Respawns within 3-4 minutes, and it's not tameable by hunters.

Commento di 11589

This pet was tameable, but was hotfixed very quickly.

Commento di 74335

Drops The Kurken's Hide for the quest The Kurken is Lurkin'

Note: Despite being a beast, he is not skinnable

Commento di 148525

Is he inside or outside?

Commento di Benegesserit

This could be one of the tamable "exotic" species with the new 51-pt talent for hunters in WotLK.

Commento di 178309

This thing looks nasty but goes down real easy. Don't worry unless you're underleveled.

Commento di 70501

This creature is tamable with Patch 3.0.2 and is considered an 'Exotic' pet.

Commento di 164799

Wewt planned to be tameable in wotlk i know what pet im gonna use :D

Commento di Sunwind

rerolling hunter just for this.

let's hope they don't nerf it before wtlk pre-patch

Commento di blaket77

If you are Horde can you get to this island so you can tame one of these?

Commento di ShadowFever

You can now tame this pet as a part in the Core Hound family in the PTRs or the Wrath of the Lich King beta as of now. This pet can only be tamed as Beast Mastery as it is part of the Exotic Pets classification. You can also find this mob at Azuremyst Isle, in the Stillpine Hold.

Man I have to get this guy. It'll be interresting, since I'm horde.

Commento di 56470

No one thought to mention that its in the cave...
Entrance at the Stillpine Hold

Commento di 166425

just for all you horde hunters out there. to get to the cave youll need to catch a boat at Auberdine. Just run in with ur mount and when u reach the very end of the dock feign death. the boat u want is at the very end. from there just run north till u see a cave and a base with those bear humaniods (cant remember wat there called).
this guys isnt as big as big as u would think about the same hight as a orc. but fortunetly he is the same hieght as the rest of the corehounds.

furbolgs i assume

Commento di 130895

The poor puppy will be heavily farmed the next few days....
You can also expect pvp battles of 10 hunters vs 10 hunters on the island...

Commento di Cthulhuftagn

The best way I found to do this is as was suggested, (thank you Mcslashed) to go under the dock in darkshore (unequip all your items first) drown, run back stand on the very edge of the dock, when the boat arrives, walk onto it, stand by the first pole you come to, (on the side that has the stairs going upt ot the wheel) you will be just out of aggro range of hte lvl 65's by there, wait till the boat starts to pull away, rez and enjoy. Even if by some freak of nature they DO attack you , chances are you will live long enough for the screen to cut out and drop you off in azuremyst.

Keep in mind though, if you do manage to avoid being flagged and ganked on the boat, you are in for a treat when you get to the cave, all the furbolgs outside are alliance pvp flagged, so stepping foot in the cave at all (unless stealthed) makes you a potential alliance chew toy,

Other than that, Enjoy the cool looking pet~!

Commento di 133751

I got this little kitten this night, eventually at 2:15 am nobody was stalking him. The tip for the boat was a HUGE save of time, i was about to take another one.
One other thing i would suggest to do is to be very careful of wich path do you take to Silverpine Hold, try not to pass too close to the Exodar, guards are Lvl 75 (as of patch 3.02? were they 75 even before the patch?) with fairly wide aggro radius.
Other than this, sneaking into the cave is no big deal if you're high leveled, just climb a bit the hill and get down directly into the entrance, no fight with furbolg, no "Silverpine Hold is Being Attacked".

Nice pet, i would expect some more damage output but i guess this lack is due to the 5 level gap between me and Kitty..i tamed a devilsaur too, just to be sure...

Commento di 102000

got mine today. yeah feel bad for horde having to mission it so far, but i guess it only adds to the satisfaction of having him :)

Just thought i'd add. IMO kurken is far better than the green fire core hounds because he doesn't spread the crazy amount of green slime/mist everywhere only a less amount of white mist.

Commento di 39258

Hmm exotic pets. It sucks that only BM can use this pet.. Give similar to the other 2 spec´s=D

Commento di 173187

I am testing out the new exotic pets and i really like this one. the only thing that i see as a problem is the lava breath ability. currently, if you tell this pet to attack an enemy that is more than 30 yards away, it will move forward, pause, then move forward again until it gets close enough to use the lava breath. this can be annoying if you are using dash at the same time. so it might be good to turn off dash or hope they fix this soon.

Commento di 166662

This is one of my favorite exotics other than the Devilsaur. When I went to the cave that he is located in, there were other ppl waiting to get theirs, too. lol What's funny is that it wasn't even a situation where every single person would fight over it; we just formed a line... :P

Commento di 238103

why cant i tame this beast as everytime i try it says in not tameable but it is is it cos im lvl 68 or something ne1 help me with his as i would lik to hav this as my pet but some reason its not going that way

Commento di Krimzin

Just Tamed it, so yes, 100% tameable. There was noone there on Alleria.
Great Pet. Ive got a White Boxer in RL, so I had to have this guy.

