Sinister Squashling

Let me tell you about the Sinister Squashling. This thing is WEIRD. It flaps around on leafy limbs that should in no way be able to support its large head. Then, sometimes, it buries its body in the ground. Why it does this is a mystery. Does it collapse under the weight of its massive head? Perhaps it is lying in wait for its prey, or resting so it can recharge its squash-jutsu. Or maybe it just longs to be a fully-grown pumpkin.

This is the pet that started my obsessive pet collecting quest. I had only been playing a few weeks and saw someone with this pet in the Stormwind bank. I was blown away. It was the coolest thing I had seen in the game up to that point! I asked how they got the pet and that was it -- nothing would do until I got that pet myself, which I did several months later after obsessive trick-or-treating. I still think it's one of the best pets in the game!

So far it is remains a mystery what this pet looks like without the pumpkin. Some suspect it may be a Ammen Vale Lashling on commando-training.

I was having really bad luck with this pet. I must have made 50-100 kills without seeing it (no one had won the roll in front of me) and I didn't get it from candy bags either. It felt like it could never drop!

I would have given up without my lovely friends going for the boss over and over again just to get the pet for me. It did drop in the end from the boss afer countless kills and made it my 50th pet so I also got Stinker (and achievement). I just want to tell people not to give up :)

I've heard rumors about this guy...that there really isn't anything under that pumpkin head of his! That like his former owner the Headless Horseman, he too, is headless! *Shiver*

The thing I like least about this pet is the undue amount of stress he causes during an otherwise fun and enjoyable holiday event. The Horseman is an awesome boss, trick or treating is fun and easy EXP/gold and he is a very cool pet. However, people striving for the meta achievements really have to work sometimes to get this guy. I hope they make Sinister Calling an off-meta achievement, or at least either-or, so that people can start having fun again. ^_^

This is the last thing I need on my main for the title... He is just to cool... Plus it is gonna be nice not having to trick or treat every hour to try and get him... Grrrr

If you're Alliance, take a quick trip to Exodar once you get him. It has a plethora of clear floors to watch his little rooting trick in.

This guy is really a tricker.

It seems impossible to get with my main pet collector char, yet I got it on my third trick or treat with a lvl 17 alt that was destined tu be deleted to make room for a worgen when cataclysm comes out (because I want a worgen with a worg pup).

This guys tough to get, all 3 sources have low droprates, and for high level characters, Innkeepers seem to give more tricks than treats, and when they do give treats, they usually suck! on my first Treat Bag (which I got after getting tricked like 4 times) all I got was a 1 slot bag!

I got this pet on the 30th from one of the gifts. It was very nail-biting since it was coming to the last days of Hallow's End. I hope in one of the future patches this vanity pet will do a small evil, ghostly laugh.

I Finally Got the Pet for the achivement Now I have the hallowed and one of my favorite pets in the world :)!!!

I don't believe the drop rate mentioned above. For an idea of the frustration this pet is causing my pet collector (level 79):

Log in every hour (using egg timer), average 15 times/day, since day 1
Getting on average, half tricks versus treats.
So for: 10 days, 15 times/day = 75 treats, no drop.
Add the daily horseman/village fires = 0 drops so far

Statistically speaking, for the amount of bags I've gotten, I SHOULD have seen the pet 3 times now.

3 days to go, wish me luck.

This pet is one of the most evil creatures out there, rivaling Pengu even. Why you ask? What makes this animated jack-o-lantern so evil? Because not just does it have a low RNG drop-rate, it has an RNG drop-rate and is required for an achivement no less.

It stands between an alt obtaining her title so far. And others most likely.

And he just stands there. Mocking us.

One should think this pets would be the acievement holding you back from "the Hallowed", but not for me. It drop on my 6th Headless Horseman run, I lost the roll but simply bought it off the winner for 100g. Thank God for the new loot system. The toothpick on the other hand is a pain in my a**!

i spent a long time trying to get it never give up and turns out i got it 3 times on the same character and he is lvl 25

i like this pet very much. but i had bad luck with it :(. i have killed horseman at least 10 times and having trick or treat bags all the time and it still didnt drop.

this pet is HUGE when you give it a pet biscuit its as big as a belf with the biscuit. Once i gave one to a gnome's squashling and well... lets just say that gnome pudding tastes way better the pumpkin pie
