So this season there are goblins that appear in pairs. I was lucky enough to find myself a pair of menagerist goblins but ended up getting two of exactly the same pet. Now I know they’re usually supposed to drop pets that I don’t have yet but I killed both before I could pick up the loot and learn it.
Now I have an additional Haunting Hannah taking up a slot in my inventory that I can’t learn, discard, salvage or transmute. Should I have received a different pet, and how do I get rid of my duplicate copy? Can it somehow be changed to a random pet I don’t have yet?
We had this same issue in Patch 2.6.1, Season 14, Season of Greed. It was determined that killing both Menagerist Goblins could possibly drop a duplicate Pet for any Pet you did not already have. If you still do not have Pets that that can drop from a Menagerist Goblin, kill one and quickly pick it up, open your Inventory and right-click it to add it to your Collection. Then, kill the second one to get a different Pet. Of course, if the one you just added was your last one, the second Goblin will just drop normal loot.
Hmm… I never even thought of this.
This is the quickest way to dispose of the duplicate Cosmetic Pet:
Here is a list of all the current Cosmetic Pets that can drop from a Menagerist Goblin:

If you have all of those, you have all the ones that drop from the Menagerist Goblin.
And here is a video I made in Season 14 trying to show all the things you can and cannot do with the Pets dropped by Menagerist Goblins. (Fortunately for me, 2 different Pets dropped. But, unfortunate for the video because I would have liked to include the part about creating a temporary Character to hold the duplicate Pet while I deleted the Character).
