around 3:00pm server, on Whisperwind, after periodically checking the spawn point at 42,52 for a few weeks. One day I decided I really wanted it so I left my hunter at that spawn point, and started leveling an alt, checking back every once in a while. Finally caught him after camping there that one day.

On my friends hunter I wasn't as lucky.. only took me two days but still. Once again he was found at 42,52 this time around 10:00AM Server time, on WW.

I was checking between two main spawn points, the 42,52 , and then the one by Frenzyheart.

Good luck to all! She's a gorgeous!

Gibalt의 댓글

Finally tamed him just now, after seriously a week of heavy camping.

Useful tip: if you don't already, get a gathering profession like herbalism or mining and track for that respectively, instead of tracking Beasts. I have made thousands of gold while looking for this pet, just by mining every that crossed my path. The pet is just a nice extra then.

I've been trying to get this pet for a while now. Maybe a week or so. Nothing yet but I have seen a Corpse someone had looted....sadly. That was at the Frenzyheart Tribal camp. I now only normally pat between there and the Oracles camp. Will report back with my findings when I get it.

Found and tamed 10:23PM Server Time, Azjol Nerub. Aotona was at around 41,67 among the Emperor Cobras and Mangal Crocolisks.

Taming was without incident... which I still couldn't believe considering the many mobs in that area. Good luck!

Woo! Just tamed now at 7:09am. Hit it with an arcane shot so nobody else could tag it, and started the tame. First two tries and i got wing buffeted, then Aotona finally went into the trap. It makes funny parrot sounds instead of the usual bird of prey noises.

Just got me one. I was looking for Loque or King Krush and came across this one. Found it right at 44,69. Now back to looking for the other 2

Jellydog의 댓글

Had been looking to tame her for two weeks found her 3 times but sadly dead 2 of the times.
I asked a few of my friends to help me on my search for her (they all got bored in the first 10 minutes and left me alone to find her) I looked for four hours and then went off to dalaran to do something else for the rest of the day.

I had an early start the next morning hoping to find her when not that many people were about I logged on at Frenzyheart Hill and flew over to one of her spawn points I could not believe it she was so beautiful and just as I was about to set my trap and tame her she fell to the ground dead I was turning around to leave her when I saw one of the friends who I trusted to help me find her looting her I was shocked that one of my best friends (that I know in real life) had killed her knowing I wanted her he said to me that he would give me a phone call to tell me to get online asap if he ever found her I was not a happy Night elf.

Second time I found her she attacked me just north east of The Mosslight Pillar I had no idea what was attacking me untill I thought I should turn around and have a look. It was Aotona! I felt so happy that I dismounted into about 5 cobras and died. I ran back to my corpse as fast as posible so that no one could kill her. Got to my corpse and what did I find? A level 74 Death Knight killing her once again she had just slipped away from me.

The Third time I found her I had been looking for 7 straight hours and nothing so I had given up. Was flying off to River's Heart went afk for 2 minutes came back and the beauty spawned right infront of me I was so excited that I jumped off my mount and killed her at 21:43 realm time kicked myself about 5 seconds later when I remembered I wanted to tame her so the hunt for the beauty known as Aotona goes on!

Happy hunting all :)

I just tamed this lovely Bird about an hour ago. I was flying into the Basin and about to hop off my flight path in River's Heart when I saw this giant Blue Bird just hanging out around the Suntouched Pillar spawn point. I pretty much freaked out because even though I hadn't been actively searching for this pet, I knew I would tame her if I found her. I can use her for fun in WG since I am not a real hardcore PvP nut. So I prayed that I would land quickly and find her alive. Took me a good 1-2 minutes to find her again since I had to pull out my target macro that I had used for my hunt for Loque'nahak (which was a success). And after swapping out to a trash pet in my stable, I had to fumble around and tame this birdie. After a couple of accidental add aggros and waiting on my trap to come off CD, I finally got the tame. I was lucky that no one came to grief me.

She does have a Wing Buffet so I happened to lay a trap, start taming that she knocked me out of, have her follow me over the trap and tame. No one was around so I didn't bother to tag her. But tagging is usually a good idea.

I was surprised at how small she really is. I think I need to farm the minipet on this toon so I can run around with Mommy and baby. lol And now that I have Loque and Aotona, I think I might have to tame Krush too and be the Tamer of the Basin. :D

Good luck grabbing this pet. She is so pretty!

Finally tamed this pretty bird today at 5:30am server time, making my collection of Sholazar rares complete. One thing I noticed though was that as I promptly went back to base camp to show off I happened to see Krush spawn nearby, so I guess that says something about the respawn mechanics.

Will be using it for my survival offspec as well.

Found it at 42,74 at 07:45am (CET) on Skullcrusher. This is the southernmost possible spot it seems and in the southwestern quadrant.

This is my story of how i tracked down Aotona:

For about a week I had planlessly revisited Sholazar Basin and flown a couple of laps around River's Heart in hopes of just stumbling across Aotona. I always saw 1-3 other hunters in the area using the camp-at-one-spot approach along with some other classes who I suspected were leveling alts acting as spotters for another char. So I was never really alone.

When I got bored of flying, I did some grinding in the southwestern area, which seemed to be shunned by the other hunters for some reason.

As I said this went on for about a week. Some days I spent a bit longer in there, some days I weren't even logged on, don't really know for sure. But I soon realized that this wasn't working - this required a concentrated effort.

So at about 09:00pm on Monday I sat down for a long night of canvassing the area. I developed a system for myself where I would take on lap around the whole area (clockwise, just felt better), making sure to cover the spawn points, and then land in the northwestern area (which was now empty of other hunters) and do some grinding/hanging around. After 10-15 minutes or so I would repeat the process. I felt this approach would be a nice compromise, maximizing endurance and sanity by not only doing one thing all the time. I would get some grinding done AND keep an eye on all spawn points as well. Win-win situation sort of. The northwestern area was more open and more packed with mobs to kill, so I now understand why the other hunters prefered it.

I flew pretty close to the ground since I realized that this bird would not be cruising around at high altitude like big dragons do; It would flap around on the ground basically. I tracked beasts even though I didn't really need to - just using your eyes and look for an out of place, blue parrot would be enough. Well, maybe not so out of place, this IS a jungle after all, but out of place among all those cobras and crocolisks - it would surely stick out.

This went on and on, hour after hour. Eventually around midnight to one o'clock the area was starting to lose players. This was a slow night for sure. But that's just a good thing. It was actually only in the beginning that I saw another hunter out for the same thing I was. And that guy mysteriously disappeared pretty quickly. Could he have gotten it? In retrospect it seems very plausible.

Other than that there was the occasional melee class here or druid there, mostly hordies (I'm a NE), nothing special. By two or three the area was completely void of people. But still no Aotona...

For me, dailies reset at 03:00am, so I knew I had to keep an extra eye out then, because there will always be a few players arriving before and after that. None that I saw was a hunter though. Good. I took some detours from my now almost auto-piloted flight path and did the Tuesday Oracle dailies myself as a much needed break. Before long, the area was empty again (except for a questing druid).

Since that hunter disappeared early on, I felt I had had pretty good control of the area, feeling pretty confident I had not missed it (but who knows). At about 04:15am I finally decided I needed to get some sleep. I felt that it simply couldn't be long now before it spawned, but this was now Tuesday morning and I needed to work this day! I set my alarm for 06:00am and then again for about 07:30, leaving just enough time to get up and go straight to work.

At six I got up and sat down again and took just one lap around River's Heart. No Aotona... Distraught I went to bed again. :(

Then in the morning when I got up again and sat down, I took my regular lap around the lake, starting from the northwestern sector. As I was completing the lap in the southwestern sector I felt pretty sad. My plan was a failure.

But wait...! What was that? To the left of me, tucked away behind a tree close to the ground, there was a big, blue parrot flapping about! It looked like it was hiding almost. Success!

I had a (very) quick look around and then sat down in front of it, out of way of most mobs (I hoped). Immediately I lay down a freezing trap at my feet and then tagged Aotona. The trash pet spawned next to me and I was quick to abandon it, back up a few steps, and start hammering the tame beast button.

Perfect sync with the freezing trap. Aotona was tamed just as the trap broke. Next to me now was a much smaller, blue new friend. And that was that!

My take from all of this? Save yourself a week of travelling back and forth to SB and pull a one-nighter like I did instead. The spawn time seemed to be 7 or 8 hours, maybe more, depending of what that hunter found or didn't find.

