Nitun is one of ten new Legendary Elite pets added to Pandaria in Patch 5.2. Since he is an "Elite" pet, you will face him alone with your entire team (3v1).
Additionally, this is one of the only Beasts of Fable with a title. His title is possibly a reference to Swiper (a raccoon who steals) from the childrens' television series Dora the Explorer.
Howlbomb doesn't really work anymore since the Legion howlbomb nerf, so there's a couple ways you can take this guy.
Every time he lands a killing blow, he gets a massive heal. So you could use Undeads with Beast abilities and just rock out. He doesn't get credit for a KB with Undeads. Some usable ones are:
Fossilized Hatchling
Mr Bigglesworth
Spirit Crab (a VERY solid choice here, and the only captureable Undead one)
Giant Bone Spider
Widget The Departed
Cursed Birman
New ones that *may* work that I haven't tested or seen mentioned by others:
Risen Saber Kitten
Nerubian Swarmer
Scraps
Another option, you could go this route 100% if it's what you have or mix and match with the above, is to use Mechanicals and swap them out on their Mechanical racial round so Nitun doesn't get the killing blow. Breed is going to be a little more important to get the most hits out of like Batter or Thrash, Nitun is 316 speed (addon is called Battle Pet Breed ID).
Cogblade Raptor (s/s breed). Actually use Batter with Exposed Wounds rather than the more obvious Bite.
Open up with Primal Cry, then follow up with Black Claw.
Use Hunting Party.
Nitun is defeated. (Note: RNG can happen, in which case it's faster to concede and start over.)
Edit: Dang, maybe it was a fluke I had. After several attempts I was unable to repeat it, and instead had to use my main team (Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius, and Anubisath Idol) for the "howl bomb" strat.
One of the harder legendary creatures for me, probably because I don't have a lot of strong critter attacks in my arsenal and one of his abilities just seems to wreck my pets. I finally won using a Flayer Youngling, a Clefthoof Runt and a Celestial Dragon. It was the best combination I had, so I just kept trying over and over again until I finally won.

Rabid Nut Varmint 5000 (s/s breed)
De-Weaponized Mechanical Companion (only comes in s/s)
For the above RNV5k and DWMC, use Thrash & Extra Plating
Mechanical Scorpid (breed doesn't matter): Black Claw and the 2 beast abilities
So there you go, should be easily able to put together a team to beat this guy.
I soloed Nitun with my Zandalari Anklerender (Hunting Party, Primal Cry, Black Claw).