Commento di 241845

Lvl 60 Horde Hunter here and I just tamed this guy last night. As others have stated, just head to Darkshore and take the boat at the very end of the dock at the Alliance town of Aberdine to Azuremyst Isle. You will draw aggro but just out run them and hop on the boat. I stayed in the middle of the boat and I didn't draw aggro whatsoever. When you get to Azuremyst isle, simply head to the middle of the island and then head north. There will be a camp of Furbolgs there with a cave. They are all extremely low level so don't even worry about drawing aggro. Just head into the cave and Kurken is waiting for you at the back of it.

I thought this was going to be really hard but it's not. Couple things that helped, I went very late at night on the server so there was no alliance players around. Other thing to do is to bring a throw away pet just in case you run into a pvp situation or if you need to battle the guards. If you do draw aggro from the guards, in many cases, just feign death and you'll be good to go.

He is absolutely awesome looking and does glow white. I think he's much better looking than all of the green, acid dripping corehounds other hunters are running around with.

Good Luck!

Commento di 266216

I always see hunters with two headed dogs. I was wondering which monster that these were tamed from. Is it The Kurken, Omen or the Vision of the Kurken?

Commento di 267194

I agree coolest pet in game, im planning on taming it when my hunter hits 60 in BM spec

Commento di 243362

Blizzard really should use this model alot more. It looks sooo badass.

Commento di 231197

Ok so the Kurken is a really good pet because not only does he tear things limb from limb he is also bulletproof, all you really have to do is keep the mending up. The Kurken is an amazing pet so when your around 60ish you can board the DS boat and head to azuremist, make your way north till you hit an alliance furbolg village, go into the cave and head to the back and there is your awesome new pet.

Commento di 306813

awh, my dream is ruined :( tought it could be tamed in low lvl too.

Commento di 313404

oh wait could a danei alliance hunter tame it?

Commento di 265252

Just picked this guy up now I have the full set. :) One question I do have is if it is better to tame the boss versions of the corehounds. Do some of those immunities and such transfer over in some way?

Commento di 314781

Hello.
If you ask me, then Kurken (core hound) is way better than cat.
Both heads dmg and it hit harder with each hit.
along with the roaring and glowing it got it's an awesome pet.
I'm using this, i will keep using it.

Tamed him a week ago and i am most pleased.

Commento di 144342

Tameabel when lvl 60 BM speced.

Commento di salesman259

ok umm...what do u need to be or have to tame this pet....BESIDES BEING A HUNTER....

Commento di 324343

Oh you need to have "exotic". You can find it all the way at the bottom of your "Beast Mastery" tab in you talents page.

Commento di 310456

I know that if you turn BM, tame this beast and then re-spec to your old spec you will lose the ability to tame exotic pets, but will you lose this pet if you keep it in the stables or have it with you?

Commento di 326191

I CANT TAME IT :'(

Commento di Syneur

Ok... just thought I would post this so others can avoid making the noob mistake I did.

Respecc... make sure that your talent points are added up so that Beast Mastery is included.

If all your talent points are in BM then Zipping through Auberdine shouldn't be an issue (take one or two and put them in pathfinding), Neither is tanking the Guards, Especially if you went to Outland at 58 and have the better gear.

No crew from the boat attacked me. On and off No problems. Both times

I also did this early am monday morning... so no Players on the Island.

Fun Pet, he rips face, I highly recommend Kurken the gurken.

Commento di tubago

If you're horde make sure you get the right boat v_v 1st attempt: i got to Teldrassil, not a big worry since i could just get back; 2nd attempt ended up in Stormwind: no need to say i got stabbed in 3 seconds (i was lvl 67 at that time) =p. Had to spirit ress and HS back and repeat. After that had to wait like 30 mins after taming him to get my HS CD finished =p Helped a Draenei Paladin on a few quests on the meanwhile!

Commento di 319932

just got this puppy after hitting level 60, was easier than i expected. did what other people suggested- mounted up, ran through the elf inn to the end of the dock (just run straight ahead unless you want to end up in SW or teldrassil) and feigned death to drop guard aggro (only level 40s). stayed in the middle of the boat, no aggro, no problems. somehow one of the furblogs in front of the cave flagged me, even though i didn't attack him, but it wasn't a problem. the whole time i ran into only one alliance, a level 14 draenei, and this was a saturday morning.

from the back he looks a bit like Spike from Tom & Jerry.

Commento di 265323

just tamed this beauty on mah lvl 60 dwarf hunter, and it's great! but they have removed the trembling it makes when it walks:(

Commento di yeeman

so the only way i can tame this pet is that i have to reach lvl 60?

Commento di 287376

I named my corehound Cerberus :)

Commento di 438935

Hey Guys. I have just started a NE Hunter. he is lvl 10 (just high enough to get a pet)
I have done all of the pet tutorials so i can get a pet.
i cant seem to get The Kurken as a pet at my lvl.
are there any special qualifications or skills that i need to get this pet?

Commento di 444495

I saw this very nice core hound just not to long ago, but I could not tame this beast because until like lvl 60 or so, until you get your beast mastery all the way up to the end.

