Dragonhawks are soon going to be a tameable beastie in the Burning Crusade. There are low-level ones in Eversong Woods (blood elf 1-10 zone) and high level ones in Tempest Keep and Shadowmoon Valley.
They have brightly colored skins (the ones seen so far are orange and a pink-reddish).
Petopia has more info.
Picture:  which you can see the full picture of here.
Yeah, well - There's always thoose windserpents. They fire lightning bolts :) though, there CSP pets or whatever there still good at 70. Especially against bosses like Gruul and Void Reaver.

Regardless of raf0419's comment that the Eversong Woods Dragonhawks' STA, STR, and AGL are "way higher" than their SPI and INT, Petopia, which is generally a very reliable resource, does identify them as "caster pets." See: http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/families/family_dragonhawk.shtml
For more information on how Petopia defines "caster pets," see: http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/articles/stats_casters.shtml
I recently tamed an Eversong Woods Dragonhawk, and it is a strikingly beautiful pet. At the current low level of my hunter, it works just fine for me. But, if Petopia is correct, I will regret keeping this pet when I get to higher levels.
EDIT:
I decided to compare the BASE specs of my dragonhawk at level 10 to a similar level 10 mob that I tamed. The differences, at least at level 10, don't seem very significant. (Yes, the fleshripper's base armor is 22% higher that the dragonhawk's and it has 3% more health, but the dragonhawk's DPS is 13% higher than the fleshripper's and it also has a little AoE fire breath attack).

I went alone at lvl 15 walking to get my dragonhawk. I followed directions given here. I died many times and it took a few hours. At light's hope I did ask for a escort the rest of the way and got help to finish my walk. I had no problem at all walking in the portal. My armor was indeed red and as soon as I got it I hearthed.

There is a portal in the ruins of Lorderon just in front of Undercity
FYI, that teleports you into the deepest part of Silvermoon City. You would have to die/rez at least a good 50? times in order to even get out of the city.
? by Trishore, Score -0.65
Caster debate aside, the Dragonhawk is a very aesthetically pleasing pet, and many folk would doubtlessly want one. Horde can get this pet easily thanks to the Zeppelins and teleporting stone in the Undercity. Alliance have a somewhat more trying time. Yesterday I went about getting my new Draenei Hunter his, and I will outline how to get there with minimum time/deaths:
Step One: Menethil Harbor
All you have to do is take a boat from Darnassus/Exodar for our Nelfs and Draenei, or take the tram and run from Ironforge for our Dwarves, Gnomes, and Humans. Once here, the real fun begins...
Step Two: Swim to Southshore
If you are going for fastest trip, you can avoid the raptors of Arathi all together, or not if you want the flight points. I would suggest swimming along the wetlands coast to the Eastern Strand. This is the fun part: Let the first naga on the eastern strand kill you. You will spawn in Southshore, get the flight point, and continue on.
Step Three: Take the River to EPL.
This part can be really easy or incredibly annoying depending on horde traffic. The river flowing north from Southshore is almost devoid of aggroable enemies. Near Alterac there are a few bears, but they are completely avoidable if you have your wits about you. Once inside the WPL, smply follow the shore to bridge road where the EPL and WPL connect...
Step Four: Corin's Crossing
Here is where the many deaths begin. No matter what you do, you will aggro several things by time you get to Corin's Crossing. The Key here is to get as far through it as possible to spawn at Light's Hope Chapel. My suggestion is to keep to the road until you hit Corin's Crossing, then head along the outer reaches of town towards Tyr's Hand. Worked pretty well for me.
Step Five: Light's Hope - Ghostlands
This is the hardest part. After getting the flight point at Lights Hope, you must hoof it all the way to teh Ghostlands through 58+ enemies. My suggestion is the run (and pray) your way towards the nearby Capturable tower and stick to the dried out river. You can take this path to the road just north of Corin's Crossing, then make your way up to the Ghostlands via the road. You will die, but if you are lucky you can make it there with minimal interference. Be mindful of Borelgore, The Scarlet Messenger, and the Scourge Siege Engineer just before the instance portal for the Ghostlands.
Step Six: The Ghostlands
Now that your main troubles are over, it is time to take on the Ghostlands. Aside from horde ganking, this area is *mostly* a since to pass through. Simply follow the road through the giant gate system and north until you begin heading up the hill to Tranquillian. Do not follow the road when you get to this point, instead follow the cliffs to the left of the Horde Town until you are once again at teh road, then simply run north once more.
Step Seven: The Dragonhawk!
Once you cross the river, you are in Eversong and, happily, there are Dragonhawks immediately once you enter. Just pass the Belf house (Beware the undead quest mob outside it) and BAM!, level 7-9 Dragonhawks just ready to tame. Get yours and get out! Hearth, Run back the way you came, or whatever, but any farther north you will consistently run into trouble with quest npcs and city guards.
Wrapping It Up:
I got both the orange cat as well as my dragonhawk by hearthing to Ironforge then flying back to EPL and repeating. They can be found deeper inside Eversong, but without escorts you probably will die a lot more than I did. Escorts, particularly a 55+ Warrior (for aggro control) and Priest (for ressing)make this trip much easier. Don't forget that you can always grab more flightpoints along the way and get a jump upon travel for later in the game.
I did this quest for my Dragonhawk at level 12.
I died twice before EPL: once at the Eastern Strand, once from a horde outside Tarren Mill.
I died eight times in EPL, three times on the way to Corrin's Crossing, once at Corrin's Crossing, and four times on my way between Light's Hope and the Ghostlands (Mostly due to timing on Borelgore and The Scarlet Messanger)
Good Luck!
-Encartian - Arthas Server
You could just get some of your guildies to go to ghostlands and summon you. Takes out that whole process : / Doesn't take that long either.
That would be nice, but... it doesn't work. They will rez you, but they will do so at the graveyard you showed up in. Good idea, but it doesn't work.
I agree absolutely! a dragonhawk was my first choice of a pet when i started a BE hunter and i don't regret it to this day! -L68 BE hunter

