I had a black mottle boar from Durotar from start to end of my time playing WoW. I didn't really know anything about the stats, but I thought it was a pretty good all-around pet, plus the fact that it could eat anything I fed it. I'll probably grab the little 4-legged garbage disposal again this time around, though it'd be nice to get a fast attack cat (or owl...) as well.

Good stuff! In Vanilla I had a bunch of different pets. From memory I had a cat from Badlands towards the end, but might need to dig out the screenshots and see if my pet is in any of them.

I only made it to 47 back in the day as a young kid, I remember knowing the slight differences across the pets, but obviously never knew which was strictly better than the other. Though was often told about Broken Tooth.

Definitely a big advocate of picking what suits you and what you like, over strictly which stat is better than the other. :)

Question: do you guys think I will need a tanky pet for soloing Maraudon? Say a Turtle or a Gorilla?

Depends on spec I guess.

I've never played a Hunter but I'm planning on rolling one as an alt at some point in Classic.

Is Brokentooth still the best all round pet in PvP against casters in 1.12?

Yes, the pushback is crazy but any mage worth their salt will cc your pet anyway.

But most mages suck.
