Analyzing The Pets Of World Of Warcraft

- Via Nelson Minar's Del.icio.us, he points out the awesome World Of Warcraft Small Pets guide at Warcraftpets.com - and I call the site awesome because I don't play World Of Warcraft (unopened box sitting above my monitor right now!), but I'm still fascinated by what is effectively an Audubon book for WoW.

As is explained on the page: "WarcraftPets.com is your guide to all 71 vanity pets (also known as noncombat pets, minipets, trophy pets, and critter pets). Use the pet filters to sort this list by binding, faction, source, or rarity."

Some of my favorite critters that I was amused by while browsing include the 'adorable' cockroach, of which site owner Breanni says: "While roaches repulse most people, this one is pretty neat. When you’re on the move, he flies behind, landing whenever you come to a halt."

Or, even better, Peanut the mini-elephant: "This pet is chosen among three vanity pets as a reward after completing a chain of Children's Week quests that begin in Outland... Collecting all three pets on the same character is possible (over the course of three years) since the quests are repeatable each year." Oh, jeez, discussing collecting characters over three years? That sums up how crazily addictive WoW is, I suspect, which is why my retail box is staying unopened for now.
