The bag might be for all the vanity pet accessory nick nacks (ribbon, ball etc etc) similar to how mining bag holds ore and bars, etc

A few days ago on Beta, I happen to run into someone who already had the Skeletal Raptor from Archaeology, so I made sure to take a pic. They said they got it around 150skill from a fossil digsite, I'm not sure if it was built like an artifact item or just an additional loot item, I didnt think to ask : /

And while doing my own Archaeology on my war, I happen to run across the much bigger version in the wilds of Wetlands:

It's built from fragments, I saw a video somewhere about it. (I actually think it was linked somewhere on these forums but... >_<)

... Those living fossils look a tad... unfinished. ;)

I think I read somewhere on warcraftpets.com that our vanity pets might poop and stuff like that in cata. Maybe this has something to do with it? xP

The pooping information shown in Warcraftpets was an April Fool's joke, if I remember correctly. ;)

It looks like there will be three mini pets from archaeology. The mummified monkey paw and skeletal raptor as mentioned before, but there is also a clockwork gnome!

There is also a mini seagull(_) and fox(_).

Ooooh, I just thought of something ...

With all the talk of having a Horde-equivalent version of Withers, I couldn't help but to ponder on druid forms in general and then this thought popped into my head ...

"Wouldn't it be cool to have a baby Moonkin (aka: Boomkin) as a vanity pet!?"

Make it happen Blizzard, oh pretty, pretty please! I'd absolutely, positively would L-O-V-E a baby Moonkin as a vanity pet!
</pays a ritual offering to the Blizzard dieties>

Boub from MMOC has been up to his usual data-mining skills and has presented us with a variety of new pets, and hence, I present:

Brazie's Sunflower
Mr. Grubbs
Elementium Geode
Magic Lamp
Enchanted Lantern
Landro's Lil' XT
Pebble
Blue Mini Jouster
Gold Mini Jouster
Guild Page
Guild Herald
Deathy

My presumptions are that the lamp and lantern will summon a mini Djinni, and isn't Deathy the name of the BlizzCon murloc this year? The others are pretty self explainitory.

Oh yeah, and for those who love the teeny tiny Shale Spiders at them moment, never fear, they will still exist!

From what I've heard, the Sunflower pet is from a horde questline in Hillsbrad--has anyone heard how alliance will be able to get it? They instituted a horde vendor for Withers, so surely there will be an equivalent for the Sunflower pet.

The questline is neutral, it's from a goblin named Brazie in Hillsbrad, just south of the Dalaran Crater. It's the reward from the final part of the Peacebloom vs Ghouls quest chain/mini-game. The daily after the chain can be done for achievements, but atm it's bugged, so I've been playing it most of the day :) Also, according to TB, this pet will actually sing

Here's a screen of the pet:

Also, not a vanity pet, but perhaps a possible one in the future or just a new skin coloration for the existing pets:

That flower is CUTE!

And OMG, IT'S THE RED WARPIE! ONLY TEENY! Where are those at? :o

I think that red warpie is just a critter, not a vanity pet, but I would LOVE IT if that changed!

Make it a quest reward for something in Uldum, maybe?

Or better up, blow these up to proper mob size and make them tamable! ^^

Yeah, it's definitely just a critter, but I'm sure people would like to go visit them on beta. :D
