WoW Forever Companion Pets: Vendors, Drop Rates and Crafts

A companion pet is a small creature that follows your character around and stays out of every fight. In WoW Forever each companion comes as an item, and using that item is how your character learns the pet.

• Learn it from the item. Every pet item on this page carries the use line Teaches you how to summon this companion.
• Call it out. A right-click summons the pet, and the next right-click dismisses it.
• Trade before you learn. The vendor, drop and Engineering pet items can change hands, so you can buy them from other players on the Auction House. The Cat Carrier (Corrupted Kitten) binds when used, so it trades only while it is still unopened.

Hunter pets are a separate system: a Hunter tames a beast that fights at their side. Those beasts and where to tame them are in our WoW Forever hunter pets guide.

11 vendors sell 19 companion pets in WoW Forever. Alliance characters shop with Donni Anthania, Lil Timmy, Shylenai and Yarlyn Amberstill. Horde characters shop with Xan’tish, Halpa, Jeremiah Payson and Mayhoa Skyhoof. Narkk in Booty Bay and Flik at the Darkmoon Faire serve both factions.

The Prairie Wolf Pup Carrier is new in WoW Forever. Mayhoa Skyhoof walks the streets of Orgrimmar instead of keeping a stall, so look along the roads and in the Valley of Honor.

Flik travels with the Darkmoon Faire, so check where the Faire stands in our WoW Forever Darkmoon Faire guide before you set out for the frogs.

5 companion pets show a drop chance in the WoW Forever database. The last column is the average number of kills for 1 drop at that chance, so your own count can come in lower or higher.

Pet item	Dropped by	Where	Level	Drop chance	Kills for 1 drop, average
Parrot Cage (Green Wing Macaw)	Defias Pirate, Elite	The Deadmines	19 to 20	1.37%	about 73
Cat Carrier (Siamese)	Cookie, the Ship’s Cook, Elite	The Deadmines	20	4.80%	about 21
Tiny Emerald Whelpling	Dreaming Whelp	Swamp of Sorrows	35 to 36	0.13%	about 770
Sprite Darter Egg	Sprite Darter	Feralas	43 to 45	2.71%	about 37
Cat Carrier (Corrupted Kitten)	Ashen Acolyte	Mount Hyjal	56 to 57	1.26%	about 79

Cookie and the Defias Pirates are both elite enemies inside the Deadmines, so a single group run rolls for the Siamese cat and the Green Wing Macaw together. Our WoW Forever Deadmines guide walks through the dungeon.

The Tiny Emerald Whelpling is the long farm of the list: at 0.13% it takes about 770 Dreaming Whelps on average. The Corrupted Kitten waits for the end of the climb, since the Ashen Acolytes of Mount Hyjal are level 56 to 57.

Engineering makes 3 companion pets from schematics. Each schematic needs the Engineering skill in the table before you can learn it.

Schematic	Engineering skill	Makes
Schematic: Mechanical Squirrel	75	Mechanical Squirrel Box
Schematic: Lil’ Smoky	205	Lil’ Smoky
Schematic: Pet Bombling	205	Pet Bombling

The Lil’ Smoky and Pet Bombling schematics bind when picked up, so the engineer who learns them has to loot them in person. The pets they make carry no binding line, so an engineer can sell them to the rest of the server.

Our WoW Forever Engineering guide has the skill route from 1 to 300.

The Skyborne Epic Pack and the Warcraft Forever Collection add 4 pets to your WoW Forever collection: Zergling, Panda, Diablo and Pachimari. The Skyborne Heroic Pack leaves them out. These 4 are WoW Forever items only and do not appear in WoW Classic, and the Collection stays on sale through 11 January 2027. Our WoW Forever editions guide compares the 3 packs side by side.

Spectral Bear Cub is the pet of the Legacy System, and no other source gives it. It is modelled on the bear that runs with the Dwarf Hunter in the WoW Forever cinematic, and it binds when picked up.

Legacy Points pay for it. You earn them through Legacy Challenges, and they count for your whole Battle.net account. The system opens the moment any of your characters reaches level 25, takes a non-gathering profession to 150 or explores the whole world map. The rest of the reward track is in our WoW Forever Legacy System guide.

1. Levels 1 to 20. Pick up the vendor pets of your faction as you pass through Elwynn Forest, Dun Morogh and the capital cities.
2. Around level 20. Run the Deadmines for the Siamese cat and the Green Wing Macaw in the same visit.
3. Level 35 and up. Clear Dreaming Whelps in Swamp of Sorrows for the Tiny Emerald Whelpling, the longest farm on this page.
4. Level 43 to 45. Sprite Darters in Feralas drop the Sprite Darter Egg.
5. Level 56 and up. Ashen Acolytes in Mount Hyjal drop the Corrupted Kitten.
6. Any level. Narkk in Booty Bay sells his parrots to both factions, and tradeable pet items can be bought from other players on the Auction House.

If you would rather hunt pets at 60, a Pro can take your character there on the quest route before the hunt starts. The WoW Forever leveling page lists what the run includes.
