I held off on completing this achievement until today, and I can report that Fuzzy is properly given out if you finish it now.

Bananas is an interesting choice to me - especially since it's not even a unique model and there's a baby gorilla that anyone catch catch in Stranglethorn in the wild (weather permitting, of course).

 

I do hope this means they'll consider bringing back more old or retired pets in alternate ways in the future. I'm still kicking myself every day for not getting any of the RAF pets, I really miss having the silver and gold pigs especially.

 

And of course there's always Frosty from WotLK CE, one of the pets I wanted most and could never find at the time.

this slime has a butt and nothing can tell me otherwise, I find it absolutely delightful though

This is tied to the rare Dionae in Bastion. She spawns in a cave at 41, 48. Upon defeating her the steward in the cave will offer you his stew pot as a reward, which is effectively the loot from killing the rare. Unfortunately the pet does not seem to be a 100% drop rate.

Ziggy is a flying companion, and even better, he will stay flying with you while you mount up too! I love pets that don't dismiss once you get in the air, I wish the behaviour was more consitent across pets.

So much love for you guys and all you do! <3 It was my pleasure to be able to give a little back to the site that's been such a reliable resource over the years.

Finally dropped for me, over 1000 skinned animals at least, I had something like 2500+ fiendish leather in my reagent bank by the time I got it. Cute little guy. :)

Changes between different colours on summon/dismiss! EDIT: or at least, my original one did, now the colours seem to be static

Has anyone else noticed that there are variable sizes for these guys? I'm not sure if it's coincidence, but the one I caught from a primary spawn is almost twice as large as the one I caught in a secondary battle. My friends and I compared ours side by side and found them to be slightly different in sizes too!

The Core Hound is most likely modelled after Cerberus - the mythical beast who guards the gates of hell.

Since we now receive a Core Hound pet along with having an Authenticator, you could say that it's the one guarding your account from potential threats. :)

If this pet still has the idle animation of scooting its bum across the ground, I'm pretty sure it stands for 'wiping' (as PUG groups tend to do). ;)