Good hunting! :)

Well, since others have left their stories, I'll share mine too. :) Since taming this beauty was a big deal for me!

My best friend since middle school (we're now in our mid-twenties) has been begging me to play WoW with her since it came out. She only finally wore me down about a year ago, and as a "welcome to Azeroth" present she gave me a rare hyacinth macaw for which she'd farmed for weeks. At that time, pets still took up bag space, so she was my only pet for a long time.

When it was first rumored that a tamable beast with the same skin was on the way, I knew I had to have the set, especially since I didn't have a PVP pet yet.

As soon as I was a high enough level to tame her after the expansion, I visited Sholazar multiple times a day. Sometimes I would spend hours looking for Aotona. Sometimes I would just camp spawn points. I never found her. Since my hunter is my main, I had other obligations to address of course ... lvling, raids, etc ... but I tried to check back for her in Sholazar every 1-2 hours. Months of frustration passed with no luck.

This morning, when AGAIN I couldn't find her, I decided I was just going to stop doing anything on my main. I was going to camp the Wildgrowth Mangal and not do ANYTHING until I found her. I would lvl alts, and log back every 30 minutes when the hearth cooled down to look for Aotona. Well, right after one such unsuccessful search, I logged back to my mage and started questing ... when my aforementioned best friend saw Aotona while she was looking for Loque! She engaged the bird in combat and basically just let herself get beat upon while I logged over and flew to where she was. Without my best friends sharp eyes and charitable heart I would not have this beautiful bird that I've wanted for so long. So thank you Galen!

I've submitted a screenshot of the pair of parrots in Sholazar.

I'm sooooo happy! ^^

Tamed on Whisperwind approximately 3:30 pm server time 8/24/09

Tamed last night on Haomarush 3:24 AM server time at the water fall to the east. I had been hunting for over a month from time to time sometimes putting 7hrs into a camp, Seen King Krush a few times killed once. I had camped the area for about 6 hrs last night till 2:30 then got in the bed with the wife, she said she couldn't sleep and I still had my sceen up so she asked how to look for him. Well it couldn't hurt if she wanted to try for me. Showed her the roped and I fell asleep. About a hour I heard OMG THERE HE IS! as I jumped out a dead sleep to take the chair shacking like crazy trying to open my eyes. Hoping to pull it off but could not get my head straight. Finally I abandon my wolf got a trap down and was like what next oh start taming lol. As soon as tame finshed he knocked me back about 15feet but yay the tame held. got a tear in my eye as I gave the wife a hug. She was my luck I needed all along.
So to all you hunters out there I wish you the best it's a prize for sure. GL in ya hunt. Rokee

I'll throw my story in there too, I suppose! And sorry for this being so long...

I loved this bird when I first layed eyes upon it on Petopia at about level 65(It's great, because I have a fascination with pirates), and was dedicated to leveling just to get it.
I figured when I got about 75-76 I'd start the hellish hunt for this bird, scraping away hours of my life for the damn thing. On the contrary, I tell you I must be the luckiest Hunter on the server, because I honestly used the macro below for about 6 solid minutes not even looking up her coordinates and found her! Thus, balancing out my past luck, which I'd say was horrible, hah!

About 5 days ago (level 74) I figured I'd get Uhk'loc, the Rare white ape in the gorilla cave in Un'goro (I have a thing for PvE gorillas), which took about a good hour and 30 to stand there and get the spawn. Now the reason I tell you that, is because it was honestly easier for me to hit up that macro for 6 minutes blindly than to stand in that exact, exact spot and wait there for that Gorilla.

Now to tell about the capture.
After the bird popped (coords: 50,53 Rainspeaker Canopy) using the /Target Aotona macro, I pretty much freaked out, hitting every button I had, assuming that a random Hunter would tame her as soon as I hopped off mount. Figured I'd give it a try with just 'Tame Pet' and no 'Frost Trap'. Yea, don't do that!.. She has a knockback attack that will kick you out of Tame as soon as she gets close. Feined Death and re-tried with Frost Trap, success.

I feel great, going to go scratch some lottery tickets. I suppose it just goes to show that sometimes a blind shot in the dark just may make your day.

Good luck Hunters!

fly around a bit, find her, pop a ice trap, tame her, done deal....

in all of 10 minutes i went from having a scorpid i never used to having a beautiful bird to keep Gutripper and King Mukla company.

Tamed this lovely lady yesterday on Misha, around 4.30 EST after an unsuccessful search for Skoll. Didn't look that much, flew in and out of SB a few times doing laps of the Basin. I was lucky at this point, not many people are in there looking for her.
Got Venomtip, ran the heroic daily, came back and got a hit off of Silver Dragon and ESN Rare for her. Spent about five minutes with my heart in my throat looking for her, hoping no one else would kill her (happened to a guildie while he was taming her once) or that she wasn't being tamed.
Found her, and am happy as a kitten.

My luck held out, as I never set a Freezing Trap on her, and never got the Wing Buffet.

I was looking for some rhino for a quest and I happen to notice 'Aotona' on my map, I thought it might have been an enemies pet because I have never heard of this bird before. Come to my surprise it was this BEAUTIFUL creature. I decided to see if it was tamable, I was filled with happiness when it said it was. So I Imediately abandoned my Sapphire Wasp and engaged her in combat. At first I tried trapping her, Failed. Then I used Wyvern Sting on her and it worked :D. Was about 4:30AM PST on Frostwolf Server.

I just found it and killed it, thinking it was beautiful but disappointed since I didn't have BM on offspec. I instinctively acted and now regret it, finding out it's not exotic :( I got an achievement but lost a great pet. Would have been awesome. There's always next time. Sorry if anyone was farming on Demon Soul.

Tamed this beauty just northwest of the Oracle quest village, about 3:15 am server time, on the Whisperwind server. Freeze trap is pretty much a necessity, as Aotona has a wing buffet ability that knocks you back, interrupting the taming process.

Not sure if it shares this trait with any other birds of prey, but Aotona actually squawks like a parrot.

Just tamed this nice bird after 3 days of intensive scouting. So happy!

I strongly recommend searching when there are little players online since there are alot of activity in the area with dailys and such. I found him at 04:30 AM

I got surprised how big the wild version of the bird were when I found it, was alot bigger than I espected. Sadly the size goes down alot when you tame, but its still the best looking pet out there (imo).

I tamed this lovely bird yesterday with the help of my boyfriend as we were looking for Loque.

This happened about 14 hours ago now. I didn't take the exact time when I captured it, as I wasn't all that interested in it at first but now i'm really happy I got it.

Well my hunter had been looking for this bird for 3 1/2 months after i saw it with my pally, I am a miner/engineer so i must have gathered enough ore to make a saronite version of iron forge, and enough eternal fires to melt that, when i fanally found her near rivers heart after a 14 hour gaming session. almost lost my good wolf, i was so excited that i almost abandoned him instead of tossing him into the open stable spot. Dropped a trap, tamed, and now i have the best looking bird out there. Just a little beef i had, i had spotted her one other time, and was taming her when a dwarf pally dropped down and smoked her. I mean honestly if you see a fellow alliance taming a beast why would you drop down and kill it? Permanently on my ignore list.

I was on my Death Knight doing Oracle dailies when I happened upon this beautiful creature. So I politely advertised in general chat that I had this bird in my sights, in the hopes of a hunter out there wanting this bird for his/her own. No one showed so I diced her up. She was patrolling right next to Frenzyheart Hill, due west of the settlement.

Dropped plate bracers .... of the Beast.

Why do people keep posting, for every rare mob, how they camped them for weeks and then killed or tamed them. This is neither funny nor insightful, it's just plain waist of time, both yours and mine!

Hunters, glad for you that you find a pet, but you don't have to write it here.

Hey Nova, people post their comments here so that other hunters can have an idea of where the pets spawn, and usually have some idea of a spawn timer. It is to help other hunters with their quest to tame this rare that usually only last a few minutes from its spawn point since blizzard had this bright idea to put it in an acheivement list. So people post their server and the time so that people from their server can get a better idea of when to go look. Needless to say I have only seen her once, when some horde DK came and killed her right infront of me. I did however enjoy wintergrasp alot more that day.

Just tamed this beautiful bird at the spawn point 44, 69 at about 3:45am server (Steamwheedle Cartel US). I was incredibly lucky because I first saw her on my druid alt, frantically logged over to my hunter only to endure a four-minute flight to Sholazar from Dalaran anxiously hoping no one else would find her. I was thrilled to discover her still there and, of course, it took me about 15 seconds to realize I didn't even have my tame beast spell anywhere on my bars. Otherwise, she was very easy to tame with a trap!

