drops about 1/10th of the time. Ferocious has a spawn rate of approximately 5% it seems.

It is not unusual for you to kill more than 30 placeholders before getting a ferocious to spawn. This equates to camps of more than 10 hours being 'normal' in your pursuit of this beast!

The spawn rate of this mob was reduced in the Nov 06 2011 patch.

NOTE: The name of this mob changed from a ferocious cauldron shark to a ferocious hammerhead. If this was a classic timeline change then a note should be made to that effect, otherwise this note should be removed.

Based on the above data, each spawn appears to have a roughly 6% chance of being a named (ie. "a ferocious hammerhead"), and each named has roughly a 1 in 6 chance of dropping a chest.

This means a roughly 1% chance of any spawn being a named with a chest, and given the mob's 22-minute respawn time, players have about a 3% chance per hour of getting a chest.
