Jonathan LeCraft, Senior Game Designer, recently Tweeted a preview of a new pet coming in Warlords of Draenor, a Bronze Whelpling! [source]
This pet has been on the wish list of many collectors for a while now. Adding the Bronze Whelpling will finally round out our collection of little dragon companions, making each dragon aspect collectible in pet-form.
LeCraft mentioned some additional trivia regarding the Bronze Whelpling. [source]
He went on to explain that the Bronze Whelpling's delayed release was due to some "complex data corruption error" that needed to be sorted out.
It's still a mystery where this pet will come from, but more details are sure to come in the near future. According to LeCraft, the Bronze Whelpling should be added to the beta in an upcoming patch.
Just received one as a drop from a Ironmarch Grunt in Nethergard Keep
not to outdo mary, but in addition to a chromatic whelpling, twilight whelpling, and possibly tamable versions of nether and the frosty undead whelpling, now before anyone complains, just remember, the onyxian whelp(the 5th anni one) and the gryphon you need to buy a $25 plushie for both have tamable copies ingame
While we're on the subject of missing dragons, why is there no Azure Serpent Hatchling?
I'd love a chromatic whelpling, too, tbh. I used to wish every time I did the Warchief Blackhand event that he (or the chromatic dragonspawn) would drop one. It's just a recolor, right? Right? Pretty please? With cherries on top?
what about the orange whelpling?
Yay, finally!
FINALLY!
"Complex data corruption error" and "created in 2004"
