"Harvests souls" when owner kills player/mob that yields exp or honor. Pet doubles as vendor with unique items sold only to owner.
Loot code required.
This pet, the largest land-based companion to date, is redeemed through the extremely rare 'Ethereal Plunderer' loot card from the World of Warcraft The Hunt for Illidan TCG expansion. The card may be scratched to reveal a code allowing access to this pet. The code may be redeemed at Blizzard's promotion retrieval page. The pet may be obtained in-game from Landro Longshot in Booty Bay.
This pet doubles as a specialized vendor. When its owner kills a mob that grants experience or honor, the Ethereal Soul-Trader will "harvest its soul", yielding a small amount of Ethereal Credits to the owner. In exchange for this currency, the following items may be purchased:
- Soul-Trader Armor Set - six equippable items that form traditional ethereal garb.
- Diluted Ethereum Essence - a consumable that grants the ability to detect Lesser Invisibility (does not detect invisible players).
- Ethereal Essence Sphere - an electrical ball that may be thrown to other players.
- Ethereal Liqueur - a very strong alcoholic beverage.
- Ethereal Mutagen - used to transform a companion pet into a Flesh Beast.
Note that you cannot sell your unwanted items to the Ethereal Soul-Trader.

Hah! Take that Yeti! Finally, a companion pet that dwarfs even you! You're not so imposing anymore, Yeti. In fact, with this guy at my side, I can smite you down! And when your broken body falls, the Ethereal will harvest your soul! But then, you don't even have a soul, do you, Yeti? You're just a mindless wind-up toy, made with shoddy parts and broken dreams! I want your head, Yeti! I want— *snaps out of it* Whoah... sorry 'bout that, folks. These big pets always make me a little... unstable.
As of patch 5.3 he is his original large size!! :)
One of my favorites and a good attention-getter, although he can be a bit annoying at times since he says "I have arrived, shall we set to work then?" every time you dismount or zone.
When battle pets went live he sadly shrunk by about half, previously he was taller than my dwarf characters. A Blizzard blue post confirmed that this was intended "to scale him to fit better with other battle pets". Now I have to use a Papa Hummel's Pet Biscuit if I want him to regain his former size. :(
The only downside I can think of, is that his intro message which he says every time he spawns can get annoying if you're regularly mounting and dismounting a flying mount. (e.g. whilst doing archaeology)
HOWEVER, it is the pet that has triggered the most questions from other players as many want it. But as they learn that is comes from TCG loot they are not happy.
I want the suit/costume and then I can go for the fun stuff.
The Frostling still pelted with snowballs.
Often ppl will order me to stop look through his invetory and offer to buy the Pauldrins for then not seeing that most the stuff is BOP
