*Shaking* Mental evening, me and a fellow MCH went of on missions for these again, normal routine of hoping but not expecting to find baby. 1st lair 5 spawn including you guessed it, he nows this was my nemesis the I have been after one for 4 months and he very graciously let me grab it after we had cleaned up adults. Trained it up on the spot just finished and 2nd spawn starting popping, would you believe it 2nd babe same routine we cleaned up then he got this one. Both of us did rest of missions in a daze, it was just the best time I have EVER had. The next bit may help others, this luck we found may be due to having missions at DL 163 we think it has to be above 100 at least for better chance of babies.
Unknown Tue Apr 12 2005 8:56:00 PM
Looked for one of these for 1 week straight. Decided to look for a Widow today. I didn't get my widow, but I came acrossed a Screecher lair and what do you know a Baby Spawned. I finally got my baby. :-)

Ness_Gorath Sun Feb 6 2005 12:31:00 AM

i am accually on bria, got another one of these the other day totalling 4 so far sold 2 for 300k a piece nice little bit-o-cash
bocachica Mon Dec 20 2004 2:50:00 AM
ok first lair i ever hit for screechers and a baby pops. Told my buddy to run and peace so he ran for about 2 minutes till i stopped following him. i had mask scent already on and bam tamed it. i never have any luck with getting good loot but this makes up for it. I am on the Kettemoor server and know of a bull rancor caught last week too. Must be a good time for rare babies.
hossp Fri Dec 17 2004 11:11:00 AM
hey horsepackage, are you on shadowfire?..i think you (or someone with a very similar name)gave my cat disease buffs a few days ago before i went out hunting bulls
horsepackage Mon Dec 13 2004 6:19:00 PM
Just finished master after a 5 day grind, deceided this would be a great first "Rare" pet. i took 3 missions and got to babies, are these still real rare and im just lucky or what. I do have the plus 4 to luck tree in the force sensitive tree, dont know if that helps but hey ill take it...
Nytar Mon Nov 22 2004 9:17:00 AM
Finally tamed one out of mission lair. I took 4 missions with me (2 with my main and 2 with my alt). The third lair spawned a baby.
sedwards424 Mon Oct 18 2004 12:23:00 PM
Just tamed one of these guys on Starsider the other night - SSE of the Research Outpost. Slowly building out the rare creature compliment...next up the Arachne Widow [yikes ]
hossp Sat Oct 16 2004 4:11:00 PM
have to agree with you there irocz..
irocz Fri Oct 15 2004 5:51:00 PM
by far the easiest rare to grab ...something about grabbin missions for a rare pet just seems to take the thrill of the chase down out of it
hossp Fri Oct 1 2004 8:10:00 AM
actually i havent had much trouble finding these compared to some other exotics ( i.e. widow, which i finally got)..the night before last my frined and i (also a mch) got one from a mission lair that had only 2 screechers out..lat night i went to endor to harvest hide, it's good right now...couldn't find anyone to group with to pull missions, so went for wild lairs..i was killing tham as they popped out..mrifle and a gurreck..third freeapawn on my second wild lair was 2 adults and a baby...took it rather easily...i've seen 5 babies in the last month or so...seen one widow in that time and no gps's..(on shadowfire)
Godomos Tue Sep 28 2004 11:31:00 PM
i found that the best way to find a baby is to get the missions that are over difficulty level 99. i joined a solo group and took a lvl 140 mission of screechers out of the smugglers op. there were about 5 adults around the base. killed them and tapped the base. killed those and got nest to half health. on the third spawning a baby popped out. just get high difficulty missions and it seems to help. i've noticed this for other creatures, too. hope this helps.