they are in the Blood Elf area and they are great. I got mine at lvl 10 and he was 7 now we are 25 and 24. Best pet that I have ever have. At 16 I train him with +32 re stance to all types of spell and over 1100 points of armor. Very tough.
Yes they start out with only 6 dmg with fire breath but every lvl or so the dmg increases, I have a BE hunter lvl 21 and my pet is 20 and he does 40 dmg over 2 seconds and it also hits for about 20 dmg doing a total of around 60 dmg, it's awsome.
Dragonhawks at low levels are only found in Eversong Woods, which is the Blood Elf starting area.
Alliance have Ravagers which can be found in Azuremyst Isle which is the Draenei starting area.
Die in orgrimmar. Take the zeppelin to UC. spirit run to eversong woods. rez at a spirit healer. tame. flee.
and before you nubs say "omg wtf you cant do that you'll get ported back" you actually can (as of patch 2.0.8). it seems if you die then change islands then you are entitled to rez wherever the fob you feel like :)

ment to say mushu as in the small red dragon from Mulan
You cannot reach eversong with simply swimming the complete way. If yoy dont go trough the portal you wil simply stay in the old world. The map wil say that your in eversong but the only thing you see is a lot of water. ( to much water) But the funny thing is that there is a litle place with some remains of the old wow silvermoon ( A verry huge tower an a destroyt dock.) get the pet later an im SO happy with my litle dragon!
Exactly ^^. Why does everyone post these "run here... avoid that" ways to get to a certain area. If you want to go somewhere way past your level just get killed and use the spirit healer in that new zone. Don't rez at a different area in the same zone you will be at the closest GY to where you died. You can use boats, zeppelins, and portals while dead.

Make life easy on yourself use Coordinates! simple as that. Its allowed and it is not cheating, why are you looking here anyway. Just download SimpleMiniMap from WoWace.com and you are all set. You will never have to ask for noncoordinate directions again.