Commento di 381224

As a horde player, you'll have to get pass much guards and stuff to get on the boat from auberdine to Azuremyst, but I guess that won't be much of a problem since you'll only go tame him at 60+ or so (correct me if I'm wrong), Was pretty hard when I went Bloodmyst with my lvl 20 troll just to tame one of their Ravagers.
A very cool pet, indeed, GL.

Edit: Replaced 75+ with 65+ ^^|| Replaced 65+ with 60+ :O

Commento di 138535

Easiest way I found to get this pet as Horde is through the faction change option! LOL! I just transferred by dusty ally hunter to horde and didn't even remember I had this guy tamed. Walking around Org got me a lot of comments as it's not very popular at all on the Horde side.

Commento di 456623

As a orc hunter this is how I got this guy: I swam out under the dock and drowned myself. In spirit form I ran back and got on the boat in the middle and resurrected. The mobs on the boat paid no attention to me. when I arrived in Azuremyst Ile I jumped off the boat and swam to shore. I used track humanoids to ovoid any other characters (all mobs I think as I did this at 5am). When I arrived at the furblolg camp I ran wide open into the camp on my swift wolf until I auto dismounted. As far as I could tell they did not agro at all, though I was not looking back. The cave itself is full of owl beasts. They were so low level that they ignored me. I made my way to the back of the cave, tamed him, and hearthed home with no problems what so ever ;)

Commento di 263779

53 comments and I cant believe nobody posted about the reference to The Kurgen, the bad guy from the original Highlander movie.

Commento di 77279

If you are heading to Azuremyst Isle, they've added road signs in the middle of the Auberdine docks, pointing out the correct docks for Stormwind, Azuremyst, and Teldrassil. For Azuremyst, just run straight after running through the Auberdine Inn.

Commento di 487775

The core hound is 1 of the best pets you can get when u can tame exotic i have 1 on my hunter lvl 60 pwnin in hellfire atm

Commento di 91916

go to auberdien, go to the very west end of the dock, hop on the boat and stay to the left side of the boat in the corner just as you walk on so as to not catch aggro from the shipmates. wait. hop off, run to the spot, tame.

tamed him no problem as a 62 hunter, only took one or two hits from an accidentally aggro'd lvl 40 auberdien guard using the path specified.

Commento di Gambrin

Short guide for those who are not familiar with alliance zones:

Fly from Orgrimaar to Zoram Outpost in Ashenvale
Run north across the border to Darkshore - either by the main road or by the narrow pass next to Blackfathom Deeps instance
Get close to Auberdine (half-way up the Darkshore shoreline)
Approach Auberdine from south-south-east, stop near the flight-master platform and wait there until the ship to Azuremyst Isle arrives at the "west terminal" (with maximum view-distance you can barely see it at the very end of the walkway). Take good care - the walkway is cross-shaped, the south terminal goes to Stormwind, north term goes to Darnassus, you want to watch the farthest, the west one.
As soon as the ship arrives, mount up and run through the inn and hit the walkway, run all the way to the ship and stop right at the middle of the ship at the mast. The Auberdine sentinels will not follow you to the ship, the marines will not aggro you.
Arriving at Azuremyst Isle, there are no guards at the landing. Just run from the ship to the shore and keep heading east until you hit the lake. Run around it in the north-east heading and keep that heading until you hit the road from Azure Watch to Stillpine Hold (check the map above).
Keep on the road heading straight north and you will see the cave mouth right ahead. The guards there are low level and probably will not even aggro you. Enter the cave and keep going straight north and do not ascend anywhere.
Kurken is at the farthest end of the cave. Tame, HS and enjoy your companion :)

Commento di Tikta

NOT TAMABLE! i just wasted 3 hours of fighting darkspear shore and runnign through all that bull*!@# just to get *animal not tamable*
but according to this site he is tamable.. NO HE IS NOT!

Commento di 10207

Wish I would have read all this first! I got on the wrong boat the first time as well ;/
Other than that, no issues with ally NPC's the whole way there.
A owl beast slapped me once in the cave as I was starting at The Kurken - but that's it. Heh.

Just an update, There are 2 level 75 and (the boat you want is straight at the end of the pier) 2 level 65 guard's on the boat. Just run on it & stand in the middle, as has been mention before they will not attack.

I tamed him today, he's freeking great! One of the best looking pets in the game IMO ;)

Commento di 540268

It was a good guide! but realy its in the groot (:

Commento di 492079

would a DK lvl 55 or what ever it is when you start be able to tank the ally guards cuz my friend just made one... so basicly could a lvl 62 and a lvl 55 DK do it
Edit...
was able to solo at lvl 62 by using a trash Worm pet to kill all the guards then jumped on the boat u must go stand by that pole in the midle of the boat or u will pull and die.
it was late at night so i didn't even encounter any low lvl draneis on the way... when i got to the cave i made my pet agro all of the little gaurds and then made him thunderstomp then i vollyed the 1s that wern't already dead
i then went in the cave and tamed... make sure ur hearth is up or u bring a scroll of home or what ever it is to port u to ur home.

Update:
i currently have the molten core core hound, uvuros, and a wolf and a rhino and i cant remember my 5th pet... i had to abandon this guy to make space. my suggested name for ur core hound if u cant think of 1 is Fluffy

Commento di 539353

I'd love to have this on my toon Merkinjerk. In fact I have the title "Jenkins" as well...

