Smart move stockpiling the videos for release after the launch of SL. Naturally the number of people looking up WoW content is noticeably higher following a expansion release and you're bound to get significantly more views! I love seeing your content pop up on my notifications so I'm happy to see so much was in the hopper. Cheers.

The Sun Darter hatchling is a great hidden pet. Lots of prep needed before you can get it.

Totally surprised me when Hiru pronounced Francois correctly

Thanks for the Glimr section, I've been looking for my 3rd F2P murloc battle pet for my all-murloc team!

Jenafur is an insanely secret and hard to get pet, requiring a timed objective, a quest chain, and some very hard to notice clues.

The Bumbles pet can be used to kick off the quest chain for the bee mount for alliance players, just as an FYI :)

I’m surprised Jenafur wasn’t on this list considering how obscure she is.

I really want more of these videos, but not only for pets but mounts,transmogs and weapons if they exist.

One of my favorites was the kirin tor familiar. Read all the hidden books in dalaran, but they only spawned once like every 8 hrs.

Hiru doesn't need sleep, he doesn't need rest...he just needs videos of warcraft....

I got Francois thanks to one of my guild mates both telling me about the pet and also loaning me enough gold to get it. My guild friends are awesome :)

"So many people are bad at making gold." I feel so attacked.

Jezz hiru, are you okay? I'm loving the videos but are you alright man?

Ba’al was an interesting find because everyone trying to solve it thought they were doing a secret quest for the Hivemind mount instead.

Regarding Rosaline, as Hiru didn't say it: She can be inside a wall and not reachable.

Hiru pronouncing Francois correctly, but not other words makes me wonder if hes intentionally trolling people in these videos.

@3:30 The pig might also be a reference to Homer's Odyssey (the one from ancient Greece). :) In Odyssey,Odysseus (the King of Ithaka) after the war against Troy,he wandered all around the (as far as we know) Aegean Sea,from island to island. On one of the islands there was a witch living,here name was Kalypso. Kalypso was turning all men (obviously,since back in ancient times women didn't have much or many privilages) into different animals. So,as i said this whole turning people to animas might also be a reference. :)

I think you were spot on with the secret pets but there are also some secret pet vendors in Kul Tiras that are barriers to a couple pets. You can buy the pets on AH but simpler to unlock the vendors. There is the one vendor in Drustvar you unlock after stealing the kids candy and then replacing the candy with chocolate cake in the tree house. The other vendor is in Boralus and you unlock by winning PVP pet battles and talking to a specific NPC.

Thank you for giving us something to do over Thanksgiving weekend

3 pets in and this is already amazing. I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Also, French person here; that is how you say Francois. 5/7

Love the video. Even with all your other channels, I still miss all of your pet battle content.

hirumaredx , The World of Warcraft Historian

Love your videos! I've been able to obtain a number of cool things because of your efforts. :) FYI, after a LOT of cursing and such, I successfully got the final pebble for Baa'l! If anyone is still trying to get to the Fatigue Cave for the final pebble, I highly recommend getting yourself a Shimmerscale Diving Suit and a Shimmerscale Diving Helmet! They absolutely made ALL the difference!

Pig is also reference to Odyssey where all of people in legend turns into pigs because of Callipso's curse

Best shadowlands video ever.

The Sprite Darter Hatchling from vanilla was an excellent hidden one. First of all, it was Alliance-only. You had to find a very off-the-beaten-path NPC to start the quest chain (who was hostile to horde), and the first step is a timed quest that is very easy to fail and gives no indication that there will eventually be a reward. You have to go on through a lot more steps that take you all over the world, again with no indication that this is leading to anything worthwhile, and if you just stumbled into it while questing these quests would go gray unless you specifically stopped to go finish that (seemingly unimportant) chain. It's been made very easy to get since then, and also available to horde, but at the time it may have been one of the hardest to discover up there with the Westfall Chicken.

You are on fire. How are you making so many videos? Hope you are well and not overworking yourself

What is the addon you are using for Battle Pets at 4:37? It looks so clean, I would love to use it

This sort of stuff is what wow needs for next xpac, hidden stuff, quest chain rewards, unique items, exploring the continents, gathering specific items etc.., they should also make some huge improvements to professions

i love glimr so much it’s SOOOOOO cute but omg i need baa’l for my collection. desperately.

Definitely bookmarking this one

great video, however, I would like to know what are those wings that character has at 11:25

Could you please do a video about the World of Warcraft Iceberg image? I know some of the topics on the Iceberg have already been talked about on this channel but a full video would be awesome. You can even use the clips from other videos to explain those one you've already talked about.

Spot on with Francois

Having an editor really steps up the production process it seems

The Westfall Chicken its the first secret pet on the game, since vanilla :p

IIRC for the bumbles pet, there is no need to do it 7 days in a row. you just have to create the potion 7 times actually.

What about Jenafur? by far a much harder pet to get than any of these, right?

Uhm. What are the names of your background music?

