You can chill with Pepe in Stormshield! Just mosey on over to "'Tanaan's Fallen", and have a seat on the bench next to him! He is also sitting on the banister in front of the Alliance AH in Stormshield.

You can also find Pepe keeping an eye on things in your Garrison's shipyard in the crow's nest of your transport ship.

Pepe is chilling in a tree in your Garrison, regardless of Garrison level. Clicking Pepe will take him off the tree and put him on your head. You can target him with /tar Pepe. It is worth noting that Pepe is easier to click in a Level 3 Garrison. His locations, depending on the tier of your garrison, are listed below.

Alliance Level 1 Garrison: In the tree to the left of the tent (looking towards the tent) with your command table in it.

Alliance Level 2 Garrison: In the tree directly behind the flight path.

Alliance Level 3 Garrison: In the tree between Large Plot 1 and Medium Plot 2 (two northernmost large and medium buildings to the right of your Town Hall if you are looking at it).

Horde Level 1 Garrison: In the tree to the east of your Garrison behind the fortification (outside the wall).

Horde Level 2 Garrison: Large tree behind the flightpath and to the left (looking towards the hall) of your Town Hall.

Horde Level 3 Garrison: To the right (looking towards the hall) of your Town Hall in a smaller tree overlooking your small buildings.

Clicking Viking Pepe in Nagrand grants you A Tiny Viking Helmet which is the viking costume.

Clicking Pirate Pepe in Spires of Arak grants you A Tiny Pirate Hat which is the pirate costume.

Clicking Knight Pepe in Talador grants you A Tiny Plated Helm which is the knight costume.

Clicking Ninja Pepe in Gorgrond grants you A Tiny Ninja Shroud which is the ninja costume.

You can obtain Pepe themed Fishing Bobbers from a Crate of Bobbers: Wooden Pepe by fishing in the open waters anywhere in Broken Isles.

Pepe makes his way to Silithus to check out what's going on in that zone. You can find him perched in the mountains above the Alliance Camp. Make sure you are in the Legion phase of Silithus to be able to see him! Speak to Zidormi in Silithus (white speech bubble on the map) to change phases if needed.

For the Demon Hunter Pepe. A Tiny Set of Warglaives is purchasable toy from Falara Nightsong in the Demon Hunter class hall Mardum, the Shattered Abyss for 1,000 Order Resources. You can only buy this toy if you have completed the achievement Power Ascended, which requires you to unlock every Artifact Trait for a single artifact weapon after empowering it. Using this toy will put a cute little demon hunter Pepe on your head! And yes, you can use this toy on your non-Demon Hunter characters as well!

Traveler Pepe can be found in many different locations all across New Dalaran. If you are lucky enough to find this sweet orange ball of fluff, you will receive the achievement The Tangerine Traveler upon clicking him, and he will respawn instantly!

Painting Pepe can also be found in paintings all across the Broken Isles, including New Dalaran's buildings, Curiosities and Moore, The Threads of Fate, the Photonic Playground, and even in the Nar'thalas Academy in Azsuna.

During the Insurrection questline, there will be a holograph of Ly'leth Lunastre called Image of Ly'leth Lunastre inside Shal'Aran, and if you speak with her while having Pepe on your head, she will comment on him.

Battle for Azeroth

Clockwork Pepe can be found in Mechagon's alternative dimension just south of Rustbolt. Once in the alternate dimension, Clockwork Pepe can be found sitting on an arch just before entering the cave at coordinates 68, 48. Clicking on him will grant you A Tiny Clockwork Key. To learn more about Mechagon, check out the Mechagon guide here.

Diver Pepe can be found swimming around in the fish tank of Catherine Morgan's cat house located in the main Alliance city Boralus. Clicking on Diver Pepe will give you A Tiny Diving Helmet. Once the item has been used, Pepe will sometimes be dressed in a diving helmet when you use your Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle.

