UPDATE: 6/14/2012, new updates-- a handful of totally new additions, and some new descriptions. The Collectors Edition pet is now included, as is a new guild vendor pet! There are no longer any pets that currently exist on live and are missing on Beta.
This is a list of all of the pets that currently (6/14/2012) appear in the Companion Pet Journal on the Beta, along with their lore/flavor descriptions.
Several pets have no descriptions currently implemented, and some are bugged or incomplete. I will check on the Beta every so often to see if the missing descriptions have been implemented.
