'''Companions''' (a.k.a. '''small pets''', '''non-combat pets''', '''mini-pets''', or '''vanity pets''') are small creatures (or mechanical replicas thereof) that follow your [[player character]] around. They are mainly for show. Several of these companions have their own characteristic behaviors (see individual descriptions).

== Overview ==
−
This teaches you how to summon the '''Personal World Destroyer''' non-combat pet.
  
  +
Companions cannot [[attack]] or be attacked in the normal sense, however, {{loot|rare|Sleepy Willy}} and {{loot|rare|Lil' Phylactery|Lil' K.T.}} will kill [[critter]]s, {{loot|rare|Clockwork Rocket Bot|Clockwork Rocket Bots}} will battle each other, and {{loot|uncommon|Crashin' Thrashin' Robot|Crashin' Thrashin' Robots}} "will fight other fighting robot companions", a PvP game within the game. Companions have a small hidden amount of health and can be killed by the pet swimming in lava, standing on fires, or other environmental means of damage.
   
  +
You can own as many companions as you like. Each one you acquire is added to the pets section of your character sheet.
−
==Source==
  
−
This item is crafted by [[Engineering|engineers]] with a skill of 475.
  
   
  +
The Blood Parrot, spawned from the {{loot|uncommon|Bloodsail Admiral's Hat}}, and the Coyote Spirit, spawned from {{loot|rare|Don Carlos' Famous Hat}}, are exceptions and are summoned from the corresponding item. These are both items of apparel of some value in their own right, and having the item of apparel disappear when the pet is spawned would not be a welcome change. Because these two pets spawn differently than the other companions, they are not currently counted toward the pet [[achievement]]s.

|Obsidium Bar|q1=10
  
  +
Peddlefeet, when spawned by being shot with a {{loot|common|Silver Shafted Arrow}}, is also an exception and does not count toward the pet achievements.

  +
You can only have one companion out at a time, and summoning another one replaces the one that's already out.
  +
  +
Once summoned, companions will attempt to accompany your player character as you move about the game world. Some appear to be better at this than others. Jumping down from an elevated location will often send a companion off on a circuitous route to reach your new location. If your companion gets left behind, it may catch up and reappear, but may have to be re-summoned. There is no penalty for re-summoning. (The Tiny Snowman is stationary, and will not follow you.)
  +
  +
If you are [[teleport]]ed or use any form of transportation that reloads the environment your companion disappears and has to be re-summoned. The only [[ship]] or [[zeppelin]] that doesn't is the ship between [[Teldrassil]] and [[Darkshore]], and the zeppelin between [[Orgrimmar]] and [[Thunder Bluff]]. If you log out your companion disappears and has to be re-summoned during your next session.
  +
  +
While some companions can only be purchased by certain [[faction]]s, most vended companions and many dropped companions can be traded at [[Auction House]]s. Companions obtained through quests are [[bind on pickup]] and cannot be sold. Pets you learn how to summon cannot be learned again, so you are prevented from owning duplicate pets.
  +
  +
Also, for some reason, most companions have 42 hit points.
  +
  +
== Achievements ==
  +
*{{achievement|Can I Keep Him?}} grants 10 achievement points when you ''obtain a vanity pet''.
  +
*{{achievement|Plenty of Pets}} grants 20 achievement points (and replaces 'Can I Keep Him?') when you ''collect 15 unique vanity pets''.
  +
*{{achievement|Plethora of Pets}} grants 30 achievement points (and replaces 'Plenty of Pets') when you ''collect 25 unique vanity pets''.
  +
*{{achievement|Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart}} grants 40 achievement points (and replaces 'Plethora of Pets') and a {{loot|rare|Reeking Pet Carrier}} is mailed to you when you ''collect 50 unique vanity pets''.
  +
*{{achievement|Lil' Game Hunter}} grants 50 achievement points (and replaces 'Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart'), and a {{loot|rare|Little Fawn's Salt Lick}} is mailed to you when you ''collect 75 unique vanity pets'' (Added in Patch 3.0.8)
  +
*{{achievement|Looking For Multitudes}} grants 10 achievement points and a {{loot|rare|Perky Pug}} is mailed to you when you have grouped with 100 random people for WOTLK Heroic Dungeons. You must finish dungeons.
  +
  +
== Game considerations ==
  +
Some companions impact the game in some way. In particular, companions do not stealth. If your character uses stealth, your companion will reveal your presence. Mobs do not notice companions, so having one can be useful to indicate your location to party members. The {{loot|rare|Wolpertinger's Tankard|Wolpertinger}} possesses both of these capabilities, unless they are inebriated.
  +
  +
A {{loot|common|Disgusting Oozeling}} projects a "Disgusting Aura" when it accompanies its owner. The aura reduces the owner's [[defense]] and all [[resistance]]s by 20, and colors its owner green as if the owner were [[poison]]ed.
  +
  +
During and shortly after the [[Love is in the Air]] seasonal [[event]], {{loot|common|Silver Shafted Arrow}} can be shot at your opponents to mark them with a Peddlefeet companion.
  +
  +
Flying [[pets]] of any sort can sometimes interfere with clicking to target. This affects the pet owner, PvP opponents, and even party members desiring to buff or heal the pet owner. This is not normally a significant problem, but in the midst of frantic PvP combat, the interference can be noticeable.
  +
  +
The {{loot|rare|Soul-Trader Beacon|Ethereal Soul-Trader}} will vend several items to its owner. One of these, {{loot|rare|Diluted Ethereum Essence}}, is designed for being used in combat (but see {{loot|common|Elixir of Detect Lesser Invisibility}}, the impact is minor). The other items are a set of costume items with no stats that allow you to dress up as an [[ethereal]], a ball that can be played with in-game (there are others, such as {{loot|common|Heavy Leather Ball}}), {{loot|rare|Ethereal Mutagen}}, which will transform a non-combat pet into a [[fleshbeast]], and {{loot|common|Ethereal Liqueur}}, a conjured alcoholic beverage.
  +
  +
The {{loot|uncommon|Bloodsail Admiral's Hat|Blood Parrot}} and the {{loot|rare|Don Carlos' Famous Hat|Coyote Spirit}} are spawned from items rather than learned, and are not currently counted toward the pet achievements. Similarly, the {{loot|uncommon|Crashin' Thrashin' Robot}} created by engineers remains an item due to its cooldown characteristics.
  +
  +
== Other types ==
  +
There are companions that can be acquired for a time that aren't normally regarded as companions, but pretty much do the same thing as permanent companions. Many of these are in the context of a quest. Some examples are the orphans for [[Children's Week]], Peddlefeet from the {{loot|common|Silver Shafted Arrow}}, Nass from {{questlong|neutral|75|Kickin' Nass and Takin' Manes}}. None of these count toward the pet count achievements. When a temporary companion is spawned your current companion is despawned.
  +
  +
Note: The {{npc||Snufflenose Gopher}} might appear to be a temporary companion, but will draw [[aggro]] like a [[combat pet]], even though it does not fight.
  +
  +
== List by source ==

