Unless Blizz is keeping secret pets in their back pocket, Shadowlands looks to be the first expansion in WoW history without a new pet family.
The previous lowest amount of new pet families was Legion at launch, which added only 3, but eventually added Feathermanes, bringing it on par with WoD which added 4.
And no, renaming Quilen to Stone Hounds doesnt count. Even if it did, that’d be only a single new family.
I mean… do enough people actually care about pet battles to make it worth the dev time? There’s a reason they aren’t looking to add any more pet battle dungeons in the game, y’know.
Pretty sure they’re talking about Hunter Pets.
This is specifically referring to hunter pets, and I’ll edit the title to reflect that.
Ah. Just let them tame Worgen and I’m sure everyone would be happy.
I already tamed a worgen once and Blizz took it from me.
Slavery is usually looked down upon. Plus he might have fleas
I think there is pet family bloat atm. Shale Spiders, Monkeys, Basilisks, etc. They’re pointless.
I think they should start combining families (for more skin options) instead of adding more.
Edit: From looking at the list, the only new family they could add would be “Gorms,” whatever that is.
Need tamable chocobo’s like the belf mount… but sadly we have yet to encounter these creatures in the wilds. Maybe they’re on the Dragon Isles?
When I capture you, I’ll keep you to groom my foot-talons, l’il elfy.
Agreed. When all those pets had more unique abilities and uses, the variety made sense…but like most everything else. Blizzard had to dumb it all down.
Aww, isn’t it so cute when it tries to be angry. Who’s a good puppy? You are, yes you are. Want a biscuit?
Personally I don’t care, because there are already so many options.
G’huun’s model… ‘greater’ worms… apparently. Sounds dumb to me.
Poor l’il elfy, confusing cruel amusement with anger. Resistance is futile, resign yourself to a life of servitude.
Sure, sure. I have a collar already picked out for you, and we’re going to go to the dog groomer to get your fur done up, poodle style. Oh, right, need to see the vet, too.
Remember, always spay and neuter your pet worgen.