Otos Thu Sep 16 2004 2:16:00 PM
RARE,RARE, and hard to get. Working on getting a baby for 3 weeks. Took a TK,Master Doc, and me a Master Pistol/Master CH to get one of these babies...you will get lots of black lines..... poison...most I ever had, needed the Doc there to heal..Endor ain't got many folks there when you need them..anyway got 2 babies just for good order...take all your friends and pets and goooooood luck...let them fight while you come up from behind. Got to tap the lair...took 3 times before I could tame one even with my hat on and cookies...RARE...YES and tough. Don't give up...just take lots of help..."my new name is Sreecher grinder".
Tukkaryyk Sat Sep 11 2004 9:58:00 AM
We were a group of 3 and each one had 2 screechers missions. By the time it was over I had two new babies and one of my friend also had one. It's not the first I heard something like this happened... Is it really suppose to be a rare pet?
hossp Mon Sep 6 2004 6:11:00 PM
got one today!!..funny story though, last night on shadowfire i had a bay on the screen just outran the aggro, turned around to tame it and as the words were coming out of my mouth...."lost connection to server"..shadowfire went down for an hour at 7pn cst...talk about mad...anyhow today i was doing a mission lair, about the 10th of the day, ne of smugg outpost and after killing the 2 guards, i tapped the lair, and two adult spawned (it was a teo screecher lair, some have 3), but then a baby popped out with the 2 adults..had my taming pants masked shirt and ate an almod crips just for luck..got it on the first try..so i manged to see two babies in a 24hr period..just grind missions and you will get one
Ryywonka_Ahazi Thu Sep 2 2004 2:48:00 PM
Hello I am a New Master CH/BE to ahazi and yesterday, after 3 8 hours days of looking and spawning and mission taking, I finally got a Screecher from a wild lair by the Smuggler's OP. As if that wasn't exciting enough later that day I got an archane widow from a wild lair about 800m from teh research OP.
ColdBrew Wed Sep 1 2004 8:36:00 PM
Got mine doing missions. They were 23.4k missions. It finally spawned on the 4th lair. I failed to tame it the first time and had to run around for a couple of minutes till it stoped attacking me. I got it on the second try. My vicious taming was 75. I had forgot my enhancement food. Next on my list is the bull rancor, but I hate dath.
Funar Tue Aug 24 2004 2:26:00 PM
It's a good pet to have out, indeed. Mine is fully grown and I take him out quite often. Very effective.
tido Tue Aug 24 2004 9:09:00 AM
aww, i think this ones plaque strike is even more stronger than bull rancors :P.
Nils Harris Thu Aug 19 2004 3:24:00 PM
hehe ... i made around 10 lairs and found one. I had a CM and a Doc with me who just heal my disease all the time. And...suddently a baby spawned. I needed two tries to tame him.
The Plaque Strike must be cool. I was diseased five times while fighting against two screechers. So im looking forward to have a full grown screecher with me :)
Funar Mon Aug 9 2004 10:48:00 AM
I've been searching for one of these for a while now. I had just given up a couple weeks ago. However, last night, during a routine Gold Beach Squadron hunton Endor, a baby popped out of a mission lair I was "poking" to get more screechers out. How excited was I? I couldn't contain myself. I immediately shouted to everyone to hold fire (we use TeamSpeak to communicate). I was able to tame it on the first try. What an awesome addition to my collection.
The baby spawned from a mission lair northeast of the smuggler's outpost. In my excitement, I neglected to get a waypoint, but we were anout 1500m away to the NE. Oh, this was on the Bloodfin server.
lupowop Sat Aug 7 2004 9:50:00 PM
Woot Finally got mine. Was out hunting with a budd Morta and after hitting only 5-10 lairs we got a baby to pop. We both had our pets out and we were both yelling and screaming "run, store, follow, follow, store" and various other panicked commands in trying to keep our pets from killing the baby. I suddently realized i am a TKM as well and that one swipe from my vibros would end in disaster so I /burstrun, pulled out my CDEF and put on my taming clothes all at the same time while Morta ran around with the baby in tow. We broke the aggro and I tamed it in 3-4 tries!! Woot for Morta for his SUPERB help on this one. Been hunting the buggers for months now! Thanks and Thanks again Morta!!!