Catherine's Cat House

Spectral Pepe can be found in the Barrowknoll Cemetery, sitting on a headstone in Drustvar after completing the quest Seeing Spirits. During this quest, you will create Gravebloom Salve, which, upon drinking, will allow you to see spirits within the graveyard, including spectral Pepe. Unlike the other Pepe's added in Battle for Azeroth, you can not click on him to get an outfit for your Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle.

Pepe'jin can be found wearing a voodoo mask in the Hot House bar located in the main Horde city Dazar'alor. Clicking on Pepe'jin will give you A Tiny Voodoo Mask. Once the item has been used, Pepe will sometimes be dressed in a tiki mask when you use your Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle.

The Hot House

In Nazmir, Zandalari Pepe can be found wearing a Zandalar mask on top of the Inn in the Zo'bal Ruins. Unlike the other Pepe's added in Battle for Azeroth, you can not click on him to get an outfit for your Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle, but you can at least go say hi to him.

What A Strange, Interdimensional Trip It's Been can be obtained by clicking on Pepe in your garrison and taking him on a perilous journey to slay all of the raid and world bosses of Draenor. Make sure you do not die while doing this achievement because you need Pepe on your head to get credit towards your achievement. Not only will you receive an achievement, but you will also get the toy called Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle, which allows you to summon Pepe any time you like!

Another achievement for him is A Frightening Friend which went live Hallow's End 2015. During this event, Pepe will not spawn in the Tree, but rather in your Garrison Graveyard, atop the Raid Tier grave. To get the achievement, you just click on him. This will give that character access to the Scarecrow Pepe costume.

You do not need Pepe with you when you collect the Pepe Costumes for the achievement I Found Pepe. Learning those costumes will teach the character used to find them, how to SOMETIMES summon Pepe with an outfit on. Click on him to earn credit for the achievement, then learn the item in your bag to add it to Pepe's wardrobe.

*Note: With there now being roughly 1,000 toys, and a good bit of them transforming you into things, this is only a very small example of the toy appearances Pepe can still be seen on.Item and Pet Interactions

Using the Panflute of Pandaria will cause Pepe to come down from the tree in your Garrison and follow you as a minion, hovering eerily at your side. While you have him as a minion, he will not respawn in the tree; however, if you use your Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle, you can have him both on your head and at your side.

Battle Pets with a Critter Kill idle animation will temporarily destroy the Pepe in the tree of your Garrison, but not the one on your head. Some of the pets with critter kill idles are: Creepy Crate, Landro's Lichling, and Willy.

When K'ute casts Touch of the Naru on Pepe, he will fly down and sit on K'ute for a short time.

Blazing Sigil of Ordos and Automated Critter Defense Cannon will kill Pepe. However, Hypnosis Goggles and Petrification Stone, do not work on Pepe.

Wowhead and Pepe

Pepe was the answer to clue #4 for Wowhead's Great Noblegarden Easter Hunt in 2016.

Wowhead released an April Fools' Joke for 2016, announcing Pepe would be an artifact weapon. You can read about it here!

Pepe was the answer to clue #9 for Wowhead's Scavenger Hunt of 2016.

April Fools for 2017, there was another Pepe-themed joke. You can view it here. Featuring a bit of a Pepe invasion, and a Pepe that sits on your mount's head, if only it were real!

Pepe is once again an answer for one of Wowhead's Noble Garden Egg Hunt for 2017.

April Fools' Day 2018, we were treated to yet another Pepe prank. You can view it here. Teasing us with a new achievement, and allied race themed costumes for Pepe. As well as Pepe being added to your head in the dressing room model viewer. Later, Wowhead announced it would be keeping the Pepe in the model viewer for good!

One of Pepe's costumes were the answer to Wowhead's Noble Garden Egg Hunt for 2018.

April Fools for 2019, Overtuned Pepe Goggles! How we wish this were real!

Great guide, I'll use it soon!

