Where It Drops

Thundering Cobalt Cloud Serpent drops from Nalak, an encounter in the raid Pandaria (Mists of Pandaria). The Adventure Guide lists it on every difficulty of the encounter. It is one of 120 items in that encounter's loot table. The game files carry no drop chance, so none is shown here.

When Lei Shen discovered a rare clutch of thundering cloud serpents, he was awed, and set to subjugating them. The largest hatchling fiercely resisted, and when Lei Shen visited the handling pens, he laughed mightily at the charred mogu that lined the walls. He took the hatchling for his own, and for its obedience, granted it power over the storms and the sky. For thousands of years following the death of the Thunder King, Nalak has guarded the walls of his hidden citadel, awaiting his return.
