New Perky Pug animations

MMO Champion has dug up a few more animations for the already popular Perky Pug pet, which you will be able to obtain in patch 3.3 by running pickup groups with random players (the current guess on the pet is running with 100 random players, but of course we won't know for sure until it appears on the live realms). The first few animations in this video just look like the Pug has been tweaked a bit (looks to me like that weird leg thing got fixed), but the last animation is definitely new. MMOC suggests you might not want the pet any more after you see it doing this, but I guess Blizzard wanted to go for realism.
Personally, I'm still going for it. Dogs are dogs, and I'm going to be running with the new LFG system (actually, according to the last patch notes, it's called the "Dungeon Finder system" now) anyway, so I might as well go all out and get a vanity pet and the "Patient" title along with all of the other good stuff you usually get from running a ton of heroics. Perky Pug, here I come!
Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to Arthas. WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.3 will keep you updated with all the latest patch news.Filed under: Patches, Items, Fan stuff, Blizzard, Instances, NPCs

Or there is poop stuck to his butt. Pure win!

Butt scooting is only very rarely related to worms or defecation.

^ this. so much.
:D

Don't forget that after it scoots, it sniffs the place where it scooted. It's gross, but about 100x funnier.

Pugs dragging their arses. I wonder what that's a reference to.

My wife just about wet herself when she saw the last animation, especially when it turned around to smell. I foresee many bad PUGs in my future...

The butt drag sold it for me...bring on the random groupage.

This. I hate pugging and haven't run heroics with any regularity since I out geared them (which was what... about a year ago?). However, I'll have to go once more unto the breach, my friends, to get this pet. The scoot and sniff is too much awesome to not have this pet.

To be fair I think the new LFG is going to make it a lot less painful (For me anyway). For me it's only a *little* bit frustrating when a group fails. The thing that *really* annoys me is when you spend SO MUCH TIME trying to find a group, THEN have it fail. This sort of takes that away.
Though if PTR is any indication, the real annoyance will be when people drop group because they hate [OK, AN, OCULUS, WHATEVER] and you have to find another group. Or in a timed Heroic like CoS when someone leaves halfway through and then no one else wants in because the timer is losing. Bleck.

"MMOC suggests you might not want the pet any more after you see it doing this"
Why wouldn't I want the pug when I -trained- it to do that? Only on Arthas' rug though, of course.
GuyverIV Nov 30th 2009 12:26PM
You just don't do that to a man's rug, man.
...that rug really ties the room together...

Arthas: "H-hey...this is a private residence...man!

I personally find the new animation a bit on the tacky side, but I'll pick up the pet for my character eventually I guess. WTB ankle biting animation for the pug.
perderedeus Nov 30th 2009 9:18AM
How.. frighteningly accurate.
Utakata Nov 30th 2009 1:50PM
...more like how grossly disturbing. :(
So what's next with vanity pets, Blizz...steaming turds? *Coprophagia? Random leg humping?
*Note: You can Wiki that...I really don't want to explain that if I can help it. :(
Utakata Nov 30th 2009 2:52PM
Oh my...
...the way, I've been voted down...it appears many players like poo in their game. Oh well..bring it on then, I guess. Amberseeds for the win!

No, it's because you're being a douche bag.
