The War Within Adds 80+ Battle Pets!

August 26, 2024
The War Within is live

The War Within is officially live this week! Explore the Khaz Algar, capture new pets, battle new trainers, and earn some awesome achievements and rewards!

New Pets In The War Within
This expansion includes 80+ new battle pets to collect. Here's a quick summary of what to expect:

  • 37 wild pets
  • 19 dropped pets
  • 18 pets from vendors
  • 6 pet quest rewards
  • 4 achievement pets
  • 1 profession pet


Check out The War Within pets!

Many more pets were datamined during early testing, but we'll have to wait and see if/when those additional pets become available to players.

New Trainers, Challenges, Achievements
Pet Battlers will find new trainers and boss NPC pets to go up against on Khaz Algar, with one of each located in each zone.

There's a total of 8 new encounters, however only 4 are objectives of the new Family achievement. These trainers are available to battle even when their associated WQ isn't active. Check out Xu-Fu's Pet Guides for tips and strats on these new battles!

Waxwick
Speaking of achievements, there are a number of new goals to set your sights on. These are either Pet Battle-related or reward a battle pet.



Interestingly, the Family Battler achievement currently doesn't have a meta-achievement with pet reward like previous iterations.

Next Collecting Milestone?
One final accomplishment that players might attain at the start of this expansion is the collecting achievement that was previously added in Dragonflight Alpha. It was removed for being unreasonably out of reach for collectors at the time, but players reported earning the achievement's pet reward during The War Within Alpha/Beta.

Mister Muskoxeles
During testing, collecting 1800 unique pets seemed to trigger the achievement and rewarded Mister Muskoxeles (pictured right), even though no such achievement currently exists and the pet cannot be found in the Pet Journal.

We can only speculate that the achievement and pet is either being incorrectly rewarded or they're improperly implemented. It's unknown what will become of this achievement and pet, and we'll have to wait for a future hotfix.

Promotional Pets
Watcher of the Huntress, Trolli, Lil' Flameo
Don't forget there are a few promotional pets, two of which are available right at the start of The War Within official launch for a limited time.

Happy collecting and battling, everyone! See you on Khaz Algar!

While the article highlights exciting new content, it also acknowledges some potential issues, such as the unclear status of the Mister Muskoxeles achievement and pet

Re: Mister Muskoxeles. So, when you get the pop up to say he's been awarded, he actually IS in your pet collection, however cannot be found in your pet journal. However, is you use /summonpet Mister Muskoxeles then you can summon him and you can also use a pet stone on him to make him level 25.
