The Shadowlands expansion introduced a wealth of new content into the already massive World of Warcraft. The expansion included the addition of 24 wild battle pets, as well as dozens of battle pets that can be earned by completing activities in the game.
Unlike combat pets, battle pets do not attack enemies or opposing players. The small pets are used in a mini game added to WoW called pet battles. There are so many new battle pets that it is difficult to include them all in one article. For the sake of brevity, this list will include every class of battle pets and where to find them.
Wild Battle Pets
There are an incredible amount of battle pets in Shadowlands that can be acquired throughout the massive maps. To make this list as clear as possible, all of the battle pets are organized alphabetically followed by where to find them.
