Curse of Ula'tek Pet Collection Guide
Every known Patch 12.1 pet, including confirmed steps and locations for the secret J'imothy raccoon.
Patch 12.1 adds roughly 40 pets across wild captures, vendors, quests, drops, achievements, and secrets. This guide covers the confirmed sources and practical requirements, including the now-solved J'imothy secret in Silvermoon City.
What's New for Pet Collecting
Midnight largely sunsetted development of the classic Pet Battle system. New wild pets are captured by clicking them rather than battling, and many new additions are Peaceful Pets without battle abilities. Older Pet Battle content remains available.
- Patch 12.1 adds roughly 40 pets, including the secret J'imothy raccoon.
- Family Battler of Cataclysm and Family Battler of Outland are new retroactive achievements with pet rewards.
- Wild captures use a new capture icon and animation.
- Companion pets can be displayed in player housing through Pet Beds.
Wild-Caught Pets
Rare quality now reflects scarcity and longer respawns rather than harder capture battles. Complete nearby campaign quests if a listed pet is missing, because quest phasing can hide some spawns.

Secret Pets
J'imothy
J'imothy is now obtainable from an Ensorcelled Cryptid hidden in Silvermoon City. The prison can appear at any of the three currently confirmed coordinates, so use the target macro while checking each location.
Find the Ensorcelled Cryptid
Check /way #2393 28.75 46.69, /way #2393 51.32 53.75, and /way #2393 58.30 41.90. The macro /tar Ensorcelled Cryptid helps identify it nearby.Drain the arcane barrier
Interact with the prison and dodge the Arcane attacks while the barrier's 100 stacks are removed. It is possible solo, but multiple players finish the channel faster.Claim the Stubby Whistle
When the barrier reaches zero, interact with J'imothy and collect the Stubby Whistle. J'imothy remains available for about one minute after being freed.
Slitherfang
Slitherfang is found in Mythic Altar of Fangs and requires a five-player group. Before the first boss, four players collect Reversal Charms and one player collects the Ritual Reagent under the waterfalls. After defeating the first two bosses, clear the room without clicking the totems. The Ritual Reagent holder targets the snake and uses the extra-action button, then the four Reversal Charm holders do the same.