Alas, as a b.e. it will never be...

Commento di 592281

bagged this guy about a week ago and i can say its a bit anoyying how when he walks it sounds like thunder do any of the of the other core hounds do this

Commento di 484549

I first met this thing when i was exploring bloodmyst and azuremyst for cool pets to tame on my hunter.I saw tons of dead owlkins so i was wondering what was goin on.so i explored for 5-10 minutes then i swivel around and a huge 2 headed dog is staring straight at me.It scared me so bad i nearly jumped outta my seat.

Commento di 329137

Keep in mind that you'll have to level him up five levels. I recommend doing this on mobs that are roughly his level rather than yours. Otherwise you'll constantly pull aggro off of him. Even with Aspect of the Viper up, and nothing but Serpent Sting and auto-shot, I was pulling aggro for his first few levels.

Of course, you could just use it as an opportunity to practice your kiting!

Commento di 492357

Maybe it's just a weird name but i thought of The Kraken when i saw this guy.

Commento di 501637

I'd also like to add.... in regard to dealing with the guards, you not only have feign death, but Deterrence as well. You can also place a freezing trap and then disengage if you're really in a crunch. Concussive shot is also useful if you need to slow a guard down.

Commento di 611021

I can´t tame the Kurken, I have a lvl 62 night elf hunter, but keep saying Invalid Target =.(

Commento di FuzzyYak

AWESOME pet! Only problem is that he's a bit noisy, what with the stomping and the growling. Still, really really cool pet.

Commento di 59510

While the Kurken is listed as being of type "Core Hound", as of this writing, it does not appear to have been given the pet ability "Ancient Hysteria".

Currently you have to choose one of the other core hounds in the game if you want this pet ability.

Personally, I hope Blizzard fixes this because I really like the skin on the Kurken much much more than the green or red core hound skins. The Kurken looks like Cerberus the three headed dog from Greek mythology.

Commento di 338102

I just tamed this pet on my hunter, i can confirm as of this hotfix patch released on 27/10/10, this pet now has the ancient hysteria ability, therefore it can now bloodlust your party as intended, making it a nice choice instead of the MC or the BEM core hounds

happy taming!

Commento di 397261

Release the Kurken!

Commento di Rhonlynn

As an 80, that was cake. I already have the green corehound, and that one wasn't easy. I found this one in a lake inside the Stillpine Hold cave. When I tamed him, he immediately became level 77. I unequipped my range weapon, so I'd not kill him.

Commento di Every

As of 4.0.1 you need to be at least 69 to be able to tame him, or any other exotic pet (That's when you reach the 31 talent mark)

Commento di Kilin

For the Horde trying to get to Azuremyst Isle to tame him in 4.0.3, these are the only 2 routes that I know of atm (until we can fly there). **Remember you need to have Beast Mastery to tame him as he is considered exotic.

Elixir of water walking or some sort of water walking ability will help greatly with both routes.

1. **Note: this route should NOT pvp flag you

Take the Flight path from Orgrimmar to Zoram'gar Outpost in Ashenvale. From there run north to Lor'Danel in Darkshore.

Use the Elixir of water walking to run North West from the point on the map linked above (45 degrees to the left). You should get there with just enough fatigue to recover before entering Teldrassil.

The dock that takes you to Azuremyst Isle is the West dock.

As a 48 hunter, the level 85 elite sentinels saw right through feign death, so I just ran as fast as possible on my mount to the end of the dock before dying. As a ghost, if you take the same route across the water you will make it to the dock before fatiguing out. Unless you attack the sentinels back you will remain unflagged and can wait on the dock at your leisure till the boat comes :)

2. **You WILL be flagged since this route goes through Stormwind

Take the Zeppelin from Orgrimmar or Undercity to Grom Gol base camp. From there it's probably easiest to also use Elixir of water walking and run along the coast north to Stormwind.

Coming from the coast you will be lead right to the docks that take you to Teldrassil. You WILL be flagged since you are entering alliance territory, so you will have to worry about other players as well as the 85 elite guards. If you do suicide in, again try to die as close to the boat as possible. Prepare to ghost walk across all of Elwynn forrest back to the dock.

Once on the boat and at Teldrassil, make your way left to the West dock. Then enjoy your ride to Azuremyst :)

To be noted: Sentinel Brightgrass (level 55 non-elite guard on the boat to Stormwind) WILL agro! If you are 80 this will not affect you much but as a 48 hunter, her knock back and net weren't fun :(

In short:

Teldrassil docks:
West dock takes you to Azuremyst
South dock takes you to Stormwind.
(There is an East dock but the boat does not move, purely decorative atm)

Hope this helps on your travels :)

PS. I can't wait till I can just fly in and avoid all this baloney! RAWR!

Commento di 750469

If you want to quiet this guy, here's the way I'm doing it:

Be warned though, this quiets everything that uses these sound files, including Devilsaurs, bosses, mobs, etc. I really don't know how many things use this. Though it's probably negligible.

