Drop: Fabious

Find a character at the top of the page to see whether your account has this mount, and where that character stands on what it asks for.

Look it up on Wowhead

How to get it

Take a selfie with Fabious using a S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera while he is out: the mount lands in the bags of everyone who does. He is a tidestallion that cannot be attacked; every few hours he swims out of the water wall at one of four spots in Nazjatar, drifts round for two to six minutes and is gone again.

Time there about 5 h a visit

Guide wow.gg: Fabious

Before you go

  • Nazjatar reached: Send the Fleet from Genn Greymane in Boralus or Nathanos Blightcaller in Dazar'alor, and the quests after it down to the zone's hub · about 1.5 h
  • A S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera: reward of Light Camera Action from Arielle Snapflash by Olivia's Pond in Stormwind (61.2, 22.4) or Vivica Starshot in Orgrimmar's Valley of Spirits (34.4, 70.4), who want an Iron Box and a Russet Belt found in the city and a Standard Scope, which engineers make. The garrison mission Field Photography also gives one · about 0.5 h

In all: about 2 h of play, starting from nothing.

Getting there

Fabious, spawn point by Bloodfin Village (one of four)
Nazjatar · 27, 30
/way Nazjatar 27 30
From Stormwind (Alliance) about 2 min of travel
  1. Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Boralus*
  2. Take the portal from Sanctum of the Sages to Nazjatar*
  3. Fly the rest of the way
From Orgrimmar (Horde) about 2 min of travel
  1. Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Zuldazar*
  2. Take the portal from Hall of Ancient Paths to Nazjatar*
  3. Fly the rest of the way

/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.

Notes and sources

There is no lockout and nothing to kill. The picture has to show both the character and Fabious; a wow.gg guide says some players need more than one shot. Both the camera item and the upgraded S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera MkII work (Wowhead comments, 2019 and 2020).

He stays for two to six minutes, shows no rare marker, and the four spots are too far apart to watch from one place. Wowhead maps him around:

  • 27, 30, by Bloodfin Village (the place given here)
  • 38.5, 11, north, Chitterspine Caverns
  • 48.5, 85, south, Tide's Fall
  • 75.5, 52, east (one commenter names the Drowned Market)

Wowhead also has two sightings near 39, 52, which an early comment lists as a further spot.

The wait is the whole cost and cannot be planned. The wiki gives a respawn of roughly 2 to 8 hours; players on Wowhead report waits from 30 minutes to 9 hours (2021-2025), and two in 2025 saw him appear when their shard was 2 hours and 2 hours 40 minutes old. The five hours on the spot are an estimate from those reports, not a published figure.

The wiki says the mount is not given to a character in combat with him; since a hotfix of 28 June 2019 he no longer fights at all. The journal files this under drops.

Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