I feel like the video woefully undersells the amount of work and questing required for Baa'l if you don't already have Una and alts!

I wonder who was the mad one to first find all this random as tiny stones around the world for baal

Great video! What is the battle pet UI during Terky?

Westfall chicken is the best "secret" pet even if it's not a secret anymore. I remember when I started playing wondering why someone in goldshire was spamming /cluck on a chicken and being mad at the spam then the quest popped up and my mind was blown

Good vid hiru, always like ur pet videos

I liked these pet battle videos, it would be nice if he made more every now and then. Seeing as there isn't much new battle pet content that might not happen though

video idea: 10 best easily obtainable battlepets to beat most world quests, pet battle bosses, dungeons and trainers

didnt know about #1 thank you!

I'm in torghast and just learned about glimr, gotta leave i guess.

hello, @hirumaredx , the taptaf story remebers me about a greek legend , about a semi god female mage, named Circe, who transformed people into pigs permanently, she's famous because she was in the Odissey (and because she made the ones who wrecked on her island into pigs in order to make feast for other people who wreked on her island)

we were used to secret finds.. raptor nests have been a thing for a long time

Amazing video as always! What was the pet addon that you were using that expanded the journal?

Huh took me a minute to realize why i knew thus voice. I watch your yu gi oh vids a lot . pretty neat to be able to watch you while trying out wow

So many releases! Also, can you do a top 10 hated zones for WoW? i know Vashj'ir was a hated zone by most, but me, as a Boomking on the expansion... loved to pvp there, because of the super duper useful Aquatic form, that could go up to 300% even in combat... or so i remember, maybe it was 200% well, i could move stupidily fast and world pvp (the little there was at that time) was ultra FUN! as undergeared as i was!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Baa'l is actually pronounced as bale, as in one of the names of the devil from Diablo 2. Not trying to be a smart ass, just saying that I think that's how it's pronounced. 🙂

Quick question in reference to that pet that was only available to Asian servers. If you were to created a character on an Asian server just to get that pet, would it be account bound and you be able to have it on your characters on the America's server?

Taptaf the pig is a reference to the anime Seven Deadly sins. Also there should be a hunter pet and flying mount specifically based on this NPC skin model.

Wish I knew bout the chicken before I brought my bruto

Actually Bumbles is very special, it and one other bee battle pet are required to unlock the faction for the alliance only bee mount.

No Westfall chicken?

Surprised the recently figured out cat pet wasnt talked about, jennafur i think

Man, I've levelled a bunch of alliance characters through BfA, but hardly knew any of these pets

Off the top of my head, and I’m showing my age here, and there’ll be loads more, since I didn’t know about half of these; Singing Sunflower. There’s a secret Plants v’s Zombies game (apparently it was a popular retro game, but I’ve never heard of it) You have to win a few games and get this pet. Hilsbrad area, my gf done mine, then told me to check my bags., wowhead will probably have a guide or someone will, JubJub- This is still available to get, I got it in the old dark moon fair, it just needs a bit more time to find it now. Firstly go to BRD, get 10 or so (it use to be two), go to the fair when it’s up, find JubJub, he around the fair (a target/mark macro might work 🤷‍♂️)coax JuJu back to an orc lady. Collect your Jubling. Wowhead will have better instructions. Can’t even remember what this one is called, filthy slime or similar, but I sold it for 75k in very late bfa. It should be soloable or with 2. Set it to normal m+, (m0.)Clear the 1st boss and on a bit further, until you come to the cells, your looking for key to open a cell with, there lying around, not hard to find, there’s a sort of L shaped cell, go in and round the corner, there’s a tube type hole in the wall. There’ll be a post on wowhead or something to give exact areas. Go through it, you’ll see a filthy bucket, click it, kill the guys that spawns, 20% drop chance (ish) of a 50-100k pet (if anyone will buy it). Quick could- feed the horse near your farm in MoP apples, do it regularly, you’ll get a pet. In mop, top right of the map, there’s an island north west, a big worm swims round it called G’nathus, he drops a pet 100% of the time, and is up regularly. He gives “the spawn of G’nathus (that name may be off- WoW head spawn og g’noth g’nathus, it’ll come up. Along with the white murloc in the video in Northrend, there are 3 more, different colours. I just have one other, it’s from old Dalaran, a quest starts there in the pet shop if I remember, the other ones are Mrrrgl glimmer and something. There was one for each blizzcon, so there might be a few more. There basically just recolours. If anyones interested, I’ll have a think about any other Easter eggs. I’ve played since tbc which was about a 100:years ago, and done everything from playing the ah for months before lvl 30 or wrath came out, (and continued that) mythic raiding (it was called heroic, normal and flex at the time), m+ mainly with aotc raiding in BFA, and stopping playing soon after shadowlands came out, until it was in a reasonable state (round about 9.,2) and quite casually now, so I was always interested in new, rare, unknown things. And making a bit of profit.