=== Generally available ===
  +
  +
The following companions are generally available to any player and, unless noted, the item from which they are learned is not soulbound. Once the item is used (to learn how to summon the companion), it is destroyed. Beforehand, however, the item may be freely traded to other players. Companions from world events and companions created by professions are excluded from this list, even though some of these may be traded freely to other players. Most of the companions on this list are the result of quests or random drops.
  +
  +
Some of the following companions are only sold by vendors from one faction, but they may be traded to the other faction via the Neutral AH if they are BoE.

==Bugs==
  +
[[Patch 3.0.2]], Oct 14, 2008, introduced the companion inventory item, the container, as a charged item with a single charge that spawns the companion in your pets section. After the patch was introduced, all existing pet items (i.e. those in the mail, in your bags, in the bank, etc.) were disallowed from being put up for auction. The auction system would see the pet items as "an item with charges used" and would not post them. These items are still usable, but simply may not be auctioned. New pet items created after the patch, by purchasing from a vendor or receiving as loot, may be auctioned as before.

  +
==API==

As of [[patch 3.0.2]], a number of companion-related functions have been added to the [[World_of_Warcraft_API#Companion_Functions|World of Warcraft API]], chief among them [[API GetNumCompanions|GetNumCompanions()]] and [[API CallCompanion|CallCompanion()]].

Revision as of 04:34, 23 December 2010

File:Smallpets.jpg

Companions (a.k.a. small pets, non-combat pets, mini-pets, or vanity pets) are small creatures (or mechanical replicas thereof) that follow your player character around. They are mainly for show. Several of these companions have their own characteristic behaviors (see individual descriptions).

Overview

Companions cannot attack or be attacked in the normal sense, however, [Sleepy Willy] and [Lil' K.T.] will kill critters, [Clockwork Rocket Bots] will battle each other, and [Crashin' Thrashin' Robots] "will fight other fighting robot companions", a PvP game within the game. Companions have a small hidden amount of health and can be killed by the pet swimming in lava, standing on fires, or other environmental means of damage.

You can own as many companions as you like. Each one you acquire is added to the pets section of your character sheet.

The Blood Parrot, spawned from the [Bloodsail Admiral's Hat], and the Coyote Spirit, spawned from [Don Carlos' Famous Hat], are exceptions and are summoned from the corresponding item. These are both items of apparel of some value in their own right, and having the item of apparel disappear when the pet is spawned would not be a welcome change. Because these two pets spawn differently than the other companions, they are not currently counted toward the pet achievements.

Peddlefeet, when spawned by being shot with a [Silver Shafted Arrow], is also an exception and does not count toward the pet achievements.

You can only have one companion out at a time, and summoning another one replaces the one that's already out.

Once summoned, companions will attempt to accompany your player character as you move about the game world. Some appear to be better at this than others. Jumping down from an elevated location will often send a companion off on a circuitous route to reach your new location. If your companion gets left behind, it may catch up and reappear, but may have to be re-summoned. There is no penalty for re-summoning. (The Tiny Snowman is stationary, and will not follow you.)

