Obtained from fishing in a Flipper Fish School in Zin-Azshari, Nazjatar at /way #1355 72.8 24.3. The school only appears for those holding Strange Goop and not already holding Flipper Fish.

It will initially loot Flipper Fish, which then "slips away" and spawns Flipper Fish, which you must catch as it flops about by clicking on it to get this item.

Part of the items required to craft Aurelid Lure which Is required to make Hirukon Emerge
The player Triggering Hirukon with Aurelid Lure is guaranteed a Deepstar Polyp to drop on kill.

To obtain a Aurelid Lure you need to fish up Strange Goop from Hirukon's pool
/way 52.6 75.0
Dropchance is quite abysmal, probably around 1/1500 according to my experience and the people I've talked to.

Once obtained to go Baroness Vashj in Maldraxxus
/way 57.6 92.0
She lets you know that she can make a lure if you bring 3 materials.
Pungent Blobfish Flipper Fish Coilclutch Vine

Pungent Blobfish can be fished from a school inside Coilfang Resevoir in Zangarmarsh Outland
/way 52.2 37.9

Flipper Fish can be fished from a school in Nazjatar, when caught it slips away and you have to barbaricly catch it with your bare hands.
/way 72.8 24.3

Coilclutch Vine
Is found in Shimmering Expanse, the subzone of the Cataclysm zone Vashj'ir. Found in the lower ruins on a balcony, and can be very hard to see.
/way 34.7 75.0

Return to Baroness Vashj with the materials and she'll make an Aurelid Lure

Apply the Aurelid Lure once at Hirukon in Zereth Mortis, and you'll be able to see an Aurelid Cluster. Fish in it to trigger Hirukon to Emerge.

*IMPORTANT* - The mount will not drop if it is not your first kill of the day. Killing Hirukon when someone else triggers him, will lockout looting the mount until next reset. So if you obtain the Lure, don't use it until the next day if you've already killed Hirukon that day.

Grats on your Deepstar Polyp

Comment by Riffdoctor

When you're fishing in the pool, make sure to stand on land. Do not fish standing on water with water walking abilities. Otherwise the Flipper Fish will fall to the bottom of the pond, and you won't be able to click it.

If you don't want to fish for the low drop chance, you can buy Strange Goop on the auction house. Prices will vary based on servers. I have seen it for 200k on some servers and 400k on others.

You can also buy Pungent Blobfish, Flipper Fish and Coilclutch Vine on the auction house, but I do not recommend it as they will be overpriced and these items are easy to acquire once you have the Strange Goop.

Also, remember when using the lure Aurelid Lure to have graphic settings on high and make sure it's both your first time looting Hirukon for the day and first time using the lure for the week in order to get the mount Deepstar Polyp

i appreciate all the tips :)

Needlespine (rare crab) lurks at the bottom of a waterfall & the Flipper Fish i caught was up at the top of that waterfall - so if you find Needlespine, fly up top to find the Flipper Fish School
i wouldn't wanna be the flipper fish that falls down o_o

How I got to Nazjatar on an Alliance char that hadn't been there before. I did not have friendly reputations with the Alliance factions of Kul Tiras.

1. Bronzebeard questline (Heart of Azeroth)
- Talk to Earthen Guardian
- Go to Silithus through portal in the portal area of Boralus.
- Do the questline with Bronzebeard and go back to boralus through portal

2. Uniting Kul Tiras
- Take quest Uniting Kul Tiras from Halford Wyrmbane on the ship ( this quest was not available to me before doing Heart of Azeroth questline in Silithus)
- Do that short questline

3. Nazjatar intro
- Talk to Genn Greymane on ship and take Send the Fleet , I did the questline up to A Way Home. The area is phased until questline is complete. You can now take a flightpath closer to the area it spawns.
