#45 Tiny Sporebat
How to get the tiny sporebat pet in World of Warcraft, and how rep grinds can be easy!
Alludra the mage here, helping you get the pets now because the battles are coming soon!
A burning crusade pet that I have a soft spot for is the tiny spore bat. You can get this guy for 30 glowcaps from Mycah the Sporeggar Quartermaster located

in Zangermarsh. You know what that means? yup, it's a rep grind!
Awww
I know I know, but hey, rep grinds are something to do right? Now the Spoeggar faction is actually quite easy to grind up. You do the quests given by the Sporeggar people in their home, which is conveniently named after them. Then I just ran the Underbog, soloing it and picking all the sanguine hibiscus that I could find, and turning stacks of five in at a time until I got exalted. There are other quests and such, but I really found this to be the easiest and most enjoyable way.
A fun bonus of running the Underbog? You gain rep via mob and boss kills with the Cenarion Expedition. Now these guys don't have a pet, but they do have a pretty nifty mount! You know, if you like that sort of thing!
Also, you might have heard me mention glowcaps? Well the Sporeggar don't take normal money, instead you have to gather glowing mushrooms from all over Zangermarsh to use as their currency. It's just a shame that you can't really grind the rep that easily!

#43 Nether Ray Fry
Alludra the mage here, helping you get the pets before they become armed!
Gather your pitchforks and leave the torches at home, this week we are going farming.
One pet I just adored back in the day, was the nether ray fry!

This cute little guy is obtained by hitting Exalted with the Sha'tairi Sky Guard. Yeah that's right, exalted. No messing around with these folks! It's all or nothing!
SO how do you hit exalted? Well head on over to the Shatterath Flight master, there should be a 'recruiter' over there that opens up this zone. I basically headed over to Skettis and started farming, doing dailies and quests. Luckily a lot of them are repeatable and it's fairly easy to just farm it up if you are committed to it.
There's another Skygaurd outpost over in blade's edge mountains, and more rep to hbe had in Ogri'la if you want to break up the monotony of repeating the same quests over and over. I know at one point I about ran over there, but that was pre guild bonuses. WowWiki has a great guide available about the rep grind.
At the end, you still have to fork over 32 gold to Grella back in Terokkar (thanks to your new faction discount!) and you have a cute baby Nether Ray to fly behind you. When he's not barely hovering above the ground.
there are also some mounts available too, but let's face it...I'm in it for the pets.
