World of Warcraft’s eleventh expansion, Midnight, begins with the two pets in the Epic Edition – Hopeflutter and Doomfeathers.
Hopeflutter – Wherever it goes, it leaves behind a soft glow that stirs hope in even the darkest places.
Doomfeathers – It glides through the air with shadowy wings and a trail of eerie whispers.
Smoldering Valor is available from the in-game shop.
With boundless energy and unbridled enthusiasm, the foal seeks the skies. It may not be ready, but exercise caution if you try to hold it back.
There’s also a major change to how pets are collected in Midnight. In fact, most will only be companion pets, meaning they no longer have any battle abilities. At the time of this post, wild pets will no longer require battling to capture. What an awful change for avid pet battlers. Hopefully, there won’t be multiple skins to collect like the rarest Hemospore from the Ringing Deeps.
Vendor
P.O.S.T. Assistant – sold by Collector Ta’steld in Oribos for 2200 Timewarped Badges
While the markets of Tazavesh are a well-oiled machine, the P.O.S.T. service is a whirlwind of parchment, cartons, and rambunctious livestock. The use of P.O.S.T. assistants to handle dangerous material has saved a great many headaches.
Twilight Ascension Event
The Twilight Ascension starts on the 27th January, 2026 and ends on the 2nd March, 2026. Three pets will be available for 30 Twilight’s Blade Insignia each.
- Emerald Sporbit – This collection of spores exploded one too many times on its previous owner. Maybe you’ll have better luck with it.
- Rhay’Dahr – Ever watchful, never blinking.
- Scruff – Gotta be tough with the scruff.
Support a Streamer
The Support a Streamer event is back in 2026. This time, we’ll be able to earn the very cute Fishmonger May battle pet (Woot!) and two decor plushies. To earn the pet, gift two subscriptions to one or two of your favourite channels. As always, you’ll need to spend 4 hours watching a World of Warcraft Twitch stream for the 2 plushie requirement. The campaign runs from February 26 at 3:00 p.m. PST (or the 27th at 10 a.m for us) until March 26 at 3:00 p.m. PDT and is available in all regions where World of Warcraft and Twitch are accessible.
You can never have too many fish according to May.
Midnight Discord Quest
If you missed out on the Razer Naga pet, you don’t want to miss out on this free lookalike from an easy Discord quest. Collect Razeshi C. when you play World of Warcraft: Midnight for 15 minutes. To accept the quest, open your Direct Messages under Discord and scroll down until you see the Midnight quest. Don’t worry, you don’t need to stream this time.

To add the pet to your collection, click ‘Claim Rewards’ to receive the code to redeem on Battle.net.

Dragonhawk Munchkin – Silvermoon Court (Renown 12) sold by Caeris Fairdawn in Eversong Woods for 2,500 Voidlight Marl
This tiny breed of dragonhawk is popular for those who prefer to keep their companions travel sized. Just keep them away from curtains.

With war paint on her fur and a growl in her belly, Naloki dreams of one day roaring like Nalorakk.

A young grovecrawler that has been lovingly cared for by the Hara’ti.
Blitzcreek – The Singularity (Renown 14) sold by Void Researcher Anomander in Voidstorm for 2,500 Voidlight Marl
Evolving in the Voidstorm has really made its smaller inhabitants significantly more aggressive.
Medusa – Slayer’s Duellum (Revered) sold by Thraxadar in Master’s Perch for 2,500 Voidlight Marl
She hates head pats, hence the spiky armor.
Flicker – Magisters of Silvermoon Court (Luminary rank or above). Sold by Apprentice Diell in Saltheril’s Haven, Eversong Woods when you choose which sub-faction to invite to Saltheril’s Soiree. Costs 200 Brimming Arcana.
A rare black-furred Eversong lynx kitten, its fur faintly thrumming with arcane energy, bred by Silvermoon’s Magisters as both companion and conduit of magical study.
Prey

