Tame one at level 16+ and your pet learns Claw Rank 3 through Beast Training (about a 10% learn chance per use). Eleven spawn points across Loch Modan, ~5 minute respawn, 2.0 attack speed.
Where to find it
Eleven spawn locations across Loch Modan - the densest clusters are east of Thelsamar and up the northeast hills.

FAQ
Why is everyone taming this bear?
It's the lowest-level mob in the game that knows Claw Rank 3 - on a fresh WoW Forever server it's the first real pet-skill upgrade most hunters pick up.
What level do I need to be?
16 - you must be at least the beast's level to tame, and the pet keeps its own level (16-17).
