Notes:
This pet is chosen among three vanity pets as a reward after completing a chain of Children's Week quests that begin in Outland. These quests may be accessed by characters level 60+. See the Guide to Children's Week for a detailed walkthrough of this chain. Other rewards for the final quest include Egbert and Peanut. Collecting all three pets on the same character is possible (over the course of three years) since the quests are repeatable each year. Willy's eye-beam animation activates every 3 minutes. If no critter is in range, the timer resets.

This pet is also available as a FigurePets collectible (series 2).

Breanni Says:

The one thing that always amazes me about minipets is the attention to detail. Case in point: Willy. Here's a pet designed with exquisite features. In fact, if you look carefully at his backside, you'll find that he's even been equipped with the ability to relieve himself. In this way, he's able to wink at you both coming and going! *chuckles*

Those of us who grew up during the 80's will probably remember the Spielberg movie Goonies and the pirate captain "One-Eyed Willy". ^^
It's also a reference to other things, but that's probably best left unsaid.. :P

The eye beam for Willy is on a 12 minute timer and he zaps level 1 critters. If there are no level 1 critters around, his timer resets.

Blizzard has an uncanny ability to take some of the hideous creatures and somehow make them completely adorable!

This pet is based on Floating Eye Demons. The "Big Dad" of this guy has two rows of teeth and seven eyes.

This is a pet that I originally disliked (because he was kind of gross compared to other, fluffier, cuter pets, really.) But I've grown to love him more than most of the regular "animal" pets! He

There was clearly a lot of attention given to this model, especially because they took a pre-existing creature and had to "baby-ize" it. The amount of detail is clear especially with the texture of the flesh and pupil. His cute little teeth are my favorite part. And the noises he makes are perfect. <3

Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuit makes your Willy bigger.

I'm sure this doesn't need to be said, but I brought willy out in a raid & the emotes got dirty. So in case that's not your type of funny (though it made me lol), keep this pet put away.

One time he was called One-eye Willy. Maybe from Goonies or maybe Blizz has a perv mind since they change the name hummmmm.

Willy has been my favourite pet since I got him.
Hes just SO weird.
Just wish he hadn't been nerfed to have such a long timer on his Eyebeam. Why Blizzard? WHY? Were they worried Willy would make critters an endangered species?

There are three pets that I know of that attack critters: Willy here with his eye-beam, Scorchling (with a little fireball), and Lil' K.T. (with a frost tomb).

Hours of critter-nuking fun!!

Allow me to describe his "vocalizations" in better detail, he makes 3 different sounds when clicked on, "Waigh" "Muwaigh" and "Yep!"
