All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsPandaren Monk pet has moves

MMO Champion has datamined up some video of the new Pandaren Monk vanity pet that's been floating around, and as you can see above, it's pretty darned awesome. Just like the Grunty the Murloc pet, this one comes with some fun animations, and they look terrific. Blizzard has been pretty coy about getting the Pandaren into the game, and they're teasing big here, too -- this little bear's got moves that would make the Diablo III Monk hang his head in shame.
However, the question remains: how do we get it? At this point, it's just speculation and rumor -- some say it might be a special anniversary pet for people who've been subscribed all five years of the game's life, some suggest it might be part of the Cataclysm collector's edition (past CEs have had a pet in each one, including a Diablo figure in the first box), and still others suggest that the Monk will be a new pet in the upcoming Brewfest holiday. How do we get it, really? We won't know for sure until we hear it from Blizz.

Jack Kelly is right. None of the dropped pets are BOA, and neither are the achievement pets. That leaves promotional or CE. It's too soon for CE and they are probably gonna stick with the whelplings (twilight whelpling gets my vote), so that leaves:
- Promotional (NOT tcg because the next tcg pets have been confirmed.)
- Chinese servers (Unlikely and just plain unfair, lol)
- 5 year anniversary (impossible too, because it's already been confirmed that it'll be a little onyxia.)
So, it won't drop, it won't be an achievement, it'll just be promotional. Personally I think it'll be for the WoW Magazine.

Panda people are a retarded idea, and I will just delete mine if I get one in the mail.

This is where the fanboys downvote me into oblivion again.

No, you get downvoted because you're an asshole. Always have been.

If the Pandaren make it into the game as playable characters and this

isn't their dance, i'll be VERY disappointed.

I think it's probably for the International Blizzcon. Who knows? Maybe they're getting an early start on that gift companion.

That's a slightly redesigned tuskarr. If the actual race ever actually appears in-game, I certainly hope they put more effort into the model.
Just saying.
