Found him just south of the Witchwing area in Northwestern barrens. Hits for 20 on a lvl 13 bear form druid and has a poison spit doing 30-35 dmg. Considerably easy.

Commento di 86459

I found him where it says he is but when i went to tame him he was shooting toxic spit at me did around 30 - 40 dmg so when you go to tame him or kill him watch out if your a low lvl

Commento di HIGHERGROUND

yes Tameable but nothing special like his poision spit he does on you. though I'm sure later on dash can be learned for this pet.

Check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy1AsFrj4qU for snort the heckler and other rare pets ...

Commento di 164645

No real surprises here, he looks a lot like the other hyaenas so if you're looking for him be careful not to miss him.

Commento di 251891

The skin stays the same after taming in WoLK

Commento di 182789

I'm glad Blizz finally decided to edit the hyena model and make them much more realistic, real hyena have that hunched back that you mentioned. I <3 the change!

Heckler:
to harass (a public speaker, performer, etc.) with impertinent questions, gibes, or the like; badger.

Snort is easy to find becaus he dosen't blend in so well :)
He drops greens every time so if you are close to his location you should look for him.

Commento di 608623

ok so i found this guy wandering the chasm that deathwing made today and the first thing that came to my mind was why is he down their. anyway i went down their to try to kill him i slid right by the rock and landed on the bottom but he still saw me so he stood on the rock he was on barely out of mellee range from me (im a warrior btw) and he started casting so first thing i thought to do was go hide behind some of the other rocks nope his poison spits can go through walls my next instinct was to try to jump to where he was the chasm is very slippery so i never got to him so i pulled out my gun and started shooting at him in the end i won with 5 hp only using 2 potions and minisha's skull then i realized how am i going to loot him...

Commento di Sythas

Found him just now in Southern Barrens? Not sure if he has moved with patch or if it's another location but found at 45,43 on the little bump where the alliance and horde NPCs fight each other (Northwatch Recon/Desolation Grunt).

Commento di NinjaPirateTaki

Snort jumped to level 31 and moved to the Southern Barrens in 4.0.6. He now owns a bone pile north of the ruins of Camp Taurajo.

He might be a bit difficult to find, depending on your server, as this is smack dab in the middle of an archaeology zone.

Ok- In a effort to be the OCD hunter that I am, I set out on my 19 twink to tame all elite and rare beasts under level 20. There are 2 beasts that currently elude my grasp and this one is one of them. Thank you Themattyiceshow for your recent post. However, since the post I have not found this animal in game. I cannot confirm that he exsists, or what level that he is now. I have emailed and ask blues in game that say that saying whether something is still in game or not "Is giving game hints." I think that is bunk but whatever. Can someone please confirm that 1. this creature does exsist. 2. Where he is. And 3. What level he is now. So I can either tame him or move on. Thank you.

Commento di 782722

Two things for a couple previous posts.

SilverDragon and NPC_Scan don't appear to have him in their databases - at least nothing is showing on my maps. Same with Humar and other rares in Barrens.

I've never used SilverDragon. But I do use NPC_Scan. You can add in your own NPCs as a custom search. All you need is the ID# of the mob. That number is at the top of every page for whatever mob. In this case it's 5829. You can technically even use this to help find hard to find quest givers. Whatever mobs you add though still follow the same rules as far as clearing your cache and such.

@ gandalf41265,
He's still in game. Tonight I was doing some archeology in Kalimdor and I flew right over him. That's actually why I'm even on this page tonight. I was on a flight path rather than a mount. But I was curious if he dropped anything worth while. I was going to fly back if he did.

Commento di Chipstick

Just to confirm, tamed him last night...BUT npc-scan will not give usual alert, even after entering the npc ID number, as this fella is in the "wrong zone", so it assumes its a tamed pet already. He is in Southern Barrens, co-ords as shown on map.

Commento di 127222

happen to come accross him while digging..45 ..44 were the co-ordinates in the barrons. Npc did not alert me (didn't delete cashe file recently however). Very easy to spot, very few other beasts around and his colour sticks out a mile...Noticed nither of the talents are around anymore (spit /rip..at least not showing in his talent book). Now with pet dps not being much of a factor anymore he is usuable in raids where buffs are covered so we get to look at something different in a pet for a change.

Commento di Jettafae

I think his spawn timer got LONGER. I camped him for an hour, he popped up at 12:50pm. But a night elf mage killed him as I was dismissing my wolf so I could tame. So my camp continued. He didnt show up again until 4:50pm on the dot.

So with that, I'll say his spawn timer is 4 hours. I will also confirm NPCScan will NOT alert you for now until they update. They have the wrong NPC ID in place and it'll think it's a pet cause it's not Northern Barrens.

