How to get it

It drops from Dreaming Whelp in Swamp of Sorrows. In the loot data of Wowhead it drops in about 0.2% of kills.

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.
