Random pet family appreciation thread is where I roll a random pet family every week for everyone to share their pictures, their stories, their love for that pet family. Please no hate or rants. This is an appreciation thread. If you dislike the family, don't post! Hopefully with some love we can get some hunters to try out new pets they never would have thought to tame before.
We are half-way through all the Cataclysm pet families. If your favorite family hasn't been rolled yet, don't worry. They will come up soon! I'll wait to do appreciation threads for new MoP families until after I've done all of the current families and the expansion has been out for a while.
Our 19th family is the whimsical sporebat family!

The best pet. For the DPS.
Sporebat facts
~Sporebats where introduced as a beast and tameable family in Burning Crusade.
~Sporebats have three skin colors.
~Sporebats have no rare members.
~Sporewing is a unique skinned named member of the family with a yellow skin.
~Back in Wrath, sporebats were tamed by 0.2% of level 80 hunters. Placing them at the bottom of the list, tied with nether rays. (Source)
~Back in Wrath, sporebatgreen was the most tamed skin at 47.9%. Sporebatyellow was the least tamed skin at 20.9%. (Source)
~Sporebats, back in Burning Crusade, only knew growl and cower. They were the only family without a basic attack ability such as bite or claw (smack wasn't added until Wrath).
~The Sporeggar faction sells Tiny Sporebat minipets to those with exalted standing with them.
~An undead looking sporebat skin exists in the MPQ files called map_sporebat_diff. Since this does not fit the normal skin naming conventions Blizzard usually uses, it's safe to say that this isn't a skin that it meant to be used in game.
~Sporebat is the best pet. It shoots fire from it's sphincter that incinerates rogues, and it's man parts hit bosses for a billion damage.