This wyrm can’t wait to grow up big and strong so it can hunt Prey too!
Voldy – sold by Construct V’anore for 800x Remnants of Anguish
Sometimes the void’s call is faint, so smaller, younger voidwalkers heed its call.
Achievements
Although there won’t be much pet battling content, three family metas have been added. I’m not particularly motivated to complete these achievements, and those initial pet battles aren’t much of a challenge, but you can work on these right now. The tamers can only be battled once a day, though, so you’ll need to visit them every day until each family has defeated them.
Family Battler of Kalimdor rewards Moon Darter
Since Amirdrassil’s emergence, many faerie dragons have taken refuge in Belameth. But many others continue to call Kalimdor home.
Family Battler of Eastern Kingdoms rewards Byrn
Its insides are a raging inferno. Its outside is happy pup.
Old World Family Battler rewards the Magical Pet Clicker (toy)
Family Battler of Northrend rewards Webbers
Web ball! Stone of reality! Web ball! Stone of reality!
It seems odd that the rewards from a battle achievement are companion pets, but here we are. Stay tuned for my Family Battler playlist if you’re after some strategies.
Gortham – Go to the Nexus-Point Xenas dungeon. In the corridor leading to Chief Corwright Kasreth, there are 5 Corespark Conduits. Each player must stand on one for a few seconds, then a Netherstorm Structural Cage will spawn in the middle of the corridor. Open the cage to rescue Kasreth’s experimental pet, Gortham. Note: You need to be level 90 to click on the cage. You will also receive the FoS: You Conduit!
A living anomaly and Kasreth’s most treasured experiment, this pink-furred creature scampers joyfully through conduits and pipes.
Midnight Dungeon Hero – complete each dungeon on Heroic. Rewards Niblet
Here are the pets you can expect from Midnight’s launch. Sadly, the majority will be companion pets, while there are 8 battle pets to collect.
Quest
Luma – Thief at Bark [80] Starts with Second Time’s a Choice in Eversong Woods.
Luma knows all kinds of tricks such as “sit,” “stay,” and “steal.”
Hawkstrider Hatchling – First Step Into Parenthood [80] Starts with One Adventurous Hatchling in Eversong Woods. Head to 56, 35 Thuron’s Livery and pick up all 3 quests. It hatches into the Hawkstrider Egg after a day.
When does a hatchling become a fledgling if hawkstriders never fledge?
Emberwing Hatchling – A Quiet Farewell [83] in Zul’Aman. Starts with the quest The Path of Mourning offered by Chana (45, 69) in Amani’Zar Village.
Born near the funeral pyre in Solemn Valley, this young eagle’s burgundy feathers still carry the scent of smoke and ash. A quiet reminder that even in loss, something new can take wing.
Assistant Botanist Leafy – Re-Hydra-ted [83] in Harandar. Starts with the quest Drift Them Away from Ney’tar in Har’athir (69, 50). Tip: Pick up all four budlings at once to see where to release them.
Assistant Botanist Leafy is an expert at identifying edible plants… which is all of them.
Linda the Lucky – O.K. Bloomer [83] in Harandar. Starts with Light Disturbance from Hannan in Har’alnor Den (31, 65).
This potadpole is grateful for your assistance after having been exposed to the Lightboom.