Part 1: Getting the Sound Files
1) Download an MPQ editor, like zuzula's
2) Use it to open C:/Users/Public/Games/WorldofWarcraft/Data/Sound.mpq
3) Extract the 5 .ogg files in this directory: Sound/Characters/footsteps/GiantFootSteps
4) Use a sound editor like Audacity to De-Amplify the sounds (I used Amplify -30 to make it fairly soft but still audible)

Part 2: Making WoW think you know how to mod (e.g. the easy recreation bit)
1) Go to your WoW folder, that's C:/Users/Public/Games/WorldofWarcraft/Data
2) Make a file path within this folder that EXACTLY matches the one that was in the MPQ, when you are done you should have: C:/Users/Public/Games/WorldofWarcraft/Data/Sound/Characters/footsteps/GiantFootSteps
3) Remember: This is caps sensitive!
4) Put the quiet homemade versions of the 5 sound files inside the GiantFootSteps folder you just made.
5) This should force WoW to use the modified sounds and result in a happy hunter :D

Commento di BlizzardB

I just got this pet yesterday. Things you'll need:

- An extra set of armor
- Patience
- A friend
- A flying mount

Reading it from the other posts here it seemed liked the trip itself was going to be very rough but it wasn't actually all that bad. All you have to do is make sure you fly high enough so that when you're over Stormwind you won't get shot down by some guard. If you do, resurrect at the graveyard and try again. Once you're near the docks maintain a safe distance away from the ship and survey who is getting on or off. If it looks clear, land at the back of the ship. The first time I did this we landed on the sails (friend's idea) and the ship moved without them, but I was still on it. The person in the back will not attack you even if they are red. I didn't venture down to the main part of the ship but as long as you don't provoke anyone somehow, your presence on the ship should be alright. Once you arrive in Rutheran village you will need to find another ship that takes off. If you are at the deserted one with no people on it, you are obviously at the wrong dock. Once you find the dock that takes you to Azuremyst, the Kurken is located in a cave with a bunch of level 8 moonkins running about. It's almost like he's their dog or something. Along the way I died several times, but I was also doing all of the exploration to get the achievements. I would recommend doing them as you probably never want to come back.

Commento di 765205

i think he looks cooler than all the other core hounds and there my favorite hunter pet.

Commento di 763202

Well, since no one has posted on this topic since 2008, I figured I would share my experience in 2011.

I left WoW shortly after TBC was released and have just come back to the game in the last two weeks. My first character was my Troll Hunter (who is now a Goblin) and I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Rare/Rare Model pets. When I found out that there is was an "Exotic Pets" training Talent I knew that I had to get it.

Here's how I got to train The Kurken, post-cataclysm with no Potions and a normal flying speed mount:

1) Fly to Darkshore (technically, I used the Lunar Festival Portal to Moonglade and then flew from Moonglade to Winterspring and then flew over the mountains, but there are many ways to skin that cat.)

2) Fly north past Lor'danel (51,18) - Flying over sentinels or too close to Lor'danel will automatically activate your PvP flag. You will eventually get flagged anyway, but if you care about staying out of PvP as long as possible, try to avoid them.

3) Just prior to crossing the "sea" boundary line, check the World Map and make sure you are aimed North-Northwest at the smaller island off of Teldrassil where Rut'theran Village is located.

4) Start flying and don't stop. With a normal Wind Rider you should make it from Lor'danel to Rut'theran Village with about 5-10 seconds to spare. I will assume a faster mount would make the aiming not as important.

5) Once safely over shallow water, fly to the Western Boat Dock (52, 89) where the Elune's Blessing should be docked. If its not there, it will be shortly, so just wait.

6) Board the ship. To avoid any problems, I parked my Wind Rider on the bow of the ship. Which interestingly enough, did not aggro any of the Mariners. I guess sailors are sailors and don't really care who rides their boat. The Boat will then zone into Azuremyst Isle.

7) Once in the zone, wait until you get a little close to shore to jump ship. Flying mounts do not work in this zone, so jump off prior to the dock and swim to shore where you can mount up on your land mount.

8) Follow the path East out of Bristlelimb Village until it turns into a dirt path and head North to Azure Watch. Give Azure Watch a wide berth because there are hidden guards that will appear out of nowhere if you aggro someone in the village.

9) Continue North until you hit the mountain range and head right into the cave. Follow the middle path through the cave and there's your shiny new two headed, fire breathing, Ancient Hysteria invoking puppy!

10) Train him and then enjoy watching him breath fire and eat all the Wildkin on the way out of the cave.

I hope this helps Horde hunters post-Cataclysm that want to train this very cool looking pet.

Commento di 386002

Easy way to do this:
You of course have the talent, blah blah, cold weather flying, old world flying..
1. Go to Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra.
2. Fly to the main Ally base, the harbor one, I forget what the hell it's called.
C. Fly up to the crow's nest, up on top of the ship.
H. When the boat reaches SW harbor, fly towards the Teldrassil boat and land off on the left side , this is below the topmost deck, on the side of the boat above where the rear windows are. You'll be mostly out of sight this way.
43. Once the boat arrives in Ruther'an (whatever) Village go to the far western boat. Fly to the top, sit on the upper mast, again you're out of the way up there, no aggro. The boat reaches Azuremyst, jump off into the water. Mount up, and off you go! No hassles! Everyone else has said where to go from here.
Enjoy your ridiculous white two-headed Pomeranian!

