OVERVIEW: Gorillas are fun to have around because of their high health and
their unique Thunderstomp move but there are a few flaws in having them
around. They’re not easy to come by since they only show up in jungle habitats
such as Stranglethorn Vale and Feralas and have a picky diet. Their area-of-
effect ability is nice but it has a one-minute cooldown and gorillas don’t
have much else in the way of moves.
-----
Hyena
-----
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Dash
DIET: Meat, Fruit
DAMAGE: Normal
ARMOR: +5%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Hyenas make nice pets because of its well-balanced stats and quick
attack speed but they don’t have much in the way of abilities. The majority
of the hyenas reside in parts of Kalimdor but there are some in the Blasted
Lands in Azeroth.
----------
Nether Ray
----------
MOVES: Growl, Bite, Cower, Dive
DIET: Meat, Raw Meat
DAMAGE: +3%
ARMOR: -10%
HEALTH: +10%
OVERVIEW: Nether Rays look like warped manta rays with teeth, and are found
only in Outland. They have a strange mix of stats, losing 10% Armor in
exchange for more Health and Damage. Sadly, they do not have any unique
abilities at this time, which is truly a shame considering their appearance.
---
Owl
---
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Claw, Screech, Dive
DIET: Meat
DAMAGE: +7%
ARMOR: Normal
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Owls are built for offense but work with a lower attack speed as
opposed to the cats’ fast speeds. They’re elegant pets and have a set of good
moves. Screech is an excellent move because of its area of effect and Dive is
excellent for PvP or scouting.
------
Raptor
------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Claw
DIET: Meat
DAMAGE: +10%
ARMOR: +3%
HEALTH: -5%
OVERVIEW: Like most offensively-built pets, raptors don’t have much in the way
of armor and health but they make up for it with their attack strength.
Sadly, they don’t have any unique moves but they’re solid fighters, and there
are plenty of cool colors to choose from, especially in the Wetlands.
-------
Ravager
-------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Dash, Gore
DIET: Meat, Raw Meat
DAMAGE: +10%
ARMOR: +5%
HEALTH: -7%
OVERVIEW: Ravagers are incredibly potent when it comes to damage. They trade
off some of their Health for more Armor and Damage, and on top of that is
their Gore ability. These pets are great for PvP, thanks to their offensive
abilities. Early on, you can find them around Azuremyst and Bloodmyst Isles,
which means that if a Horde player wants one early, they will have to go
through a lot of trouble just to Tame one. If you are willing to wait,
however, they make an appearance in the Hellfire Peninsula and other areas of
Outland as well.
-------
Scorpid
-------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Claw, Scorpid Poison
DIET: Meat
DAMAGE: -6%
ARMOR: +10%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Like turtles, scorpids are also high-armored tanking pets but rather
than a damage-reducing move, they have a unique poison ability that stacks up
to five times. They also eat meat as opposed to fungus and fruit, which are
tougher to find in the wild.
-------
Serpent
-------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Poison Spit
DIET: Fish, Meat, Raw Fish, Raw Meat
DAMAGE: Normal
ARMOR: Normal
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Stats-wise, Serpents don’t have much going for them but their Poison
Spit is an interesting ability. Rather than several small stacking poisons,
their Spit is simply a one-shot DoT. Sadly, Serpents are not very common in
the outside world. You will find them in only a handful of instances,
including the Wailing Caverns and the Sunken Temple.
------
Spider
------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite
DIET: Meat
DAMAGE: +7%
ARMOR: Normal
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Spiders’ stats are also geared more towards offense than defense and
they come in a wide variety of body types. The species come with either fuzzy
or thin legs and you’ll see plenty of them during your time in Azeroth. Sadly,
spiders come with a very limited set of moves.
--------
Sporebat
--------
MOVES: Growl, Cower
DIET: Bread, Cheese, Fruit, Fungus
DAMAGE: Normal
ARMOR: Normal
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Sporebats are about as weird as pets get for hunters. They’re
stingray-like creatures that hover around sprinkling a trail of spores
wherever they go. They’re elegant, and yet so bizarre, and can be found
exclusively at the just-as-weird Zangarmarsh in Outland. Sadly, they’re
rather bland when compared to other pets. Hopefully, Blizzard will implement
an exclusive ability of some kind for these runts.
-----------
Tallstrider
-----------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Dash
DIET: Cheese, Fungus, Fruit
DAMAGE: Normal
ARMOR: Normal
HEALTH: +5%
OVERVIEW: These are the funkiest animals on two legs in this game. They may not
look like much but they have a pretty decent health count and a fast attack
speed but they don’t have many moves and have an odd diet. They’re native to
the low-level regions of Kalimdor such as Mulgore, Darkshore, and the Barrens
but they’re nonexistent once you leave those areas. If you plan on getting
one, you should get one as early as possible.
------
Turtle
------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Shell Shield
DIET: Fungus, Fruit
DAMAGE: -10%
ARMOR: +13%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: As you would expect, turtles have naturally high armor but low attack
strength, making them versatile tanks versus physical attackers, especially if
you use Shell Shield. This higher armor count also makes Mend Pet that much
more efficient. The only downside to turtles is that they have that picky
vegetarian diet.
------------
Warp Stalker
------------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Claw, Warp
DIET: Fish, Fruit, Raw Fish
DAMAGE: -6%
ARMOR: +5%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Warp Stalkers look like giant komodo dragons, appearing only in
Outland. You will find them once you enter Terrokar Forest. Their Warp ability
allows them to go directly to whatever you are attacking, rather than having
to run to them. Think of it as a Dash through time and space. Because of their
high levels, you will need to be level 62 or so before you can tame one.
------------
Wind Serpent
------------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Dive, Lightning Breath
DIET: Bread, Cheese, Fish
DAMAGE: +7%
ARMOR: Normal
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Wind Serpents are an amazing bunch. They look neat and come in a
variety of colors. Even though they don’t have much in the way of health and
armor, their attack strength and fast-hitting moves make them great for a
straight-out offense. You’ll find them mostly in Kalimdor.
----
Wolf
----
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Growl, Furious Howl
DIET: Meat
DAMAGE: Normal
ARMOR: +5%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Wolves are all-around good pets but what really makes them shine is
their unique ability Furious Howl, which grants any party members within range
a bonus to their next attack. So not only do you get a pet with a little Armor
bonus, you get to have a small DPS boost along with it.

c. Pet Abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like you, your pet also learns various abilities, some of which are
unique to certain types of animals. Unlike you, they use Focus instead of
mana, which works the same way as a Rogue’s Energy. While Growl and several
passive abilities can be taught through the Pet Trainers in each major city,
most moves require that you tame the beasts with those abilities and use them.
This means that if you have all three of your Stable slots filled, you may
have to sacrifice one when it is time to learn new abilities.
Some abilities are active, while others are passive. You’ll know which is which
as you go through the list. Also, when you teach your pet new abilities, it
consumes training points, which are gained through level-ups and friendship
gains. You only have a limited amount of these points and it costs money to
unlearn them so choose your abilities wisely.
Each ability costs Training Points, which are accumulated through your pet’s
Friendship and level growths. Like your Talent Points, it costs money to
unlearn your abilities so choose them wisely. Each ability listed has its
Training Costs associated with each of its ranks. If you’re not sure what to
