6th Anniversary, Moonkin Hatchling and Lil' Ragnaros Now Available

Moonkin Hatchling and Lil' Ragnaros Now Available

We're pleased to announce that the two recently revealed in-game pets, Lil' Ragnaros and the Moonkin Hatchling, are now available in the Pet Store section of the online Blizzard Store at a price of $10 each.

Lil' Ragnaros, the Tiniest Firelord

Ragnaros, the dread master of all fire elementals, will return in Cataclysm to avenge his defeat in Molten Core. And what better way to head into battle than with a miniature version of the firelord himself following at your beck and call? Lil' Ragnaros, just like his full-scale namesake, burns with constant fury (not to mention flames that serve as a handy cooking fire) and comes equipped with the legendary hammer Sulfuras. And as a being of pure elemental fire, he has no need to walk from place to place -- he just submerges into the magma below the world's surface when you start walking and reemerges when you stop.

Moonkin Hatchling Charity Pet -- For the Children!

The googly-eyed Moonkin Hatchling, which comes in unique Horde and Alliance versions, will occasionally plant flowers at your feet, and happily /dances with any willing partners. Like last year's Pandaren Monk, the Moonkin Hatchling has a soft spot for helping children. For every Moonkin Hatchling adopted from November 29 through December 31, 2010, Blizzard Entertainment will donate 50% of the $10 purchase price to the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.


Thanks to the support of all the World of Warcraft players out there who purchased the Pandaren Monk last year, we were able to donate more than $1.1 million to Make-A-Wish this past February. We’re looking forward to making another big contribution to this great cause on behalf of the World of Warcraft community following the close of this year’s promotion.

Ragnaros submerging instead of walking? And serving as a cooking fire and wielding a tiny sulfuras? Must have!
And the moonkin too, planting flowers and dancing with people? How awesome is that.

Its amoral to abuse charity to make money for yourself in this way, so you can forget about that Blizzard.

Yeah blizzard, I'd rather children die painfully and never have any joy in their short lives than have part of something you were going to sell anyway go towards that. Blizzard what a bunch of assholes.

I Do not see why they sell these pets for RL money but when it comes to buying gold for that broke toon thats a huge nono, come on blizz you make 99mil a month just off of us signing up monthly, why do you need more money for some dumb pet. Why not put the pet in game and make a cool achievement that you have to do to get the pets. No that would probably be to hard like putting out a game on patch day with no bugs so that the ppl that pay 14.99 a month to you guys can actually say that it was worth it. This in no way has anything bad about mmo-champion you guys are great and thank you for bringing us our nerd news for the day.

On one side you have the people who abhor charity donations and on the other you have people that abhor spending money. If its that big a deal don't buy it.
