We covered a number of rare spawns in
Beyond Bloody Rare: A Guide to Rares
last year, but we found even more fun ones we wanted to share with you!
While some rares drop a random assortment of greens, a fair amount have specific loot associated with them--some for transmog, some just for status or bank alts. Rares have a ton of personality with their unique models and names, usually after pop-culture references, so it's fun when their loot has some humor as well. We scanned all the rares in the database to see which ones had anything notable!
In this guide, we've provided mouseover images of the rares, maps, and links to any unique loot drops.
In the previous guide, we covered: rares for achievements, hunter tames, notably-named ones from classic instances and zones, and Cataclysm rares.
A note on droprates: many of these mobs had their levels and loot tables adjusted in Cataclysm. Drops that were nearly guaranteed from mobs are now extremely rare. If the loot's been rescaled for Cataclysm though to match a mob's new level, chances are it still exists in game--as several users have reported. If an item's level doesn't match a mob's level at all, it's probably been removed from the loot table unfortunately, like for
Epée chromatique
--but it can still be found on the AH.
Many rare mobs in starting zones drop BoE bags, like
"Pokey" Thornmantle
. These bags aren't great, but they're BoE and a good way to get fresh characters started.
An additional group of rare mobs drops "Imbued" gear, items added in Cataclysm that are green, and therefore moggable, versions of identical older common-quality drops. Together these greens form the following sets:

We covered interesting rares from instances before in
Beyond Bloody Rare
:
Monastère Écarlate
(Graveyard)
The Graveyard Wing has three rare spawns that can drop some great twink gear. If you don't see them upon reaching the Graveyard, kill straggler mobs which can force them to spawn. These rares can spawn by the two small tombs on the left and right of the main path, as well as inside the main tomb.
Azshir the Sleepless
, an ethereal human rogue with an eyepatch, strangely drops great caster gear that can't be replaced with heirlooms:
Jambières flétries
,
Talisman d'éclat fantôme
, and
Baguette nécrotique
.
Fallen Champion
, an undead warrior in red plate gear, drops rares that are less useful if you have heirlooms:
Cestes d'ébène
,
Aube morbide
, and
Voile embaumé
.
Ironspine
, a Scourge fighter, dropped rares that were nerfed in Cataclysm to prevent modifying them with high-level enchants:
Thorax d'échine-de-fer
,
Poing d'échine-de-fer
, and
Oeil d'échine-de-fer
.
Kraal de Tranchebauge
Blind Hunter
is a rare tamable white bat located pretty far into the instance--having a priest use
Vision télépathique
will save a lot of time. He also drops a good neck for twinks:
Amulette stygienne en os
.
Earthcaller Halmgar
spawns near
Seigneur Brusquebroche
. It drops
Coiffure de Murmevent
which used to be a great twink helm until the requirements were changed to level 30. If you don't have heirlooms though, it's still a nice-looking helm.
While not an elite,
Razorfen Spearhide
is a rare mob that drops
Perce-armure
, another item that used to be great for twinks until the level requirement was upped.

From
Beyond Bloody Rare
:
Hache-Tripes
Tsu'zee
is another reference to Siouxsie and the Banshees, located among the ghosts in Dire Maul West. She drops a few items for casters, most notably
Chausses élimées
which is how your armor feels after a bad PuG. She spawns near
Magistère Kalendris
, who tailors might be farming for
Patron : Grand sac d'enchantement
.
Maraudon
Meshlok the Harvester
, an elemental near Poison Falls, drops
Chapel d'efflorescence
which used to be a great twink item until the stats were reallocated. Also drops a nice chest and cape that can be replaced with heirlooms now.
Stratholme
One of everyone's favorite rares,
Hearthsinger Forresten
is a cheerful minstrel whose personality shines through even in undeath. You'll find him by entering
Stratholme
from the Living side, looking for his three spawn points in Festival Lane or Market Row. His most famous item is the
Piccolo des feux ardents
, a trinket that causes everyone nearby to break out into dance, but his other items are funny too: the skimpy
Jambières du ménestrel
, neon
Ceinturon arc-en-ciel
, and unluckily-itemized
Chemisette de l'oiseau chanteur
, also notable for being a piece of armor that resembles a tailoring shirt.
Skul
, located by Fras Siabi and Festival Lane, is an angry undead with several items named after him:
Toucher fantomatique de Krân
,
Griffes d'osselets de Krân
, and
Étreinte glaciale de Krân
.
Stonespine
, which flies around undead Strat, is a bat who prides himself on the above-average
Cape de la gargouille peau-de-pierre
, which served as the inspiration for
Cape de gargouille peau de pierre usée
. Unfortunately, this comment is not longer than the average article descriptions.
Zul’Farrak
Dustwraith
, a troll rogue, can spawn near most any boss. His signature item is the off-hand
Canne du marcheur du désert
, which is not just any off-hand. It's absurdly large and unlike other offhands, does not vanish outside of combat; it remains on your back.
Sandarr Dunereaver
spawns to the south of
Gahz'rilla
. It's a fairly common spawn (50% of the time) and can drop all the blues that were formerly extremely rare zone-drops--making them fairly easy to farm for some extra gold. They are:
Canne de féticheur
,
Fouette-méninges
,
Trucideur
,
Le Minotaure
,
Cape en métal noir
,
Scalpel de saigneur
,
Incinérateur flamboyant
, the awesome-looking
Protecteur troll
,
Arrache-yeux
,
Anneau runique
, and the troll-themed
Jambières des horions
.
Zerillis
, located towards the entrance, is a rare I always hoped to find in vanilla for his awesome
Guêtres de traqueuse des sables
.

