'''Critters''' are mobile non-player entities, typically small or non-predatory [[animal]]s or [[vermin]], intended primarily for ambiance.
−
'''Doling Justice''' is part of the [[Freedom for All Creatures quest chain]], which will eventually award the player with a baby sprite dragon pet, very cute and highly desired. The chain starts with {{questlong|Alliance|47|Freedom for All Creatures}} in [[Feralas]]. To continue the quest chain, you must return to [[Feralas]] and speak with [[Jer'kai Moonweaver]].
  
   
  +
While critters are a kind of mobile object, in World of Warcraft, "[[mob]]s" differ from critters in that critters are primarily for ambiance, provide no direct experience and little or no loot, and are trivial to kill. There are subtle mechanical differences, such as critters cannot be targeted by use of the tab key.

Take [[Jer'kai's Signet Ring]] to High Priestess [[Tyrande Whisperwind]] in [[Darnassus]].

== Description ==
  
  +
* Critters have hit points.
−
Out here in the wilderness, Kindal and I have meager means to reward your help, but we don't want you to feel unappreciated. Take my signet ring. If you ever find yourself in the boughs of [[Teldrassil]], go to the Temple of the Moon in the heart of [[Darnassus]]. There you will find my High Priestess [[Tyrande Whisperwind]]. The ring will let her know that we are well and give credit to your story.
  
  +
** Any 'attack' that causes no damage will not kill a critter.
−
We both thank you, <name>.
 
  +
** Many critters have just one hit point and always die when hit by a damaging attack.
  +
** Some critters have a few hit points and will survive a weak attack.
  +
* Size is a poor indication of relative robustness.
  +
** Many larger critters, such as deer and sheep, have one hit point.
  +
** Squirrels, which are among the smaller critters, have eight hit points.
  +
* Critters are (mostly) harmless and low level.
  +
** Most will run in fear if they survive the first attack.
  +
** Some critters, such as the rats in [[Deadmines]] and the [[Deeprun Tram]], the Biletoads in [[Wailing Caverns]], or Frogs (no, really!) will strike back at an attacker if the attack doesn't immediately kill them. They do minimal damage.
  +
** Priests can use [[Shadow Word: Pain]] to test critter reactions, as it has a delay before it does actual damage.
  +
* Unlike [[mob]]s, critters do not yield [[experience]] nor [[loot]] (with the exception of [[Giant Marsh Frog]] and [[Dig Rat]]).
  +
* Before [[Patch 3.2.0]] (although it was not mentioned in the patch notes - the effect just occured) critters such as [[Sheep]], [[rabbits]] , [[Gazelle]]s, and [[Deer]] were able to be skinned. As of [[Patch 3.2.0]], they can no longer be skinned.
  +
* Larger predator animal mobs ([[cat]]s, [[wolf|wolves]], etc.) frequently chase and kill prey critters.
  +
** Critters can also be killed by [[Sleepy Willy]], a non-combat [[small pet]] that is a quest reward from the annual [[Children's Week]] event.
  +
* Critters can be [[Polymorph]]ed by [[Mage]]s, [[Fear]]ed by [[Warlocks]], [[Shapeshift]]ed by [[engineers]], and various other status effects that do not deal damage.
  +
** Amusingly, sheep can be polymorphed into sheep. The visual effect looks like dust billowing from the sheep.
  +
** [[Growl]] causes critters to run in fear instead of coming at you (although see above note about critter aggressiveness).
  +
* Many [[small pet]]s share the same 3D model with the critters of the same type.
  +
* Many critters have an older, generic representative of the type, and representatives with more specific names added with new content.
  +
* Some critters represent a type of creature that is also or is primarily represented by [[mob]]s; spiders for example.
  +
* Some critters are quest objectives and achievement objectives.
  +
** Whenever a critter is the object of a quest or achievement, the name must match exactly.

Critters

Critters are mobile non-player entities, typically small or non-predatory animals or vermin, intended primarily for ambiance.

While critters are a kind of mobile object, in World of Warcraft, "mobs" differ from critters in that critters are primarily for ambiance, provide no direct experience and little or no loot, and are trivial to kill. There are subtle mechanical differences, such as critters cannot be targeted by use of the tab key.

Characteristics of critters in World of Warcraft

  • Critters have hit points.
    • Any 'attack' that causes no damage will not kill a critter.
    • Many critters have just one hit point and always die when hit by a damaging attack.
    • Some critters have a few hit points and will survive a weak attack.
  • Size is a poor indication of relative robustness.
    • Many larger critters, such as deer and sheep, have one hit point.
    • Squirrels, which are among the smaller critters, have eight hit points.
  • Critters are (mostly) harmless and low level.
    • Most will run in fear if they survive the first attack.
    • Some critters, such as the rats in Deadmines and the Deeprun Tram, the Biletoads in Wailing Caverns, or Frogs (no, really!) will strike back at an attacker if the attack doesn't immediately kill them. They do minimal damage.
    • Priests can use Spell shadow shadowwordpain [Shadow Word: Pain] to test critter reactions, as it has a delay before it does actual damage.
  • Unlike mobs, critters do not yield experience nor loot (with the exception of Giant Marsh Frog and Dig Rat).
  • Before Patch 3.2.0 (although it was not mentioned in the patch notes - the effect just occured) critters such as Sheep, rabbits , Gazelles, and Deer were able to be skinned. As of Patch 3.2.0, they can no longer be skinned.
  • Larger predator animal mobs (cats, wolves, etc.) frequently chase and kill prey critters.
  • Critters can be Polymorphed by Mages, Feared by Warlocks, Shapeshifted by engineers, and various other status effects that do not deal damage.
    • Amusingly, sheep can be polymorphed into sheep. The visual effect looks like dust billowing from the sheep.
    • Ability physical taunt [Growl] causes critters to run in fear instead of coming at you (although see above note about critter aggressiveness).
  • Many small pets share the same 3D model with the critters of the same type.
  • Many critters have an older, generic representative of the type, and representatives with more specific names added with new content.
  • Some critters represent a type of creature that is also or is primarily represented by mobs; spiders for example.
  • Some critters are quest objectives and achievement objectives.
    • Whenever a critter is the object of a quest or achievement, the name must match exactly.
