So, while on my Orc Warrior killing ogres in the Ruins of Alterac with my
Pint-Sized Pink Pachyderm
out, I thought to my self; "How could this pet fit my character lore-wise?"
I came up with the idea that my pet is part of my Warrior's training, having to protect your pet from all harm so you will also be better at protecting your allies.
My Warrior is only level 44 (Relatively weak), So his pet is a thick-skinned and healthy pink elephant, and it can only be seen by drunk people (Which are weak targets).
But Saurfang, one of the greatest Warriors of all time probably has a little bunny; a small, fragile and delicious (In the eyes of predators) creature which is extremely hard to protect.
You just don't know he does because he protects it so well that you don't even know it exists.
Thoughts?

First off, I'd like to QQ about Blizzard naming mini-pets companions, and demons, ghouls, or beasts, pets.
~~~~~
According to dictionary.com:
Companion: a person employed to accompany, assist, or live with another in the capacity of a helpful friend.
Pet: any domesticated or tamed animal that is kept as a companion and cared for affectionately.
My "pet" wolf hangs around me constantly and kills stuff with me. Killing is an activity, no? My "companion" bird follows me around everywhere and looks pretty.
~~~~~
If I had to come up with a lore reason for some of my mini-pets, it'd be something like:
Since I am a hunter, and nature is my habitat, I tend to befriend multiple creatures. Some visit me occasionally, while others travel with me from time to time. Unlike my wolf or bear, these animals are here to keep me company. Some may even bear news, while others just want to be protected.
Each person or being keeps a pet for their own reasons, whether it be for sport, companionship, looks, or some other cause.

I keep my wolvar orphan because form a lore reason I'm training him to be the great warrior he's meant to be, and to teach him a lesson about the hells of war, and the whole bunch.
wolvar are a warrior tribe, it's fitting that my enhance orc shaman adopted one as both aprentice, and adoptive child.
I never demand him to call me "dad" or "master" or anythign like that, because I see him more as a sidekick, and a companion than rather an aprentice or a son.
and of course if anyone tries to even dare to harm the kiddo, I show them just how dire my "unleashed rage" can be when provoked.
besides, being a shaman I love to be surrounded by wolves
(my last name is Villalobos, wich in spanish it means roughly "half-wolf" xD thanks blizz for adding feral wolves to the shamans, now add more wolverine skills to my class >.<)

I love the idea of Saurfang having a little baby bunny as his pet.
I can just see it:
Noobers says: Lol, Saurfang has a bunny!
High Overlord Saurfang's eyes glow red.
Noobers has died.

I thought it was purely based on the fact the goblins or gnomes caught these little pink things and sold them as prizes. Whats more to say then that, its all about profit!
