    I love this pet, As soon as I got him I saw his armour, just under 600 (599) at level 11 unmoded. I think Scorpids are the best pets as they get a bonus to armour, and with their poison they hardly lose any damage due to their -6%. I've found that it can hold great aggro, and as long as I've had it it has been a great help.

    I just got a Scorp. Reaver from Thousand Needles. My first scorpion and I'm impressed, I turned off growl since poison2 is enough to keep aggro. I'm going to keep him for instances and use my wolf for PvP. When I hit 35 will go for the elite scorp. in Thousand Needles.

    Alright I'll preface this with a simple set of instructons for finding him.

    Head west out of Razor Hill along the road.

    As you come to the bridge head south.

    On your left will be the brambles of a Razormane site, and on your right the river.

    you'll find two outcroppings of rocks (one those jagged spire ones you cant climb, the other that flatish boulders) he spawns and wander around these two in a meandering path that sometimes takes him towards the river.

      What I do is sit on top of the flattened boulders with beast track on and wait to spot him. It may take a few times if you do this at lvl 11 because of scorpion and raptors adds. But he is worth it. He is the fastest scorp and teaches claw 2 and scorp poison.
    (if you get in trouble you can run and hide within the spire rocks and nothing can get you found that out today)

    Reasons to get Death Flayer:
    He's got a wisked attack speed for a tank pet 1.6 I believe
    He has amazing armor.
    He looks really cool.
    And scorpid poison stacks, and it can really mess up enemies quickly.

    Tip if you are PvPing against a target that can cure poison slap them with a serpents sting as well .. they will have to remove all charges of scorpid poison before able to removing your shot. Neat hunh.

    I've been very happy with Death Flayer (Clampy).

      I'm very confused with my pets .  i have death flayer level 35 and humar level 31 and have taught them skills that i have gotten from the beast trainer and have also taught them skill that i learned from taming wild animals, but their original skills will not upgrade to to the next rank.  the beast trainer doesn't have them. the skills aren't in my spellbook, and they aren't in the beast training options.  i want to fill my third pet slot,but i'm going to get pissed at this game if i have to hold that slot open until levels 60-70 so i can go capture pets that know the final rankings of scorpid poison and claw.  My friend's lv 31 turtle learned bite rank 4 even though it started with bite rank 3.  could this be a glitch or something.  thottbot and pettopia.brashendeavors.net states that scorpids learn poison rank 2 at 24.i know for some cases like with arikara you need to teach it lightning breath 3, but i thought that once you teach a pet something you would get the option to get to higher ranks from there  I would like to know if pets are actually supposed to learn higher ranks on their own or if my pets are just messed up somehow.  Any help that you or anyone else can give on this post is greatly appreciated.

      I read all this about Death Flayer and decided I had to have him.  I was a level 16 and had an Armored Scorp who was pretty darn good with no training.I figured this might be the guy for me.

      I found him right away and it wasn't love at first sight...in fact he killed me.  I ran back and lucked out to find him right where I left him.  He was still pretty ticked but he decided he liked me just before he killed me the second time.

      I took him over to Crossroads and went up to the Stagnant Oasis with him.  He just leveled everything in sight.  My Armored scorp couldn't hold a candle to this bad boy.  At one point we had two Centaurs, their dog and then I got hit from behind by another Centaur.  I died.  When I got back he'd finished all four of them off by himself.  I was impressed.

      My first scorp was named Fluffy because I thought it was funny.  I was going to call him Fluffy as well but decided that he really needed respect so his name is Reaver because that's what he does...he cuts them down.

      Compared to the boar my Taurean uses, Death Flayer and the other scorps are slow to get to the target but he does so much damage its worth it to have to go a little slower.  Also I can set him on one target, shoot it once and then turn to another while he polishes off the first one.  He is now a level 18 and was taken down level 21 beasts by himself when he was only a 17.

