You may remember that we recently told you that Worldwide Invitational attendees would be receiving a Tyrael pet as part of their goodie bag haul as soon as patch 2.4.3 went live. The PTR servers when down for a little bit of an update a while ago, and when they came back up, WoW Insider commenter Darkra came through with the picture of my new favorite pet, which you can see above.
It's actually pretty strange, he looks both cute and bad ass at the exact same time. I'm not sure how it pulls it off, but I suppose that's just the awesomeness that is Tyrael. Congratulations to all you WWI attendees on what is surely the coolest non-combat pet to date, and for those of us unlucky enough not to make it to the WWI in person, let the Ebaying begin!

if I was you I wouldn't sell it you might not be able to find a curtain item in game and someone else might so you could trade it for that curtain unique or maybe black and white item. or if your a cool friend you could lend it to your friends for like a few hours or maybe a week when you go on holiday. I don't know if runewords would look good in d3 as we need a different form of increasing power like maybe enchantment like when you get a set there will be different levels to the set and the maximum level giving you new abilities and what not that way it would stay simple and it would give purpose to gold if that is what it takes to enchant/upgrade an item.