If you are teleported or use any form of transportation that reloads the environment your companion disappears and has to be re-summoned. The only ship or zeppelin that doesn't is the ship between Teldrassil and Darkshore, and the zeppelin between Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff. If you log out your companion disappears and has to be re-summoned during your next session.

While some companions can only be purchased by certain factions, most vended companions and many dropped companions can be traded at Auction Houses. Companions obtained through quests are bind on pickup and cannot be sold. Pets you learn how to summon cannot be learned again, so you are prevented from owning duplicate pets.

Also, for some reason, most companions have 42 hit points.

Achievements

  • Money achievement Can I Keep Him? grants 10 achievement points when you obtain a vanity pet.
  • Money achievement Plenty of Pets grants 20 achievement points (and replaces 'Can I Keep Him?') when you collect 15 unique vanity pets.
  • Money achievement Plethora of Pets grants 30 achievement points (and replaces 'Plenty of Pets') when you collect 25 unique vanity pets.
  • Money achievement Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart grants 40 achievement points (and replaces 'Plethora of Pets') and a [Reeking Pet Carrier] is mailed to you when you collect 50 unique vanity pets.
  • Money achievement Lil' Game Hunter grants 50 achievement points (and replaces 'Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart'), and a [Little Fawn's Salt Lick] is mailed to you when you collect 75 unique vanity pets (Added in Patch 3.0.8)
  • Money achievement Looking For Multitudes grants 10 achievement points and a [Perky Pug] is mailed to you when you have grouped with 100 random people for WOTLK Heroic Dungeons. You must finish dungeons.

Game considerations

Some companions impact the game in some way. In particular, companions do not stealth. If your character uses stealth, your companion will reveal your presence. Mobs do not notice companions, so having one can be useful to indicate your location to party members. The [Wolpertinger] possesses both of these capabilities, unless they are inebriated.

A [Disgusting Oozeling] projects a "Disgusting Aura" when it accompanies its owner. The aura reduces the owner's defense and all resistances by 20, and colors its owner green as if the owner were poisoned.

During and shortly after the Love is in the Air seasonal event, [Silver Shafted Arrow] can be shot at your opponents to mark them with a Peddlefeet companion.

Flying pets of any sort can sometimes interfere with clicking to target. This affects the pet owner, PvP opponents, and even party members desiring to buff or heal the pet owner. This is not normally a significant problem, but in the midst of frantic PvP combat, the interference can be noticeable.

The [Ethereal Soul-Trader] will vend several items to its owner. One of these, [Diluted Ethereum Essence], is designed for being used in combat (but see [Elixir of Detect Lesser Invisibility], the impact is minor). The other items are a set of costume items with no stats that allow you to dress up as an ethereal, a ball that can be played with in-game (there are others, such as [Heavy Leather Ball]), [Ethereal Mutagen], which will transform a non-combat pet into a fleshbeast, and [Ethereal Liqueur], a conjured alcoholic beverage.

The [Blood Parrot] and the [Coyote Spirit] are spawned from items rather than learned, and are not currently counted toward the pet achievements. Similarly, the [Crashin' Thrashin' Robot] created by engineers remains an item due to its cooldown characteristics.

Other types

There are companions that can be acquired for a time that aren't normally regarded as companions, but pretty much do the same thing as permanent companions. Many of these are in the context of a quest. Some examples are the orphans for Children's Week, Peddlefeet from the [Silver Shafted Arrow], Nass from N [75] Kickin' Nass and Takin' Manes. None of these count toward the pet count achievements. When a temporary companion is spawned your current companion is despawned.

Note: The Snufflenose Gopher might appear to be a temporary companion, but will draw aggro like a combat pet, even though it does not fight.

Generally available

The following companions are generally available to any player and, unless noted, the item from which they are learned is not soulbound. Once the item is used (to learn how to summon the companion), it is destroyed. Beforehand, however, the item may be freely traded to other players. Companions from world events and companions created by professions are excluded from this list, even though some of these may be traded freely to other players. Most of the companions on this list are the result of quests or random drops.

Some of the following companions are only sold by vendors from one faction, but they may be traded to the other faction via the Neutral AH if they are BoE.

Bugs

Patch 3.0.2, Oct 14, 2008, introduced the companion inventory item, the container, as a charged item with a single charge that spawns the companion in your pets section. After the patch was introduced, all existing pet items (i.e. those in the mail, in your bags, in the bank, etc.) were disallowed from being put up for auction. The auction system would see the pet items as "an item with charges used" and would not post them. These items are still usable, but simply may not be auctioned. New pet items created after the patch, by purchasing from a vendor or receiving as loot, may be auctioned as before.

API

As of patch 3.0.2, a number of companion-related functions have been added to the World of Warcraft API, chief among them GetNumCompanions() and CallCompanion().

Patch changes

Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Several new companions added: Inv spear 05 [Murkimus' Little Spear], Inv box birdcage 01 [Turkey Cage], Inv gauntlets 02 [Spring Rabbit's Foot], and Ability hunter pet crab [Strand Crawler].