Unlike other corehounds (bar Chromaggus) this pet does not make constant "firey" noises. Instead it has a white "frosty". The stomping while walking remains.

One wonders how this cold-based creature spits lava.

Commento di Dahork

Seems to have an 4 minute spawn (My stopwatch counted 4min, 22sec)

Commento di 779725

He's a pain to get to as of the Cataclysm patch. I found the easiest way as a horde was to walk across the sea between Auberdine and Teldrasil. from there grab the boat to the Dreani place (forgot the name, itll be the furthest boat from the dock). Aside from that he's a good pet I feel. If you don't mind people asking where he's from that is :D

Commento di Crypus

After taming this guy, he seems to freeze his hind legs while walking ._.

Commento di Bobcatmarley

As of Cata you must be level 69 to tame this purty beast *hehe 69* and as of patch 4.1. this purty will now scale to your level...

Commento di Rauven

With the new changes in Cata, namely in Auberdine, this pet went from piece of cake to little easier than blowing hell's flame out. You'll need to go Stormwind -> Darnassus -> Exodar for him, watch out if you're low level because Stormwind guards are ranged and can (and will) one shot you if you fly too close to them.

I just tried to tame him to add to my collection, but it says "Creature Not Tameable". Anyone else have this happen?

Nevermind, just figured it out.

Commento di 852572

just got this today, followed cainedvamps instructions (thanks!) and made it all the way in without getting flagged. tamed him and hearthed out :D

Commento di 671108

it seems as of 4.2 this guy is quiet, no roaring is heard when he raises his heads and does a roaring action, light footfall sounds when moving, my corehound pup makes more noise :(, the "flames" don't seem be making any noise either

you need to be lvl69 and have the Beast Mastery Talent from the BM Talent Tree

Just tamed this fella tonight.

Its quite the adventure getting to his location and ive been referenced to a couple ways. But heres how i did it and took all the brainstorming and bs out of the equation. It took me 15 mins to accomplish this.

First thing i done was buy a walk on water elixir from the AH.

Second: i flew from orgrimmar to zoram'gar outpost.

Third: once landed i mounted up and went north towards auberdine following the darkshore shoreline. Now, your indicator of where to run across the water left to teldrassil on your mini map, is the curved bend of shallow water top of your map just before you get to lor'daneal (its the last bend of shallow water top of map before gettin to lor'denael.) Thats the point you wanna travel from goin northwest across the sea to the shore of teldrassil. Youll begin to exhaustbut on your mount running across water youre in no danger and reach easily. Now when you reach ashore on your mount the first boat dock you see is NOT the one you want, its an idle boat and isnt goin anywhere. Its the one around (past) and to the right of that boat. Youll see it coming in front of you, i advise to swim past it and come ashore of it to the right. Theres guards at the mouth of the entrance of the dock so you dont want to go that way, jump on the dock from the halfway point then wait at the edge for the boat. No mobs will bother you and the mobs on the boat act as if youre not even there.

Fourth: when you arrive in azure you wanna bring up your map and go north of the map to steel pine hold. When you get there youll see a wooded cave entrance surrounded by low level furbolgs. Go straight into the entrance and then youll wanna take the first entrance you come to that bears left and down (first entrance youll see on left). Once you go down and around youll see your furry friend waiting for you in that area. so...tame, name and hearth. done.

I named my furry lava breathing friend "Drago" derived from the russian assasin ivan drago in rocky 4.

cheers to the victors...

Tame Kurken
Name Omen
Say you tamed Omen when he was a beast
?
Profit

Commento di 910963

Not sure why the guy below said he is not tameable, because he still is.

Best way to get to Azuremyst Isle btw is to fly to Ruttheran Village on Teldrassil and then catch the boat from the most northern pier. Easy to find at the end of the left-hand cave as stated below.

Commento di ScottCom

I just wanted to clear up that The Kurken IS tamable, however, you will need the Beast Mastery ability "Beast Mastery" to be able to do so. This is because he is a Corehound, and therefore one of the rare tamable creatures.

I hope this helps hunters in the future.

Commento di selvin

Note that if you simply look at the map here at wowhead it looks like you need to go behind the mountain range there to get him, but actually you want the inland side, as he's actually in a big cave. Once inside the cave just follow the path and drop down when you get to the fallen tree bridge.

Commento di 965887

You WILL need Beast Mastery in order to tame this beast. Kurken is a very cool pet and would be nice to get for lower level beast masters until you can tame spirit beasts. Why should you tame The Kurken?

-Due to his low NPC level you can tam him with no troubles, no need to lay down and ice trap in my opinion but still may.

-He does very well for DPS, and has a special ability called, Lava Breath which i find very helpful when in a battleground facing other players such as mages or warlocks with casting time spells.

