New mini pet that helps Japan with their earthquake disaster with every purchase.

100% of the proceeds go directly to Japan. Sure, it wasn't the mount but still better than nothing. I highly recommend if you can spare $10, do so!

Just saw this on facebook...pretty neat, I'll definitely get one (tho they could've done a more asian-oriented pet I think)

They could've but it's better than not doing anything at all. I've been dying to have a hatchling like this.

Just saw this on my facebook feed too =) I love that 100% goes to charity, it's such a lovely gesture and tbh, we should see more companies doing this.

I was hoping it would be the Winged Guardian that would have its funds go towards the Relief but...ah wellz, I'll be getting one later on for sure. =)

I might just have to try talking my bf into letting me get one of these...and the lion mount. >_>

This hatchling is absolutely adorable. His sounds just are delightful to hear and are very unique.

Got one for my fiance and myself Love it! Wanted one of these for awhile, and the fact it goes 100% to a good cause- I love it. Can't wait for my Lion mount... hurry Blizz hurry! lol

Apparently this little bugger is a Vanilla TCG card that they're redistributing for the Japan aid. He's cute and I can't say I've ever seen one before.

I'm really impressed with Blizz for this. I hope everyone gets one! Sadly I already have this pet from the card game,but...I might do it anyway.

I might beable to get some money for this Let me see that will be around $20 NZ I think ok *sigh*

@Suicune - I know! I want iiiiit!

@Tyger - He was extremely rare, like Spectral Tiger rare. Very few people had him.

@Bullet - I am too. Moreso that its 100% of the proceeds going to Japan.

@Max - He's a cute lil bugger. x3 He looks so awesome next to my druid.

@Cow - I believe so. I'm not 100% sure how that stuff works overseas.

EU players get gypped on this pet. $10 =/= 10 Euro--they have to pay like $15 for this pet. =/

Well wouldn't say gipped. Their money still goes to Japan so it's not like Blizz is making the profit.

Seems odd they have to pay more for everything though. Besides, there's other means of donating to Japan than buying a Blizzard pet.

I think its because of how Euros and such convert. Euros are worth less than the US Dollar or something. Thats why $10USD =/= 10EU

TygerDarkstorm · **Posted:** Mon May 02, 2011 3:35 pm

The Euro is actually worth *more* than the US dollar, which is why 10 Euro=$14.87.
If it was less than the dollar, things for them would be cheaper.

Oh. XD Well my bad then. But that would explain why people in Europe have to pay more.

I just think it's silly. I guess to me, it would make more sense if Blizzard tried to make it equal. /shrug