Good luck to the rest of you searching for her!

Actually, Aotona was always in the database for NPCScan. However, if you had the original version, Aotona was listed as a "tamable mob" and wouldnt trigger an alarm, as the version would pick up all creatures of that ID - including hunters pets in cities and out of the original spawn zone. You had to go into settings and tick the option to allow it to report tamable mobs.
The new version, however, will bring up tamable mobs anyways, and will only give you a UI warning if you are in the zone which the creature originally spawns (ie, Aotona will only pop up a UI display if you are in Sholazar Basin). Most people dont know much about the addon, and have it just for the convenience of NOT having to spam a /tar macro...

Now personally, I have seen Aotona 5 times, all on the Silvermoon US server, and shes the last I need for Frostbitten.. So obviously Ive yet to kill her.
Between personal experience, and talking with others on the server, I can put in my idea that shes on a longer spawn timer, and that happens to be between 8 and 15 hours.
So, it is common that she can be up only once per day, up to 3 times.
As for most common spawn points? Anywhere is fair game, but Ive seen her 2/5 times at the waterfall area around Frenzyheart Hill....

Good Luck, Happy Hunting.

Shattered Hand, 5:50am Server time.

Another hunter was nice enough to use /1 chat to ask if any hunters wanted to tame Aotona. I responded, grouped, and quickly headed over to 59, 63 where the other hunter already had the bird ice cubed for me. However, despite being in a party, I wasn't able to begin taming until the other hunter feigned death so I could get aggro.

The horror, the horror....

Aotona, Loque and King Krush are all tameable, and all 3 are part of the Frostbitten achievement.

This sucks bigtime.

They are the last 3 I need for Frostbitten, and I have spotted all 3 and past on killing them, a hunter of my faction showed up each time and wanted to tame them.

This is just a terrible desicion by Blizz. I know of hunters who have spent weeks in Sholazar waiting for Loque.

Having them part of the Frostbitten achievement is just an evil desicion by Blizz.

Hunters, help a brotha (or sista) hunta out. If you see this pretty parrot, DONT KILL IT!

YELL in general or something where you are & what you just saw, so others can know it's there. I have no desire for this pet but helped another get it for herself. She was very appreciative ;)

Sorry, I do not remember server time but it was just N/E of the flight path by the river in the middle of the map. I was farming rhino meat & saw it fly past me ;)

There is enough drama in the world, lets have fun & help each other out. Where is the love mon?

I think this bird is harder to find than Loque!

I was lucky enough to get all 4 spirit beasts within 2 days. Lady luck has run out for me though, as I've been putting in hours and hours for about a week and still nothing.

Please do pass it on if you encounter this bird. The achievement is pointless.....it's just a pat on the back ...a "way to go!, Good Job". No reward.

Please keep posting the coordinates of where you located Aotona...I think so far it's most common spawn point is in the 42,69 vicinity...just east of mosslight pillar.

Finally tamed this bird just now! 406server, 42,69 on Azjol Nerub.

My advice to anyone trying to get this pet is to camp out Mosslight Pillar. It seems this is the preferred spawn spot.

Be aware that she is doing Wing Buffet (to people who doubts what that is, it's when she pushes you backwards) when you're taming her making it more difficult to tame

But she makes a fine pet, not for much use, though - or am I missing something?

Hey, I had the same experience on the Steamwheedle EU Server last night. I was doing the Northrend Elders, flying on my druid from the Borean Tundra into Sholazar, and seeing this big blue parrot cruising around in lazy circles. (Between River's Heart and the Mosslight pillar)
Now I had only ever seen it once, and that was when I had to kill it for the Frostbitten achievement, where it was the second to last one on my list left, seeing as how rare it is to find alive. It was a very old plan of mine though to tame it on my huntress, a few months back I had spent a few days circling Sholazar, but given up quickly. But now, here it was, in plain sight of everyone mining, herbing and whatnot, and my huntress was in Dalaran!
Muttering to myself "it won't be there, it won't be there", with the adrenaline levels rising, I logged over, what seemed to take an eternity, dualspecced to BM so I could sadly release Loque to make stable space for Aotona, ran to the Wintergrasp portal (which took equally ages to load), flew over to Sholazar.... and it was still there. I popped a freezing trap, and started taming, hoping that she wouldn't get killed in a mid tame. And then she was mine... the last pet I planned to ever tame before Cataclysm.
Things happen when you least expect them, so don't give your hopes up!

I have been searching for ages...

Aotona is one of my last 3 for Frostbitten along with that damned King Krush and Vyragosa. All 3 have been a problem. I have searched all around River's Heart covering all spawn points three times a day for the past 2-3 weeks. Nothing!..

I completed Bloody Rare with only 2 being a problem, but still found them 1-2 weeks after. Im waiting for my screen to flash red and see a purple bird flapping its wings having the time of its life, that is of course until I slaughter her and use her head as a trophy of my victorious kill (sorry If this offends hunters, but its reality).

Oh well. I guess I have to continue searching. If anyone finds Aotona and already killed her, pm me so we can kill it together (if you want). My account name is Chrimson. Thanks! :)

Regardless of your objective (kill or tame) consider camping just one spot instead of circling for this girl - theres enough traffic thanks to questing and mining that a split second makes a big difference. When I found her, I was doing circles and asked randomly in general. She had just spawned right after I had flown away and someone was kind enough to tell me she was there. I used the 'camp one spot' idea for Krush and it saved me alot of grief. Just kept npcscan on, volume cranked, and tabbed out to do some other chores. The addon did all the work :)

I tamed this bird today in Sholazar at 40/58, 07.50 server time (Azuremyst). It is not a neutral beast so don't bother circling around tracking neutrals like I did for a month... It's an aggressive beast so it shows red on your tracking hud, just as King Krush does. And yes, although it's an elite, you don't need to be a beastmaster to tame and control it. I used freezing trap, got wing buffed once before it got caught in the trap, which hold it still for enough time to tame it, once it got close enough to trigger the trap. Good luck to all hunting for this unique bird!

Tamed at 10:32am server time at 56,57 on the Terenas server. I caught this guy literally 10 minutes after I caught Loque'nahak, after camping them both for about 3 weeks. It seems that this is a good time in the morning to catch these guys.

Been circling her spawn points for 8 hours now without luck, had to crack open a bottle of voddie to stop myself going insane. Anyone know how long the corpse takes to despawn? As theres 2 bloody botters on my realm in 2 of the spots she spawns in, made a ticket about it but no luck there either as of yet..

Edit: Yes, got her! just over 8 hours of shear boredom but finally it pays off, she spawned at her south western most point where one of the botters was but was able to tag her in time, nice easy tame as freezing trap works on her.

Bubonic의 댓글

The corpse isn't skinnable, but it disappears after about 2 minutes. Since it takes about that long to fly around Aotona's spawn points, it's possible that even if you're patrolling her route, she could spawn, be killed, and the corpse could disappear before you get a chance to see it, especially if you're not doing a continuous patrol. I spent over 11 hours flying around her spawn points before I found her, once every five minutes or so, but her spawn time could have been less than that.

Just tamed this magnificent beast today. He spawned in the southwest spawn point. I was lucky because he hadn't thrown off my npscan addon at first, but there happened to be a steam cloud I was extracting or I would have been long gone. Been searching for this guy for a about week now. I just need cata to come around soon so I can have more pet slots.

I tamed this wonderful pet last night. Approximately 52-75 for those with coordinates, for those without that is a hair north of the Skyreach Pillar. One of my guildies was mining and kept going on and on about this bird he saw and how it was the only one he had ever seen like it. He was mining on his rogue and although he has two level 80 hunters, he was reluctant to stop mining to try to tame it. So I told him to sit tight and I was getting on my hunter to give it a try. That flight took forever and allowed me the time to check wowhead and see just how rare this pet was. When I got there, amazingly no one else had tried to kill it or tame it so I went to work. I will tell you two things, one, make sure to use a trap, and two, he will do a wing buffet knockback as soon as you start to tame so be prepared to hit it again after the trap goes off. I had about a quarter of a second left on the trap when I tame him. This thing is beautiful and an immediate attention getter, plus birds are fun for pvp, not quite as good as a crab or spider, but I am not giving him up at all. Happy hunting for those who are after him.