Commento di turkesh

Finally found and tamed him today in Southern Barrens at 45.50 43.70 on the bone pile mentioned above. He does not appear to path at all. Not sure why he was so hard to get. Took me about a week of checking before I spotted him. Had him set up as a custom NPC with ID: 5829. NPC Scan did post a notice in chat about him as a tamable mob found in the wrong zone but no alarm. I had just cleared the cache.

Commento di mewmewface

is he rly that hard to find? found him in vendetta point while i was doing archaeology, so i tried to find a hunter and ask them if they want to tame him but there was nobody near. i just went on my hunter and tamed it myself.

Commento di Scunosi

Now in the Southern Barrens, so he's level 31, but not Elite. He continuously casts Toxic Spit at you rather than meleeing (which I find odd for a Hyena) but it is interuptable. He's much larger than the nearby hyenas and a more purplish color. Found him pacing amongst the Kodo bones.
Dropped Infiltrator Bracers of Intellect for me.

Commento di seanotd

Went to the Southern Barrens as a 42 looking for the rare Sithilid Harvester way south and just a little west of this guy and was told about him by a friend. So I mounted up, and ran across the battlefield and through the other Hyenas in the area and he was standing there all nice and pretty for me on a small dirt mound covered in bones. I instantly started taming him, and I don't know what it is about him, but he has become by far my favorite pet, and the only one I consistently use, regardless of all my others such as Spiteflayer, Tsul'Kalu, Old Cliff Jumper and Pogeyan being far more... Well unique. I just love him. PvE, PvP, Randoms.. Whatever. I remember my favorite memory with him though was hunting and killing Ravage in the Blasted Lands. Almost like a "Take that!" by killing the other, more powerful rare that shared his name.. Someday I would also like to tame Giggler and Slavener.. I just loves me the Hyenas haha..... Hyahahahahahhaahhhaah

EDIT: I was thinking of the Upper Blackock Spire boss Gizrul The Slavener. Sorry. I REALLY meant Slaverjaw, the rare red Hyena. Giggler is the blue/green one. Ravage and Snort are the purples.

Commento di 873005

Just Tamed him 10.05am Server time on Doomhammer, We had server restart aprox 3 hrs Prior so indeed looks like 3 hr Spawn.

Thaurassin Server Oceanic

I read the previous comments about location, spawn timers and the ability that he has and started camping myself today. I started from 17:33pm, no hyena D: I waited around for two more hours and finally he spawned. 19:26pm he was there. I completely forgot about the fact he casts posion spit and launched a trap waiting for him to walk through it as I tamed him. My hunter, Luca lvl 50 and undead, didnt get hit by the spits. Successfully tamed and named Jerry.

Happy Hunting :D

Snort the Heckler is a rare beast for hunters to tame. I accidentally found him while leveling archaeology in the Southern Barrens at coordinates 45.5, 43.9 east of Vendetta Point near a small rise of bones. Since I wasn't a hunter I killed him just out of curiosity to see what he dropped for non-hunters and he only dropped some green level bracers. He's cool-looking though.

Commento di Mormolyce

I think his life expectancy dropped by a factor of 100 when Blizzard put an arch site right under his feet.

Commento di Thottbot

I decieded on getting this hyena as a pet and it turned out as a good choice. He has a bit more ac/hitpoint then pets around his lvl.

Commento di Thottbot

any idea how long he takes to respawn considering hes a rare?

Commento di Thottbot

I believe he's on a 24 hour cycle. I looked for him around 11pm on a Monday night and could not find him. I went back an hour later, just a few minutes after midnight, and found him easily.

Commento di Thottbot

this guy obviously has tendon rip, which is invaluable for hunters. can anyone confirm if he has tendon rip when you tame him?

Commento di Thottbot

can u tell me where exactly does he spawn?

Commento di Thottbot

I've spent close to two days looking for this hyena and there is absolutely nothing..An exact location would be much helpful..

Commento di Thottbot

Tamed him last night with my Horde hunter - the tame failed three times without any 'resisted' message in the combat log. Has a ranged poison attack which does a lot of damage...but the fourth try came through, which was good, as I was down to about 10 HP.

Commento di Thottbot

Just spotted Ol' Snort about Midnight just north of the road in between Stonetalon and wailing caverns...