Jetsom Mon Jul 19 2004 4:52:00 PM
Ran into a few of these spawned in the northern part of Endor desert on Naritus might be another good place to look.
squeakyfish Fri Jul 16 2004 7:46:00 AM
Wow got mine today. was very lucky, accidently shot the baby with my LLC. amost killed it. after running around trying to get it off me. took 5 times to tame it. was a wild lair too. yay
Uraun Fri Jul 16 2004 6:40:00 AM
I got missions for these from the Smuggler's Outpost for around 23,797 credits. I was able to get the missions by myself when I equipped my weapon and grouped my strongest pets that added up to CL 70, as well as grouping my combat droid (600 combat rating). Watch out for their disease! In one mission my Kimogila sustained over 3000 mind wounds from it.
roabbracca Mon Jun 21 2004 7:44:00 AM
Im a MCH from infinity, i had 5 pets to find, the mantigrue screecher, great plains stalker, bull rancor,frenzied graul and arachne widow. i have the arachne and the mantigrue screecher, and now i see how lucky i am. i found a wild lair with a baby outside, tamed at 3rd attempt.:)
GamaBunta Sat Jun 12 2004 1:40:00 AM
And after 4 grown-ups spawned from a mission lair..it only took me 4 tries ( once agro'd and 2 times he flew away ), I tamed my first one.

Stalker Tue Jun 1 2004 7:12:00 AM
Hate to say it but if its a pet They nerfed it to hell.
lupowop Fri May 28 2004 10:17:00 PM
Ok so I made Master CH again and went to look for babies as when I last was MCH these did not spawn babies. Now, is it me or have these been nerfed? Last time I hunted these (2-3 patches ago) i remember it being a nightmare. Last night I was killing them left and right and the desease barely made a dent in me. I still want one but I fear they have been nerfed a bit...Anyone else remember these being much harder?
Fuzzgau Thu May 27 2004 5:40:00 PM
These spawn out of 'nests' in the wild. They seem to populate the same areas of the arachne widow/queens(mainly ne, e , se and south of the research outpost) and in the desert north of the smuggler outpost. Their untamable spitting Reaper cousins seem to have the same areas.
Stalker Thu May 27 2004 1:23:00 PM
I have done many missions for mantigrue screechers about 60 and gotten 2 babies. To test which spawn rate of babies is higher. In wild and mission lairs I have been trying to find wild lairs.In all my time traveling through endor I have NEVER seen a wild mantigrue screecher lair or single spawn. Which is putting a seriouse snag in my experiment. If anyone could give me some tips on where they like to spawn I would be very thankfull.
Kaymal Sat May 22 2004 6:32:00 AM
On a whim my friends and I went hunting these buggers, just the three of us and got 9 missions. No babies. We got bored and headed from the outskirts of the research outpost to the smugglers outpost to head north into the desert. On the edge of a cliff was a lair and lo and behold a baby. I tamed it dispite the fact that it aggroed me 2 times. It is worth the trouble so far
Stalker Sat May 22 2004 6:17:00 AM
Yeah, I tamed one from a mission lair and am trying to find wild lairs. Somoene told me near the korga cave but I cant find screechers there. Just tons of other mants.
Fuzzgau Sat May 22 2004 6:15:00 AM
If you take missions for these the Payout is 23k. So if you can find a way to get 23k missions, you can get screecher missions.
Hazarstanagge Fri May 21 2004 2:00:00 AM
Well Stalker, i have tamed 2..one from a spawn and one from a mission, all in the same day. Before that NUTHIN! i know it of no help to you, but maybe its the same chance no matter.
Stalker Thu May 20 2004 8:13:00 PM
Does anyone know if these spawn more frequently from wild or mission lairs?