Such a cute guide!

good news everyone Pepe will be in Legion....
bad news everyone some of Pepe's follower are not going to make it Q~Q

Comment by bobbyx

I wanted to add that using the toy Carved Ogre Idol also works. You can still use this toy and have Pepe on your head.

Comment by andreios

Great guide! I want to add another amusing toy interaction. Pepe works with the Whole-Body Shrinka', with one catch: Pepe himself does not shrink! He does remain perched on your head, now matching your shrunken height. It's delightful!

Comment by 1418930

I wonder if Jeremy Feasel was a fan of the WCW Monday Night Nitro.

Commentator Steve McMichael, has a little dog named Pepe.

Every episode he dresses Pepe up it a different costume/outfit.

Wonder if that is his inspiration for WoWs Pepe?

Comment by Daydreamical

Thorough, adorable and amazingly written guide.

Thank you for your work and for sharing it! /bow

Comment by Sidhelle

Great guide! :)

There is one typo however, on the release date of the Traveler Pepe Plush, it has the year as 1017 instead of 2017. Just a heads up :)

Comment by Noisia

Pepe is easily the best part of WoW.

Comment by Keldesh

Pepe appears in one of the paintings in Photonic Playground in Dalaran (Legion).

Comment by 1836422

FOUND HIM in Silithus: The Wound at 66.9 13.4
He is very small and hard to spot. He also cannot be interacted with.

Comment by 147342

A Tiny Set of Warglaives costs only 1000 Ressources (since whenever...;)) even though the Tooltip says otherwise.

Comment by 1903210

Not sure if it rewards anything, but found a little ghost Pepe in Barrowknoll Cemetery! https://imgur.com/a/OGKH6NF

Comment by chuilovestoads

Pepe has made his appearance in Zandalar! Saw him tonight with his tiny little troll mask lurking over an inn. Sadly, he wasn't interactable, so no clicking to have him ride on my head for a while! But maybe after I've gotten a bit more rep? A girl can hope.

Comment by danicadb1

I am a lvl 120, I went and got Pepe at Catty Cathys, and I was able to have him on my head; then today I clicked on the helmut and it disappeared completely, and I can't get another one, as I tried! :(

Comment by Solunaren

Is there a way to choose which costume Pepe has on when you summon instead of it being random? Capn' Crackers and Pirate Pepe would look great with my pirate theme transmog.

Comment by xXNiceErJegXx

He is also in the Garrison Graveyard when it's Hallows end for the A Frightening Friend Achievement.

Comment by curselock

I found Pepe sitting over the doorway at the Wayshrine for the Fallen, Zo'bal Ruins in Nazmir :)

Comment by Chonar

Pepe is also hanging out in Kings' Rest! Open the alcoves on the walls right after the first boss, before you fight the four sets of ghosts of ancient troll rulers-- and voila! Ekam Bokum Pepe!

Comment by tresrottn

In this line,
"If you subscribe to Wowhead's Twitch channel you can gain access to the Pepe Emote."
The link is incorrect. https://www.wowhead.com/twitch.tv/wowhead
It should be https://twitch.tv/wowhead

Just thought you would like to know! thanks for the great page.

Comment by 1959267

Can anyone confirm if "A Tiny Set of Warglaives" is a costume for Pepe that gets included in the shuffle, or is it a separate toy in your collection? Thank you!

Comment by thiothixene

Ghost Pepe is a lie !

Comment by Xrikzi

Pepe still there atop my Gift of N'Zoth!

Comment by Sunreaver

There's a new "mecha-Pepe" costume in the alternate timeline of Mechagon. There's a tunnel along the path leading up to The Scrap King's hill (the Kleptoboss entrance). Pepe is perched on the frame right above the tunnel entrance.

Comment by murrlkjljhklrrr

Any advice on how to reach Pepe in the tree when your garrison is level 2? I have tried everything... levitating, being on a tall mount, trying to stand directly beneath him. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Comment by Demongrin

i found him The Postmaster's Office, he is not clickable but he's there with a Viking helmet on.

