Four year anniversary pet and feat of strength achievement

by Adam Holisky Nov 22nd 2008 at 9:00AM

Those of us waking up today and tomorrow will log into Azeroth and find in our mailboxes a little Baby Blizzard Bear non-combat pet. This pet will also give you a feat of strength achievement celebrating World of Warcraft's four years online.

This is a nice little way for Blizzard to thank all of us for spending years in the game. With over 11 million people playing WoW, and Wrath becoming a hit overnight, there's definitely a lot of celebrating to do over at Blizzard HQ.

The little bear that you get looks a like a small version of the BlizzCon Polar Bear Mount those of us lucky enough to attend BlizzCon this year got. It's a perfect traveling companion for you as you adventure around Northrend.

Edit: The pet is active on US, EU, and Oceanic servers.

Thanks to Mangowire for sending us the pics you see below.

Oh.

My.

God.

Not only is this the most awesome minipet ever, but now my hunter will have a bear minipet as well alongside his bear pet and bear mount.

This is awesome.

Yay for Blizz!

You must really like bears.

I'm not actually _that_ huge of a bear fan normally, but in WoW I've managed to become a bear maniac. It all started as a bear being the best choice of pet at the time when I started my hunter, then the bear mount coming up and looking more awesome than any other mount, and now this. Gotta keep the style up.

Need to grind my Timbermaw to exalted one day...

Bears are soulless, godless, rampaging killing machines.

Godless??? They're bears...

Watch any Comedy Central, Oldgirl? :P

Gotta admit, this is one REALLY cute mini-pet. Grats to Blizzard on 4 years of WoW and here's to another 4 years (at least)!

Note that the pet is also bind on account, so any alts that you don't log on with today or that you create in the future can still get the pet.

I was a little confused when I learned the pet on my main and still saw it in my inventory, so I just deleted the thing. Fortunately, on an alt I noticed the "account bound" text before deleting it.

My brother & husband both play hunters, and both have bear pets stashed.....

So...I pull up on my bear mount dragging a Panda Bear along, while my brother & husband bust out their pets, and both of them bust out their Baby Blizzard Bears.

We're like a mix-maxxed version of the Brady Bear Bunch.
