World of Warcraft Small Pets Guide

This page is dedicated to those cutest of critters, the small pet. Most small pets don't do anything but run around with you and hide in your packs. Combat pets will fight with you side by side. Unless it is a combat pet, your small pet can't get hurt when you take him into battle.
