In short

Item	Dark Whelpling
Source	Drop: Scalding Whelp (and 1 more)
Where	Badlands and Dustwallow Marsh
Drop chance	0.1%
New in Forever	no, from Classic
Account-wide	yes, according to Wowhead

How to get it

It drops from several monsters. These have the best chance in the loot data of Wowhead:

• Scalding Whelp in Badlands, about 0.1%
• Searing Whelp in Dustwallow Marsh, about 0.1%

What changed since Classic

The item now teaches the pet: it becomes a spell and no longer takes a spot in your bags. Summoning it is instant instead of a 1 second cast, with a cooldown of 1.5 seconds.

Wowhead’s database marks the pet as account-wide: learned once, it would be there for every character. Blizzard has not confirmed that itself.