Commento di Thottbot

So whats so great about hyenas? I mean, most pets you cn get in the game have their own sort of strong points and weak points in thier stats. So what is the strong points in hyena's? As of now, i hear that thier health is pretty high for thier lvl's

Commento di Thottbot

Just got snort as a pet i have been using a hyena for a pet for a couple of lvls and like him way more than the raptor i had. Hyenas seem to have better staying power when it comes to a long fight or multiple targets

Commento di Thottbot

i caught him about 10 mintues ago, attack speed is 2.0, damage is good, his speed is awesome. for a level 17 pet, hes great.

Commento di Thottbot

Very ugly pet.. purple ^^

Commento di Thottbot

i just tamed him yesterday and i really lik him.
i need to teach him bite 3 tonight

Commento di Thottbot

no he does not hav tendon rip when u tame him and if looked at the map u can tell he doesnt hav a fixed position

Commento di Thottbot

i cant find him i have looked all over by Wc and other places but i still cant find him someone help me

Commento di Thottbot

Found at 42,21 Green Drop Soldier's Armor of the Eagle (lvl 13 mail chest)

Commento di Thottbot

Well... I have a hunter and I've been debating between to horde pets (im a dwarf). Should I get Snorth the Heckler or Takk the Leaper?

Commento di Thottbot

(from http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/ )

Type: General
HP: Medium � Armor: Medium � DPS: Medium
Learns: Bite, Cower, Dash, Growl
Diet: Fruit, Meat

So, for a little less DPS than a cat, you get almost the armor/HP of a bear.. not bad.

Snort looks more 'exciting' than most hyenas, too.

Commento di Thottbot

Been hunting him for the last few days, I spotted him once while My hunter was level 15 and haven't been able to find him since I hit 17. Still trying for nothing more then to be able to have him, but thinkin' of giving up for a while until I can get the Scarlet Tracking Hound.

Commento di Thottbot

I found him and tamed him two days ago. He popped at exactly 4:36 am server time.

Commento di Thottbot

This may be a bit late, but may be useful for someone else. I have a 43rd-level Hunter with Takk and he works just fine. I also have a 23rd-level Hunter and I trained Snort a couple of levels ago. Snort works well too.

Takk can be taught Bite and Claw; Snort can be taught Dash and Bite. It's your choice. Frankly, a pet is a pet is a pet. It comes down to looks as much as anything else.

As far as keeping pets happy, a diet with some options is handy. For this reason, a third Hunter of mine has a crab. Only Boars and Bears have a wider choice of food. Takk will only eat meat and Snort is happy with meat and fruit. In that respect, the advantage lies with Snort.

Happy hunting!

Commento di Thottbot

Just taimed him with my level 17 dwarf hunter - got lucky and he spawned within 4 minutes & exactly where I had decided to wait.

Commento di Thottbot

I just killd him, i was walkin around and saw him. Didnt know who he was. Im a lvl 14 and hes 17. He dropped a pair of mail gloves. I killd him at 41,26 at about 10:00am realm time. good luck if you want him for a pet.

Commento di Thottbot

I trained it when i was lvl 18, high lvl friends help x].

He's greAT to have.
not that hard to level up.

Commento di Thottbot

so i was sitting here reading this then i was about to go and it popped i my face lol

Commento di Thottbot

found him on Vek Nilash in between the 2 mountains south of the harpys, he shows up on the minimap when tracking beasts, found him wandering near the savanah prowlers along the western mountain range south of harpys

Commento di Thottbot

I just tamed him at level 20. He was level 17. I went over looking for him with no luck. I was giving up after around 5 minutes when i got basted with a poison shot, and here he was. All he did was use the poison shot, but no he doesnt have it when he's tamed. Nor does he have any other skills for that matter

Commento di Thottbot

Omg this pet is one of the best i've ever had

Commento di Thottbot

Just a bit off topic, you can find Stonearm (rare, non-elite) the centaur in this area as well. Nice grab, if you can get both at the same time.

Commento di Thottbot

I heard about this guy, and decided to tame him since I'm lvl 17 and I'm sick of my bear... so I went to the barrens, found the area he spawns in, stood up on the mountain range looking around with Eagle Eye, found him after a couple of minutes... then tamed him first try. I think he's on a 2-3 hour spawn cycle. I got pretty lucky.

Commento di Thottbot

I wish I could tame things in peace - I traveled alll the way to this spot from Darkshore to tame this guy, and there he was - but then, out of nowhere a stupid troll came along and killed him while I was in the middle of taming. Even if I were completely bored I wouldn't stoop that low just to be a jerk to someone on the opposite faction. Well I hope the spawn rate is faster than 24 hrs.

Commento di Thottbot

I use him as a pet. As far as I'm concerned he's the best pet ever! WAY better than cat pets anyway.

After I tamed him, I stayed in the area killing everything because i tend to get way better drops in that area, and he reappeared after about 2.5 hours.

