Yes, it drops in regular too and that one's very easy to solo as a hunter with a tenacity pet. :)

Definately my Wind Rider Cub, Tiberius. =) The plushie goes with me EVERYWHERE (even university exams, all my friends pat him before we go into the exam hall, haha!) And he's always at my side ingame. <3 It's great because I only have Alliance characters, so he gives me a lovely slice of the Horde. :mrgreen:

Other favourites of mine include my Azure/Dark Whelplings, my darling little Chilly, and my Leaping Hatchling (given to me by my boyfriend, very sentimental values ^^)

This is next to impossible for me as I collect as many pets as I can get my hands on. However, I think overall the pet that I have the most fondness for would have to be the Dark Whelpling.

Back in vanilla when there were only the 4 dragon minipets I knew I had to have one, and naturally the black was the one I wanted the most. I rarely saw them on the Auction House back then, and the few times I did their four-digit price was far beyond my reach.

So I decided to farm for it.

Took me about 3 years, but one day after countless attempts at massacring the dragons of Lethlor Ravine it dropped and I was just in shock. One of the best WoW memories I have, so that little whelp will always be pretty special to me. :) I believe that was also one of the catalysts that spurned my descent into collecting madness. x)

Really depends on the character... but overall, I'd have to go with phoenix hatchling, heh. I just like how it looks and sounds.

It's so hard to choose! >.<

But, I'll have to go with the Toxic Wasteling. It's so bubbly and oozy, and doesn't give you a debuff!

No problem. You have to be careful on the 5-boss encounter (last on before Kael) because the different mobs don't have an aggro table. I'd read up on it and know in advance what the various possible bosses do, so that you'll be able to set yourself a kill order for the encounter.

But really, if you just take your time and pace yourself on pulls, you should be just perfectly fine. :)

My sprite darter was the first mini pet I had to work for so it holds a special place in my heart. Lately I've been showing off the sewer rat from Dal tho. It's fun to run aorund with Loque or Gondria out and the pet rat. Future favorites? The oozling, the pheonix, the Bloodsail mcCaw if I ever get them lol

Oohh almost forgot about my Mountain Dew Battlebot. I'm still trying to find another eprson with one so they can battle. lol

Coming in a very close second is my Red Whelpling on my Hunter. He was a gift from a friend of mine in-game who hated grinding up mini-pets. Was very sweet of him.

And my Mini-Diablo gets honourable mentions. Mostly because I never picked up the original collector's edition.
Back when The Pre-Wrath Patch hit, a lot of people were having problems with their mail diappearing. Blizz ended up sorting most of it out, but got a few things wrong. Including sending me a Kharanos Gift Voucher, which gives the quest to pick up one of the original Collector's Edition mini pets. You can imagine my surprise.
I actually felt guilt about it, after all I got this for free whilst people with the actual Collector's edition had to pay extra. So I contated a GM. I think they were amused I'd be guilty over a mini pet of all things. Said that it was they wo gave it to me, and they weren't going to take it away now that I had it.
The GMs sent the voucher to a few people, I was one of them, it was a way of saying thanks for not freaking out, and sorry for the trouble, imo. I used mine to get a Zergling! :D

As for my fav pets... I have a lot since I'm an avid collector... but the ones I have on auto summon with my addon are my Spectral Tiger Cub (he just looks adorable when I'm riding the mount or even the Celestial Steed :lol: ) and my Windrider Cub- they are so adorable that they make me squeal hehe. I have too many favorites beside those two, but they are my main's pets of choice :)

I got the same thing Pre-Wrath. However the GM I contacted took it away from me. Guess it depends on who you get.

Yeah I've noticed that a lot. Most of the GMs I've talked with were pretty nice. But I've known a few friends who seem to get the less-than-amused GMs. Sorry you didn't get to keep it. At least you know you'll be on the moral high ground if someone accidently sends you Martin Fury.