Comment by Shiva20

How do i find out what things my pepe has?
I didn't know about the BFA ones, so those i don;t have. The rest.... I forgot... hahahaa >.<

Comment by StoneLegion

The new Christmas peep might not be till 2020 Dec :(

The new Christmas peep might not be till 2020 Dec :(

Comment by diabolicfurby

I created and maintain an add-on that allows you to have Pepe on your UI in any of the variants. Check it out: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/pepebuddy
I'm also planning to add functionality to help you farm the appearances in game based on this guide.

Comment by Nighteye

Are the costumes unique to the character that finds them or will they be added to the toy so anyone that uses it can get that appearance?

Comment by Marlowe88

Is there some sort of one hour hidden cooldown before being able to click on Pepe again? I died with him on my head, and now I cant click on other Pepes :3

Comment by Glanestel

There is also a new cameo of Pirate Pepe in Exile's Reach (coords 19.31, 56.40 in The Jagged Coast), where he can be found roasting marshmallows at his camp with a friend. There doesn't seem to be any sort of interaction with him though.

Comment by Valhalen

So there are no new Pepes in Shadowlands? I was expecting them to add Pepe using outfits based on each covenant. :(

Comment by Cruise357

Here are 30 Traveller Pepe screenshots, and that's map-added version

Please make all things pepe account bound!

Comment by Corsina

Is there anywhere that you can check to see which Pepe costumes you already have? The one in game only has 4 listed. Or is there an addon or anything?

If PurgatoryWolf is still around, thank you for this guide! Outstanding!

Comment by Fezik

Found Pepe in Zerith Mortis today after unlocking flying. There isn't anything that comes to mind to interact with it, but here's hoping one of us can figure something out or its just an easter egg.

coordinates are 64.3

Comment by Purgatorywolf

I'm happy people still find this guide useful. I appologize that I have not added anything new to it in a long time. I quit Retail wow during BfA.

Comment by Nyarlatoteph

Thank you for this guide! It shows me I have missed a lot of pepe-related in-game stuff!

Comment by VideoKid

If anyone is here looking for Pepe in Dragonflight, he can be found at/near the following coordinates:

Tuskarr Pepe: Azure Span (Iskaara), 12.9, 48.6
Dragon Pepe: Thaldraszus (Valdrakken), 50.5, 52.9
Explorer Pepe: Waking Shores (Dragonscale Basecamp), 47.3, 82.7

Comment by Belgna

Your guide has been so great!
Also, I just ran into Dragon Pepe in Valdrakken! On the left railing on the way up the giant stairs. :)

Comment by Alaurynn

This guide is so helpful, thank you! Any chance you could update the guide to include changes since Shadowlands? With Plunderstorm Pepe now available through the Plunderstorm game, lots of people are interested in everything Pepe again. I came here to mention a few bugs that people might encounter.

If you earn Plunderstorm Pepe through Reknown in Plunderstorm, he will not be visible anywhere until you have earned the whistle to summon him. Then his Plunderer outfit will be available when you summon him with the whistle.
If you happen to be wearing the Plunderlord's Tricorne of Admiralty on your head and you click on Pepe in your garrison, he will disappear but you will not get the 60 min Pepe buff, and he will not appear on your head. So, sadly, until this is fixed, You won't be able to wear Pepe by selecting him this way.
If you are wearing Pepe and you hitch a ride on a friend's Dragonflying mount (Like the Plunderstorm mount Polly Roger) your Pepe will disappear, so beware if you need him to join your adventures to earn the whistle, you must fly yourself.

Comment by JaxBaenre

As of 12.1 Pepe will show up in your neighborhood on the bulletin board in the town center. Click on him and you get a "nondistinguishable mechanical pepe" as decor.
Any idea why Pepe isn't on my board in the new housing areas? I do have the trans-dimensional bird whistle. I reached out to Blizz support and they sent me to WoWhead lol
