I have spent a few days tracking this beast here are my observations:
Continent/Island: Zephras Isle
Subzone: Shadowgale Forest
Nearby Landmark: Ruins of Ban'Aethal
Spawn Point: 60.9, 35.2 +/- .2 (The Shadowgale Forest side of the eastern path into Ruins of Ban'Aethal. )
Pathing: Spawns at above location every time (8 total observed). Then heads west along the hillside with the large fallen tree that separates Shadowgale Forest from Ruins of Ban'Aethal. I tamed it once it past the western path leading into Ruins of Ban'Aethal it looked like it would have continued west further along the hillside. Also noticed after my tame that it can path north from spawn point over into Ban'Aethal but it does not path very far up that hill before it turns back to the path I just described.

Recorded Spawns Times: I did not record all spawn times initially I had some world resets and todays patch.
9/23/2006 1pm and 9:15pm
9/24/2026 10:40am, 4:21pm and again at 5:00pm.
So his spawn times are very irregular this maybe due to Beta and world refreshes. I can say he does not spawn with a fresh server start after patch or update.

At tame:
Beast lvl 13
Savage Rend Rank 1
Faster Attack II Passive: Increase Attack Speed by 25%
Attack Speed: 1.6000000238419
Movement Speed: 114%
Does Not retain its original name.

Note: After first training it will lose Savage Rend Rank 1 from the spell book. (Bug Maybe)

Of note he has a nasty Knockdown which interrupts Tame Beast. If solo I would recommend not taming him from the start, just agro him and eat the first knockdown, then as soon as you are able immediately use Tame Beast. The second Knockdown seems to be at a 20.5 second interval. Just enough time to possibly tame it, and will have enough juice left to try again should you take another KD. Solo its a tough tame, best just have a tank hold agro and you tame it in a party. Even with Conc Shot and Ice Trap that KD will still get you over the 20 sec duration tame.

Can confirm it does not spawn at any of the 7 normal Ursera (owl bear model) locations in the area
A 61.6, 37.5
B 59.8, 33.4
C 56.2, 31.7
D 54.9, 35.7
E 52.4, 41.6
F 54.3, 43.4
G 57.8, 43.5

Can confirm that Den'dralass the non-tamable rare elite does spawn randomly at any one of those 7 points.
Can confirm killing Den'dralass does not trigger Mystmane's spawn.

Hope this helps other hunters find and tame the beast with the fastest bear family attack speed.

EDIT:
Note this is Mystmane's spellbook at level 20. Note it gets Bite 3, Claw 3, and Swipe 1. Also note Savage Rend 1 is no longer in book. Savage Rend is typically a Raptor Only Ability and Mystmane. I did have Savage Rend on Shriekling Matriarch which is a feathered Raptor, which was my first pet tamed, had to let it go because I tamed The Rake and didn't have enough gold to buy the second stable slot at the time. That said I did pause for thought maybe it has to do with something along the lines both are feathered and maybe Mystmane is suppose to have Savage Rend as part of an avian crossbreed, or maybe its just a bug and not suppose to be there at all. I really don't know, but it did get me thinking so I ran some simulation numbers. Not going to post all the sim data but it comes down to this The Rake only gets bite and claw, but since it is an offensive pet with a 1.2 attack speed it still outperforms Mystmane on multi-target damage even though Mystmane as bite, claw, and swipe 3 target AoE. That is until you add in Savage rend on mystmane and then the gap closes, but not enough if you have a 1.0 attack speed cat. All in all for leveling and running dungeons Mystmane with its 3 attack abilities, higher defense mitigation, and AoE swipe with a 1.6 attack speed is probably one of the best pets to get early on, him and the Rake until you level high enough to get Broken Tooth at lvl 37 and his 1.0 attack speed. That said there are several other pets that as nice to grab for situational use at end game such as Tallstrider's Dustcloud with armor reduction which may be good for certain raid bosses, or the crocs heal reduction in PvP. I can say this we are going to need more stable slots than two for main pets and situational pets.

Read this post and then spent 3 hours hunting her. Unfortunately a Druid hit her out of my tame twice while also attempting to flee and apologize to me. I unfortunately died chasing Mystmane into a sea of black crows (as I like to call them) and came back to find her lying dead. I was so heartbroken and frustrated. It’s been about 9 years since I’ve played WoW and I forgot how hard it can be to obtain a rare pet. I hope to try again but also realize this is only the beta heh. Thanks again for putting this together.

I got him first try today as level 20 hunter. I took OP's advice and let him knock me down then spammed the tame button as I was getting back up. I was flashing red at the end of the channel but very very happy getting him first try after hours of camping. It's kind of funny because during leveling as a lowly level 11 hunter I saw him the first time I entered the area. Anyway, thanks so much for your efforts and the info!