-Being a uniquely different beast from the other and having two heads with the light blue smoke, etc. He seems very intimidating compared to your normal pet!

Hunt on!

Commento di ToolPackinMama

He's the only one like him in the game, and the only core hound that might be called cute.

Commento di wakar

It is a really cool pet for hunters, the only downside is that it gets really small when you tame it, becoming (in size) like a lion.

Commento di 1022530

Great Little Pet that looks cool to get if you are a beast mastory Hunter it is very easy to get if u are an alli and just looks really cool if you are into the corehound Series just adds to the whole collection line.

Commento di OhWhyNot

do you have to be horde to tame this pet? I keep getting not tamable. I am a lvl 22 worgen hunter.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Commento di OhWhyNot

for all low level hunters you cannot tame this one until you have beast mastery skill which will proabably be around lvl 60

Commento di Thottbot

I was wondering if hunter were able to tame him?

Commento di Thottbot

Unfortunately no, you can't tame him. Man that would have been a cool pet, I was sad when it read "Cannot be tamed"... :(

Commento di Thottbot

man, i was soo excited and abandoned my pet to try adn get him :(

Commento di Thottbot

I did the same thing.. he looks so cool. couldn't tame though

Commento di Thottbot

Kurken is Lurkin' :P

Would have been cool to have a two-headed dog following you around!

Commento di Thottbot

Mear guess what ur post does'nt even say about Kurken can u leave plz?thank you man this'd be a cool pet imagine what powers he'd have.

Commento di Thottbot

where is the kurken can someone tell me plz?

Commento di Thottbot

dear ANY blizzard employee,

make him tameable!

I BEG OF YOU!

Commento di Allakhazam

As there is no screenshot up yet (and my lappy can't get screenies) I'm just gonna say he looks like a shrunken version of omen, which makes killling him delightfully satisfying.

Commento di Allakhazam

Hehe, I was wondering the same thing... if this thing is tameable, I'm making a hunter just so I can get it.

Commento di Allakhazam

OK I have a 52 in BM and I still can not tame him what is up with that?

Commento di Allakhazam

My Lv. 70 Night Elf Hunter has his BM's at 51 including Exotic Pets and still can't tame The Kurken. Why?

Commento di Allakhazam

There can be only one!

Commento di Allakhazam

This is probably a pointless question but out of pure curiousity is this beast tamable? (I highly doubt it but you can never tell...)

I tried to tame the beast. Would of made a awesome pet. But the Kurken is NOT tameable. But hey it was fun thinking about it.

Commento di Allakhazam

The loc is dead on, but keep in mind that he is in Stillpine Hold which is underground. He is easy as pie to get to and kill solo, no risk of adds during the fight. The one I fought was only lvl 10 so he might have been nerfed some.

waaaaaaaaaa! that pet would look so awesome i mean imagine wondering around with a pet that has 2 heads :D i'll try my hand at taming deathclaw

Commento di Allakhazam

Kurken WILL be tameable in WOTLK as an exotic, itl be classed as a core hound, (New exotic pet family revealed in beta patch 8905) and...it'l rock :D

Commento di Allakhazam

Being that this fella is only found in a predominate Alliance area, and I think that most Hoarde will opt for the easier to access tames in other zones, I HAD to have this baby for my Tauren. For all you other Hoard who have not already figured out the easy access route to Azuremyst, buckle up and get ready for the 10 cent travel tour ... here we go !

1. In order to tame this guy you need to have the 51 point Beast Master talent. Don't waste your time getting here without it. If you respec. after the tame and drop the 51 point talent your pet will be unuseable. I do not think you will lose the pet but it will be unsummonable (Im not 100% on the not losing it but, I don't think you will, Im not taking the chance to find out. If you do please feel free to post or comment what happened). Also I think the 51 point talent requires a minimum level of 60 to attain, with the new pet rules this would give you a lvl 55 pet from this tame. If a pet is more than 5 levels lower than your level when you tame it, it is raised to 5 levels lower as soon as it is tamed. Since this is a lvl 12 mob it will always tame at a minimum of lvl 55. (ie if you are level 62 your pet would be a lvl 57. If your 70 your pet will be a 65, etc. etc.) It will level like a normal pet until it catches up to you.

2. Make sure you have stabled your pet before you leave the homeland. There is nowhere for a Hoard to stable their pets once you leave the motherlands and you do not want to have one of your favorite pets with you when it's time to tame a new one and have to destroy it. You could tame a trash pet, if you want, to get you where your going but, I did not find it necessary and I think it would actually have been a hinderance had I had one with me (see below why).

3. If you have the flight path to the Zoram Strand take it. This is the closest place a hoarde can get, flight path wise, to where we are going. If you do not have the path make your way to Darkshore and the alliance outpost at Auberdine any way you can. At level 60+ there is not much that will trouble you getting to Auberdine, just make sure not to get flagged PvP by any of the wandering NPC's you may stumble upon along the way, it may not be a trouble to kill them off but it will slow down your travel and very likely, since you are without a pet, make you a magnet for the high level alliance helping to powerlevel their low level friends & alts.