Getting Baa’l is the last thing i ever did in wow, did it when it was first discovered, havnt played since

Missed Jenafur and also the Filthy Slime pet from Tol Dagor

Hi hiru, what is the addon you are using in the footage for NPC dialogue? In your addon video you introduced Catch the Wind and Storyline, but the one you are using now seems better and less buggy. This type of addon really incentivize questing for me and I really want to know its name. Thanks for the great video!

What about Jenafur? ;)

Jenafur is missing from this list since it took so long to work out all the steps. Baa'l was especially frustrating.

I you can, do a Shard Labor guide , its probably one of the most search things in wow right now, at least for collecting guide

Yes! Another pet video 👌

What Ui are you using at the bumbles part? looks amazing

i asked a friend of a friend to borrow the gold for francois, and in return they wanted me to show them where to obtain it so we both went and got one

Odd you didn't put Jenafur on this list...

The moment before pet battles were introduced, I had every single pet available in the game (i.e. without buying out-of-game stuff like CE or Blizzcon codes) except for one. The Archeology Crawling Claw, because even though I spent literal dozens of hours maxing and farming archaeology the game simply refused to ever give me any sites in Uldum. After that, the number jumped up so drastically that I had no hope of ever finishing so I lost interest in ever farming for pets ever again.

I actually got Taptaf the pig from running away from a bunch of alliance on my DK before flying was available, could keep up with my extra mount speed *and* water walking. I ended up running all the way around the zone and found the house, killed the gnome because all gnomes must die and the pig just walked up and talked to me.

whats the song around taptaf called?

Jenafur is a pretty cool secret cat 😏

I just now realized that Taptaf is Fat Pat 😱

Lol typical , just went looking for Terky, only to get there grab the egg and find out I've already gotten him. many years ago... so that's 2 off the list down, have Baa'l already as well .. might as well try for the ever elusive TLPD while I'm in Northrend.

So salty that I didn’t get Francois when I was saving for my spider mount and had 1 (& eventually 2 mil). Took me SO long to save that much, but I guess I’m at it again. I’m at 200k on my... Francois journey. xD

Hiru I love how you pronounce everything

I got Taptaf and i didn't know it was a secret

Blink 3 times if someone is forcing you to grind out these uploads

For bumbles it just has to be complete the daily 7 times total, not in a row. I missed it a few days and still got it.

Is anyone able to tell me what song is playing in the background at the start of Taptaf's section? o:

oh i found that 1st one while playing ^^

But what if the real secret pets were the friends we made along the way?

can i ask what is the background music?? ty

#10 - Ahhh... so THAT's what the Wolf Pup Spine is for! i didnt know what was going on when i picked it up. #9 - WTF?? that's one greedy little chicken! wont befriend me unless i own a million gold, what a way to encourage Gold Farming, Blizzard! #8 - hmm, makes me wonder who "Fatpat" is, as that's the Pig's name backwards, maybe a dev or a friend of a dev has that nickname, Blizzard are known for inside jokes. #7 - funny thing about this one, i actually stumbled onto finding Terky myself, cant remember what i was doing to stumble onto that cave though... hmm.. #6 - well that sounds like a pain in the booty... guess i'll just have to keep my eyes peeled and be swift. #5 - well damn, all this time i had no idea there was a Battle Pet waiting for me in those Assaults. #4 - surprised that i could get my hands on two different bees in one little zone. #3 - lol "He's back from the Gravy, and he doesnt give a Cluck whose in his way, because he's SEARING mad and out for Vengeance! Vengeful Chicken, coming soon to DVD!" #2 - i cant shake this feeling that this was a nod to Goat Simulator, because you can turn your goat demonic in the game. #1 - Glimr is one of the newer additions, i cant believe that it got #1 on this list, because Baa'l sounds way harder to get, i just see myself dying a couple times getting it, not losing hours trying to locate pebbles! you have to do another of these lists, at least one more, so we can talk about Jenafur and others that didnt make the cut, like the original Westfall Chicken.

What sword is your dk using?

Idej = Jedi ?

HOLY SHIT HIRU PRONOUNCED FRANCOIS CORRECTLY. The whole world has actually catapulted into an alternate dimension where everything is backwards. Maybe we really are all in a Matrix-like simulation. I don’t even know anymore. What the fuck is going on? They’re the Berenstein Bears. I feel so cold.

What's the name of ur DK's 2handed sword?

@hirumadex please link that song it is soo good

In all honesty in my opinion I don’t think Mr Polymorph Piggy isn’t a meme & is about the darker side of mage spells in lore The only reason though is that there’s this one book in game that says how New mages sometimes accidentally blink into walls or into OTHER PEOPLE (like damn) but they get stuck in them and then suffocate and die so I wouldn’t be too surprised if in the lore some mages have gotten people stuck polymorphed permanently 😅🐷

Fatpat is a melon. And he's adorable.

François was pronounced perfectly!

I'm almost at the battle pet cap, the first one, so I gotta find a way to get one of the two upgrades.

Hiru : franswah Also hiru : foil age

Nice frequency of video posting.

Everyone must know the chicken you get from /chicken xD
