I very much enjoyed your report. I learned a bunch and saw what the “Joneses” are doing.
An aside, have you heard of other players locating rare pets, such as the spirit cat in Scholazar Basin and demanding gold for the location? What are everyone’s thoughts?
I recently saw that. I flew up to the spot (on a good guess) and when I approached, the death knight killed the cat.

Thanks for all the kind words on my work. I’ve got a new report up on the popularity of skins – prompted in part by the discussion here. Hope that helps you find the coolest looking pets as well as the dps-est. You’ll find the report via the Hunter menu over at my Google App Engine site.

Hehe, I use pretty unpopular pets. Devilsaur (orange skin), Wasp (Hive Queen aka Ayamiss), Nether Ray (well… former nether ray, my friend adopted him, he’s green), Warp Stalker (Gezzarak!), and Chimaera (Nuramoc). Interesting that Nuramoc is the most popular chimaera though!

I’ve never used a cat, despite liking cats (but WoW “Cats” are more tigers, hence they don’t really appeal to me), and I probably never will…

i don’t see why cats are so damn popular.. they aren’t that usefull and shouldnt even be a ferocity pet since they have always been used more for pvp then pve (good old days where the rake had 1.2 attack speed or something like that)

u can’t argue with wolfs.. they pwn and that’s it.

and gorillas are on the top3 cause people didnt realize how useless they became after thunderstomp became a talent..

best pets in my opinion
leveling: turtle
raids: wolf
pvp: ravager

I am really glad someone did data like this. I believe this is the reason cats are getting a buff next patch–because data like this proves that they are just plain the most popular pets around–and even though wolves (SV & MM) and devilasaurs (BM) may be higher dps, people still want to have and use their cat.

I think cats getting a buff will make that easier for a lot of people

Hey Chrizesu, King Krush is actually the only devilsaur with a green skin. It is completely unique.

I think in the end, related to the Ghost Wolf, or Grimm Totem Spirit Guide, far fewer got tamed than people actually think. It was a far harder tame than the Garwal Tame. I would be curious to find out how many people still have Ghost Wolves out there, is there a way to tell in the armory now?

Sorry for reposting (no edit button), but Nehvets, I hope you realize that there are several pets with the same skin, which is probably why few people tame the pet itself.

I was surprised the red skin is the least popular, I think it has a lovely ruby tone. Maybe I’ll go grab one now.
