You know that clattering sound you're always hearing in the Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes? It's coming either from a https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=9699"">(NPC #9699) or one of these things, with the fire beetle being the slower of the two.

This critter is part of the To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life achievement added in patch 3.0.8.

Have you flyer and don't want to demount? Then don't! Just fly over the zone (or run for Huge Toad and Lava Crab) and spam this macro:<ul></ul>

Just a note.
Use /target lava

I was running around using /target crab and not finding anything -_-.
May seem ""common sense"" but it's an easy mistake waiting to happen

65.9, 31.6 - Very Tiny, should zoom in pretty close but not quite all the way. Just sit there and wait, you will see something like a flea move across the surface of the lava. Smallest thing I've seen running around in WoW so far.

Things like these are why I set it to show the names of everything.

Even myself, but that's just because I like seeing my name floating over my head for some reason.

Tiny does not even begin to describe these guys. When I finally found one, I put Hunter's Mark on it. The HM was too small to notice.

For size comparison, a https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=9699 Fire Beetle could eat 10 of these for breakfast. Do yourself a favor, even if you're a purist, make yourself a ""/Tar Lava"" macro.

Good luck!

WOW, these lava crabs are very small, need to turn up volume to hear them to find them. I will submit some screenshots of where i found mine.

If typing V doesn't work you can also use /target lava while you are standing near a lava pool.

I had a bit of difficulty finding this crab. I knew it was in a lava pool (I mouseover'd it), however I was having a hard time actually targeting it to /love it. I couldn't see it due to the lava having a surface color blocking view to its contents and I couldn't swim below the view line due to the pool being too shallow. ""/target Lava Crab"" got the job done.

the best way to find the lava crab is to land beside a lil lava pit and then on ur chat bar type (/tar lava crab) just like that. if there is one in the pit it will target it for u and all u have to do is love it. i searched for over 30 mins but could never find one i tried /tar and the first time i did it i got it

Next to the Lashtail Hatchling you get as a 'pet' in Stranglethorn, i think this should be a vanity pet as well. I was looking around after i /love it and it blended in so much and it was so tiny that if it wasnt for the target ring, i would have COMPLETELY missed it. Thanks blizz for making cute and tiny things XD

They are very very tiny , even with the name-tag on it did not pick up.
I found a red moving dots which look like lava embers and it ended up being a lava crab

I had a hard time finding these little guys... Even after hitting ""V"", they didn't show up for me. I was able to find one IN the lava (not skittering around on land) outside Blackrock by typing ""/target lava crab"". Couldn't see him, but he was still targeted and so it worked when I ""/love""d him. Last one I needed for achieve. Never would have found him if I didn't know where to look.

I found them in the lava pools. If you wait for the smoke to pass over them, you will see them moving. They are fast little guys.

Look carefully - these things are really, REALLY tiny.