I tamed at about 3:30am realm time (Emerald Dream) location 39:70. Or a little North East of The Mosslight Pillar for those who dont use Co-ord's.

Been wanting this pet for so so long but never the patience to actually tame. Then over 2 days i lived in Sholazar. After reading some comments on other sites it seems all the Rares in Sholazar run on a random lottery spawn, and only 1 will be up at any 1 time. The spawn rate i cannot really relate to any comments you may see on other sites because after realising i need to check for Loque and Krush to see if they are up, i went to the Northern most spawn (53:24) for Loque and he was there at 2:30am .. then found Krush around South Eastern edge (65:78) at 3:00am .. then Aotona at the location above at 3:30am. So that is all 3 spawned in the space of 1 hour. Yes yes i know, i am a jammy s.o.b :-p

Good luck to all hunting it down, i love my new pet! now to lvl it! :D

I tamed mines at around 2:32-2:42 am on July 06. 2010. I was logged onto my druid to go buy an oracle egg and seeing as she's got a faster flying mount than my hunter i said to myself " eh let me go look and see if any of the rares are up" and npc scan went off! I was freaking out and I couldn't log off my druid fast enough. And then i fly the wrong way and had to turn npc scan back to see the spawn points and then log back in;freaking out the whole time someone was going to kill it. And yup, she did the wing buffet on me. The ice trap wore off faster than I would've liked than she did the wing buffet. And one a side note, king krush spawned EXACTLY 30 mins after the bird at cords 29.8, 53.6. The path near The Bones of Nozronn. He might have spawned right by them. And yeah the ice trap DOESN'T work! he broke it and cast fear on me and killed me and by the time I got my body back and found him again a stupid rogue was killing him and I said no! /cry and he took off and didn't say a word to me >_> sorry for the wall of text xD lol Forgot to mention it on Uther (US) server.

I just killed Aotona for Frostbitten (sorry, hunters) at the southwestern spawn clump. Flying along my usual route, NPCScan barks that it found Aotona, I don't see him and flip the camera around, and see the back half of the targeting circle's arc disappearing behind a tree and then despawning out of vision range.

I almost missed him Aotona was OUTSIDE the map-highlighted area if you're using Rare Spawn Overlay - perhaps 10-15 pixels northwest of the southwestern spot. If you're using RSO and hunting Aotona, be careful to also clip NW of the SW spot. (Sorry to add to the hassle and frustration of what's already a grindy achievement.)

I just found her at 41,58. Id been logging on to my hunter now and then to complete a few quests and search for the rare spawns in Sholazar King Krush, Loque'nahak, and of course, Aotona. I logged off to go on my mage at 41,58 sold something on the auction house then logged back on to my hunter and there she was. I landed, dismissed my pet raptor, lay down a Freezing Trap, hit her with Concussive Shot, and began to tame her. 20 seconds later, she was mine. This was at approx. 15:45 (game time) on the Argent Dawn server. Good Luck to all Hunters out there who hope to tame her!

I've seen the bird 3 times in the same spot: (58, 64), always between 9-12am. Once I was too slow to tag it so it was killed in front of me, then the horde who killed it killed me. Another time it was simply dead, then finally I camped like a gosu and got it after 3 hours. It spawned at exactly 11:38 so all the comments saying NPCs spawn at the top of the hour or 00, 15, 30 are wrong. Do your faction a favour and tag it, then shout in general chat and maybe /who dalaran for players who would want to get credit for the kill... Beasts and humanoids are especially easy for this since they can be polymorphed to full health. I'd also recommend setting up a channel (/join Frostbitten) where you can communicate rare spawns and form camping teams.

Good luck hunting it guys.

Edit: He's pretty small unfortunately, spottable maybe 60 yards away from where he spawns. NPCScan Overlay and a bunch of people in a raid group camping is your best bet at finding him.

Edit 2: I know its pretty much RNG as to where and when they spawn, but my comment was just indicating one possible trend (if it spawns in the morning, may be more likely to be at 58, 64) and dispelling the notion that all rares spawn at exactly a certain time. I'm guessing the other comments aren't useful if you're not a hunter.

Hope this question here is ok, could be interesting or other "hunters".

How big is Aotona, in the wild? Can't really tell from the screenshots.

Wanna know because, as you should know, some bigger mobs can be seem from greater distances. ie. Thrym, or Putridus (my NPCScan found him from as far away as Dalaran sometimes).

If Aotona is pretty big, might be he gets detected sooner/from greater distances which could influence choice of where to camp him. ie. the area at the Wildgrowth Mangal is pretty big, larger than the ~100yard NPCScan circle marks. But if Aotona's big enough he might be detected even then 150yards away or something.

No luck. :( I have 3 of the spirit cats from here, 3 of the spirit cats from ZD and two of the spirit bears from Grizzly Hills. Can't find Skoll or this bird.

I found this bird yesterday while questing NPCScan went off just as I flew away. I landed real quick, abandoned the pet I had and started to tame it with a freezing trap. I was half way through and a Tauren Warrior came out of nowhere and started to kill it. I was so ticked off.

I understand the whole kill for achievement versus tame the pet thing but that was just simply being a jerk.

So... back to getting myself a regular pet until I can find the rare spawn I want....

Things like this suck for hunters who plan on getting frostbitten but also want some of the rares they have to kill. I have yet to even see this bird let alone tame or kill it. I've killed and tamed King Krush, and tamed Loque'nahak, but this bird just eludes me.

With 4.0 coming out and all the hunters with suddenly open stable slots to fill, getting this is going to suck more than usual.

Fortunate의 댓글

The best add ons to go about finding Aotona and other rares are NPCScan and NPCScan Overlay. Overlay will tell you the locations, Scan will go off once in range.

When taming, you will NEED to use Freezing Trap. She uses Wing Buffet, which will knock you back, and interrupt your tame beast. You can hit her, in order to tag her and stop someone else from working toward Frostbitten, but just don't DoT her.

For those wondering, Aotona is HUGE in the wild (As are Loque'nahak and King Krush). Although I was in a rush to tame her, I would say she's about as big as Alystros the Verdant.

Aside from having the only Parrot model as a tamable pet (At least until Cata), Aotona also retains her parrot sounds. She sounds similar to the parrots from Deadmines.

According to Petopia, there will be more parrot type birds of prey available, come Cata. However, Aotona's colors will still be exclusive to her.

And finally, Aotona does not obey the Trick command.

Now that the crazy stable fee has been got rid of, my tauren has been running around collecting those pets that I've always quite liked the look of.
Monday 8th at 2:30am I couldn't sleep so on the off chance decided to check my mail and mine abit.
Whilst there I created a macro to look for the creatures I wanted to tame and just spammed not really expecting anything to come up, but imagine my shock and delight when that silver dragon frame popped up.
I tamed this wonderful pet at 41.4,69.2 on the Azuremyst server, and am thrilled to have finally caught a rare beasty :).
1 down, heck loads to go lol.
Good luck to all you hunters-and keep looking, you'll eventually find them when you least expect it.

My 10 cents worth on hunting Aotona:
Runetotem: server time
12-28-2010
9:22 am Npc scan detected Aotona
(after 4 hrs) 1:15 pm npc scan detected King Krush
(after 8 hrs) 9:22 pm npc scan detected king Krush
(after 8hrs) 5:15 am (12-29-2010) Npc scan detected Aotona
(after 5 hrs) 10:15 am (12-29-2010) Loque spotted
(after 8hrs)6:00 pm (12-29-2010) King Krush

There’s a pattern and Aotona determines king krush or loque ‘s appearance after 4-5 hrs after her death or tame. And King Krush will appear definitely 8 hrs after that. And yah. Ive calculated another 8 hr (2am) 12-30-2010 Aotona again. Happy hunting.
Heads up hunters better tag them before tame, even other hunters would kill them for achievement. :(

Ran across this pretty bird on total accident. Was flying back to Nesingwary from River's Heart and there it was! I don't remember where exactly, but I'm pretty sure I was flying through the Wildgrowth Mangal. I'm on Kul Tiras and tamed it around 7:40 PM. It was really big and bright and hard to miss. Flies low enough on the ground that you'll run right into him!

Don't know if this info helps but I hope so!

Whew... could've lost her.

