Excellent descriptions of known spawn points so far:

Two alli hunters guarding the metal disk point, another alli hunter guarding the Harpy point. Now if I can only stay awake hovering outside the snowdrift cave for the next few hours... :)

I had looked for him for a grand total of 39hrs. and 30-45mins. I knew of other hunters getting him over the past couple of days, and all of them were taming him at the spawn point in the Foote Steppes above the village (Titan coords 46, 65), same place I ended up taming him after all that time. For additional screenshots, visit Ladye E's blog at Guild Portal. I uploaded a few of him in beastial wrath. He's massive!

Titan Panel Coords: 46,65 (above Brun. Village), 11:27-ish PM Alaska Time/ 2:27-ish AM server time.

Happy hunting!

I was able to tame Skoll on the Velen server on August 4th @ 7 PM, at coords 45.62, the one right above Brunnhildar Village. He literally spawned in front of me as I was going through my bags making room for more borean leather as I waited this bad boy's arrival. Now, I am constantly inundated with questions from ppl on my server asking me where I acquired him and what type of pet is he? *FYI, he is a Rare Elite level 80 Ferocity pet and can only be tamed/utilized while in the BM spec*.

From other sites, I believe that Skoll's respawn timer is 6 hours. Other coords I have been told he spawns at are
29.50
46.65
30.64

I hope this information proves useful to other hunters in search of this guy. My only problem now is that I need more stable slots in case any more spirit beasts or other "must have" pets are released in upcoming patches, lol. In my stable, I currently have (in order of acquisition)
Ghost Saber, Loque'nahak, Gondria, Sentry Worg & Skoll.
Good luck and happy hunting!

Tamed him at 30.2, 64.7.

Comment by Rikaku

Skoll is pretty noticeable as a pet in the Hunter community. There's no real confirmation on his spawn time, from my own experiences it took well over 32 hours for him to spawn on my realm (after going live). There are plenty of reports where he spawns again in a reasonable time though, so if you're planning to camp him, keep in mind that he is a rare spawn and that these guys do not generally have a specific timer you can just set a clock to.

Anyways, some useful notes about Skoll:

He does retain the lightning effect around his body when tamed. This lightning is also audible when idle.
He does have a unique sound compared to regular worgs, but it is not as loud as Loque'nahak. It is much more subtle.
He is also larger than a standard saber worg; he doesn't shrink much when tamed.
He comes with Claw and Prowl (and the obvious Spirit Strike ability). No Furious Howl, no Bite.

Found him at Bor's Breath, just southeast of the village with the plagued drakes. The following is a macro that I used to track Skoll, though there are helpful addons such as ESN Rare and NPC scan which may be more helpful to others.

/tar Skoll
/stopmacro
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Illidan\\BLACK_Illidan_04.wav")

This particular macro will play Illidan's "You are not prepared!" line when it targets the spawn; I used it because it was loud and attention-grabbing (which will come in handy in the longer camping hours).

Map: (I did not make this map, it was provided by WoWKevin from this thread.

Good luck to all who camp!

Comment by Eyajin

Just found and tamed him at 9:45 pm server time, durotan, at the south snowdrift plains spot. Well worth the 2 days camped. Very awesome spirit beast, best of luck to those trying to tame him!

I Was the 3rd hunter on Korgath to tame Skoll. I did this with the help of the 1st hunter to tame skoll. Together we learned that.

Skoll DOES'NT share a timer with the Lost Drake and Other rare spawns in Storm Peaks.

We camped Skoll, then Came back shortly after and saw Vyragosa.

Comment by Amrasillias

As this wolf is a spirit beast, he will not only eat meat but also fish. All the other attributes of a spirit beast apply as well so he can claw, prowl and do spirit strike

It is classed as exotic and can therefor only be tamed by BM hunter's with the Beast Mastery talent. When using dual spec, this wolf cannot be used as MM or Surv hunter so it stays in it's stable. You won't lose your exotic pet.

Comment by WoWkevin

New Spirit beast in 3.2!..

Skin: Blue wolf with lightning effects.

Name: Skoll

Tameable: Yes

Hostile: Yellow for both ally and horde a.k.a Neutral mob.

Location: Storm peaks

Amount of spawn places: 3 known so far.

Exotic: Yes

Pet Family: Spirit beast

____________________________________

I can confirm that the Spirit beast named Skoll does not share respawn time with Vyragosa and by that not with TLPD ( Time lost proto drake ) neither.

Vyragosa killed and found: 14:56

Skoll found and tamed: 17:42

Both is realm time..

