As a battle pet, this one is really overpowered for use in say, Dragonblight.

Two powerful flying attacks and a heal on a tanky-stats dragon add up to awesome survivability.

If you don't have it or don't want to buy it off AH, you can just go to the vincinity of Onyxia's Lair and capture Spawn of Onyxia which looks the same and has the same set of moves.

This pet is one of the strongest battle pets around if you are fortunate enough to own one.

It is very similar to the also awesome Spawn of Onyxia, sharing both its appearance and abilities but with different stat allocations that make the Whelpling the slightly stronger of the two in most situations.

It also shares the same abilities as the Wild Crimson Hatchling and Crimson Whelping but I would argue that Onyxian Whelpling is significantly stronger due to its stat allocation not being heavily invested in Speed, which is basically useless to this pet.

In general you'll want to use the combination of Tail Sweep, Healing Flame and Lift Off. Tail sweep is exceptionally strong when Onyxian Whelpling is slower than its opponent, so much so that you want to be going last when using this pet.

Tactically, this pet works very well against most opponents, and does especially well against faster opponents (almost everything), aquatic and magic families and creatures with flying attacks. It also does well against opponents dependent on big attacks with long cooldowns, because it has two abilities to mitigate such attacks.

The key to using this pet well is being able to anticipate enemy actions (pretty much all the daily trainers, Pandarian elemental spirits and beasts of fable are very predictable once you get to know them) - and if you can plan 3-4 moves ahead, she is exceptionally adept against most opponents.

The standard rotation I employ with this little fella is as follows:

Open with a Tail Sweep
If your opponent hit in the first round, follow up with a Healing Flame, or alternatively, if your opponent didn't hit you in the last round, Tail Sweep again and wait a turn to heal once your opponent has actually hit you. Since the Spawn of Onyxia goes second your heal will heal for most of the first 2 attacks
Lift Off
Tail Sweep
Healing Flame
Tail Sweep until Healing Flame is available again, then start again because all your abilities will be off CD.

I will however deviate from this rotation when I know my opponent has one or more key abilities.

Lift Off is very handy to dodge big attacks. For example use Lift Off on the same round that you know your opponent will use Burrow/Dive. Alternatively use it in the round before something like Moth Dust (hits hard and has a chance of putting your pet to sleep) or else anything that puts a nasty dot on you.

Secondly, because Healing Flame adds additional healing equal to half of the last hit you took, it is often beneficial to time it for the rounds in which you know a big hit will land, but Lift Off is on CD.

Thirdly, the dragonkin special ability makes it do serious bonus damage (+50%) in the round after dealing any hit that leaves your opponent below 25% health. However this buff does not reapply itself if it is already active. If it drops off however, hitting an opponent again leaving it below 25% (or dead) will reapply the buff for another round. What this means is that if you hit an opponent and get it below 25%, but don't kill it, it is often worth using either Healing Flame followed by a Tail Sweep, or alternative Lift Off, to get the killing blow. This would result in the buff being up for the first round against the next opponent, instead wasting the buff to do 500+ damage to a pet on 50 health.

If you are fortunate enough to own an Onyxian Whelpling, teaming it together with a Spawn of Onyxia makes for a duo that can reliably take down most daily trainer teams by themselves without even needing a third pet - meaning you can use them to power level your other pets. Even against teams where this pairing is not ideal, I almost always have a spot for Onyxian Whelpling in my lineup.

For people who sadly don't have an Onyxian Whelpling available to them, Spawn of Onyxia (breed #4) is a great substitute, which does almost as well, and you'll definitely be wanting at least 2 of these. I strongly suggest saving a Flawless Dragonkin Battle-Stone (or 2) for just this purpose, since farming for a rare of a specific breed can be somewhat time consuming and frustrating.

This pet is EXCELLENT against flying types of pets. It takes less damage from them and most of them (probably all of them, even more with their passive) will be faster than this minixia and thus will take more damage from Tail Sweep. It is also great vs magic pets, with it's healing which scales based on opponent's attacks(magics hit like a mac truck), Lift-Off which can negate even more hard hits. If it wasn't enough dragonkins do more damage to magic.

On a side note I wish it would come in either P/H or P/P breed because this pet would be best with no speed at all.

This is the Second strongest pet with Tail Sweep. If you're lucky enough to have it, congratulations! The Spawn of Onyxia is the strongest but only because one of it's breeds has 341 Power. Despite that, Mama Whelpling has over 200 more hp than her slightly stronger counterpart. It's enough health to make the Whelpling a better pet.

If you're going for the Spawn of Onyxia as an alternative though, only get the power breed. You don't want anything with a boost to speed. Just grab a common quality (628/139/99 @ lvl 12) and stone it. Farming a Rare is hard enough when you're farming a Rare of a specific breed. Doesn't hurt to have a few of these guys, too. Happy pet battling!