First I want to thank you for all the work you’ve put into this! With that said, I found a VOD that seems to show the spawn as being the same coordinates as the top comment on Wowhead (60.0, 33.5). Is it possible there are two spawn locations for this mob?

Edit: I have personally witnessed it spawning at the same spawn point as Wrathborne documented, so I can say at a minimum there are 2 spawn points.

That location in the Video is the same for, the most part, as they one I listed. It's that far east path from the forest into the ruins. If you run to the top north of that path there is a normal Ursera that tracks around the Castle Tower and if you go south of that past there is an almost fat field with a small tree where another normal Ursera spawns just west of the area where you start running into humanoids you gather ears from for the quest at the far east cave. Mystmane basically spawns inbetween the normal ones middle of that path east of the fallen tree roots.

Camped this bear for a good chunk of the weekend and can confirm the knockdown-into-tame trick is the way, that flashing red channel had me sweating. Two spawn points wouldn't shock me either, rares like this have always loved to keep hunters guessing. Grats to everyone who landed him already, he's a great add to the stable.

Got him today at 3.38pm EST at the co-ords above. Thank you for all the information.

So I have sat around while working for a few days and killed the North Eastern most Shadowgale Ursera on spawn.

Yesterday I ran the loop and killed every Ursera on cooldown and made it back before it would spawn the first one in the NE corner where the coords say it should spawn, and I saw someone killing it once as I got here for the first time.

Unsure if something is missing from the equation. Seen several Den'dralass, only at the NE and then the one just down the hill right by the humanoids outside of the cave though.

Is there something tied to total amount of rares spawned in the zone or some new tech? I've been at this spot with no layer swaps for several 8 hour chunks with no luck.


UPDATE:

If anyone is having issues with the tame, I too was having issues. I believe there is some interaction between how many rares can be spawned within a zone on a single layer. I spent hours camping the spawn location and killing the bears that would show up ever 12ish minutes. No spawn. I spent ~8 hours doing a loop around the area and killing each bear that spawned, making it back to mystmane's spawn before the 10-12 minute mark, rarely really seeing any other players.

I was wondering if the reason I wasn't seeing it was because of other rares, so I eagle eye'd to check other rare spawns, and sure enough another rare was up. Tel'daeor the Stormspeaker. I go and kill him, check mystmane for anther two kill cycles on the north eastern most bear. Nothing. Eagle eye and keep checking rares, sure enough- Galemender Delanea was up, so I go to kill her. Eagle eyes around to check the other spawns, no spawns. Nearing the respawn timer for the bear in the coords of mystmane, I run back and see mystmane patrolling.

I think something is tied to rare spawns in the zone.

I had Savage rend and Faster Attack II of course, managed to use savage rend until i learned the ability, hoping to keep it. Logged out and it was gone but I had kept Faster Attack II.

Good luck hunting!

I saw him this morning. I'd logged off by his spawn point yesterday. I logged in for a moment before and after last night's raid in retail. This morning I logged on and glanced over at the monitor now and then while doing workstuff on the work laptop. I killed the nearby owlbears as they spawned. After maybe an hour Mystmane spawned, 3 minutes after I'd killed the nearby bear. I happened to look over just as he appeared.

I didn't realize that he likes to patrol down and kill other mobs in the area. In the moment it took me to turn to the work laptop to log out of a system and turn back to my computer, he was already attacking one of the derpravens down the hill from his spawn. I shot it, just to kill it faster so that I could get aggro and try to tame.

I tried 3 times. The first two I had to break off and run to reset him, because he managed a second knockdown before I could complete taming and my health was getting too low. I'd hit tame right after the first knockdown. The third time I almost made it. There was under a second left on the tame when he killed me. I couldn't really devote any more time to it when I was supposed to be working, so I had to give up. I'll try again when Forever actually releases.

My hunter is only level 16. I figure a few more levels and she'd have the health to survive the tame, assuming there wasn't a double knockdown.

This is exactly right! I killed Galemender Delanea, which spawned Tel'daeor the Stormspeaker. Killed Tel'daeor and Mystmane spawned. I was able to get him to spawn about 4 times in ~45 minutes for me and a few other hunters camping. Only issue I ran into was the 4th time had Den'dralass spawn first then Galemander Delenea then Mystmane popped for us. Good luck!

Hi, everyone.
I have several add-ons that indicate the Swipe (Level 2) ability couldn't be learned at this time under any circumstances.
For Beastmasters, it said the level 24 bears in the Hillsbrad Foothills zone.
I went there and tamed the bear that was listed as having Swipe Level 2.
I spent over two hours killing it, but it wouldn’t teach me the ability.
But this afternoon, I went back to keep killing the bear in case it might teach me Swipe Level 2, and after 30 minutes, it did.
That way, I was able to teach my pet, Mystmane, Swipe Level 2.
