Ok so a while ago I said I found someone (really sorry I wrote their name down somewhere, I'll post it as soon as I find it) who figured out how to make ANY pet a flame ball of smokey fire and I have CONFIRMED it stays for dismiss/player death/pet death. Here's how it works in the Townlong Steps, about mid way in, there are quests to kill/shoot down and burn bug people (forgot what they are called) but the burn the dead bug quest gives an item by the name of Cremating Torch. Once you get it have your pet die ( ) use the torch on your pet them rez. Thats it. But the EPA may disapprove of how much smoke the pets emit. Here are some pics.
Edit: Woot, I got it to post, give me a min or 2 to get pics.

Which torch sets them on fire, the torch used during the quest or after which is a reward? After looks like you can just pay someone to kill your pet in a duel outside org, then torch it, right? You don't have to level at all.

Mmm.. I don't think a purely aesthetic thing like this that only one class bothers with (actually, has anyone tried warlock pets?) is the first on Bliz's chopping block for an expansion hotfix roll. Not saying it will never be fixed, but I doubt it's a OMG MUST FIX NOW WARRHGKJHKJ issue. Took them ages to even fix the first method, which actually could be used for damage exploitation. I don't see why they'd bother wiping the pets either, since it's not hurting anything. If anything, it makes the pets MORE noticeable and likely to be attacked in PVP, unlike the unclickable pool of fire.
what if you do this, but end up not liking the fire effect on a particular pet. Is there a mechanism for removing it?
A bit of palindromic wisdom: "Step on no pets!" Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis I love pets - combat or non. <That Kind of Orc> guild on The Scryers, small, casual LGBT and friends guild, join us Horde-side.
Considering it's insanely bright and can bother other players on that alone, it might end up on the chopping block pretty quickly. So enjoy it while it lasts. Remember Blizz already hotfixed the other ones and it was recorded in a previous topic, which includes the oil stained wolves.

They took away the ability to do certain glitch tames. My oil stained wolf is still just fine and hasn't changed. And as far as this trick... It's not any brighter than most any other fire in the game. Judging from your two posts in this thread, you're a real glass is half empty kind of person huh?
