Patch 3.2.2 PTR: Pandaren and Lil' K.T. pets revealed in latest build

Boubouille over at MMO Champion has once again been rooting around the patch files and he came across the first model of the aforementioned pet. Isn't he cute? Heavy on the Chinese aethetics, we have no idea how you'll be able to get this little guy. While datamining, Boubouille also discovered another hitherto unmentioned pet, Lil' K.T.. Yes, you too can have your own pocket-sized Kel'Thuzad, a tiny trophy-sized lich to call your very own! Again, we're not sure how you get one. Here's hoping he drops off his full-sized self in Naxx but who knows? For now we just have a spell note in the files
And as a note, please remember that Pandarens are not a playable race, nor is this an indication they will ever be added to WoW.
2n - 1 go left, 2n go right. I don't see enough DoTs! More DoTs now! Are you ready for the return of Onyxia? With the Brood Mother being revitalized as a 10 and 25 person raid, you'll need to be sure you know everything that's coming at you. WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.2.2 will make sure your set for the next patch!

I wonder how one gets a pandaren pet.
Jay Aug 28th 2009 5:06PM
They probably drop off of Pandaren mobs...

Pandaren and Lil K.T.: Cataclysm's Collector's Edition's pets?
Hmmmm?

I'm thinking Brewfest for the Pandaren...

I also thought they'd be collector's edition stuff, but I can't help but wonder if 'lil KT is actually a voodoo doll carried by Arthas.
Is Arthas into voodoo?

I'd imagine this is a Brewfest thing for this year. The timing is about right for that (only 1-2 months away, right?), and in WC3 the Pandaren's only class was the Brewmaster.

Agh its a lazy Tuskarr reskin. BAD Blizzard! :(

Wow Cowy, you're right! Didn't notice until I read your post and scrolled back up. Yeah, that's kinda lame. =\

I want it. I want it now.

"And as a note, please remember that Pandarens are not a playable race, nor is this an indication they will ever be added to WoW."
So, Pandaren will be playable next patch? Holy crap! That's WoW.com bringing you the scoop!!

So a fully animated model of a race that has some part in the WoW universe is no indication of a new race but face masks are a 100% pure fact of a new race when it was first announced? I chuckled about that :P

They arnt playable, they are obtainable...
Carver Aug 28th 2009 5:28PM
@ Barinthos
It's pretty much just a reskin of the Tuskarr. If it was going to be playable, they wouldn't just reuse an old model.
Firestride Aug 28th 2009 5:37PM
How can you still mock the masks? He was right! He was 100% right!
Barinthos Aug 28th 2009 5:40PM
I know they aren't playable...I was just laughing at how they expressly stated that these are NOT playable and in no way an indication of them being playable but the Worgen and Goblin MASKS were a clear cut indication that they were playable.
I just found it humorous is all.
Kcaz64 Aug 28th 2009 6:16PM
How are the masks not solid proof? There are models of other races in the game, but not all are playable. ALL of the masks were of playable races when the masks came out.
Halloween masks are the most clearcut proof you're really ever going to get outside an official confirmation
NOTE : The masks added after of orges/murlocs and such were of immensly lower quality than the goblin/worgen ones. It's pretty obvious blizz just put those in after the fact to troll us.

I broke the news that Panderen will be the next playable race on my blog all the way back on August 11. I still stick to my guns, that this whole Worgen/Goblin ruse is just a red herring.

Skraps.

@Carver
Well goblins were also just reskined dwarfs at first =p
Dreadskull Aug 28th 2009 5:07PM
Now for a flood of "zomg Pandaren will be a playable race soon!" posts on the forums.

I have a feeling it might have something to do with brewfest, but who knows. I'm hoping one of them is for a 100 pets achivement.
