This little guy has been renamed to the Undercity Cockroach come Pandaria. Also, in a great move of hilarity, his ultimate ability is called Apocalypse, and kills everything.

Everything but cockroaches.

I'm not very big on the cockroach, but he is my first ever pet, so he'll always have a special place in my heart. Although, it's a little bit ridiculous that some people don't buy him from the vendor, but instead overpay in the auction house.

Had to vote this a 4 since it was one of the first pets I ever got as an Alliance Paladin back in vanilla days. Yes, I was (and still am) Alliance at the time ... think I made an Undead Rogue just to get to Undercity, get it, and get down to Booty Bay to mule over the neutral AH. Not the most extravagant pet but for its age, definitely a nostalgic favorite.

I just bought this little guy through the Stormwind auction house for 1g, and I have to say, I love him! I wasn't sure if it would be worth it to buy him at first, but the price struck me as a good deal so I went ahead and got him. I love how he flies around behind you when you run, but in a very different pattern than my bird companions do. I hate real cockroaches, but this one's too adorable to pass up! :D I'm looking forward to bringing him out in my next raid.

Journal Entry 1

"I collected my first specimen today; a Cockroach. Old Jeremiah Payson sits in an alcove under the banks in the grand Undercity's common area. He's taken to collecting cockroaches. Amazing little critters, and loyal he says as well. I bet the plague could have consumed all of Azeroth and these guys would have survived to tell the tale.

Now if only I could keep mine off my shoulder long enough for me to leave my sanctuary without him for once..."

I happen to own two of this pet. One on my Human Warlock the other on my Blood Elf Hunter. I still can't stand this pet. I only bring him out when showing off my pet collection to people.

I actually find this pet rather cool. When I tried it out, I was surprised how real its movements were from legs to antennae and how it would catch up by fluttering. Only gripe is as I travel, I see its revealed behind more than any other part of it which isn't an ideal view. ;p

Occassionally, this pet will also fly up into the air a little. A great pet for pally tanks, as both can survive just about anything!

In a recent patch, Blizz made some changes to this pet: they made it bigger.

Because that's what we all want -- bigger cockroaches. :-(

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. Not surprisingly, cockroaches make great companions for the undead. Their fetid and rotting flesh has a tendency to attract roaches anyway, so it all works out.
