Even before pet battles were introduced
into World of Warcraft, collecting vanity pets was a common pastime
for players. Players would spend hours farming mobs for that one
special pet just so they could call it their own. As you can imagine,
now that vanity pets can actually be used for something other than
looks, pet collection is taken even more seriously.
With a slew of new pets to be
introduced in Patch 5.3, pet collectors really have something to get
excited about in this patch. Wild pets, cuddly pets, boss drops, dino
pets, and more, the pets set to hit the scene in Patch 5.3 are sure
to bring delight to all. Curious to get a peek at these new pets?
Keep reading for a listing of the pets set to debut in Patch 5.3.
Keep in mind that all information found below is subject to change as
the patch is developed. Enjoy!

Raiding with Leashes II: Attunement Edition
Much like it's predecessor, this achievement
requires players to collect 10 pets from old bosses. This new round of
raid of old world boss pets can be collected from places like
Serpentshrine Caverns, Karazhan, and The Eye. The Attunement title refers
to the often complicated process of having to run raiders through all the
Burning Crusade instances just to enter Hyjal Summit and the Black Temple.
Not surprisingly, at the end of this achievement, players will receive
another pet; Tito. Based off the Karazhan Opera event, Tito's abilities
are: Bite, Impale, Cyclone, Triple Snap, Howl, and Buried Treasure.
