Every hunter has one! What rare have you been hunting mercilessly for ages, but still don't have yet?
<<King Krush hunter here. I'm ready to start crying lol.

Loque... Loque... I can find Gondria, I found and gave away Arcturis. I found KK back when I was too low to tame, and Spared him Death by DK with a Death by Hunter instead, I found and gave away Aotona (now that I'm somewhat interested in her...) I technically found skoll, even though I was AFK and didn't get to tame him... But I've only ever found Loque's corpse, or once while he was getting killed by a pally (Pally was innocent, and just simply killing him for the achievement, not cruelty or violence). So loque, definitely.

I'm a King Krush crier as well. I've had him killed out frmo under me twice now.

In fact, looking at this posting reminded me that I hadn't checked Sholazar in a bit. *zooms out for a whirl around* One day you will be mine, Fanged Lime...

For the longest time, it was loque (seen 2 other times since), I have him now.. (after over a year of off and on looking some days spending 8 hours and never even seeing him dead). Gondria (seen 4 times since).. took 3 days, arcturis (only seen once) took about 16 hours 8 hours straight 2 days in a row, and skoll (seen 5 times since) i let come to me, took about 3 months (searched hard for 2 weeks then let chance happen), but one day i was just doing the polar bear daily and just stumbled upon him.
I am A Krushing on the Krush just an hour ago.. npcscan went off and someone yells "GO GET 'EM KRUSH!!

" and of course.. I had JUST missed him, when I didnt want to find him.. I had seen him 4 times, now that I'm dying to find him (have had numerous dreams) He isnt showing!

makes me want to cry

seen him once dead.. heartbreaking.. anyways, that's my story.

Well to be totally honest... no one. I've tamed every rare I want without having to camp (excluding Aotona and Arcturis).
King Krush twice. One before 4.0 (solo tamed in one shot) and once post 4.0 just because I could NOT find someone else to tame him, I didn't want to kill, and I wanted to see how easy the tame was compared to my own.
Loque twice. Found him while camping Ao, then abandoned. Found the day after 4.0 again on a flyby.
Gondria three times. First time I clicked, the other times I didn't. It was sad but I've decided to leave her out of my stables permanently now and stick to the 'alive' version of my Shiboo.
Aotona once, I was very happy when I finally got her.
Skoll once, and he is still my favourite spirit beast. <3
Mosh twice. First time abandoned for a failed KK tame, and then I got him back after 4.0 <3
Arcturis once. I never really clicked and I abandoned him for The Beast pre 4.0. Now I've decided I want to get him again, so I have been sitting at his spawn point for about a week and a half now. I wouldn't say I am actively camping, nor would I say he is the 'token' rare that is avoiding me. I havn't been looking for months nor have I had him killed/stolen from under me (except for when I camped for him the first time..)
I do want Arcturis, especially since the harry potter geek in me wants my own Patronus, but I'm not stressing about this tame. I'm content with my stables, though he would be a nice addition.

Loque is definitely the one that seeks to elude me. I got Skoll within 10 minutes of setting up camp, Arcturis on my first day of actual camping that wasn't being disrupted by an Orc periodically landing and calling his tamed version out, I've seen Aotona a good 5 or 6 times, and King Krush once and tamed him. But Loque has been eluding me for weeks.

I've spent probably over 24 hours total camping Skoll over a period of about 3 days. I've seen his corpse once and that's it. I've offered a thousand gold to anyone who tells me when he spawns. I've been killed dozens of times by griefers and other campers. Not one of them has persisted in their search like I have. The respawn timer is completely nonsensical.
I'm pretty sick of this. All I wanted was a cool looking pet from the Spirit Beast family. This is a pretty petty way to keep certain things rare.

There aren't any that fit that for me right now. When I had the urge to get the Spirit Beasts I just camped each one for a day maximum. I can bet in Cataclysm though with Terrorpene and Madexx I'll have some competition.

I actually have all i wanted so far, except for the now Cata pets tho. The fireturtle, ashtail and so on.
Remember having spent 6 hours camping for Arcturis, and when I was about to exit, the 20sec logout, Arcturis spawned xD
Having all 4 spirit beasts, with Loque as the last i got.
My latest find, that i've been looking for, for some time is Uhk'loc, that i got for about 1 week ago

Was hunting Loque for a month straight in the Basin, with not even a corpse sighting. So I've resigned to just keeping an eye out for him when I go to get a new Oracles Egg from now on. If I find him, I find him. If not, I still have two other spirit beasts that I just love, so it's not a big deal.

My rare is a northrend mob but it's not one I'm setting out to tame.. It is an infamous time sucker that I'm sure many of you can already guess what is it by now.
Time-Lost Proto-Drake... Yup. Saw that coming didn't you?

Skoll was my first, took a few days of checking to find.
My hardest to tame was Loque-had four months of what felt like nonstop camping for him-only ever found him dead.
What was funny was I found him after I had given up and was flying by to go pick up one of the eggs from the Oracles. About five mins later I decided to check on Gondria just for the heck of it, and after all the time it took me to get to the other side of Northend I was pretty sure I wouldn't find her. Flew by and there she was. Got her on the same day.
I was pretty hyped. Got Arcticus a few days later while flying by and helping my lowbie hunter friend level in that area.
