Rare Anubisath Idol14% droprate from Emperor Vek'lor in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.Anubisath Idol is one of the most praised pets of all time. Given its diverse movepool, you can switch between Sandstorm or Stoneskin depending on the situation. Deflection offers it a powerful one-turn dodge, while Rupture gives it a strong Elemental attack. Its Humanoid passive, combined with its large H/H health pool makes this pet a true tank. Use him in PvE and PvP alike.

Uncommon Wild Kun-Lai RuntEncountered as a wild pet in the snowy peaks of Kun-Lai Summit.Kun-Lai Runt is a powerhouse. With his resistance to Critter-type attacks and a litany of Beast-type counterattacks, he is a double counter to the vast amount of Critters all around Azeroth and Draenor. If you wish, you can also choose Frost Shock, Deep Freeze, and Takedown for a perfectly viable three-part synergy.

Common Wild (Seasonal) Qiraji GuardlingEncountered as a wild pet by the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj in Silithus.This pet is only available between June 21 and September 21 (the Summer season in the Northern hemisphere).Qiraji Guardling is a cheap alternative to the Anubisath Idol, carrying a very similar moveset of Crush, Sandstorm, and Blackout Kick. In most cases, this pet is inferior to Anubisath Idol, but it has a few different builds available. If you are aiming to use Blackout Kick, you must invest in S/S. However, this breed will negatively impact your survival. Also, the move is generally less effective than Deflection because it does not incur a cooldown on the move you avoid, can't affect Critter or pets immune to stun, and can miss.The other viable breeds available to this pet are H/H, P/P, and H/P, which use Reckless Strike in the last slot instead. This move is very strong but should never be used with any additional Speed. The P/x breeds can also use Whirlwind/Hawk Eye, but never pair Whirlwind and Sandstorm together.

Uncommon Corefire Imp11% droprate from Magmadar in Molten CoreCorefire Imp is a really tricky pet that works well with a tanky team. By using Immolation, it is able to both rack up damage and to heal 4% each turn from the backrow (due to its Humanoid racial). Cauterize also allows it to actively heal. If your remaining pets are able to survive for 9 turns, Corefire Imp can heal a very significant portion of its life back. In multiples, this pet is able to cripple most teams without sustaining any significant amount of damage. However, it is severely vulnerable to Undead moves.



Fiendish ImpDrops from Terestian Illhoof in Karazhan (Raid).Likewise, the Fiendish Imp plays very similarly with Immolation, but has Nether Gate instead of Cauterize. This ability forces the opponent to swap pets, and arguably makes Fiendish Imp the better choice for both PvE, but especially PvP. This pet does come in a variety of breeds, however, so make sure to grab the S/S type.

Very Rare Bonkers1.5% droprate from Timeless Chest on the Timeless Isle. Speak with Master Kukuru to trade in 0 Timeless Coin for a Kukuru's Cache Key.Bonkers is not a true necessity, but is nice to have. He has two unique abilities: Going Bonkers! and Tornado Punch. He also has Dodge (which replaces the former), in case you need added survivability. Remember that Speed is key for dodge and stun moves. With the slight boost in regeneration from the Humanoid passive, Bonkers may become hard to kill. As a minor sidenote, Bonkers' Bite allows him to act as a minor double counter to Critters.

Uncommon Wild Flayer YounglingEncountered as a wild pet on the border of Terokkar Forest and Hellfire Peninsula.If you don't want to go through the hassle of getting Bonkers, Flayer Youngling is a good alternative with Deflection. Invest in Speed if you aim to use Kick. As an added bonus, he acts as a double counter to Critters with Triple Snap and Rampage.

Store Pandaren MonkPurchased using real money in the Pet Store.Like other Humanoid pets in this list, Pandaren Monk boasts powerful crowd control moves. At the baseline, he has Blackout Kick. However, if you combine Fury of 1,000 Fists with an external Call Darkness, you achieve a much better effect. His middle abilities make him very well-rounded, giving you a choice of Focus Chi for offense and Staggered Steps for defense.