I was heading to Sholozar to see if King Krush was up since I had already tamed Loque a couple days before. So I took a flight path so I could take a smoke break while I flew there. I come back and I see NPCscan found Aotona. So I click on the popup to target her but I fly around and can't find her -- LOL. So I hearth back to Dalaran, so I thought. Just prior to heading back to Northrend I set hearth to SW since all my guild members meet up there.
I posted 100g for port back to Dalaran. Got at least 5 people the second I posted that trying to add me to party. I accept the first one....she's right in front of me and is taking forever to cast port, longest 5 mins I've waited. Another mage is by the fountain in SW and says I'll port free. WTH! There's really generous people still playing? LOL. I gladly accept port and before I leave try to trade and at least give him 50g. Trade cancelled. What a nice guy, ikillyoou.
So now I'm in Dalaran I hurry out in the open cast Sandstone Drake and get to the flight path asap. I'm back on the same flight path that initially discovered Aotona and this time I'm finally able to see where she is. Target her and fly back up out of River's Heart. Head over to 53.73 and see her flapping those pretty wings. I think ok, she's a 75 Elite I can do this. I was wrong lol. I started the tame and almost done then she hits me with wing buffet. I did this twice and finally on the third time, successful. Tamed at 0105 server time on Dunemaul.

Happy hunting!
Now I won't have the urge to buy the Hyacinth Macaw.......I hope.

It took forever for me to get this beautiful bird! I spent months circling the Rivers Heart area to catch all his spawn points every chance I got hoping to catch him to no avail.

At the same time I was trying to get 스콜 so I was bouncing between the two zones regularly with identical bad luck. One night I got a phone call from my brother at 1:30AM, waking me up, stating that Skoll was up. I rushed to log on and flew my Hunter from Dal to Storm Peaks and tamed the lightning wolf! Then while heading to Borean Tundra to get to Org I decided to swing by the Basin for a quick circuit for Aotona.

I started by the Wolvar village and did my usual circle and NPCscan went off north of the Oracle village! I dismounted, dropped a trap and tamed the best looking parrot in the game! I thanked my brother profusely since his one phone call gave me both Skoll and Aotona!

Interestingly enough, when I finally tamed 공포의 화염거북, I was on the phone with him too. Perhaps I should start selling his phone number to hopeful Hunters as he seems to be a good luck charm. :o)

Named her Polly....not the most imaginative I know, but it just seemed right.

Tamed this bird today on my hunter at around 1030AM. This was only moments after finding Loque and taming her. So both seem to be able to be up at the same time. Both were at the southern spawn points. Loque near the Mosslight Pillar and Aotona was near the Skyreach Pillar. This was on Moonrunner. Good luck to all.

she spawned somewhere around 4:00am realm time, i was farming mines on my paladin when my npc scan went off. i quickly logged begged my husband port me to dalaran and starting flying to her. i ended up flying through wintergrasp which was going on making me port out down to borean, i started flying up again and once again it did the same thing making me shoot to the same spot (was a little irked at that point) flew the long way, landed trying to locate her again. found and tamed with no issues (other then the annoying porting)

she was flying around the North middle spawn point (on the map)

on a further note after i heared and switched back to my Paladin King Krush spawned i found him, jumped back on my hunter, woke my hubby up made him port me, and tamed him too ;D

I was just finishing up my dailies in Shol, npc scan went off. Saw the cool bird. I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted to kill it, being an achieve hunter, or tame it. I actually took the time to check it out on this site and found out it's a pretty rare find. So as I'm taming the bird another hunter walks up. Feel kinda bad now cause I've put in no time for this awesome pet =P

Was farming leather on my hunter to make the level 68 PvP set for my Druid (This was back in LK). Turned around and this bastard had wandered into my volley spam (had like 10 crocks and some snakes on me at the time).

Too bad there was no way to kill all the crocks, snakes, dismiss pet and complete the tame without one of us dying.

Had to kill her.

And to spite me ... I've never seen her again!

Don't follow my road kids... Here is MY story:

While in a que for a BG, I thought "Hmmm... I need a bird pet." So, I went to Petopia and saw this magnificent bird. Clicked on it, and I saw it was a rare named Aotona . I already had one rare (King Krush) and I thought this wouldn't be too hard to tame or find, considering I was 84 atm. First, I cleared my NPC Scan cache. Then, I moved to step 2, finding it. While there, my friend, also a hunter, asked if I could search for the spirit beast. I don't like spirit beasts due to their weak abilities and everyone has one, so I really didn't care if I found it and gave him the location. So, I searched to whole area of spawn points for the spirit beast, and found nothing. Now, to begin my search for Aotona. I searched the spawn points and found him. I even whispered to myself "Cool beans, now to tame." So, I hopped of my wyvern and began to tame. But then uh-oh. "KING KRUSH HAS BEEN FOUND" was screamed by the addon. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUU, DISMISS, DISMISS!" But, I was too late, Aotona, beauty bird of Shalozar, rests in peace. But, knowing me, I looked at the posotive side, I get a free gold sum, and some cool loot I could possibly use on my alts. But what was this? My pet killed it, so I couldn't get loot! For a while, I thought about making a GM ticket, but knew it most likly would be useless, so I didn't bother. After looking at it all though, I think it is something I can laugh at.

So, just remember these rules.
1. Dismiss pet before searching.
2. If you forget step 1, then at least fire one shot before it is too late.
3. HAVE FUN AND LAUGH AT MISTAKES!

I am very disappointed. I have tamed Loque, Gondria, Skoll, Madexx (red and brown versions, almost tamed blue, but someone killed it), Terrorpene, Sambas, Ghostcrawler, and Ashtail, but have not ONCE seen Aotona or King Krush. WTF? I really want this bird. I can post screenies of my pets no one believes me. ;)

As more than one person has said, be prepared, if you're 85 and running around Northrend. I saw this bird yesterday on Elune flying low to the ground, beautiful colors. I figured I'd tame it, but I had the wrong spec, and probably didn't have time to switch--plus my pet hit it a couple of times. A BM hunter friend was on and I was going to party and summon him (yay guild perks!), so I threw down a frost trap, it caught the bird and it died!

This was the first time I had ever seen any Northrend rare, and I was unprepared....ha...it was just Northeast of the Oracle daily quest givers, it wouldn't have lasted long. I'll be downloading the scan addon and being more careful next time.

I have got to get this bird for myself, I've seen a couple of the other rares from Northrend but this pet was just plain beautiful.

5 months of nearly daily cruising is over for my level 85 hunter. Tamed today, May 2 , 2011 on Muradin in Wildgrowth Mangal 44.06,70.42. around 4:40 pm server time. Used tame beast then ice trap, then tame beast. Mine mine mine mine.

Well, after almost 12 hours of straight camping for this beautiful bird today, my 85 BM was rewarded for all her efforts tonight at 23:46pm server time on the Arygos realm, around the 44,70 spawn location. I had been doing a clockwise circle around Aotona's spawn points in SB. When you approach this spawn point (44,70) going east to west, there is a big tree located almost directly in the center of Aotona's spawn locations. Aotona was a little north and to the right of the tree.

I used NPCScan and NPCScan Overlay to help find Aotona and both worked like a charm. After NPC alerted, I used the standard targeting macro to close in and tame her. I didn't even have to use a trap, just straight up tamed her.

I had seen plenty of hunters during the day all looking for this bird, but thankfully, most disappeared or gave up around 10pm.

I had also seen plenty of write up's about how Loque, King Krush, and Aotona's are related with regards to the amount of time between their spawns. While I was trying to find Aotona, NPCScan alerted that Loque had spawned around 9:19pm server time. A little over 2 1/2 hours later, NPCScan alerted on Aotona and I was able to tame her, quite different from the 4 - 6 hour time frame that I was expecting from reading the Warcraft forums.

Hope this helps anyone that's trying to find this bird.

Tamed tonight on Terokkar-US, 1:45 AM server time, (58,65) just north of Frenzyheart Hill.

Was out mining and looking for Loque, of course, but I've an eye for rare skins so I snagged her when NPC scan went off. Very pretty bird.
Note - first tame failed because she does a knockback/interrupt. I dropped an ice trap and completed no problem - worth noting esp. for lower level hunters trying to snag her.

The only thing I've heard is that when Aotona is killed or tamed king krush will spawn 4-6 hours later. That's the only link I know of regarding this pet. Hope that helps :)

Fallowynde의 댓글

The timers are not linked together in any way. I have personally borne witness to all three being up within moments of each other, on more than one occasion (thanks to a somewhat low-pop server), and Krush and Aotona up at the same time more than once as well. I can confirm the respawn window for her is approximately 12-15 hours though.

