Labyrinthe's Profile

I've been into pets since the very beginning. I had played Blizzard games for years but when I saw that the World of Warcraft collector's edition came with a little panda that would follow you around, I was hooked.

It wasn't long after that that I realized there were other non-combat pets in WoW and I had to get my hands on those, too! My first, and most prized pet, was the Hyacinth Macaw. I felt it matched my druid beautifully and I didn't go anywhere without it. I became so attached that I kept an eye out for more hyacinths on the AH for my other characters (before pets were account-wide), and I often managed to snag them for 10s or less (this was back when they were a plain old white quality pet and people didn't know the difference between a hyacinth macaw vs. any other parrot). 

I then stumbled upon the (then Alliance-only) quest to get my very own Sprite Darter Hatchling. I made sure to do this quest on all of my alts and my little faerie dragon quickly became my favorite pet. I was so happy when Horde characters were finally able to farm their own and now that pets are account-wide I'm able to keep my all-time favorite pet by my side regardless of which character I'm playing. I'm even considering a sprite darter tattoo as a nod to my favorite pet and a subtle shout-out to the WoW community.

I'll admit I was a little disappointed when we were told about the imminent debut of pet battles in MoP during Blizzcon '11. That said, I quickly found them to be one of my favorite aspects of the game and I'm very happy that Blizzard has embraced the pet community. I look forward to continuing to collect all the pets I can get my little paws on :)
