Warlords Beta: Garrison Menagerie

[Klaital]

Hmm maybe I will set all my bear cubs loose in the garrison. :p Shame though that there aren't 10 bear cubs. :/

Anodized Robo Cub
Baby Blizzard Bear
Darkshore Cub
Dun Morogh Cub
Hyjal Cub
Infested Bear Cub

Did I forget any?

[Jerebear]

Poley
Panda Cub

are the only other ones I know of.

Bears would be cute as well! Maybe you could mix in the 4 beast of fable pandas (they're sort of bear-ish?) to give you a total of 10.

Currently I'm considering the following:
- Most likely I'll choose all Pandaren spirits/elementals (there are 9 in-game now plus Stout Alemental slated for WoD). I love having them chase after my toon already so I think they'd look equally cute infesting my NPCs and buildings.
- When I need a break from those guys, I'll probably go with 10 "mechanized critters" (as they're categorized on this site), so that means Fluxfire Feline, Rocket Chicken, etc. There's 11 total and while I like my Mechanopeep it's the only one in the category that doesn't quite fit, so it'd get left out, OR
- 10 raptors and direhorns (with 17 to choose from). The hardest part of this would be picking which ones I'd want to feature!

Not particularly fond of those models, but if you wanted to go that route the full roster would be

Toxic Wasteling
Disgusting Oozeling
Viscidus Globule

What is the functionality with 10+ pet favorites anyway? Will it just randomly select 10 pets? Hoping that you can just choose your lineup without the hassle of unfavoriting most to get it.

[Rioriel]

I'm thinking elementals for my menagerie, aren't they adding more of those with WoD?

Models like [pet]Tiny Twister[/pet] for earth, wind, fire and disco or whatever. Shame I'm not a Sham(e)an.

[Khorah]

To make this perfect, we need an addon that changes the favorite pets per toon (when we login).*-*

So much win here... who out there is an addon writer?? This would be chock full of awesome

[Fadaar]

Those of us who have three Mr. Bigglesworth really lucked out!

What I've found at Menagerie L2 is that it randomly chooses five pets to sit in the 'stables,' and the rest of the favorites wander around the garrison.

Just this afternoon, I wandered over to the Menagerie, and Lil' Tarecgosa, Infinite Whelpling, Frosty, Azure Whelpling and Onyxian Whelpling were in the little pens.
As I turned to walk toward the Town Hall, I saw Nexus Whelpling, Crimson Whelpling and Emerald Whelpling in a row headed down the stairs toward the Inn. They went inside, flew around a bit, then came right back out again - all in a row. Then Nether Whelpling suddenly flew over from the Barn to join the line of whelps. I found Dark Whelpling flying in circles around the Garden... I have no idea where the others were.

So (at least currently on beta) it appears that it will choose five (or ten at L3) favorites at random to stable at the Menagerie pens, but the rest of your favorites will be free to wander around your garrison at will.

Thanks for posting pics and for providing a written description - it's really cute and I can hardly wait until this goes live!

Is there a limit to the number of pets I can have favorited? This seems like it could get messy. (And not just for whatever peons will need to be running around with pooper-scoopers)

[Kyozu]

I now wish there were more dog pets with unique models!

Theres the 3 arctic foxes (which to me only counts as one since they look the same)
Alterac Brew Pup
Fjord Worg Pup
Fox Kit
Moon Moon
Tito/Worg Pup
Perky Pug
Frostwolf Pup
Molten Corgi
Corehound Pup? Not "really" a dog, but technically, kinda is...

There are soooo many more dog breeds they can include

[Opallena]

In addition to many of the pets ppl have said above, I think i'll include spirit elementals (such as pandaria spirit pets) in a lineup at some point. These are:

Pandaren Earth Spirit
Pandaren Water Spirit
Pandaren Air Spirit
Pandaren Fire Spirit
Jadefire Spirit
Ominous Flame
Ruby Dropling
Skunky Alemental
Stout Alemental (i think that's the name? the new brewfest pet anyhow)
Jademist Dancer

Wow we have exactly ten with the spirit elemental model... sweet! There's so many "themes" we can do with pets... It'll be hard to pick just one at a time.