How about at lvl 85 hunters get 10 more slots?

I too enjoy seeking the rare and unique pets of Azeroth. In fact, that's why I came to the boards right now. So I'm doing my usual sweep through Sholazar, I deleted cache before starting the game. I come up on one of the spots that overlaps Loque & Krush, then start camping.

I'm fairly high up looking down, when I see something out of place. I go down to see, and it's Loque! No NPC alert? My NPC scan has never failed before, now I'm nervous.

Anyway, finally bagged him after about two months. Got the spirit bear last week (on quick flyby-no camp), Skoll is next.

Had to come back here and report... no need for me to be nervous about my NPC Scan, it works just fine. And my apologies, Skoll wasn't next.

When I tamed Loque, I hearthed out to show him off. I forgot my Oracle egg, so I went back. There are two rares left for me to bag in Sholazar, so I made another lap around for grins.

Boom goes the dynamite... KING KRUSH

So to summarize, *hand on Bible*:

Server time... 5:00am (+/- 10 min)
I was hovering where Loque overlaps Krush (NPC Overlay-highly recommended), had been there less than 10 minutes, saw something out of place on the ground, went down to see and was shocked, tamed Loque using freeze trap ez-pezi, my NPC Scan did NOT give an alert.

Server time... 7:00am (+/- 10 min) ON THE SAME DAY!
On my first lap around (no camping), NPC Scan hits, felt bold so tamed Krush the old fashioned way... just stand there and take it, ez-pezi.

I started putting in "serious" time camping both these coveted hunter pets about two months ago. Actually I would camp the overlap spots probably no more than 30 minutes at a time, then make a couple laps around. I tried to login every day to do this routine, and only missed a few days.

In these last 8 weeks I've never seen Loque. I've seen Krush only once, as another player was taming him. I felt lucky just to witness that, especially after reading many tales of camping hell in these forums.

So now I feel luckier than <insert clean joke here>

Update:
While getting my Oracle egg, picked up the dailies. On the way back to turn in the quests, NPC Scan dinged for Aotona. Started taming old fashioned way, but didn't know about the knock-back. So I froze it, then tamed ez-pezi.

To summarize again:
Tamed Loque, Krush, and Aotona within 4 hours, on the same day!

I am so so lucky. I was in a que for a battle ground, so I thought I go look for Loque'Nahak, I went over, and straight away, NPCscan goes off saying, Aotona! I was so shocked, and happy, and then tamed it thinking I was the luckiest. As I was taming Aotona, NPCscan goes off saying Loque'Nahak! lucky or what? ;D so I went to him and tamed him. Now I have an amazing MM pet (Aotona) and a awesome BM pet (Loque'Nahak) im so happy! (: -The trick is to search for him early in the morning or late at night when not many people are online ;) Loque'Nahak - 로크나하크 ~ Aotona - 아오토나

:D Ahh today is a good day! Yesterday I found and tamed King Krush while looking for Loque and today at 16:55 GMT+0 Alonsus, I found and tamed Aotona, also while looking for Loque!

I was casually scouting the spawn points of Loque and Aotona at the turn of every hour and about three hours into my search I get the horn blast and the red screen announcing that Aotona is in the area! Of course I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't Loque'nahak as like Krush Aotona has never been at the top of my tame list but I thought as it's so rare and unique i'd tame it :) Hopefully I'll one day find a Hyacinth Macaw to match my pet but I know how ridiculous a drop rate it has.

I found my Aotona just after checking Loque's spawn point next to Skyreach Pillar, Aotona's was near some snakes and the Mosslight pillar, just down from the ledge next to a big tree. 43.8, 74.8 co-ords. Funny I had just left a Loque spawn point when I found Krush too.

Oh but my luck didn't end there, just 40 mins ago I tamed Gondria on the first spawn point I checked!

Trained this guy on Nagrand with my 77 hunter at the Frenzyheart river. Not really hard to train, NPC Scan is a huge help searching rares tho, first day using it, and it immediately showed me i was passing Aotona. Easy to recognize as he is bigger than than a usual bird of prey mob.

Just captured this gorgeous bird of prey about 30 minutes ago.

It spawns in Sholazar Basin and

A person in my guild found it and summoned me there to tame it. It was a pretty simple tame, especially since he threw down an ice trap for me. Even without an ice trap it's straightforward (just target her and "Tame Beast" since Aotona doesn't bruise too badly.

Enjoy.

Shynai의 댓글

After me and a guildmate was clock rotating hunting for rare pets for my hunter on Northrend I came to a conclusion.
Killed and tamed are the same thing in this manner since it makes them return to respawn time, etc.

1. The number one and most important thing to remember,
There can only be 5 rare monsters alive at the same time in Northrend, (note: may exclude Vyragosa and TLPD)

2. Every rare monster has a supposed spawn timer of 12-24 hours. Lets say a rare beast like Arcturis was killed at
3 pm, he would respawn somewhere between 12-24 hours after that, BUT ONLY (refer to 1.) if there are less than
5 rare monsters alive in northrend. (note: may exclude Vyragosa and TLPD could be 48 hours or more)

3. XXX Found Aotona and Loque'nahak in the same zone at the same time , skip this partXXX
There will most likely to be only 1 rare monster alive in one zone at most, (has yet to be confirmed,
though everytime I found a rare, there was no other in the same zone at the time)

4. The spawn order is most likely to be most recently kill will be put last on the respawn order,
saying out of 20 monsters, only 5 can be alive,
so if you kill one, you have to kill atleast atleast 19 rares for the same rare monster to be spawned again.
(a bit confusing to understand but it means it will not be allowed to be spawned until those who was killed before it has spawned)

5. At 5 max rare spawn, after a rare monster has been killed,
it may take up to an hour for another rare monster to spawn in Northrend but they usually spawn within 10 minutes if available.

6. Last but not least, remember the respawn times for the rare monsters, if you've killed all rare monsters
then there is absolutely no reason zone around Northrend hoping for a rare spawn , you'd be wasting your hours camping.

If there is a specific monster you want, lets say a spirit beast, you first have to get rid of the current alive rare monsters in Northrend.
As an example, I was looking for Loque and Gondria for my 78 hunter, My guildmate started the search from Howling fjord and I started at
Icecrown.
King Ping found and eliminated.
Hildana the Deathstealer found and eliminated.
Skoll found but since he was above my hunters level, I whispered another hunter to get him.
Terror Spinner found and eliminated.
Arcturis was found but since I already had him on my hunter, I whispered the same hunter as previously mentioned so he could get another spirit beast.
----
5 spawns killed, we just continued and kept while continuing searching zones to find rare monsters.
----
Tukemuth found and eliminated.
Icehorn found and eliminated.
Seething Hate found and eliminated.
Vigdis the War maiden found and eliminated.

At this point I had been looking for rare monsters for only about 2-3 hours, but I decided to take a break for a few hours. but conluding I had killed these
monsters, the spirit beasts I was looking would soon to be up.
When we get back, both Loque and gondria is up, aswell as Aotona, so it was just for my hunter to go and pick them up.

This concludes my guide on hunting rare monsters in Northrend.
It may not be completely correct but is to most part.
YS, Kiyuu.

Is it just me, or does this bird look like the Hyacinth Macaw? For those that can't pay for it / don't want to grind the mobs, this could probably be a bigger replacement.

So, i had this theory about the rares in Scholozar...Twice now when i have been there i have had one spawn, and then ten minutes later, another one spawn. The first time it was King Krush, and then Loque'Nahak (my hunter was a very happy Worgen!) And just now, last night, Loque'Nahak and Aotona. So i am assuming, that if this is true, after you nab one of the three stick around for a bit and see if you can spot another. I have yet to officially test this theory, but it sounds like a good one. Also, they seem to spawn in a specific order. If Krush spawns, Loque'Nahak follows. If Loque'nahak spawns, Aotona will. And if Aotona spawns, Krush may. Only two will spawn within ten minutes of each other--there will probably NEVER be three in a row. If anyone can prove or disprove this theory, please do so.

I feel bad for my friend, I was in his group and was guarding him while he was taming this beauty. All of a sudden, a Gnome Warlock dismounts and sends his felboy after him... I had to make the horrible choice to give him the chieve, since Aotona would have died to that Gnome otherwise.

