Nobody’s mentioned it? It’s the Luggage. :D I happened to be standing somewhere with the new pet out, kind of bored with it, just a box, yawn. Out of the corner of my eye, I see something purple flash, then the box has a fart cloud, and a TONGUE? Wander around a bit more and see it crate grip a rat and eat it, and laugh so hard my cats fled the room. Love it. :D It’s as good as the suicide turkey and easier to get. :D

The familiar (the cat in a witch hat) rides a little broom if you mount a flying mount, too, and apparently comes in different colors. I’ve seen it both black and orange tabby.

Really disappointed in the mini wickerman, a campfire that takes up a bag slot, boo.

Too cute and too funny, and I’m very glad you made it work!

I’ve just started playing Alliance after being Horde for 6 years (I’ve done the starter zones for Ally before, but never really got anywhere in the past.) I didn’t know there were catacombs in Stormwind until I did the crate quest. I’ve been learning a lot of new cartography in a game I thought I knew where everything was – lol. And yes, I too went to the farmers cows and ate them up…

(and the bombing run in UC beats the bombing run in SW – not trying to stir up HvA arguments, but IMNSHO, Alliance wins the overall Hallow’s End experience.)

Sounds like I need to show this to my daughter. She’d LOVE that ‘Crate. :)

Great blog. I laughed at the part about the cows apparently needing to be whipped to death with a fishing pole. I also was not even aware that the crate ate critters. thanks!

I need to see how the Crate reacts to the RoboSheep in that one area on the border of Elwynn and Burning Steppes… :-D

I got one of these last night on my main and just thought…”how odd…a box for a pet…/dismiss”.

Tonight, I’m getting it on my alts.

Thanks, BBB…and what an awesome memory you have made for your son!

Great post BBB. Thank you for sharing.

Your son and I have “critter killin’” in common. For some odd reason I just love to kill the cows. Their animation and sound when killed are just a riot (the deer come in a close second with bunnies following closely behind). After getting my Creepy Crate I noticed it ate a critter, which I was unaware of….I just thought it was a crate that followed you like some other pet. So, what did I do? Go to your son’s favorite cow killin’ location in SW and giggled with glee (so to speak) as it gobbled up those 5 cows. It is now my new favorite companion pet and all of my toons will have one.

Also, not sure how closely you watched the crate eat, but after it does it licks it’s lips…I kid you not…once the green smoke from it starts to disappear a tongue comes out and runs along the open edge of it’s “mouth” and licks from left to right (as you face it). That is what threw it into the “favorite” position for me. Eating critters was awesome on it’s own…licking it’s lips afterwards is what pushed it over the edge and made it tops for me.