Larke_Eno Thu May 20 2004 2:20:00 PM
how much are the screecher missions? I can only find hunters, and other lesser mantigrue.
Hazarstanagge Wed May 19 2004 3:59:00 AM
Tamed 2 today
1st was from a random spawn near where I was running a screecher mission. 2nd was from a mission. I does spawn from missions obviously.Nice paychecks for the missions as well!
Hazarstanagge Wed May 19 2004 3:59:00 AM
Mission, mission, mission, mission.
Just thought Id say that a few more times =)
Stalker Tue May 18 2004 7:38:00 AM
nm my earlier comment, Tamed one on my 15th or so lair, guese I got lucky. I used him in pvp and a few seconds after my friend became diseased he started taking wounds. So I guese the delay is only when a wild creature uses it on a person. Not sure though.
Stalker Fri May 14 2004 6:41:00 AM
I hate to put down the pet I am trying so hard to find but it doesnt seem like plague strike is that good to me. When I was killing the lairs with my trusty pets I would every so often get diseased. I was expecting this to rly screw me up but it didnt. It took 15-25 seconds after I was diseased to do any damage and then there were long intervals between hits. I know disease is suposed to be slow but that kinda negates its effectivness in pvp and pve because on high ham creatures it does little damage and docs and tks can get rid of it fairly easily. Is this a bug by by any chance? Or am I overlooking something.
Larke_Eno Thu May 13 2004 2:16:00 PM
If I understand your question correctly, according to the posted sightings, they are mostly NE-ish from the smuggler's outpost.
Stalker Thu May 13 2004 6:34:00 AM
I there a specific direction they spawn in by the smug our research outpost
Larke_Eno Wed May 12 2004 2:57:00 PM
hehe, that's what I needed to know thanks a bunch. =)
IRONmonkey Wed May 12 2004 1:39:00 AM
Oops, ok I'm slow hahaha nevermind my previous response Larke, I just misunderstood your question. Look at me trying to talk all smart hahaha Anyway, I took on two adults before. I had a 52% kinetic BE rancor and I was low-level rifleman with a T21. My rancor got diseased bad though...
IRONmonkey Tue May 11 2004 5:37:00 PM
As far I know Larke, you cannot handle more than one adult at a time. Master CHs only have a max pet level of 70, so controlling two of them would put you over the limit since one screecher is already level 55. Unless, there's a +bonus clothing out there that would allow you to go over the normal limit, then I don't think it's possible.
Larke_Eno Tue May 11 2004 2:31:00 PM
Nice, I also use the Spawn-the-whole-lair-at-once tactic from time to time. very usefull. But anyway, is it possible to handle more than one adult at a time if you're not a mondo-combat guy?
IRONmonkey Mon May 10 2004 3:50:00 PM
I ran into 2 lairs right next to each other. I knew I'd be outnumbered even with my BE pet, so I sent two of my cats on a kamikaze run on the lairs to spawn them out. There had to be about 20 adults that came out and 1 baby. I tamed it while the adults were killing each other =)
Larke_Eno Mon May 10 2004 2:51:00 PM
Gonna start my search for this guy this weekend, and good luck with the frenzied Gwebacca. lol
Vral Soqui Mon May 3 2004 12:34:00 PM
Finally was able to add one of these to my collection. Was exactly 500m away from the southern outpost. Had to have a master CH friend of mine come and tame it for me since I dropped some CH skills and was short on levels (thanks Da'Sluga!). This was the 2nd baby I've seen but the first one poofed after failing to tame it. Both babies I found were from non-mission lairs. Prior to this a friend and I destroyed over 50 mission lairs without seeing a baby.
marcelo Fri Mar 26 2004 11:46:00 AM
Just got a baby last night...had two lairs spawn in close proximity..and a arachne widow/queen lair next to them as well. Half way down lair's health, a baby spawned...took a few tries to tame...but got him!!! looking forward to using Plague Strike.
