Minipet Events Calendar

by Breanni

This quick-reference guide will help you determine when to hunt down any WoW small pets that are obtained through in-game events. Note that only those Warcraft events that provide opportunities to collect small pets have been included in this calendar.

UPDATED!
August 2008: The new Spirit of Competition and Essence of Competition pets have been added to the calendar, along with the new event.

Contents 

KEY KEY:

  Binds when picked up

  Binds when used (can be obtained year-round at auction)

  Recurring event

  Once-per-year event

As seen in the key above, pets with a solid red border are bind-on-pickup and only available for a limited time each year. Therefore, you'll want to make sure you devote some time during the event to do whatever's necessary to obtain the pet.

TIP TIP: To get the exact dates when an event will run, click the event name. This will open the official World of Warcraft events calendar with the most reliable data.
