So it looks like some of the new rares out there in 5.1 will have companion pets in their loot table. How does that make you feel?

I didn't go through the entire list, but Chrominius looks like it'll drop Whistle of Chromatic Bone.

All of these Anubisath Idol, Ashstone Core, Chrominius, Corefire Imp, Death Talon Whelpguard, Fungal Abomination, Giant Bone Spider, Harbinger of Flame, Mini Mindslayer, Mr. Bigglesworth, Stitched Pup, Untamed Hatchling, Viscidus Globule. seem to be from old raids nor rares.

That's what I thought initially, but I don't really see that happening -- especially with the Chrominius one (Chrominius use to be Chromehound). I don't think it's just a coincidence.

No screenshots or models. This makes me a sad panda.
/casts Flippable table
So, these will be from old /raids/ not /rares/, right?

yeah I'm pretty sure these are old raids due to the ach 'Classic Raid Collector'

Yeah that collector arch makes me pretty sure it's old raids not for rares.

Just imagining a baby Chromagg just makes me want to scream in excitement.

I've organized the companions by raid and potential drop, and put an idea of what they'll look like.
Naxxramas
Gluth's Bone - will most likely drop from
Gluth in
Naxxramas and resemble a miniature version of him.
Dusty Clutch of Eggs - will most likely drop from
Maexxna in
Naxxramas and resemble a miniature version of her.
Mr. Bigglesworth's Frigid Collar - will most likely drop from
Kel'Thuzad in
Naxxramas, and resemble
Mr. Bigglesworth, his pet cat.
Blighted Spore - will most likely drop from
Loatheb in
Naxxramas, and resemble a miniature version of him.
Molten Core
Mark of Flame - This could drop from any boss in the
Molten Core. I have no idea what it would look like.
Blazing Rune - This could drop from any boss in the
Molten Core, but it will most likely resemble a
Flame Imp from the
Molten Core.
Core of Hardened Ash - This could drop from any boss in the
Molten Core, but there's a good chance it will come from
Ragnaros. I also have no idea what it would look like.
Blackwing Lair
Unscathed Egg - There's a good chance this will drop from
Razorgore the Untamed, the first boss in
Blackwing Lair. It could resemble any of the whelps found inside the raid, such as
Corrupted Bronze Hatchling.
Blackwing Banner - There's a good chance this will drop from
Broodlord Lashlayer, the third boss in
Blackwing Lair. It could resemble any of the dragonkin who tend the whelps, such as
Death Talon Wyrmguard or
Death Talon Hatcher.
Whistle of Chromatic Bone - will most likely drop from
Chromaggus in
Blackwing Lair, and almost definitely will resemble a miniature version of him.
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj
Viscidus Globule - almost definitely will drop from
Viscidus, an optional slime boss in the
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and resemble a miniature version of it.
Anubisath Idol - will most likely drop from the Twin Emperors encounter in the
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, with
Emperor Vek'lor and
Emperor Vek'nilash, and resemble an
Anubisath Defender, the trash mobs found right before their boss room.
Jewel of Maddening Whispers - will most likely drop from
C'thun, the final boss in the
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and resemble a
Qiraj Mindslayer.
I'm really looking forward to these raid pets with neat models! Feel free to further help me develop the list (especially with the Molten Core section), add your comments about which is your favorite, etc!

Thanks Equeon! And really, this is so exciting. I've wanted this for ages and it's a good reason to return to those raids. <3
We do need a mini eyeball pet, since we already have the Darkmoon Eye and Eye of the Legion!

Confirmed to drop from raid bosses!
Also confirmed that they will probably follow up on them in future patches, 3-4 pets being added to loot tables from every raid of the expansion; next up being TBC and WoTLK after that, yadda yadda. I seriously can not wait!
Little Kraken in a bubble anyone? <3

God I hope they drop a tiny bronze dragon whelp. Any of them. I need it. I need the bronze dragon whelping now. <3
Also the idea of a mini proper dragonkin would be awesome as well. I NEED MOAR DRAGONS.

I'm 99% sure the 'Mark of Flame' will be a baby flamewaker.

Guess I will be seeing what I can solo. All of MC and BWL, AQ40 is everything else Twin Emps, Vis, and C'thun (without getting haxy with the worm boss), and I am gonna have to test my skill at Naxx. Interesting indeed!

Yeah, the bronze one is very noticeable in its absence! But then so is the chromatic one. And it could easily be either :/ I guess we wait and see.

Naxx was soloable on 10 man in Cata, should be easy in Mists LFR gear.

The solution to this problem is ADD BOTH.
