New! Sproutling and Hatchling Pets

NEW Pets! Thanks to the tireless testers of the PTR, we have more sneak peeks of the Argent Tournament pets. This week's feature companions are the Teldrassil Sproutling and Mulgore Hatchling.

The Teldrassil Sproutling is the first AT pet available to Night Elves. It's a little gray ent with purple leaves, whose idle animation includes dancing and falling asleep. It's the perfect companion for resto druids!

The Mulgore Hatchling is the first AT pet available to Tauren. It's a miniature plainstrider, which we already knew from it's icon. But what we just found out (to my utter elation) is that it's pink! This little fellow behaves a lot like his cousin, Egbert, running around wildly and randomly (though sometimes he does opt for walking casually).

Finally, it looks like all AT pets will remain BoU! When questioned about the relatively high cost of these companions, a Blizzard poster responded, "Keep in mind the pets aren't soulbound. There's a little bit of that in the price."