A roiling memory drawn to you from the Rift of Aln.
Fidoficus – Mighty and Superior [88] in Voidstorm. Starts with Harvest of Darkness [88] from Ravenia (52, 67)
While it didn’t make a good test subject, perhaps it will make a good companion.
Midnight Safari
Catch every wild pet (21) in Eversong, Zul’aman, Rootlands, and Voidstorm.
Rewards: Do, child of Fi’lo
Like his father, Do speaks little but is a friend to almost everyone except those who harm innocents.
Isle of Quel’Danas
Wrathful Wyrm – found mine in the Sun’s Reach Sanctum (46, 27)
It’s popping wings! Run!
Nether Familiar – found one at 43, 14 around Sun’s Reach Harbor and the 34, 15 Western Sungrove area.
Arcane-infused wyrms are favored familiars of Eversong mages.
Eversong Woods
Amber Treeflitter – The forests of Eversong have enjoyed a recent influx of these flying critters.
Violet Chick – These prissy, flightless birds are known to relentlessly groom themselves. Much like their riders.
Vibrant Manaling – The mana wyrm population really picked up after the Arcane Torrent nerf.
Harandar
Azure Sporebat – Seems to be the most common.
Distinct from the sporebats that reside on Draenor and Outland. It’s just a coincidence.
Silkcrawler – Totally gonna transform into a beautiful winged creature, yup. It just might take a few dozen years.
Mud Potadpole (rare) – spawns around the Nordrassil Roots area. It may share a spawn with the Azure Sporebat, so make sure you capture or kill it. I finally found mine at 69, 29.
They do NOT taste like potatoes. Promise.
Rootling Nester – found mine napping at the base of a tree in Nordrassil Roots (66, 37)
Young grovecrawlers are known to curl up around the ankles of its protectors for rest.
Waddles – there’s one that instantly respawns at 61, 17 in the Glade of Walking Memories.
Waddles was rejected by the other cave skippers and fell through the cracks, literally, all the way down to Harandar. He’s known to follow around people he finds.
Zulaman
Akil Fledgling – found mine on the path leading up the mountain below the Temple of Akil’zon (49, 81)
The molted feathers of these young eagles are used to build comfortable bedding for the Amani.
Gloom Toad – found mine by the water at Nalorakk’s Prowl (36, 81)
Have a hoppy day!
Striped Snakebiter – on the grassy area by Atal’Abasi (50, 57)
These creatures were bred to hunt snakes. With a low profile and a long body, Snakebiters are perfect for chasing serpents into their own holes.
Swamp Biter – a little further inland at Leech Bog (44, 53)
Lurking beneath dark waters with needle sharp teeth. You can bite and drink their blood too, though. It’s allowed.
Ebon Snapling – found mine at the Shrine of Kulzi (42, 49)
Oh snap!! Lizard!
Dragonhawk Mosswing – found mine at the Temple of Jan’alai (55, 22)
These dragonhawks developed in the wilds of Zul’aman, where their green feathers and molt help them hide from hunters and predators.
Pangolil (rare) – he spawns on The Skybridge. Found mine walking east from the western end (41, 54).
He’s scheming. Smirking. Don’t trust him.
Voidstorm
Blistercreepling – You’d think with all those spikes, it might pop its own pustule sac. But no! Its pustule sac is actually really sturdy! Pustule sac!
Devouring Runt (27, 72) found one near the Exaliburn treasure below the Stormarion Keep area.
Hungry? Try eating your foes!
Voidcrawler – Formented in the chaos and dust of Voidstorm. It hasn’t even learned how to hate yet!
Riftblade Familiar (rare) – spawns along the ridge at the Obscurion Citadel. Found mine at 62, 73.
Rumored to be the familiar of a ren’dorei mage that escaped to the wilds of Voidstorm and became even more void infused.
Silvermoon City
Silvermoon Broom – only seems to spawn around Falconwing Square, but it’s rare, so it’s not part of the achievement. If you see this one, snap it up fast!
Magisters love to turn on their enchanted brooms before heading off to work, only to find it stuck in a corner of their Silvermoon apartment.
Drop
Bubbly Snapling – looted from the Patient Treasure that can randomly spawn from fishing any node in Midnight.
What a happy snapling!
Hexed Bunny – drops from the Delve’s End of Run Rewards
In the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ziorg’pharon – drops from the Delve’s End of Run Rewards
Ziorg’pharon, Emissary of the Cosmic Unknown, Ender of All That Is, Was, and Will Ever Be, or Zigy, as his friends call him, is physically incapable of harming a fly.
Nibblesworth – drops from the Delve’s End of Run Rewards
Very unhappy. Always goes for the jugular. Kind of cute.
Sporbie – drops from the Delve’s End of Run Rewards
“In this house we don’t lay spores in people’s ears when they sleep, no matter how funny their face is when they wake up.”
Lost Star – drops from the Delve’s End of Run Rewards
Nothing is known for certain, though some believe it calls the night sky its home.
Treja’saka – drops from the Delve’s End of Run Rewards
A curious species found only within treasure chests. Harmless enough, unless you happen to be wearing jewelry.
Spormilian – drops from the Delve’s End of Run Rewards
Waddles around in a constant cloud of spores. Harmless? Hard to say–we’re still waiting on the research team… or what’s left of them.
Princess Bloodshed – drops from Dame Bloodshed <Lynx Matriarch>(45, 38) in Eversong Woods
Taking after her mother, Dame Bloodshed, the Princess is armed with the sharpest of claws and the furriest of ears.
Ominous Domanus – drops from Nullaeus, the Midnight Season 1 delve Nemesis.
Truly evil, undeniably powerful… but above all, spectacularly lazy.
Treasure
Dali – drops from the Burbling Paint Pot in Eversong Woods
Dali, bored of his days basking in the comfort of the Solaarian Sunbath, seeks a world of new inspiration. You are that inspiration, and he will bring color to your world.
Sunwing Hatchling – drops from the Rookery Cache in Silvermoon City.
Born and raised in Sunwing Rookery, this fella loves causing mischief when the tamers aren’t looking.
Nova – drops from the Slayer’s Duellum Trove in the Masters’ Perch zone. This is the Paragon Cache for the PVP Slayer’s Duellum faction in Voidstorm.
He is a lover, not a battler.
Scruffbeak – hatches from the Weathered Eagle Egg in Zul’Aman. You can find it in the Abandoned Nest (42, 52) in a hollow tree.
Hatched from a long-forgotten egg, this scruffy little eagle has decided you’re its new flock, whether you’re ready or not.
Perturbed Sporebat – drops from the Impenetrably Sealed Gourd in Harandar. Enter the cave at 27, 67. Pick up the red and blue fluids on the lower level, mix them on the upper level, then use the mixture on the treasure.
After being rudely stuffed into a gourd in a vain effort to treat a Lightbloom infestation, this sporebat’s just grateful to be out.
Percival – is just chilling in Kemet’s Simmering Cauldron (55, 39) in Harandar. LOL!
This potadpole is constantly getting stuck in things.
Nether Siphoner – drops from the Quivering Egg (31, 44) found under a skeleton in The Molt area of Voidstorm.
A gnashing maw of teeth and tongues. This beast bears an uncanny resemblance to Azerothian leeches.
Willie – drops from the Half-Digested Viscera (37, 69), take the left passage inside the cave in Voidstorm.
This bold elfhound was born to chase mana wyrms, and mana wyrm-shaped objects… Like unattended sausages.
Kai – drops from the Victorious Stormarion Cache in Voidstorm. This is the reward from the Stormarion Assault weekly event. It happens every 30 mins and is a tower defence activity.
Formed by the latent energies from the Singularity Anchor this Behemoth will be loyal till the end.
