I finally have enough data from the beta to post a decent preview of companion pets introduced in the expansion! This might not be the final list but it's much more impressive than the first one I posted a few weeks ago, I think we had 3 pets back then. And well, you could always visit Warcraftpets, Breanni is nice.
Achievements Rewards
A couple of achievements will reward you with new pets, most of them are Guild Achievements unlocking the ability to purchase these pets for gold in the guild reward panel, assuming you have enough reputation with your guild.
- Armadillo Pup is the reward of Critter Kill Squad (Guild)
- Dark Phoenix Hatchling is the reward of United Nations (Guild)
- Guild Herald is the reward of Saving For A Rainy Day (Guild)
- Guild Page is the reward of Horde Slayer / Alliance Slayer (Guild)
- Pebble is the reward of Rock Lover (Player)
Professions
Professions get a fair amount of pets in this expansion, if your plan is to get absolutely all the pet you will probably have to learn and drop a couple of professions.