Gwebacca Sun Mar 21 2004 11:37:00 PM
Just got mine on the third lair I hit. Bull rancor and a screecher baby in about a week. Frenzied graul is next on the list.
ChunkyMunky Sat Mar 13 2004 5:40:00 PM
Wow, went to the Smuggler Outpost, grabbed 4 missions (had a buddy with me), and out popped a baby. I had 3 pets out to help us take the adults. The HAM on all 3 pets were black by the time we were done...as well as my partner's mind bar (his was completely black in under 5 minutes).
Husarz Wed Mar 10 2004 4:04:00 AM
...and i got missions from smuggler outpost.
Husarz Wed Mar 10 2004 4:03:00 AM
All 6 i tamed was from missions lare
Ghworg Tue Mar 9 2004 10:23:00 PM
Where are you guys seeing these babies spawn? I have done over 40 missions and have not had one baby spawn? Are they missions that you are getting? Are they near the smuggler outpost or research center? Any advise on getting one of these would be super appreciated. I will buy one if someone is willing to sell me one on the Intrepid server, send tell to Ghworg or e-mail
Husarz Fri Mar 5 2004 3:35:00 PM
i got 2 more today... are they reall still rare?
Husarz Thu Mar 4 2004 5:01:00 PM
I tame 4 today, on Eclypse server... I was harvesting hide in 5 days from those (evryone do this on eclypse, lol, amazing hide)and today i got 4 babys from 4 diffrent missions lare. Ar those still rarae? Hope so..
Moceanu Sat Feb 28 2004 6:49:00 PM
I have one of these, wasn't even looking for one. Infact, I was with my guild out leveling and saw these screechers and had never heard of them. Got a baby off the first lair I had ever seen. Named him "Screech," and he can be found on the Gorath server. Very glad to have found it, very well worth it. Have looked for another, but have nothing to show for it.
TROLL Mon Feb 23 2004 6:15:00 AM
Those fellas are super nasty! We have been hunting them non-stopping to find a baby. My buddy was lucky enough to find a baby after 2nd lair and unlucky to have his pet kill it. Now after 30 lairs, we have not seen a single baby. I'll consider this species' baby super rare.
xGHOSTx Fri Feb 13 2004 9:46:00 AM
this thing is hard to find, i saw a baby, but disappeared on me :(, i ran too far from the lair and it resetted and took my pet AWAY!!!....this is after approx a week of checking all the screecher lairs (at least it felt like it)..good luck to you all
Tallinu Fri Feb 13 2004 6:06:00 AM
I just got mine this morning as I was hunting for widows! Happy Happy )
Diakonov Mon Feb 2 2004 2:32:00 AM
Not only are they rare, but the plague strike attack is just as bad as the Bull Rancors and Giant Dune Kimogilas... it's almost sickening in a good way =)
Sundell Tue Jan 27 2004 7:10:00 PM
yes they have babies. they are considered extremely rare.
Igagna Thu Jan 22 2004 11:03:00 AM
These creatures have Nasty.. Nasty area disease. I had a Mstr Doc with me healing the disease as soon as I was hit.. I still retained 300-500 action/mind wounds for "each" disease hit I rec'v even though was immediately cured.
If you hunt these..I wholly suggest you take a high level doc to heal you. I think they are worse than the bull rancors area poision.
No babies that we could find off the lairs. we'll keep looking. If we do will post here.
rorik Sat Jan 10 2004 7:16:00 PM
There are babies of these. I have one of these myself. They are very rare to find though. My friend and I took missions for these guys for almost 2 weeks before finding one baby. Anyways, just thought I would let all of you know.
Eeten_Keth Mon Dec 29 2003 3:36:00 AM
The unkown special here is area disease.
Juntao Thu Dec 18 2003 12:03:00 PM
I am hearing that this guy now has babies! I haven't seen it yet, but if someone can confirm, then be sure to update the baby availability!
