A few new achievements were for added
pet collectors in the latest PTR patch today, according to
Wowhead. The small patch on the test realms contains three new achievements for players who collect 100, 125, and 150 non-combat pets.
Just as with previous pet collecting achievements (
Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart,
Lil' Game Hunter), our obsessive efforts will once again be rewarded with a unique pet. We've seen
Nuts' Acorn in the patch 4.2 game files before, and the Celestial Dragon (pictured above) appeared in game files back in
Wrath of the Lich King, but the Brilliant Kaliri is a new addition. Currently, there aren't any datamined pictures of the pet, but I can only assume it will be very similar to the
Kaliri mobs found in
Skettis and other zones from
The Burning Crusade.
One thing I'm curious about with these pets is if they'll have any special animations or Easter eggs like previous pets have. If you remember, the
skunk pet from the 50-pet achievement pays tribute to Pepé Le Pew from Looney Tunes by chasing nearby
Black Tabby and
Bombay cat pets.
The news is already rolling out for the upcoming WoW Patch 4.2! Preview the new Firelands raid, marvel at the new legendary staff, and get the inside scoop on new quest hubs -- plus new Tier 12 armor!
