There are a lot of references in World of Warcraft to various bits of pop culture, and one of the most famous WoW references is the Dalaran Sewer Turtles. Originally found in Legion Dalaran's sewers, these four turtles could be found gathered around a Sewer Rat in an obvious reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
WoW: The War Within – Mythic+ Portal Room Location
Hidden in plain sight in Dornogal, a portal leads to the Timeways, where players can find portals to all TWW Season 1 legacy dungeons.
With the destruction of Dalaran at the beginning of The War Within, though, some fans wondered what happened to these little guys. As it turns out, they're alive and well, but they need the player's help to revive the Dalaran Sewer Rat. After gathering some materials to help, players will be rewarded with a new TWW pet: their very own WoW Ninja Turtle.
Dalaran Sewer Turtle Battle Pet Stats & Abilities
In WoW: TWW, the Dalaran Sewer Turtle battle pet is a Rare quality Aquatic type pet with a unique feature when summoned. It has pretty high HP for an Aquatic battle pet, probably owing to its shell, and is strong against Elemental type pets, but weak against Magic pets.

When summoned, the game will randomly choose from one of the four Dalaran Sewer Turtles you meet at the end of the secret pet quest. These turtles have been in the game for a long time as a reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, and each of the four possible models wears a scarf that corresponds with the color of the Ninja Turtles – one is blue, one is purple, one is red, and the last is brown.
How To Get The Dalaran Sewer Turtle Pet
Before heading out to unlock the Dalaran Sewer Turtle pet, WoW: TWW players should stop by the Auction House to make things a little easier. Purchase 5x Dornish Pike and 1x Goldengill Trout – these can also be fished up from various pools around the Isle of Dorn, but it's easier to just purchase these relatively uncommon items off the AH.
Once you have acquired the Dornish Pikes and a Goldengill Trout, head south from Dornogal to Freywold Village. Above the village, on the west side, you will find a Dalaran Sewer Turtle sitting on its own next to a sickly Dalaran Sewer Rat – the Turtle will tell you that Master Spl... I mean... The Sewer Rat needs some Fish to get better.
Offer the 5x Dornish Pike to the Dalaran Sewer Turtle, then wait for a few minutes. Around five to ten minutes later, talk to the Dalaran Sewer Turtle again. This time, it requires the Goldengill Trout. Give this to the turtle, then fly back to Dornogal.
Fly to the Stoneshaper's Atrium and look for a group of four Dalaran Sewer Turtles gathered around the now-recovered Dalaran Sewer Rat, who is sitting on a nearby branch. This should be in the southern area of the Stoneshaper's Atrium outdoor area, displayed on the map above.
Talk to the purple Dalaran Sewer Turtle to get the Turtle's Thanks treasure. Finally, open the Turtle's Treasure to get some Council of Dornogal reputation and the Sewer Turtle Whistle, which teaches you how to summon the Dalaran Sewer Turtle pet.
Whenever you use the Sewer Turtle Whistle one of the four Dalaran Sewer Turtles will appear by your side. They all share stats and take up the same slot – unfortunately, the four varieties of Dalaran Sewer Turtle do not count for four different battle pets.
