As we head into the beta, a number of pets have already been revealed like a new butterfly model and updated prairie dog but I’m especially excited about something entirely different. We’re actually getting a mummy pet! Okay, so I was hoping it’d be one of the new archaeology rewards but it turns out it will be a dungeon reward.

In BfA, we’ll have a new set of Pet Battle World Quests which suggests max-level content but the pets will scale down to your highest level pet on the team – like Crysa and Environeer Bert. There will also be a new type of pet currency so there’s no need to hoard your current collection any longer. A few other changes include new mechanics (on enemy pets or your own) and changes to abilities for certain pets (Bone Serpent, Crow/Gilnean Raven, Terroclaw Hatchling).

A number of companion pets (see reputation and embassy pets below) will have no stats meaning they will be unable to battle.

Rooter – Pet Emporium – collect 800 unique pets

Dungeon

• Spawn of Mereketha: Not much is known about the great snake Merektha and the many eggs in the Temple of Sethraliss, but the residents of Zandalar all seem to have a distinct amount of both respect and fear for these serpents. (Temple of Sethraliss)
• Filthy Slime: You’re not entirely sure where this came from, nor do you really want to know, but you are sure that it does eat a tremendous amount of garbage.
• Vengeful Chicken: The wisest engineers of Azeroth all know that the only thing more dangerous than a living evil chicken, is the mind of an evil chicken transplanted into the body of a mechanical chicken. (Waycrest Manor)
• Miimii – (King’s Rest)
