Changes: Feral Charge

Dark Whelpling

Dark Whelpling summons and dismisses Dark Whelping, a dragon whelpling companion that follows you around, meaning it is a non-combat pet and will not aid you in battle.

Source

Dark Whelpling drops from Scalding Whelps in the Badlands and from Searing Whelps in the Dustwallow Marsh. The Badlands is the place of choice as the Dustwallow Marsh whelps are mixed in with a lot of other mobs that don't drop the pet. On the flip side, you will probably be dealing with more competition at the Badlands on more populated servers.

Notes

The drop rate of this pet is 0.1% (one in every thousand kills)^[1] and takes an incredible amount of patience and determination in order to get one. Due to the difficulty of obtaining one, and thus their rarity, they can sell for fairly large amounts of gold on the Auction House, at least as far as pets are concerned. The table below shows the cumulative probability of getting at least one after a number of kills.

Probability of at least one drop in X kills
Number of Kills	100	288	401	693	1386	2302	2995	4603	9206
Cumulative Probability	9.5%	25%	33%	50%	75%	90%	95%	99%	99.99%
Neither the drop rate nor cumulative probability increases based on the number of monsters you have already killed.

Orb of the Blackwhelp

Darkwhelp — A player in Blackwhelp Form.

In-game, players who finish part of a chain quest ( [Meeting Note]) can purchase a single [Orb of the Blackwhelp] until used up of its 4 charges. These orbs allow the player to transform himself into a larger black whelp. When a player uses [Noggenfogger Elixir] in this form, they can do a "mini-me" with their pet [Dark Whelpling]. Though this form is broken through combat or even falling, players like to use this item to "mess around".

Black Drake

Lore wise, when a whelpling grows, it will be a full size drake. Black Drake would be the model of an adult dark whelping. They are also available to be rode upon via [Reins of the Black Drake].

-== Notes ==
-* This ability is very useful for soloing, or for trying to stop fleeing enemies.
-* As of patch 2.3.0, it is possible for the interrupt and root effects from this ability to be resisted separately.
-== Tips and Tactics ==
-* Stops a caster from casting any spells for 4 seconds.  Very useful in PvP vs. Mages and Priests.
-* Unlike [[Entangling Roots]] or [[Frost Nova]], Feral Charge is a physical effect, meaning it cannot be dispelled by priests or paladins. A character with [[Paladin#Blessings|Blessing of Freedom]] is still immune to the root effect.
-* Feral Charge in its entirety is reflected by mobs with magic reflection and grounded by Shaman grounding totems.
-* Can be used when airborne, as an effective countermeasure to knockback attacks or to prevent falling damage if timed correctly.
-*In TBC, you can just morph into flight form, go above the enemy, turn back into bear and feral charge when in range: you take no falling damage and enemy does not expect you. Affectionately known as "Rawrbomb".
-*In [[Karazhan]] against [[Shade of Aran]], Feral Charge will interrupt Aran's spells, giving the raid one more viable interrupt to the pool
