Thread: One ultra-rare per planet?

In the case of the Great Plains Stalker, Wild Dune Boar and the Mire Marauder, they are all single spawns right around CL 50.

I hear talk of it, but I am actually not that familiar with the Swamp Stalker. I understand it is not as strong, but it does have the same unique behavior as the two Corellian-system cats.

Do Widows spawn alone? If not, I would say they are not the ultra-rare. Good, really rare, but not the same unique spawn. I believe the Bull Rancor and Graul are like the Widow.

Not a lot of people spend time on Rori, so that could be why none have been found. The advanced planets may not have any at all. Or they could be things that are not tamable such as the Gorax.

Bull Rancor and Great Plains Stalkers are the rarest pets to tame.


Frenzieds Grauls are still out there and can be bought if you find an old master ch who has retired or wants to sell. For this reason I dont put the frenzieds as ultra rare like the Bull or Plains Stalker.


Praying for a ch revamp soon

I'd say (with reason in parenthesis):



  • Corelia = Great Plains Stalkler (single, static spawn)

  • Dantooine = Thune Grassland Guardian (single, static spawn - but if Frenzied Grauls come back, they take the prize)

  • Dathomir = Bull Rancor (high level baby rarity)

  • Endor = Arachne Widow (high level baby rarity)

  • Lok = (unknown)

  • Naboo = Swamp Stalker (haven't hunted these yet, but assume single, static spawn)

  • Rori = (unknown)

  • Talus = NONE (but if the Devs make Mire Marauder's tamable, then it would take the prize)

  • Tatooine = Wild Dune Boar (single, static spawn)

  • Yavin = (unknown)

Those marked as "(unknown)" are because I haven't hunted on those planets in MONTHS - so the creatures/spawns could be very different from the last time I was there (pre-last creature changes).

that's becauseTHEY'RE BOSS SPAWNS. many people don't bother to kill them so they just wander around aimlessly until they die. the game doesn't automatically delete boss spawns under normal circumstances.

This is probably the list I'd agree with most, having gone out and looked for all thesecreatures. I spent this past weekend looking for a Swamp Stalker (Yes, they are a single static spawn), went through 3 full spawns, and on the fourth, the first respawn spawned a baby.

They're decently rare since adults are somewhat hard to find, but baby spawn rates don't seem to be astronomically ridiculous like Bull Rancors.

Nope, I still argue the swamp stalker is not rare. Uncommon, maybe, but only on the level of the wasteland. It just seems to be a matter of finding the spawn, and you'll pretty much get a baby. When not only do just about any rare-hunter CH's have one, but in several cases have multiples, then that takes it off the rare list for me. I wouldn't say it was any more rare thatn the rhoa kwi pack leader, and we all know that just barely makes the list.

i think certain servers tend to favor certain rares, depending on player city locations and server functionality.


no one on Lowca even knows what a wild dune boar is. and whenever i pull out my swamp stalker, people always ask where i got it. of course the bull rancor and great plains stalkers are rare. as for the widow, deaths head, gaping queen, and screecher...all are still rare on Lowca. i have not seen any tamed besides mine, FuzzyTeddy's, and my friend ruslech. and now the couple i gave to Kryygarrr. thats 3 master CHs who have most of the rares. thats all. im sure there are a couple more tamed that i dont know of, but still. if theres less than a dozen tamed on any server, thats considered very rare in my books.

Going back to the rare list for Naboo for just a moment..... okay, I KNOW it's not tamable, but I have been playing this game since October and have yet to see a Peko-Peko Albatross. I am sure it will kill my butt as fast as any krayt, but ..... *shrug* .....I have looked in all the reported locations for hours. Nada. Nothing.

If its the same on other servers, go to Lake retreat and head about 2500m east. That's where my old town was and we had albatross spawning there on a regular basis.
