All New Companion Pets in WoW Forever and How to Get Them
Every newly documented WoW Forever companion pet, where to get it, and which datamined discoveries remain unconfirmed.
WoW Forever is adding new companion pets throughout Azeroth, including hidden discoveries, rare drops, new vendor pets, and rewards from the Legacy System.
We've identified 20 new companions with documented or reported acquisition sources so far. Some are as simple as buying another pet from a familiar vendor. Others involve rare spawns, reputation, quests, or the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza.
This article covers where to find them, what you need to collect them, and which additional pets are still awaiting discovery.
All new WoW Forever companion pets
Vendor pets
Several familiar pet vendors have expanded their inventories for Forever. These are among the easiest new additions to collect.
| Companion | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Jungle Boa | Xan'tish, Orgrimmar |
| Prairie Wolf Pup | Mayhoa Skyhoof, Orgrimmar. Limited stock reported |
| Plagued Cockroach | Jeremiah Payson, Undercity |
| Undercity Cockroach | Jeremiah Payson, Undercity |
| Brown Ground Squirrel | Halpa, Thunder Bluff |
| Red Ground Squirrel | Halpa, Thunder Bluff |
| Brown Rabbit | Yarlyn Amberstill, Dun Morogh |
| Arctic Hare | Yarlyn Amberstill, Dun Morogh |
| Eagle Owl | Shylenai, Darnassus |
The Undercity Cockroach and Plagued Cockroach are separate collectibles from the original Classic Cockroach. Likewise, the new squirrels and rabbits are additions to the existing vendor selections, rather than replacements for the original pets.
If you're starting a collection, these vendor additions are an excellent place to begin. You can pick up several while visiting your faction's cities without committing to a longer farm.
Hidden discoveries and quests
| Companion | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Musical Gustjumper | Use /sing on the frogs above the waterfall on Zephras Isle, around 51.5, 72.3 |
| Excitable Slime | Buy Nutritious Slime Sludge from Boyle in Undercity, then use /dance on an Excitable Slime to unlock WRIGGLE. |
| Weevil K. Neevil | Reported reward from My Little Friends in Swamp of Sorrows. Quest availability and completion still require beta verification |
Musical Gustjumper and Excitable Slime are two of the more entertaining discoveries from the beta. Both reward players for experimenting with emotes rather than simply visiting another vendor.
Weevil K. Neevil is associated with the insect-collecting quest My Little Friends, involving an Arbor Tarantula, Hay Weevil, and Flesh Picker. The quest is present in the Forever database, although beta reports about its availability and completion are inconsistent. We'll update its acquisition information once the method is reliably confirmed.
New rare-drop companions
| Companion | Where to farm |
|---|---|
| Baby Crocolisk | Sewer Beast, Stormwind Canals |
| Condor Hatchling | Lord Condar, Loch Modan. Drops as a Shaking Egg |
| Tallstrider Hatchling | Strider Clutchmother, Darkshore |
These three are particularly interesting because Blizzard has added companion drops to rare creatures that already existed in the original world.
Sewer Beast, Lord Condar, and Strider Clutchmother now have something new for collectors to chase. Their rare-spawn behavior may prove as challenging as the actual drops, especially when players begin hunting the same creatures at launch.
Reliable drop percentages have not yet been established for all three, so we are not assigning rates based on limited beta observations.
Reputation, Legacy, fishing, and special rewards
| Companion | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Spectral Bear Cub | Earn 25 total Legacy Points and claim the reward from Innkeeper Wiley in Ratchet |
| Shadowgale Squirrel | Reach Revered with the Nightclaw Druids and purchase it from Vayn Moongaze on Zephras Isle |
| Minimule | Earn 1,500 Merchant's Favor and purchase the Packmule Treat from your faction's Supply Officer |
| Bitter Baitling | Finish among the first 50 Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza winners and exchange an Extravagant Extravaganza Coin with Jang |
| Pachimari | Included with the Skyborne Epic Pack or Warcraft Forever Collection |
These companions give collectors some longer-term targets. The Nightclaw Druids' Shadowgale Squirrel requires Revered reputation, while Minimule is tied to the new Merchant's Favor system. The Spectral Bear Cub comes from accumulating Legacy Points, giving collectors another reward to work toward while playing normally.
Fishing also gets a worthwhile addition. Forever expands the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza to 50 winners, each earning an Extravagant Extravaganza Coin that can be exchanged for prizes including Bitter Baitling.
Pachimari is different from the others. It is a promotional companion included with specific Forever purchase packages, rather than something discovered or earned through gameplay.
Three original Collector's Edition pets return
Forever also brings back the original 2004 World of Warcraft Collector's Edition companions:
All three are included alongside Pachimari with the Skyborne Epic Pack and Warcraft Forever Collection.
These are returning companions rather than entirely new pets, which is why we're keeping them separate from the new additions above.
Datamined companion pets still awaiting discovery
The Forever beta contains more companion entries than players have confirmed how to obtain.
Some of the names currently worth watching include Spawn of Grubthor, Minfernal, Snowy Wolf Pup, Galestrider Chick, Wild Chicken, Lunar Lantern, and Festival Lantern.
Spawn of Grubthor is particularly interesting. The name suggests a connection to Grubthor, the rare elite in Silithus, although no acquisition method has been confirmed.
Other entries have even fewer clues. A companion appearing in the game files does not necessarily mean players can obtain it. Some may be unfinished, intended for future content, or have acquisition methods that are still hidden.
We'll add these to the confirmed collection as players discover reliable sources.
More companion pets are coming
With Forever introducing a dedicated collection system and already adding pets to old vendors, rare creatures, new zones, quests, and other activities, there is good reason to expect the companion roster to continue growing.
We have already seen how a familiar NPC or overlooked creature can become relevant again simply by receiving a new companion reward. There are plenty of places in Azeroth where Blizzard could continue doing that, and the unresolved beta entries give collectors more mysteries to investigate.
This article will grow as new pets are discovered and their sources are confirmed.
