Dark Whelpling



Dark Whelpling summons and dismisses Dark Whelping, a dragon whelpling companion that follows you around, meaning it is a non-combat pet and will not aid you in battle.

Source
Dark Whelpling drops from Scalding Whelps in the Badlands and from Searing Whelps in the Dustwallow Marsh. The Badlands is the place of choice as the Dustwallow Marsh whelps are mixed in with a lot of other mobs that don't drop the pet. On the flip side, you will probably be dealing with more competition at the Badlands on more populated servers.

Orb of the Blackwhelp
In-game, players who finish part of a chain quest (Meeting Note) can purchase a single Orb of the Blackwhelp until used up of its 4 charges. These orbs allow the player to transform himself into a larger black whelp. When a player uses Noggenfogger Elixir in this form, they can do a "mini-me" with their pet Dark Whelpling. Though this form is broken through combat or even falling, players like to use this item to "mess around".

Black Drake
Lore wise, when a whelpling grows, it will be a full size drake. Black Drake would be the model of an adult dark whelping. They are also available to be rode upon via Reins of the Black Drake.