Suggestions:

Download the addon: _Npcscan
Reason: This addon will give you a raid warning and a achievment lookin bar with the portrait of the mob when its around you, this means you do not have to spam a macro or anything to target it, you can stay afk, and when the rare is within range of your characters sight, you get a warning and a sound will be played ( loud )..

spawn locations:
Map
It may be more, but these is the 3 known ones and confirmed a found.

But: Me and my friend found both at same places, above Brunnhildar village.

Update 08/08/2009!...

I forgot to mention.

Its a wolf but its not kind of a wolf,
Since this pet got

Spirit Strike

Prowl

Claw

I find this pet very unique since its the only Wolf with prowl.
But stil, the pet miss some abilities as a wolf.
Such as:

Bite

Furious Howl

The fact that a Wolf without Furious howl, ain't good.
But it seems that we got more positive sides out of this Wolf that others.

Update 09/08/2009!...

Just tamed Skoll, still shaking. Server, Lothar at 14:45 hours server time. Location 46.65.

Comment by arcteras

Just got him 12am ST on Dragonblight EU

Snowdrift Plains 28, 51

Word of warning: Very cool pet but the electrical fizzing noise he makes is becoming kinda tiresome and I've only had him for 40 minutes. I'm on the look out for an addon which mutes it - if anyone knows of one or can write one, please post a link :)

(What's with all the downrated comments? People are posting potentially useful information about spawn points/ times. Okay, spawn times are random but even so, patterns may emerge which could come in handy. I'm not posting this to gloat, I'm posting it in the hope it will help others).

Comment by Rielwyntar

Tamed around 10:20 pm server on Ysera at the spawn point at 46,65.

He didn't seem to move more than 30 yards in any direction from where he spawned.

Edit - not sure why someone downranked this since I'm trying to provide helpful info on how far he paths from his spawn point

Comment by Faelan

Tamed Skoll on Slivermoon at 30.2 64.6. Took me 3hrs of flying around. 1:23am sever time. Good Luck Fellow Hunters!

Comment by PWOMatrix

The 3D version of Skoll, on this web site, isn't all that great. It doesn't show the lightning effects that it has. And that's cool that they added 3, so far, spawn points for it.

Comment by mgaroz

Tamed this beauty as Nayki on Uther a few hours after the patch went live, presumably server 1st, at the 27,7 location

Comment by Svafa

In Norse mythology, the aspects of the sun and moon are pursued through the sky by two wolves. Skoll is the wolf that pursues the sun and, at the onset of Ragnarok, will finally catch and devour it.

Skoll's brother, Hati, will do the same to the moon.

Comment by cattracks

I was actually leveling my warlock when a guildy informed me that he had seen the cat Gondria, after popping over and taming him, I had a wild hunch and went searching the locations of http://huntsmanslodge.com/images/skoll_spirit_beast_spawn_map.jpg

Lo and behold, I found him right when I flew over the pass south of snowdrift plains. NPCscan found him, and using a modified target macro id made for Loque'nahak to verify ( just in case it was a shadow melded NE hunter...)

Talk about luck... in less than 5 minutes I tamed 2 rare spirit beasts, since I already have loque from a VERY extensive and intensive hunt I currently have all the rare "cats"

Yes, when I saw him I froze inside, Took me what felt like ages to land off course of aggro, drop freeze trap and find where id hidden my tame beast, lol.

Comment by 440541

The picture doesn't do him justice, in the picture you can see what looks like sparks, well those sparks crackle all through him.
I stumbled on him by mistake while gathering leather, he was in a tree and blended in very well.
The map is correctly marked in each spot, I found him shortly after the servers came up 2:00pm EST, and he hadn't respawned at 3:40am because everyone was going nuts, for him.
I was still in the area at that time; gathering leather when I saw a friend and stopped to chat, I was getting bombarded by "go away this is my spawn spot", "I am going to report you if you don't leave", and hordies were getting pets and naming them stupid names to tell me to go away. All I can think is, what idiots, I already have him, what am I going to do with a second one, I am hunting leather and chatting with a friend. /sigh
He is an awesome pet with a sweet look, but be ready for some rude competition, and put on your thick skin.
He is yellow, so will not aggro till you start to tame him, BUT; people will kill him out of spite (saw several threats of that made).
He also has all of the skills a spirit beast does, meaning he has Spirit Strike as well as Prowl and his focus dump is Claw.
He really doesn't shrink in size much either, he is a pretty big boy.
Another important thing: These beasts are exotic! In order to tame them, you must have the 51-point Beast Mastery talent.

When I got to town and went into the bank, I was instantly spammed with "what is that", "where did you get it", "how long did it take", and a million more questions, so be ready to answer till his new wears off.

I found him in the spot outside Valkyrion after a lot of time camping since patch day... start the tame, and then a rogue came and killed it in front of me... man...