      He's worth getting and he's pretty cool looking as a bonus.  :)

        So you say your Scorpid killed all the centaurs all by himself when you were dead? Obviously, you haven't played as a hunter long enough to realize that when a hunter dies, his/her pet disappears and can't kill crap. I would be impressed if that could happen, too, but someone else must have killed them while you were dead.

        BTW Scorpids are amazing pets!!!!! I have never tamed Death Flayer, but I currently have a golden scorpid by the name of StingOfDeath who completely owns. He was one of the scorpids wandering around near the Alliance town in Desolace (I forget what he was called in the wild).

    All right, after reading all the posts and looking on petopia, supposedly this thing is supposed to be easy to find.  Yet I just spent the last hour looking up and down the river between durotar and the barrens (exactly where everyone says it is supposed to be) and have found nothing but corrupted scorpids.  Does anyone know if they changed the location of him after the 2.0 patch?  Or if not, then what his respawn rate is?  Maybe someone got there before me, but still you would think in an hour he would respawn.  Any advice would be great, coords where you might have found him, whatever you can give me.  Cause I really would like to have this thing as my new pet.

    I posted oh so long ago about the amazingness of deathflayer under a different account name, but as i dont log into thottbot all that often, I forgot my account so here I am anew.

    Scorpids are amazing, and their ability to stack their poisons makes them a realy evened out pet. While they supposedly loose out on DPS and gain in armor, they make up for with said poison, so they are actualy better then normal your "average" stat pet like a Hyena or Wolf.

    However now that all attackspeeds are equal (a retarded idea in my mind as it makes the fun of taming rare's pointless, though it is nice to not have to camp spawns for hours on end) Deathflayer himself is nerfed, and for sake of ease you might as well tame a normal scorpid and raise them like any other pet.

    it is a real shame because in my mind, it made deathflayer the best pet in the game, bar none, even over the dreaded Broken tooth, because although Brokentooth had 1.0 attack speed, he had nothing on flayer's armor and therefore tankability, which is realy what a hunter pet is for. Deathflayer WAS the fastest of the tanks at 1.6 and could deal more damage then any other tank because of that speed and his poison. 

    HOWEVER, as a hunter, who has tried ALL of the original WoW pets, I do have to say that above any other tank, I choose scorpid everytime. While crabs are nice because they have the ability to resist some mage spells well, or did I havent check with BC yet, scorpids still pown them.

    Leveling a pet is pretty easy. Pets require about half the XP that you do to get level. They earn about the same XP per kill as you do before rest bonus. The XP earned it based on the HUNTER's level. If the hunter doesn't earn XP (green, yellow, orange, or red) then the pet will not either. If you are level 70 and want o tame a level 1 wolf (no idea why, but you can if you want) you would need to take him to outlands to get XP (can you say aggro magnet? I knew you could). With rest bonus, a pet earns roughly 25% more XP (rather than double). !!!PETS DO NOT EARN XP FOR QUESTS!!! If you happen to be twinking a toon to the a x9 level, remeber that tidbit or you won't get your pet to x9 before you hit X9+1.

      Hands down, Scorpids are the best pet in the game in my opinion. I hear from people about eh DPS of a cat versus the scorpids, but when you add the DPS of the scorpid, add in the fact that their poison stacks and ultimately will inflict up to 55 damage every 2 seconds in addition to their normal DPS, they defintiely outweigh a cat or ravager. Now add in the fact that their armor is better, and that means you'll spend less mana healing your pet against say, a high level elite, and you can spend more time attacking and using that mana towards arcane shots or stings. and the person before me is right, they work great against rogues cause the poison doesn't allow the rogues to stealth back out of sight right away. of course, most rogues can pawn a hunter in about 5 seconds flat, but a good hunter can use scatter, concussive shots, etc to slow a rogue down enough to get some distance.

      Definitely highly recommended, i'm a 70 NE hunter, have had almost every pet their is, and i'll take my scorpid any day of the week. although, not having dash does suck, but i'm willing to overlook that cause they do such a great job.