I FINALLY found Aotona tonight (2/18/2012) at 10:25 p.m. Central U.S. on the Sentinels server. I've been looking for her on and off again for 4 or 5 weeks, and tonight I was on a flight path that took me through Sholizar Basin heading towards Dragonblight and she popped up on my NPC scan. I started yelling, "There she is! I've got to land! Let me off, let me off!" I had to log out to ensure I would land in Sholizar, and then flew over to her. I found her by the Wolvar camp near the falls. Threw down a freezing trap and tamed her, and oh my gosh she is so lovely!

For those who use NPCScan released on December 16th 2011 (most current version as of now)...

Aotona, King Krush, and Loque'Nahak will NOT trigger an NPCScan alert. If you add them to NPCScan manually, using Northrend instead of Sholazar Basin, they will alert. I have requested Saiket, the addon's creator, to correct this in the next update (if there is one).

Information: Beautiful bird, been hunting her for days. No kicksnap or flying birdie front kicks and was easily tamed at 85. You don't require BM for this pet.

NOTE: She is extremely hard to find as most people just kill her, seen her body a few times /sadpanda.

Another sleepless night, 3rd of may turned out to be quite productive. At 04:49 NPCscan went bat$%^& crazy after my 4th(or 5th) lap in the Basin.

Flying on ground level right beneath me is Aotona. I'm in a state where I am kind of awake, and kind of sleeping as well. The well known horn from NPCscan jolts me like a bolt of lightning at precisely 04:49. I have never woken up so quickly.

The reason for my hunt was mainly Frostbitten. Lacking 3 mobs, one of these being Aotona, my new-found discovery was a big relief.

She spawned right south-east of the River's Heart (the lake in the middle). She was flying ground level. Loot was plate wrist + the bag.

Found today a little before 8 am on Tarren Mill server just below Frenzyheart Hill in the Wildgrowth Mangal at around 57/65. Just happened upon it while looking for shinies for Oracles. Pretty new pet.

Aotona, Aotona
Where could that parrot be?
I've killed every other rare
But that bird eludes me.

Loque'nahak and King Krush
Have been both tamed and slain
But no cracker brings me Polly
My efforts are in vain.

Dirkee dead, Skoll my pet
Gondria and Arcty too
King Ping squeals in Heaven now
But Ao, where are you?

I circle, camp and pray your name
Just give in and spawn!
And though I said, "an early night!"
I've stayed up until dawn.
(Again.)

I envision and fantasize now
Of skinning you feather by feather.
Make a nice little pillow of you
To stash under my wide nether.

Once that's done, I'll fry your flesh
Oh it'll be so delicious!
To feast on a purple evasive bird
With spawn time set to ridiculous!

Six more hours added to the clock...
I'm sorry for what I said!
Can you please just pop up now
So I can go to bed?

Wait, what's that? NPCScan?
HOW THE HELL HAVE YOU DIED?
I was right there a second ago!
Now are you happy? I cried!

Oh, that's it, I give up.
I am finally going to glitch.
But when I come back, six hours from now...

Oh, it's on, you b*tch.

I was camping the NW spwn are on 7/8 and logged in at 8:55 pm. Aotona was right above me..and pet was on defensive...before i could react ...my pet killed her. sad.

I just want to point out that Aotona can spawn quite far away from the water fall. I made the mistake of not scanning far enough away i found her on the edge of W on the word wildgrowth mangal on the map.
Also be aware when you begin to tame her she may knock you back! i was unprepared and got knocked into a snake XD so if you can contain your excitment and put a freeze trap down first itll make your job easier :P

I just killed this for the achievement on Frostmane EU.

When I saw it I immidiately started looking in /who for a hunter in the zone but I was the only one there. So I killed it with a tear in my eye knowing that a Hunter was probably looking for it earlier :/

This bird is not to be found on my NPScan list, and I cannot add her ID to it. Weird.

Silvansaria의 댓글

Been camping her for days (to tame) and Loque to kill...

Got Loque the other day - and tonight at 3am - I just got out of a Firelands raid - killed Raggy and ported over here to check on her and the first spawn spot I checked coming from Icecrown - she was there flying through.

I was sweating bullets though because as I landed I already had Skarr up so I had to dismiss him and grab her... The whole time I was thinking someone was gonna swoop in and kill her but alas... I got her :)

11-1pm (pst) tomorrow (or actually later today) is the timer of this tame - so check back at that time if you're reading this now...

I was just flying on my Hunter with the quest that takes you from Dalaran to Sholizar Basin and got my NPC Scan popup of this bird. And as I was allready bored with my old pets I just had to have this one. took me maybe 20 seconds to get back to where I saw her: gone! nowhere to be found, not even a corpse :(
according to the /who window, there was no one else in that zone either...

I got 5 spirit beats ( Loque, Ghostcrawler, Arcturis, Skoll, Banth'alos ) calling them '' Team Spirit ''

I got all Molten Front rares ( Skarr, Karkin and Dethilac ( Chromaggus and Terrorpene i added to this team ) calling them '' Bane's of Underworld ''

I know its lame -.-

Anyway now i'm gathering another team name : Ancient Kings of Jungle

So far i got ( Sambas, King Krush, Patrannache, Gib the Banana-Hoarder / Savage )

Well...i'm hoping to get Aotona but i lost all my hopes...and to be honest, after all these rares i found, i wouldnt think this bird troubles me so much :(

Tamed at 10:55 server on Emerald dream at 44.8, 69.4. The bird has a small pat area when spawned, is a relatively large bird and flies slightly above head level.

If someone were to collect tame and spawn times, it should really roughly follow a normal distribution because of the regularity of server resets and the peak times when people are hunting or killing rares. If that data were compiled from all realms and cross-referenced with spawn sites, we would begin to see a picture on the average of when and where these critters tend to spawn.

Get to work data geeks, and thank you in advance.

Arikia's Journal: The Hunt for Aotona.

I sit here in Sholazar Basin in the search of the bird "Aotona". The bird is sacred amongst the Oracles, and has been seen
a few times by travelers. It is highly sought after by hunters of all shapes and sizes wanting a Bird of Prey companion with stunning plumage, and if the rumors are to be believed, sharper than normal beak and talons. Though so far, none of them have found it

I set up camp in an area just west of Frenzyhart Hill, on a thick, low-lying branch. The Wolvar in the area haven't noticed me yet, though I did have to kill some of their sentries to ensure I can stay here undetected. I'm not here to get into a fight with the Wolvar's guards and their allies. Here, the days are long and hard. I would sit in my treetop retreat for hours on end, waiting. I even looked in the other areas of Sholazar where she had been sighted: North of Frenzyhart Hill, north of Rainspeaker Canopy, within Wildgrowth Mangal and in the areas directly east and north-east of The Mosslight Pillar. But there was no trace of the bird. No blue-purple feathers, an unusually large nest or claw marks in a tree. Nothing.

As my twelfth day came to an end, I was thinking of home. The raw Giraffe steak reminded me how much i missed the cooked food, the rain made me long for the inns, comfortable beds and the warm fires all over the great city. I felt as if I was enduring the humid days, and the cold, dark and wet nights for nothing. I have rose to countless challenges set for me, maybe I finally found the one that beat me? Had this whole tiresome venture been for nothing? The hunters back in Orgrimmar kept telling me it couldn't be done, maybe they were right? I fell into a uneasy sleep, curled up to ensure the cold, harsh rain doesn't get the better of me.

I was woken up in the early hours of the 13th day by deep "woosh" sounds. Perhaps tiredness (or the lack of a proper meal) was making me hear things. I settled back down, being grateful that the rain had ceased. Only to hear it again, coming from right under the branch I had made camp on. I looked down and I saw it: The huge, blue-purple wings of an enormous bird. My heart started racing, I had to get Aotona before someone kills it or tames it.

I took two knifes I found from dead Wolvar sentries, then holding them in my hands I dived from the branch and landed on Aotona's back, sticking the knifes where her wings joined her body to ensure wouldn't fly away. While it may have stopped her from flying far out of my reach, Aotona was able to fly close to the ground, and she was not happy. She did a somersault in the air, and I lost my grip on her when she turned upside down. Tearing out some of her feathers, I fell to the ground and landed on a small rock, which I hit with my spine. She swooped in, and went for my eyes. Blocking her beak with my left arm, (and discovering the rumors of her beak might be true), I used my right one to pull my bow out my bags. I grabbed the bow with both arms, my bloodied and tattered left one compromising my aim. My shot missed, and a gust of wind from the great bird's wings sent me flying back. It then became clear what I had to do: I armed a frost trap, and aimed it right in the birds path. It trapped it nicely, though it could move it's head, but it was not going to get away and I was not going to die trying to capture it.

