How to Obtain
Wild Capture
Wild pets are captured, not looted. Find one in Stormsong Valley, start a pet battle, bring it below 35% health, then use a trap before finishing the battle.
Shadowback Crawler: ability choices and unlocks
The table connects Shadowback Crawler to its recorded abilities, grouped by combat slot. Open an ability to inspect its effects and other pets with the same move.
| Ability | Slot | Unlock level |
|---|---|---|
| Shadow Slash | Slot 1 | 1 |
| Water Jet | Slot 1 | 10 |
| Call Darkness | Slot 2 | 2 |
| Spiny Carapace | Slot 2 | 15 |
| Crystal Prison | Slot 3 | 4 |
| Headbutt | Slot 3 | 20 |
- Slot 1 pairs Shadow Slash (level 1) with Water Jet (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 2 pairs Call Darkness (level 2) with Spiny Carapace (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 3 pairs Crystal Prison (level 4) with Headbutt (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.
Where to Find It: Stormsong Valley
Return to ZuldazarWar Supply CacheThe game data places this pet in Stormsong Valley but records no spawn coordinates. The gold pins are the zone's own landmarks from the game data, not this pet's spawn points.
