[Guide] Interactive Pets [Last Update: December 2017]

Post by Mezcaal » October 1st, 2016, 2:46 am

October 2019 Update: I will no longer be playing WoW or Blizzard games for the foreseeable future, if someone wishes to take over this guide, they're more than welcome to.
Liberate Hong Kong. Revolution for our age!
Only after I started working on this did I realize this site had interactions on each of the pet pages. Nonetheless, I still think it might be helpful for anyone who might want to see what critter can do what at a quick glance and maybe discover something new that might not have bothered to look for otherwise. Plus, I just like having the condensed list... much easier for my scatter brain. :D

Thanks, Quintessence for the move to the Pet Guides section. <3 And thank you to everyone in the replies suggesting more for the list.

Enjoy!!

Pets That Interact With You
Alterac Brew Pup will give you beer if you click on it.
Dread Hatchling has a heart appear over their head when the player summons the Dread Raven or Raven Lord mount.
Erk?! Falcosaurs (Found here: Falcosaur Swarm) each have a lengthy questline involving lots of traveling and new experiences for your new orphans.
Graves responds to /cheer, /talk, /roar, and /dance.
Mojo can turn players who /kiss into frogs and sends them a ‘suggestive’ whisper.
Nibbles loves the Illidari Felstalker mount with a heart appearing over their head.
Pandaren Monk will respond to some emotes such as /bow and /drink.
Pengu and Mr. Chilly will slide across the ground when you /sexy them.
Tiny Snowman responds to /wave, /dance and /kiss emotes with different animations. Beware! He melts out of season
Trunks will respond to /wave by looking at the player, rearing up on their hind legs and trumpeting. Player will become translucent in the process.
Zeradar's head will come off and spin if you target him and /cheer.

+ Sleepy Cuddles~ + Most felines and a few others will sleep in player character’s laps if you /sit on the floor while targeting them.
::Others Pets Alphabetically::
Felclaw Marsuul, Orphaned Marsuul, Pygmy Marsuul, Shadow
+ I CAN DANCE! + Pet will dance with you if you target them and /dance them.

Unique Summon Styles
Blightbreath can appear in either Rotface's or Festergut's appearance when summoned.
Father Winter's Helper, Winter's Little Helper will scold you for summoning out of season.
Fiendish Imp; Kil’rek can sometimes be summoned instead (from the Illhoof encounter).

Filthling spews onto the player which turns them brownish-green.
Frigid Frostling throws snowballs at player.

Pets That Play Together

Crawling Claws will play rock, paper scissors with each other and the defeated one will blow up.
Grunty, Zergling and Zeradar will fight each other to the death. Grunty and Zergling seem to have an advantage on each other based on distance apart when they start combat.
Lil' XT and Landros Lil' XT can destroy other mechanical pets; such at Darkmoon Tonk, Darkmoon Zeppelin, Race MiniZep and the Clockwork Rocket Bot's.
Spring Rabbits chase each other and make eggs that hatch into baby bunnies.

Lil' XT and Landro's Lil' XT ‘plays’ with nearby Toy Train Sets.
Pint-Sized Pink Pachyderm and Wolpertinger can only be seen by the owner and their party members. Other players must be ‘completely smashed’ to see them.

Flying pets will jump through Cloud Ring. A toy you can obtain at Revered with Order of the Cloud Serpent in Pandaria.
Most pets will jump through Flaming Hoop

There are various leashes you can use on most pets. Leather Pet Leash, Rope Pet Leash, Red Ribbon Pet Leash, Chain Pet Leash

[pet]Onyxian Whelpling[/pet] has an emote "Onyxian Whelpling takes in a deep breath…", followed by, well, a deep breath of fire.
Was lucky enough to see one at the Darkmoon Faire :mrgreen:
According to WPets there are also rings of smoke.

First off, LOVE this guide! Second: I don't know if it's worth adding, but there is a toy in Pandaria (requires cloud serpent rep) that lets your flying pets play with a "smoke ring". From what I understand, not all pets in the flying family can use it, though. No chickens, for example.

Aww, thank you, all. I'm not feeling too good at the moment, but I'll add those when I'm better. <3

I guess that's flying as of hovering or flying alongside a mount. I don't have that toy yet (thanks for reminding), but it'd be priceless to see a [pet]Fragment of Anger[/pet] engaging in a such unserious activity. :lol:

Okay, based on feedback, I've added some more pets and created a toy interaction section. I've also made some general updates, which I hope don't make it seem too cluttered. Enjoy! Hopefully I got all the errors out of the bbcode as well. :D

A technical note: You can link to items without pasting full links to Wowhead!

Code: Select all

[item=8499]Tiny Crimson Whelpling[/item]
Result: Tiny Crimson Whelpling

The number provided is the ID that you can find in the very Wowhead link.

Same with spells, quests, achievements and so on (where a button ends with "=").

Have fun! :)

Oooh, nice to know. Thanks!


To anyone using this guide: I'm using the pet id's for this site, should I include the Wowhead pet links as well? Obviously, I'd do some editing to try and avoid it looking too cluttered.

Okay, folks. Hit me with any new interactions not in the previous replies. I'll try to update in a few days Maybe even revamp the list organization a bit if anyone has any suggestions.

Apologies for taking so long, I burned out on WoW and went on hiatus.

Marsuuls also sit in your character's lap if you emote /sit at them. When just idling they dance and sleep every once in a while as well, like some cats. Marsuuls confirmed cats?!

From time to time, Mini Diablo will summon a column flame. Is pretty cool.
Thanks for the post. I was on Hiatus from WoW for a while as well, but got sucked back into it. Amazing how many pets were added over a few years. I have a lot of catching up to do!

Thanks for an update.

On toys and consumables:

Big Red Raygun enlarges a pet and makes it red
Drudge Fluid covers a pet in yellow ooze
Machine Fluid coats a pet in oil, giving them a dark-grey appearance
(These three above are also supposed to work with hunter pets)
Ominous Pet Treat applies a shadowform with dark fog
Pilfered Sweeper can be mounted by pets mentioned in the feline+ group, although Feline Familiar glitches with it. It's funny!

Also I think Ash'ana is still bugged. :(
