Companion

Minipets (also known as small pets and "player", "trophy", or "vanity" pets) are usually animals that follow you around. They're purely for show, and do not attack or get attacked. They're basically there to look cute and/or start conversations.

While some pets can only be purchased by certain factions, most can be traded at the Gadgetzan Auction House.

You can own as many small pets as you like, though you can only have one out at a time (unless you know about the lag bug).

For a list of articles on these types of pets, see the Small Pets category.