4. Before you reach Auberdine, head for the beach and swim out to the end of the harbor at Auberdine. The ship to Azuremyst docks at the part of the harbor that is straight out from the outpost at the very end, it is NOT one of the branches to the left or right. OK, now, while in the water place yourself directly under where the ship stops when it is docked at the harbor. While treading water, press the 'x' key to lower your self just enough to start the air gauge running. Do not go to the ocean floor, you want to die as close to the surface as possible to give yourself as much wiggle room as possible. Once the air gauge begins to run just wait until you drown and run back to the docks in spirit form and wait for the ship like everyone else. DO NOT ACCEPT THE REZZ YET ! There are a couple of guards at the end of the harbor and they WILL aggro on you. Wait for the ship.

5. Now, when the ship arrives, this is where your placement is MOST important. At one time there were no guards on the ships but, as of last night it seems they have been given their jobs back. And there are not just a couple of them, I counted at least 8, so your placement is MOST important for your survival. On the main deck there are 4 NPC's. I am sure there are other safe areas to stand but I am just giving where I found. There is a mast in the very center of the main deck. In spirit form place yourself against this mast, you should be close to equal distance away from each of the 4 NPC's do not move from this spot. Now the waiting game and timing is most important. As soon as the ship begins to pull away from the harbor press the button to accept your rezz. If you positioned yourself correctly you will not have any aggro from the 4 NPC's on the deck. As added insurance I Feigned Dead as soon as the rezz got accepted. Now wait out the ride until the ship zones into Azuremyst Isle. If you were Feigned Dead when you zoned into Azuremyst you will no longer be when you arrive but you will not have a cool down timer so you can immedietely Feign Dead again if needed. This is not really a problem because as soon as you get zoned in on the ship you will see the shoreline of the isle. At this time, dive off into the water and swim to the shore, I made it off the boat without aggro (much to the dismay of the Paladin that I accepted my rezz infront of, I could see the drool coming off his lips as he saw a Tauren materialize infront of him on the ship).

6. Now once on shore, make your way to the LOC of The Kurken. He is found inside a cave in the northern area of the zone. There are tons of furbolg type creatures all over the area out front of the cave that will also flag you PvP. These are easily avoidable if you approach the entrance fron the left side and pick your path along the mountains base until you reach the mouth of the cave. Keep Feign Dead handy in case you aggro some of them. Once you get into the cave the furbolgs located there are all fair game and you can kill to your hearts content. Make your way back to the cavern with The Kurken and capture your new pet.

7. Congratulations ! now hearth out and start leveling up your new companion.

*** You can make this run MUCH easier and MUCH faster if you are not concerned with getting flagged PvP or if you are on a PvP server. I did this run with the intention of going solo and not wanting to run into the one bored lvl 70 Alliance character who had nothing better to do all night then make my life a living hell, by camping me and killing me everytime I turned around. If I had not been trying to avoid becoming flagged, killing the boat guards and the guards along the harbor in Auberdine would have been a MUCH faster way to go about it. This was done with the intention of getting in - getting the pet - and getting out without having to cross paths with anything that would hinder the process. ***

Tamed this 2 Headed beast today, had to wait my turn cause 3 other lvl 70's were there. He auto leveled to lvl 65 and even though he stomps he is a very good pet, holds agro against the lvl 70 sun furys and i already got him to lvl 67. I'm glad they made the 2 extra stable slots cause i also have lvl 70 Ghost Saber, Lvl 70 Raveger (the one that changes colors and gave Dash 3) and the Black Lion from barrens at lvl 66. I'm not sure what next one will be but i've always loved taming hard to get or unusual pets. This one is definately getting lots of attention) He's not hard to find, Just go in the Wildkin cavern, bear to the left till you see pool of water and he dosn't have a long spawn timer if someone else has just tamed/killed him. Good Luck.

Commento di Allakhazam

I try'd to tame this beast, with my lvl 21 NE Hunter but you can not tame it :(, I wanted a pet with two heads :P

Commento di Allakhazam

I just tamed this on the PTR. Lowest level that you can tame this Core Hound is at level 60, when you can get the Beast Mastery Talent.

I was really excited about taming one of these. He's really a pretty pet. It's just that I can stand having him follow me. His steps are extremely loud and obnoxious. I hope that they change the volume of its footsteps before 3.0 goes live.

Commento di Allakhazam

tdantrim, Even though you have 52 points in BM, did you take the 51 point talent called "Beast Mastery". You need to take to be able to tame exotics.

The guides below work like a charm, thanks Wilee. Thanks for the tip on approaching the cave from the left, avoided all the Furbolg mobs.

Hmmm....It seems that this comment thread hasn't been updated in quite a while and contains some inaccurate information. The Kurken is tameable and has been for quite a while. I tamed him on an Alliance hunter before a multi-year break from the game. Upon my return, I was able to tame him on a Horde toon just today (getting there was a completely separate story)

EDIT: As a commenter below points out, tamability matters depending both on level and which version of the game you happen to be on. Since this thread exists on the TBC Classic database, my comments above do not apply. In the Retail version of the game, he is absolutely tamable and I did not realize I had commented on the wrong thread line.