Notable rare spawns in
Blackrock Mountain.
:
Profondeurs de Rochenoire
Panzor the Invincible
, a golem whose name means 'tank,' spawns in the Mold Foundry before the seven dwarves. He drops a decent shield for the level:
Rempart du golem de roche
.
Pic Rochenoire
Bannok Grimaxe
is located in the lower-most part of LBRS, normally right before the spider gauntlet. A level 85 can take shortcuts to jump down easily, aggroing all the mobs and dying quickly if he isn't up. He drops the coveted
Plans : Faucheuse en arcanite
and a few neat blues like
Fourche démoniaque
.
Burning Felguard
is a felguard every warlock wishes they could own. He drops
Lame de phase
and
Gants en peau de démon
but the real fun is enslaving him--great for impressing your PuG group. To access this mob, let the
Démoniste du Bouclier balafré
cast
Portail du Bouclier balafré
. Mostly, these will be imps but occasionally the felguard will spawn every 5 minutes or so. It's got great AoE with
Vague explosive
and
Coup de tonnerre
.
Crystal Fang
, a relation of
Matriarche Couveuse
, is located in the Skitterweb Tunnels. He drops
Mantelet du prophète démembré
, the basis for
Mantelet du prophète démembré exquis
, and
Croc de l'araignée de cristal
, the matching weapon to
Crache-venin
.
Ghok Bashguud
is good at bashing in skulls, if
Pilonneur de Hurd
and
Bounnebaffeur
are any indication. He's located at the top of the ramp next to Halcyon's Den and likes to lay down on the assorted floormats.
Everyone used to be excited when
Jed Runewatcher
spawned, but sadly his rares are obsolete thanks to heirlooms--
Pipeau de bruyère
was a powerful caster trinket in vanilla.
Ecrâneuse serpentine
is still a great option for leveling casters. He's located in the main hall after The Rookery, immediately before you jump down to fight in the Hall of Blackhand.
Quartermaster Zigris
is marked as a rare, but he's always up which is great since he drops a lot of neat things:
Caisse de worg
,
Dessin : Crabe de diamant noir
,
Plans : Annihilateur
. He's located in The Storehouse in Dragonspire Hall.
Spirestone Battle Lord
is a commonly-spawning rare in Mok'doom that drops the sadistic-looking oversized razor
Tranchoir rochenoire
.
Spirestone Butcher
patrols the corridor to Mok'doom. He rarely drops
Transperçante
, an jagged axe with a neat proc that stacked with Sunder Armor.
Spirestone Lord Magus
spawns in Mok'doom and drops his signature glowing offhand with flavor text,
Globe de D'sak
, as well as some other loot for casters.

In Burning Crusade, Blizzard rewarded players who liked finding rare spawns by making achievements for just that! We've got a list of all the mobs and their locations for
Sacrément rare
right
here
.
Each mob dropped a BoE named after them, with random stats and armor type. Many of them look like some BoE greens, but there's some more stylish ones that will sell better on the AH.
For example,
Collidus le Guetteur-Dimensionnel
in Shadowmoon Valley is a giant eyeball that aptly drops neon eyepatches. Unlike many engineering-only goggles, these can be worn by all players:
Oeil de spectacteur embrasé
,
Oeil de spectacteur en émeraude
,
Oeil de spectacteur en améthyste
,
Oeil de spectateur cramoisi
.
We've covered the locations of the all mobs needed for
Froid mordant
in
Beyond Bloody Rare
.
All of the rares for the achievement drop
Sacoche d'aventurier abandonnée
, which contains
Étoffe de tisse-givre
, crystallized elements, and a rare BoE. Many of these rares are reskinned version of BC dungeon drops (great if you don't want to farm an instance for transmog), but there are a few distinctive ones.
King Ping
in Howling Fjord drops
Couverture chauffe-œuf
, a mix of the top half of
Vêtements bénis
and skirt version of
Chausses bénies
. He also has the awesome-sounding ability
Chute sur le ventre
.
Vyragosa
in Storm Peaks drops
Heaume azur en cuir de dragon
, a blue version of
Capuche de Reflet-de-Lune
.
Lookalike gear that matches
Assassination Armor
:
Coussin de Larmagauche
from
Fumblub Gearwind
with
Mitrailleuse
and
Jambières de Syreian
from
Syreian the Bonecarver
.
In addition to that achievement, you'll want to farm the
Time-Lost Proto Drake
in Storm Peaks for
Rênes de proto-drake perdu dans le temps
.
There are no achievements for killing rare-spawns in Cataclysm, but some still give very nice rewards. We've covered all the Catclysm rares and their rewards
here
, but here's some highlights:
Deepholm
:
Aeonaxx
drops the mount
Rênes de drake de pierre phosphorescent
.
Jadefang
can both be tamed and also drops
Minuscule araignée de schiste
.
Vash'jir
:
Poseidus
drops the underwater mount
Rênes de Poséidus
.
Lady La-La
, wearing
Bésicles Gnomes à rayons-X
and casting
Romance saumâtre
, drops
Carapace chantante de dame La-La
.
Burgy Blackheart
is a ghostly gnome who drops
Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat
that any level players can equip.
Hyjal
A ton of hunter rares were added in 4.2 to both Hyjal and the
Molten Front
. They're spiders, owls, and spectral cats that require unique ways to tame them!
Twilight Highlands
Julak-Doom
looks rather strange with tentacles stuck on his head--he drops
Bec vitré de Julak-Dram
.
Sambas
is a hunter tame that looks like Simba from
The Lion King
as well as
Rênes du roi doré
.
Uldum
Armagedillo
drops the ornate
Queue d'Armaglyptodon
.
If you get lucky with
Figurine de dromadaire mystérieuse
, you'll end with the
Rênes de dromadaire gris
.
