To those with pets that eat fungus: Undead mobs sometimes drop different types, depending on the level of the mob.

[...] and hated it. After realising it had caster stats (thanks to the handy Petopia website) I read the Choosing Your First Pet: Eversong Woods guide. I got an Elder Springpaw and have leveled it all the way to 26 or [...]

Yup, I fell in love with the springpaw stalker too, beautiful cat. Problem is, I only got up there (I am a dwarf) until level 40 or so, so it’s a reeaaallly hard grind to train him. I’ve got Rouge(not Rogue) up to about 29 so far :)

I was playing a pally and looking at what I thought was an ugly cat (springpaw stalkers) when something snapped in my brain. That happened when I looked at their faces! Now I obsess about them. I got on my RP hunter, lvl 34, and tamed one. Now I spend free time out in 1k needles leveling him from 7 to 34 (35 in a minute)
Great choice, spring for the springpaw before it passes! ^.^

Hiya! I just found your site the other day and I have loved reading your aricles. I have 2 hunters, one 43 Tauren and one 49 Blood Elf. I’d like to add about the spiders, which was my Blood Elf hunters first pet: THEY ARE FREAKY! They have these gross squishy sounds when they move. It is horrible. *shivers* I finally went over to Teldrassil and tamed an owl… She is still with me today, but I am thinking of having her… “molt” as you say it. Either black or white. :o)

Regarding Bats, they’re actually lots better than Owls once you do that Sporeggar quest that nets you (effectively) infinite fungus.

But up until then, Diet: Meat still makes it more worthwhile than a Bat — there’s nothing more frustrating than having your pet unhappy and no way to feed him while out farming.

Great site! I’ve just hit 10 with my Blood Elf Hunter – having been away from WoW for a while and started playing again recently – and was curious about the Dragonhawks. Very tempted to try one out and see, rather than rushing over and taming a Springpaw. That said, those cats look like they’d make a great pet!

I suppose, ultimately, it’s worth testing a few pets out rather than just plumping for something because it’s statistically “best”.

Personally I like the semi-crossfaction thing as well, so I ended up using a Dragonahawk at first (knowing that early on stats aren’t all that affected) and then switched to a Ghost Saber later. I think you should mention that if you are leveling a hunter in the area, Fire Breath is an amazing aggro gen for the level range, and it isn’t bad to tame a Dragonhawk early on if you plan to switch to a different pet family/skin later on, ecspecially since many skins aren’t readily available right at level 10, but are more feasible by the mid-20s when caster pets really start to fall behind. just my 2cents

Wow! Great blog! I wish I had taken the time to find something like this when I began playing right when BC went live. I eagerly made a blood elf hunter and what did I tame at level 10? A dragonhawk…. *smacks her forehead* I was pretty upset when I had to release my Firewing at around level 22 because I just kept dying so dang much!

Then I tamed a spider from the Tarren Mill area. Big, green, ugly, tanked decently for me, I loved it! Unfortunately, he later got released, too. I kept getting jealous of all the pets that could dash/charge/dive. Spiders need a little love from Blizzard, if you ask me! My current ones are my ghost paw alpha and a lynx from Netherstorm. They’re good pets, but not near as interesting looking to me as the spider was. Besides, if you manage to scare someone with a spidey in a BG, it’s too funny!
