The Time-Lost Proto-Drake is a rare spawn mob in the Storm Peaks of Northrend that drops the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake. The "Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake" allows you to summon the Time-Lost Proto-Drake as a mount. This mount is one of the most rare and desirable mounts in World of Warcraft due to the exceptional difficulty in finding it. The mob is on a very long respawn timer and shares a cooldown with another rare spawn in the zone, so it may take you a very long time to find this mount. It is important to know where to look and what to do in order to increase your chances at finding The Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

Information about the Time-Lost Proto-Drake is primarily based upon what World of Warcraft players have found out through experience. Little information has been confirmed by GM'S but most of the techniques for finding the Drake are based on the compiled experiences of players and are subject to error.

Information:

• The Time-Lost Proto-Drake shares a spawn point and path with Vyragosa. Vyragosa and The Time-Lost Proto-Drake cannot spawn at the same time, so you should kill Vyragosa when you see it.
• The Time-Lost Proto-Drake is on a long spawn timer. You will most likely need to be very patient. Some people find him right away and some people have hunted for many months without being able to find and kill him. It is very competative so be prepared for when you see him.

Maps I found online:

• Map 1
• Map 2
  

Useful Extras:

• Use NPCScan Addon so that you can do something else while waiting for the drake to appear. Make sure the sound is working so you will be alerted when he is spotted.
• Have Snowfall Lager (or another slow fall) ready so you do not die when tagging the drake and falling.

Prepare your NPCScan addon and slowfall.  Study the flight paths seen in the links to the maps.  Decide where you will camp or fly.  Fly or camp yourself, or NPCScan and let it run while you are in listening distance.  Be prepared to fight as soon as you see the Drake!