NOTE!:People think that flame breat only does 6 dmg ova 2 secs but on petopia.com it states that it gets scales with level
He's right, plus the tooltip isn't very good. It actually always does much more damage than what the tooltip shows. Because it hits with three ticks, and the attack gets 1 more damage per tick per level, this ability becomes quite powerful. I wouldn't worry too much about breaking sheep since it's "AoE" is of very limited ranged. With the good damage, excellent attacks, and the ability to dive, he makes a great PvP pet since health and armor don't really matter in PvP (most people don't outright attack pets)
I have fallen in love with mine, I actually use him more than my Ravager!
That's completely a lie. Every kind of pet ends up with the same amount of training points at the same level. You may have to unlearn the pet's skills (some come with innate skills that cost Training Points) but they will be the same.
Misinformation is bad.
does anybody know where a night elf can actually get a dragonhawk ( if so please tell me ) thanks
I hate people that totally forget about dwarf hunters...
Well I dont think that intellect actually boosts dmg (it only boosts mana and crit cahnce, but maybe thats wot u meant). If you want to do well using a caster pet (Ive got a lock, just made a hunter, and I assume the sharing of stats is similar) get lots of +spelldmg yourself, and lots of intellect if you want pet to have lots of mana. In facct I asssume caster pets benefit more than any other from a hunters attributes. Cos if a hunter wants imba dps its best to have some +spellpower (good agility of course as well), and +intellect gear because this gives you a bigger crit chance and mana. Most hunters (unless they are survival I assume) will not want +strength, which is the only stat really useful for melee dps pets (of course sta as well, but sta comes with much gear). This measn your key stats will boost your caster pets main stats, whilst other pets (non casters) will not need the same stats you need and not benefit so much from your imbaness. Therefore although melle pets may on average have originally better health and dps to begin with (discounting abilities) there is less scope for you to improve them by getting yourself good gear, whilst the greatness of your gear will probab;ly directly affect caster pet abilities.
I just made a BE hunter, anyone know how I can get bite and swoop to train him? Do I have to be bothered to walk Barrens and listen to that crap music? And for the love of God, buy the tiny red dragonhawk pet! they look cool together.
I mean the dragonhawk =P, forgive the seplling, dyslexia is a pain in my esra.
I have firebreath for my Dragon Hawk, but how do I get bite?
You stable it.
then go tame a beast that has Bite. after fighting with that pet for a lil while you should get a text saying something like this: You have learned a new spell: bite rank?? now you abandom that pet. go back to the stable and teach it to your dragon.
i wish i had one on my hunterbut theres a problem hes a dwarf
not a problem just a pain in the ass to get
Wow Some people are tards... here's how hunter sta's effect the pet.
Pets get about 30% of the hunter's stamina added to their stamina.
Pets get about 35% of the hunter's armor added to their armor.
Pets get about 22% of the hunter's ranged attack power added to their melee attack power.
Pets get about 12.5% of the hunter's ranged attack power added to their spell damage.
Pets get about 40% of the hunter's resistances added to their own resistances.
Hehe, I tried to go through undercity... though, on my server, there was nobody there... I walked in and out with nobody bothering me -- I woulda gotten away with it if it weren't for that low level undead running around outside that I just -had- to own.
I hva e a belf hunter on azshara and i have a crazed dragonhawk.
They are way better than cats these guys hit higher and are way cooler.
I like dhawks better than w serpents because dhawks r unique they own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^-^
They r kinda small when u tame them though...
Got my Dragonhawk also at lvl 7 or 8. Now lvl 44. It's a very good pet. Not to picky with the diet and better the firebreath is very handy... Crit's are good en very strong. Got the beastmaster spec so focus regenerates very fast and he can hold his own for a good time.... I'm very very happy with the pet....
If you want to get this as alliance, you should just get a higher level warlock to go to Eversong Woods, then get a summon, then tame, ????, Profit!
What do you thinik about this pet ?
I got my Dragonhawk, very pretty I love it SO MUCH...
Just wish I could train it a few more talents like screech for aggro, and claw for malee damage (incase I fight say fire elementals, who are IMMUNE to fire.).
But I guess that just means I'll have to have a second pet.
Great pet and nice looks, i got a ravager too and this one is just blizzards way of giving a new pet to the horde. But in general i prefer my ravager because of its armor and dps, if trained properly.
Pets all depend of your way of playing the game, the way it looks and how u want to be seen.
Have fun
r there ne tameable (non caster stat) lvl 65-70 ones?
and if so, where?
yea there are.
Eclipsion Dragonhawk
-lvl 67-68
-Shadowmoon Valley
-comes with Firebreath 2
and some others in places like The Botanica and Tempest Keep.
check Petopia
and by the way, my friend really wanted one and we are Alliance and i think we found the easiest way to get one. IF you have Burning Crusade just go die in Menethil or wherever the closest place to Eversong you can get(depending on what lvl you are) then run there as a spirit. I know its A LOT of running but my friend said it was worth it. Just follow the roads through both Plaguelands and the portal into Burning Crusade area is in the mountains in northern part of Eastern Plaguelands. you will come back to life when you run through and youl have to make your way through HORDE territory to eversong. PROBLY BEST TO HAVE A HIGHER LVL FRIEND WITH YOU
so sorry but all of the low lvl Dragonhawks are casters. the lowest lvl you can get a non caster dragonhawk is at 67 and in Shadowmoon Valley. sorry
Petopia has more info on "caster" stats
Got my dragonhawk as a lvl 10 hunter. Made a very dangerous journey to the eversong woods. I like it very much, very breath is now 103 per 2 seconds... It costs 50 focus to cast but as a beastmaster hunter focus replenishes itself very fast. Can take a lot of damage and i'm now lvl 58 and now for sure that he stays until the bitter end....

haha wow that sucks man. well at least you got it. for anyone else trying to get one me and my friend just died and ran there as ghosts. really easy after we figured that out
I did the long trip as a level 12 drae hunter with another hunter a mage and druid.. it took us about 1-3 hrs cause i being the smallest died alot.. once in BE starting point i couldnt get mine tamed ... once i got him tamed i stones out .. i went pvping with him at 19 didnt do to bad ... we are now ( me 23) and hes 22.. watching him grow has been the coolest thing ever when hes fire breathing started to work much better i sware i must have won the lottery or something cause i was like "yay" there cool pets ... to bad they have a bad rep cause there casers ...
If you want one talk to your guild and see if you can make a trip .
These things are awesome!!Fire breath that tight!
