Earn the Honorary Dryad title from a short quest chain in Valdrakken, and gather up 3 Hornswog Hunks and 1 Honey Snack. Then head over to The Azure Span to find the Primal Bear Cub (located between the Theron's Watch flightpath and Rhonin's Shield flightpath). Interact with it to receive the Snowclaw Cub.
UPDATE: The first hidden battle pet has been found! Thanks to the Secret Finding Discord, players can add the Bugbiter Tortoise. Acquire a Petrified Dragon Egg and Eroded Fossil and speak with Cymre Brightblade to receive your new turtle! Note that Cymre might not be spawned unless the World Quest Brightblade's Bones is up.
This pet is currently bugged and will not show up in the Pet Journal when learned. Using the command /summonpet Bugbiter Tortoise does work though.
Unfortunately, due to technical constraints on our end we'll have to wait to include this pet to our database. We'll add it as soon as possible, thank you for your patience and understanding!
Dragonflight is live this week! Explore the Dragon Isles, capture new pets, battle new trainers, and earn some awesome achievements and rewards!
New Pets In Dragonflight
The expansion brings us 90+ new battle pets, not including the 3 pets collectible during the Dragonflight pre-patch (Crystalline Mini-Monster, Primal Stormling, Secretive Frogduck).
Some highlights include:
- 38 wild pets to capture
- 18 pets from Dragonflight vendors
- 8 profession crafted pets (3 pictured above)
- 7 quest rewards
- 4 pets rewarded from achievements
- ...and more!
Check out all Dragonflight pets!
There are a handful of elusive pets that made a brief appearance during Dragonflight Alpha and Beta, but have since gone into hiding. It's unclear if they simply didn't make it to release and will be available in a future patch, or if there's some secret involved. Whenever and wherever they pop up, we'll update our database as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
New Trainers, Challenges, Achievements
Battlers can find new Pet Battle World Quests on the Dragon Isles. There are 8 new encounters.
Complete each of these WQs with a full team of level 25 pets to earn the Battle on the Dragon Isles achievement.
All 8 encounters are available at all times and are repeatable, even if their associated WQ is not active. This makes it more convenient for the next new addition.
All About Family
Looking for something a little more challenging? There are new "Family" achievements and meta-achievement!
Similar to the other Family Fighter-style challenges, defeating all 8 of the new encounters with a full team of level 25 battle pets from the same family will award you with progress toward Family Battler of the Dragon Isles. This achievement rewards the pet Lady Feathersworth (pictured right).
Check out Xu-Fu's for strategies and ideas on how to defeat the elite 8 and earn yourself a new pet!
A Break From Battling
If you need a break from battling, there's another new achievement to earn while exploring the Dragon Isles. Capture at least one of every new wild pet to earn the Dragon Isles Safari achievement.
Some Dragon Isle wild pets have certain conditions that must be met before they appear. Check out the list for conditionally spawned Dragonflight pets. Additional information can be found in each pet page's Notes section.
A handful of Dragonflight wild pets come in multiple skins, so if your goal is to collect all colors, keep an eye out as you hunt through each zone.
There are more achievements related to battle pets, plus quests and treasures. Head out to the Dragon Isles to discover more!
Support A Streamer For A New Pet
In addition to Dragonflight's release, there's another special event that may interest pet collectors.
Tune into an eligible Twitch streamer that's streaming WoW starting November 28 at 3pm PST (GMT+8), and gift them x2 Twitch Subscriptions to earn the new pet, Ichabod (pictured below).
For more information on how to accomplish this, check out our forum post. A list of eligible streamers for this pet can be found here.
This special promotion ends December 12th, so don't wait too long if you'd like to add Ichabod to your collection. Be sure to claim any earned Twitch rewards before the end date, as they won't be redeemable after the promotion ends.
We'll be including this new pet to our database as soon as possible.
These pets are so cute. I love them. Thanks for sharing their information and merge fruit which is amazing.
I'm struggling to find pets! This is frustrating.
Hi, i spent most of today on the Dragon Isles with my Dracthyr and never saw one battle pet. I was there the other day with my Mage and found half of the wild Pets. Very odd. Any idea why?
