Companion

File:Smallpets.jpg

Companions (also known as small pets, non-combative 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 the companions have their own characteristic behaviors they will occasionally perform (see individual descriptions).

Companions cannot attack or be attacked in the normal sense, however, [Sleepy Willy] 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 initially uses a space in your inventory, but as of Patch 3.0.2 upon using the item you learn how to summon it from the pets section of your character sheet. Prior to the patch, the companions were always summoned by the item, and the item had to be carried. If you had many pets, you had to keep many pet items. Not all of the articles have been updated to reflect this change, so if you see "used to summon pet", it now means "used to teach you how to summon pet".

The Blood Parrot, spawned from the [Bloodsail Admiral's Hat], and the Coyote Spirit, spawned from [Don Carlos' Famous Hat], are exceptions to the change and continue to be spawned from the item at this time. 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 zepplin that doesn't is the ship between Teldrassil and Darkshore. 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 opening duplicate pets.

Game considerations

Though intended to be a cosmetic accessory, companions have some impact on the game.

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

Companions do not stealth. If your character uses stealth, your companion will reveal your presence.

In PvP, companions will reveal your location to opponents.
- You can unsummon your companion by clicking the companion buff.
- A [Wolpertinger] can reveal your location to your party, and will be invisible to your opponent (unless they are inebriated).
- 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.
In PvE, mobs do not notice companions, so having one can be useful to indicate your location to party members.

For soloing, having a companion will reveal your location to other players.

Flying pets of any sort, including companions, can sometimes interfere with clicking to target -- for 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.

Achievements

Patch 3.0.2, Oct 14, 2008, introduces achievements. Some of these are about acquiring companions. Only pets entered on your character sheet count — the pets you already have (soulbound) must now be used (learned) to count.

Can I Keep Him? grants 10 achievement points when you obtain a vanity pet.

Plenty of Pets grants 20 achievement points when you Collect 15 unique vanity pets.

Plethora of Pets grants 30 achievement points when you Collect 25 unique vanity pets.

Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart grants 40 achievement points and a [Reeking Pet Carrier] is mailed to you when you Collect 50 unique vanity pets.

Lil' Game Hunter grants 50 achievement points and a [Little Fawn's Salt Lick] is mailed to you when you Collect 75 unique vanity pets (Added in Patch 3.0.8)

As noted above, the Blood Parrot (see [Bloodsail Admiral's Hat]) and the Coyote Spirit (see [Don Carlos' Famous Hat]) 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.

Temporary companions

Companions in the context of WoW generally refers to permanent companions that are spawned under the control of the player. 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, follow the character around. 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 [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.

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, or 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.