I got up on my feet, and started to tame her. She was defiant, only wanting my blood, but I wasn't worried about that as long as she was in the trap, I was more worried about someone running in and killing her in the hopes of finding treasure. Thankfully, that didn't happen, and I successfully tamed her. I patched up her wounds, then took her on right arm, and headed on my way back to Orgrimmar, where I could look forward to the comforts that I took for granted until now. But of course, nothing is better than seeing the faces of fellow hunters, when I show them I caught the rarest and most sought-after bird in all of Azeroth.

Definitely part of phasing. NPC Scan popped, but when I landed it was gone. I had only the breadcrumb from Dalaran active.

Sarantha의 댓글

Definitely my favorite bird pet. The colorful yellow/green parrot from 1k Needles comes in 2nd, but I could never abandon Aotona since I doubt I would ever find her again now that cross-realm is implemented. She's always alive when I fly over (thanks to phasing) and then when I go to find her, she's either not there or dead. I'm so glad I got her when she first came out. Same with Loque. Loque is probably the hardest to find pet in all the zones right now.

CRZ confirmed issue!

I wanted to verify there were mapping issues with Blizz so people did not needlessly spend time spamming macros and check if there were NPCScan errors where there had just been an Aotona.

This is Game Master Torizgut. I hope this communique finds you in good spirits!

Thank you for contacting Blizzard Entertainment Customer Support regarding the Aotona NPC. I have had a chance to investigate this issue and can confirm it is an issue with CRZ or Cross Realm Zones. While on a flight path the mobs on other realms that cros with yours can sometimes be seen. When you reach the ground you are firmly in your realm and only see the NPC if it has spawned in your realm. I apologize for the confusion and frustration this might have caused.

Should you encounter any further complications, please let us know and we will be happy to further assist if needed.

Found her at 1:15AM as I was flying over the Rainspeaker Canopy spawn point (55,51)...

Since I already have previously tamed her - I immediately leaped off my mount and almost before I hit the ground - let an Arcane Shot blast out from my rifle and watched as the impact almost tore her body in half...

I stood there deciding to wait for some excited Hunter to come along thinking he/she could tame her but NO! ...aaahhh the disappointment in their eyes as they look down to see the rare spawn Aotona dead at my feet as my OTHER rare pet - Skarr - hungrily licked his lips in anticipation of a good meal...

....muwahahahahaha!

I finally caught this beautiful Girl. I caught her at (56, 66). There was a handful of hunters/ achievement hunters but I was victorious. I feel I saved a life from senseless death, lol. I actually had just come back from a Random and decided to circle around since others were actively on Loque. Now I just need him and Krush. BTW, I named her Passion.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting! ;)

Vonzai의 댓글

Trust me, the biggest threat of getting this pet is NOT other hunters trying to tame it. It's jerks.
2 times in the window of 24 hours that i've been camping this beautiful bird people has shown up during my tame and killed him even when i have him tagged to me.. Seriously I don't get why people do this =/ //Sadpanda

EDIT: Finally got her at the northern spawnpoint! (47,54) Almost missed her. Noone showed up and got her without a struggle :)

Going on my 4th day now camping this beautiful rare for my hunter I decided to start playing again. During my camping I've seen Loque pop three times and Krush pop once.

Still not giving up...yet

Update (40 minutes) later:
Literally just tamed her after posting this at 40, 59.

Good luck everyone.

Honestly, I don't like Aotona's colors, but other people like her, and I just spotted her at 8:10pm February 14, 2014.

On Dragonmaw/Akama server.

Y'all find it! I hope a happy hunter gets her.

Auberzz의 댓글

Man, I wasn't even looking for this bird when I flew by to check a Krush spawn point, when she popped up. I all of a sudden needed this bird more than anything in the world. It was gorgeous.

Just tamed her a minute ago, Dragonmaw/Mug'Thol/Akama. Found her at the most Northwest spawn. Her and Loque might be linked, as I saw him yesterday at 8pm, so roughly 12 hour spawn, and Loque according to my calculations was supposed to be up right as I found Aotona.

Heard she's excellent for PVP. I'll give her a go.

I'll have you know that my VERY jealous Loque refused to go in his stable, whom he popped out and started to attack the poor bird. Luckily, little Loquey only hits 2k, so he didn't viciously murder her. Passive, dismiss, tame, boom!

I've been looking at her with camera and she is stunningly gorgeous.

Just tamed this beauty west of the mosslight pillar. I wonder if she and Loque are connected. Not 20 minutes ago did I tame Loque.

She's a beauty.

Would like to add that we have official word from Jeremy Feasel/Muffinus that tamable beasties have gotten their respawn timer reduced since Cataclysm, which includes the beauties from Frostbitten, so hunters like myself need not wait as long anymore if we see them dead or engaged, so we can't tame them.
Here is the twitter conversation
Please, do not despair, my hunter kin. We will get them all, eventually :)

I was doing a daily quest when i came across Aotona at coordinates . Just SouthWest of the River's Heart. This NPC just drops what wowhead says it does. In the Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel, it dropped coins (the amount depends on your level), Frostweave Cloth x20 & Crystalized Air x4. There's really nothing great to get out of it unless you need the items.

Hello all,

I figured for this rare, I would post my server info- Oceanic-Saurfang. Now, I posted that because from my experience, Aotona always spawns (at least for me, as I frequent this place quite often) in the southwestern-most spawn point. I do not now the trends for other servers, but from my experience he is at least very noticeable when he spawns (large purple-blue birdy) and is very close to the ground. You can't miss him. :>

I cannot vouch for his current spawn timers (as I don't actively seek him now that I have his name for the achievement and as a hunter pet) but it seems to be around the same time frames as Krush and Loque, at about 8 hours (give or take one). In my experience he appears to be the more common of the Sholazar rares trio, as I have seen him WAY more times than I have his friends.

Happy hunting!

Great news for Hunters for Patch 7.0! Taming Aotona now grants achievement credit towards 냉혈한, allowing you to avoid the heartbreak of making a decision on whether or not to kill her for the achievement!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------PUBLIC UTILITY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I've found out that, not only taming Aotona or any of the beasts required for the Frostbitten achievement counts towards it, but it also counts for the whole party. I found this out while I (dwarf paladin) was helping my BFF (gnome hunter) tame Loque'Nahak. After she was done taming it, the achievement progress window popped for me as if I had killed Loque'Nahak. Which means there is no reason at all to actually kill any of these gorgeous beasts if a hunter is currently seeking to tame them - you can just invite the hunter so that they can tame the beast and both of you get credit for it.Or, if you have a hunter alt, you might as well tame them instead of killing them, as the achievement progress is account wide.

Spread some love today!

This was the last rare I wanted to complete my collection. I never camped her in the past because I like the model, but I wasn't in love with it.
Now that so much time has past I thought it would be easy to get. But then there's CRZ and everyone with the same idea. So I server hopped to low pop realm and found her early morning before reset. Hooray!

Despite being 66 and Aotona being 68, I was still able to tame him. I've experimented and seems level does not matter so long as you're at least within 2 levels of them.

Not sure if it spawned there, but found him at 47,55. Rarescanner alerted as I flying over to check out a King Krush spawn location. Time was 8:35 server time, Echo Isles. And, yes, it counted toward the Frostbitten Achievement.

Just tamed her! Found her at 40, 59 right near where Monte Muzzleshot is hanging in the tree. I will say i was already near this location and my RareFinder addon notified me after taming so they are slightly delayed.

Very lucky to get him and Loque'Nahak all within 2 minutes of each other!

I found them really close to the Frenzyheart Wolvar at 8:00 PM on Garrosh. I was honestly prepared to wait quite a while, though. Still, shot out to the devs that had a heart because ever since Legion, they (among others) count for Frostbitten when tamed.

just a note for those lower levels. You must be level 20 to tame.

This comment may be lost in the ether of the future, but don't try to tame it if you're doing the questline where you are the pup's slave. He'll keep attacking it and messing it up.

Hey Hunters, I found this dude today in the wild thicket, I will say I did feel aweful killing it for Frostbitten and really I am sorry to players looking to obtain it as a pet.
I really hope you get it some day.

Just found and killed Aotona in Wildgrowth Mangal. It was north of Skyreach Pillar across the little dirt road next to the 2 little ponds. The bird was much lower than I thought it would be flying. Not a problem for someone on the ground to attack at all.
