Portent

Portent (Emerald)
Portent (Cobalt, aaah isn't he pretty!)

Portent (Ruby)

Portent (Violet)



Portent spawns just like Madexx, in one of four random colours, but he is not a colour changer.
He travels from the very western wall through the entire zone and ends north-west of Mogushan Palace. My map is based on a map done by TheDoomcookie (Petopia Forums), as he goes into phasing when you haven't unlocked the August Celestial dailies.

Portent's tracks are now spawning correctly, no need to follow them backwards anymore!

Stompy

Stompy
Stompy is a unique skinned blue goat that can be found around Mount Neverest. It seems to have more than one possible patrol paths, I could find it  near Shado-Pan Monastery in Kun Lai Summit patrols from Winter's Blossom to near the summit of Mount Neverest (through the falling ice and icy windy tornadoes and all!).

Savage




Savage is a unique skinned white tiger with blue eyes that patrols around the area between Sri La Village and The Arboretum and all the way from east to west.

Lith'ik the Stalker

Lith'ik the Stalker
I forgot about this guy. Probably because the screenshot isn't great and I said to myself I'd write the post when I have a better one. Well, maybe some other time.

Lith'ik patrols with two guards that attack if he's pulled. You can find him around the base of Sik'vess Tree in Townlong Steppes. Like all Townlong Steppes rare champions, he doesn't have any loot apart of the sack of gems that doesn't open (yet).

Race: Mantid


Krax'ik

Krax'ik
No wonder it took a while to find this guy! He's stealthed! While me and others were wondering how a mantid could find into Jade Forest, we didn't think of looking in the most reasonable place: the area of Jade Forest that borders on Valley of the Four Winds. This mantid must be quite the scout!

He watches down onto Jade Forest from a small cliff, west of the bridge that links the Valley to Jade Forest, north of Nectarbreeze Orchard. Lethal as the mantid champions tend to be.

Race: Mantid

Drops: Needlefang Throatripper, Gan Shi Warlord Legguards

The rare hunter pet riddle


The tamable beast riddle of the Beta.

Edit: 

I'll keep my hunter pet page updated. You'll find it at the top of this blog, or by clicking here. The riddle is being solved as I type this. Thanks to dedicated hunters on the Petopia forums. First ones to mention are Loki, Sensionn (I believe I met you on Mekkatorque last night looking for the quilen :D, Kalliope, The Doomcookie, Quivering... )


Where are all the rare hunter pets on the Beta? The white tiger with the blue eyes, the new spirit beasts...

Well. Apparently, they are there on the beta. But you have to find them.


Alright, so I have been permission to tell you all a few things about the rares in Mists of Pandaria.

Right now, they're in beta, but there are two things you need to know:

You will only see them on your hunter
You will not actually see them, but your hunter skills will allow you to detect traces

So basically, we have to figure out how to find these rares to tame them.

The Doomcookie, Petopia forums.



Personally, spells that are inherent to hunters are Track Hidden, Beast Lore and Flare.
Druids have Glyph of the Predator so they can track pets aswell. But where do we get started looking?

I think this is a great idea. It stops the killing of tamable beasts because of their silver dragon around the portrait, and encourages hunters to actively go looking for them in a new and exciting way.


So, where might the Xuen spirit tiger be hiding out?

Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent

As of the beta version [15913], I noticed that my Thundering Jade Cloud Serpent icon was missing from my sidebar. I went to check the Mount Journal and lo - Underneath the entry for the T. Jade Cloudserpent, there was the new Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent, implemented this patch!

Alani drop?


Do you see the resemblance to Alani?

Alani


However, you can't mount it unless you are exalted with the Order of the Cloud Serpent. I won't be gringing any rep in the Beta yet, but it looks very likely that Alani may in fact be the carrier of this pretty mount.