The way I found him was easy. Sit at coordinates 41,21 and just wait, He'll eventually just appear in front of you. If you don't have that much time, find out when you're realm will be shut down next for maintenance. Log out at that spot, and then log back in as soon as the server comes back up. He should be right there, unless someone kills him before you.

Unfortunately he does not keep his elite status when tamed, nor does he keep his venom spit or his tendon rip, but he's still a really great pet.

Commento di Thottbot

i can't find this guy! ive been looking for snort the heckler for an hour, but still can't find him. i even did a macro but nothing. i think from patch 2.4 they made him spawn for a longer time.

23 hunter, grimhunt.arathor realm

Commento di Thottbot

Just tamed this fella around 6pm server time. think ill keep him till i can get a red one from SM.

Commento di Thottbot

he's a nice pet

Commento di Thottbot

Found him in less than 5 min, I just went to the west of the half man half horse dudes and turned on track beasts and followed the plains by the mountain ranges

Commento di Thottbot

I was doing my druid quest hunting kodos in the area for horns the other night, Snort showed up and started spitting venom at me. I killed him and went back to my grinding. I'm not 100% sure on how long it was, but, sure enough, after a short while hunting my Kodos, he spawned and started spitting again! I definitely wasn't grinding kodos for 24 hours before he respawned!

Commento di Allakhazam

He doesnt have anything special, not bite or anything. This is as of 13/3 2006

Commento di Allakhazam

anyone know his timer? like if you know when he last died when he should pop up next?

Commento di Allakhazam

Snort was the reason I gave the hunter class a try in the first place. A fellow guildie explained that there was a mob named "Snort The Heckler" and it struck me as so funny I decided to make a hunter solely to tame him as a gimmick pet.

Well, my gimmick hunter is now my main alt who just hit level 43 and still has Snort faithfully at his side (even after the staggering disappointment of learning that all the hyenas in 1k Needles looked just like him).

Properly taught with all of his up-to-date talents and he's a formidable opponent to tangle with. I've had a few people warn me that hyenas really aren't a very good choice in pet compared to some of the other pets available to a hunter of my level, but Snort does his job well and has been doing it well since we were both level 17.

Two thumbs up for this little purple menace! :)

Commento di Allakhazam

I came across this rare spawn when I was exiting Stonetalon Mountains. He spits poison (green stuff) from his mouth, which is pretty nasty and abnormal for a hyena, but that ability doesn't translate to the tamable pet. I tamed him because I liked his looks. He's purple. It's been a pain leveling him up to the 20's. So far, I haven't seen anything outstanding about him except his special attack bar seems to always be replenishing at a very rapid rate. Damage and armor are typical.

Commento di Allakhazam

i wanted a hyena, bt wanted sumthing unique, so i was looking for this guy. found him almost immediately, so i abandoned my moonsaber and went in to tame him. then, two tauren came out of nowhere and slaughtered him. i started crying, and they said "ko togar" and left. now i gotta wait for him to spawn again. -sigh-

Commento di Allakhazam

whats his attack speed and other stats?

Commento di Allakhazam

so cute! i love this guy, hyenas rock. i'm such a girl. (for real)

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know how to go about getting this guy to spawn in The Barrens? I want to tame him for my pet for my hunter.

Edited, Dec 9th 2006 10:30pm by HyenaHermit

Commento di Allakhazam

I thought I'd have to wait until I got my hunter character to a mid-20 level to tame a purple hyenna in Thousand Needles, so I was thrilled to find out about Snort! I went to 41,21 and waited around for a bit with no results. I turned on beast tracking and kept checking back, finally I hovered over his name between 2:05a and 2:10a EST (05/13/07). Tamed him with my level 17 hunter without any problems at all. Love him! Good luck!

Commento di Allakhazam

Ive been in barrens like a lot and ive never yet come across this one....ive tamed humar on two hunters,broken tooth on one and ive never actually seen this guy...well i guess i have to farm more.. xD

Commento di Allakhazam

This guy rox i got him this morning 1/28/07 at 8:12 (server time) aerie peak and he rox it PvP style he can take out a 13 pally (solo) 19 druid (bear form) and a 17 mage all while im using eyes of the beast he has a 2.00 atak speed but pure dmg makes up for wat is lost

Commento di Allakhazam

I got him on my lvl 20 hunter yesterday and herocks! He's better than my other pet, a currupted dreadmaw croc. To bad the he doesnt have the green stuff when u tame him(>_<).

Commento di Allakhazam

Purple Hyena, much like the Pesterhide Hyena in Thousand Needles. Want a purple Hyena but can't wait til lvl26-27? This is the Hyena for you.
