News and Updates

It was previously speculated that the Trolli® + Xbox collaboration may reward a battle pet for World of Warcraft, and that seems to have been confirmed today. Thank you to the WarcraftPets Discord for the information and details of this new promotion!

The website to submit proof of purchase (photo of valid receipt) for Trolli brand gummies is now open. This promotion will be going from September 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025. [source]

To participate in this promotion:

• Must be a USA resident, 17+ y.o.
• Register by providing a valid email address, cell phone number, and US address
• Upload a photo of receipt for qualifying Trolli product from a US retailer

After review (roughly 48 hours from time of submission), those eligible will receive the option to pick from three game IP rewards (World of Warcraft, Diablo IV, or Sea of Thieves). A code for the pet Gummi (pictured right) will be sent to the email provided if the World of Warcraft reward is selected.

For a full list of qualifying Trolli products, check out the Terms & Conditions link on the bottom of the Trolli promotion page.

The War Within is officially live this week! Explore the Khaz Algar, capture new pets, battle new trainers, and earn some awesome achievements and rewards!

New Pets In The War Within
This expansion includes 80+ new battle pets to collect. Here's a quick summary of what to expect:

• 37 wild pets
• 19 dropped pets
• 18 pets from vendors
• 6 pet quest rewards
• 4 achievement pets
• 1 profession pet

Check out The War Within pets!

Many more pets were datamined during early testing, but we'll have to wait and see if/when those additional pets become available to players.

New Trainers, Challenges, Achievements
Pet Battlers will find new trainers and boss NPC pets to go up against on Khaz Algar, with one of each located in each zone.

There's a total of 8 new encounters, however only 4 are objectives of the new Family achievement. These trainers are available to battle even when their associated WQ isn't active. Check out Xu-Fu's Pet Guides for tips and strats on these new battles!

Speaking of achievements, there are a number of new goals to set your sights on. These are either Pet Battle-related or reward a battle pet.

• Battle on Khaz Algar
• Khaz Algar Safari (rewards Waxwick, pictured right)
• (Family) Battler of Khaz Algar
• A Champion's Tour: The War Within (rewards Ruby-Eyed Stagshell)
• Worm Theory (rewards Lil' Bonechewer)

Interestingly, the Family Battler achievement currently doesn't have a meta-achievement with pet reward like previous iterations.

Next Collecting Milestone?
One final accomplishment that players might attain at the start of this expansion is the collecting achievement that was previously added in Dragonflight Alpha. It was removed for being unreasonably out of reach for collectors at the time, but players reported earning the achievement's pet reward during The War Within Alpha/Beta.

During testing, collecting 1800 unique pets seemed to trigger the achievement and rewarded Mister Muskoxeles (pictured right), even though no such achievement currently exists and the pet cannot be found in the Pet Journal.

We can only speculate that the achievement and pet is either being incorrectly rewarded or they're improperly implemented. It's unknown what will become of this achievement and pet, and we'll have to wait for a future hotfix.

Promotional Pets
Don't forget there are a few promotional pets, two of which are available right at the start of The War Within official launch for a limited time.

With The War Within's release nearing, a few special promotions have been announced. Two have been confirmed to include battle pet rewards, while one is still unconfirmed.

Support A Streamer
The Support a Streamer promotion will be back to celebrate the launch of the expansion, and participants can earn a new pet. [source]

Trolli Gummies
If you're a fan of gummy worms (and even if you aren't), this possible pet-related promotion might interest you. An upcoming collaboration between World of Warcraft and Trolli brand gummies may include a new pet. [source]

Keep in mind that Gummi has not been officially announced as an in-game reward for this specific promotion. It's still unknown what rewards players will receive. However, Gummi's flavor text does heavily suggest it's related in some way.

"Gummi baubleworms have an abundance of natural predators as they are known for their rubbery texture and sweet flavors."

It's unknown if this promotion will be limited to the U.S. or if international residents will also be able to participate. We'll be keeping an eye on the Trolli promotion page for more information.

This special edition gaming mouse will come with a code that can be used to obtain Lil' Flameo. As far as we know, the pet code is not tied exclusively to the mouse, and it can be redeemed by anyone in possession of the code.

It's unknown when the limited edition mouse and other gaming peripherals will be available. You can periodically check the SteelSeries website for updates, or sign up for a notification email.

We'll add these pets to our database once they're available.

The War Within Pre-Patch is live this week, and there will be three new pets to collect from a limited-time event (coming Soon™)! [source]

Memories of the Past
From July 30, 2024 to August 26, 2024 players can take part in a new event, Radiant Echoes, and buy unique collectibles with the event currency. [source]


Players will be prompted to head to Dalaran (Northrend) and then directed to one of three possible active zones. Initially, events will be spaced out every 90 minutes, but will occur more frequently as weeks go by.

Defeating familiar creatures and bosses and completing various tasks in an active Radiant Echo zone will help progress the three stages of the event. Doing so will earn players Residual Memories, which can be used to buy three new pets (pictured above).

• Remembered Construct
• Remembered Riverpaw
• Remembered Spawn

These pets are Bind On Pickup and cannot be caged, so be sure to take part in this limited time pre-patch event if you'd like to collect these pets! Check out Blizzard's Radiant Echoes Overview for additional information.

Epic Edition Bonus Pets
Everyone will need to wait one week after Patch 11.0 goes live for the Radiant Echoes event, but owners of Squally won't need to wait for a few new feathery-friends. [source]


Players that have Squally (reward for purchasing the Epic Edition of The War Within) can summon this pet and pick up a new quest.

Complete 'Gryphons of a Feather' to receive the following pets (pictured above):

• Flash
• Gale
• Thundo

It's unknown if players can pick up the quest from someone else's Squally, but it's likely only players that have the Epic Edition of the upcoming expansion will be able to obtain the quest.
