Anniversary Pets
WoW's 20^th Anniversary Celebration event runs from October 22, 2024 to January 6, 2025. Head to Caverns of Time in Tanaris to check out all of the festivities. Earn a new currency, Bronze Celebration Tokens, to buy new cosmetics as well as a few returning pets. [source]

There are four new battle pets to collect during this year's celebration.

• Craggles - 2200 Timewarped Badge
• Lil'Doomy - 10 Bronze Celebration Tokens
• Lil'Kaz (pictured right) - Drops from Lord Kazzak
• Misty - 2200 Timewarped Badge

Missed out on previous years' anniversary pets? Now is your chance to collect them! For a limited time, five older anniversary pets will be available to buy for 10 Bronze Celebration Tokens each.

• Baby Blizzard Bear
• Hatespark the Tiny
• Lil' Nefarian
• Molten Corgi (pictured right)
• Onyxian Whelpling

The anniversary event has multiple attractions, plus a couple of familiar faces. Stop by Breanni's stand to say hello, or check out the Pet Battle area (pictured below).

The infamous Squirt is hosting a pet trainer party, and two NPCs from each expansion will be available to battle. These NPCs will rotate every few days, but Squirt will stick around for the entire event. Guess she needed a vacation from the Garrison!

Upcoming Timewalking Pets
Two new battle pets were added to Timewalking vendors. Each costs 2200 Timewarped Badges.

• Karazhan Syphoner (pictured above, left)
• Specter (pictured above, right)

Players can buy the Karazhan Syphoner during the Burning Crusade Timewalking event, while Specter will be available when the Wrath Timewalking event is active.

Miscellaneous Changes
Listed below are a few undocumented pet changes in Patch 11.0.5:

• Coppers has trained extensively and is now ready for battling
• Mikah renamed to Jade Cragviper
• Caustic Oozeling, Illskitter, and Kaheti Bull Worm removed (for now)
• Mister Muskoxeles is properly showing as the reward for collecting 1800 unique pets
• Family Battler of Khaz Algar achievement now has a pet reward, Fuzzy!

Note: Players that completed Family Battler of Khaz Algar prior to Patch 11.0.5 are not retroactively receiving Fuzzy as the reward. Those that complete it after the patch are being rewarded as normal. Hopefully Blizzard will fix this bug in the near future.

Twitch Drop Pet
In celebration of WoW's 20^th Anniversary there's another Twitch Drop reward! [source]

From October 22, 10:00 a.m. PDT until November 5, 10:00 a.m., collect the Sand Scarab (pictured right) by watching a WoW Twitch stream for at least 4 hours. Be sure to connect your Twitch account to your Bnet account first.

The Sand Scarab was originally released as a pet code from the WoW Trading Card Game (Tomb of the Forgotten set). It became unavailable once the TCG was discontinued, so it's awesome that this pet will be collectible again for a limited time.
