''Were you looking for the [[Great Tree|Great Trees]], the portals to the Emerald Dream?''
'''Companions''' (a.k.a. '''small pets''', '''non-combat pets''', '''mini-pets''', or '''vanity pets''') are small creatures (or mechanical replicas thereof) that follow your [[player character]] around. They are mainly for show. Several of these companions have their own characteristic behaviors (see individual descriptions).
 
   
  +
'''A World Tree''' is a giant tree grown by powerful Night Elf Druids. There are only three confirmed World Trees.
Companions cannot [[attack]] or be attacked in the normal sense, however, {{loot|rare|Sleepy Willy}} will kill [[critter]]s, {{loot|rare|Clockwork Rocket Bot|Clockwork Rocket Bots}} will battle each other, and {{loot|uncommon|Crashin' Thrashin' Robot|Crashin' Thrashin' Robots}} "will fight other fighting robot companions", a PvP game within the game. Companions have a small hidden amount of health and can be killed by the pet swimming in lava, standing on fires, or other environmental means of damage.
 
   
  +
==[[Nordrassil]]==
You can own as many companions as you like. Each one you acquire is added to the pets section of your character sheet.
 
  +
Nordrassil, which means "Crown of the Heavens", was the original World Tree planted on the summit of [[Mount Hyjal]] after the [[War of the Ancients]]. It was blessed by the [[Dragon Aspects]] to grant immortality to the [[night elf|night elves]] and to allow their druids to enter the [[Emerald Dream]]. The power was unleashed after the [[Battle of Mount Hyjal]]. Sadly, Nordrassil was destroyed by this event, however, in Cataclysm Nordrassil has partly regrown.
   
  +
==[[Teldrassil]]==
The Blood Parrot, spawned from the {{loot|uncommon|Bloodsail Admiral's Hat}}, and the Coyote Spirit, spawned from {{loot|rare|Don Carlos' Famous Hat}}, are exceptions and are summoned from the corresponding item. These are both items of apparel of some value in their own right, and having the item of apparel disappear when the pet is spawned would not be a welcome change. Because these two pets spawn differently than the other companions, they are not currently counted toward the pet [[achievement]]s.
 
  +
Located on an island of the same name, off the coast of [[northern Kalimdor]], the Giant Tree Teldrassil — which means "Crown of the Earth" — was an unsuccessful attempt by Archdruid [[Fandral Staghelm]] and his compatriots to restore the night elves' immortality, lost with the destruction of Nordrassil. Teldrassil is currently the only standing (uncorrupted) world tree.
   
  +
==[[Grizzlemaw|Vordrassil]]==
Peddlefeet, when spawned by being shot with a {{loot|common|Silver Shafted Arrow}}, is also an exception and does not count toward the pet achievements.
 
  +
Vordrassil was a failed attempt at a World Tree, located in the [[Grizzly Hills]] of southern [[Northrend]]. Destroyed by the ancient druids, it is now the site of the furbolg city of [[Grizzlemaw]].[http://www.worldofwar.net/articles/413379/wrath-of-the-lich-king-hands-on-report/page2] The [[Old God]] [[Yogg-Saron]] sleeps beneath its roots, and appears to have been responsible for the corruption of the furbolg ({{questlong|Neutral|75G|Ursoc, the Bear God}}). Yogg-Saron's corruption was also the motivation for the destruction of Vordrassil.
   
  +
==Other possible World Trees==
You can only have one companion out at a time, and summoning another one replaces the one that's already out.
 
  +
Another possible World Tree is shown in a piece of concept art titled [[Idrassil]] and is found in ''[[The Art of World of Warcraft]]''. However, it is probably just an early version of Teldrassil.
   
  +
Another candidate is known as the [[Great Tree of Life]], and appeared in the official [[Azure Tower Defense]] scenario map for ''[[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]]''.
Once summoned, companions will attempt to accompany your player character as you move about the game world. Some appear to be better at this than others. Jumping down from an elevated location will often send a companion off on a circuitous route to reach your new location. If your companion gets left behind, it may catch up and reappear, but may have to be re-summoned. There is no penalty for re-summoning. (The Tiny Snowman is stationary, and will not follow you.)
 
   
  +
== Mythology ==
If you are [[teleport]]ed or use any form of transportation that reloads the environment your companion disappears and has to be re-summoned. The only [[ship]] or [[zeppelin]] that doesn't is the ship between [[Teldrassil]] and [[Darkshore]], and the zeppelin between [[Orgrimmar]] and [[Thunder Bluff]]. If you log out your companion disappears and has to be re-summoned during your next session.
 
  +
The idea of a World Tree is almost certainly a reference to the World Tree of Norse mythology, Yggdrasil. Their names are similar, they both have wells underneath them: the [[Well of Eternity]] beneath Nordrassil, and the Well of Urd beneath one of the roots of Yggdrasil. Also, a dragon, [[wikipedia:Níðhöggr|Nidhoggr]] gnawed at the roots of Yggdrasil, which could reference back to either [[Deathwing]] or [[Archimonde]]. These parallels only apply to Nordrassil, the "true" World Tree, and not Teldrassil, the "false" one. (The idea of a beast gnawing at the roots may have some sort of connection to Yogg-Saron and Vordrassil as well.)
 
  +
[[Category:Lore]]
While some companions can only be purchased by certain [[faction]]s, most vended companions and many dropped companions can be traded at [[Auction House]]s. Companions obtained through quests are [[bind on pickup]] and cannot be sold. Pets you learn how to summon cannot be learned again, so you are prevented from owning duplicate pets.

[[Category:Night elves]]
Also, for some reason, most companions have 42 hit points.

== Game considerations ==
 
Though intended to be a cosmetic accessory, companions have some impact on the game.
 
 
A {{loot|common|Disgusting Oozeling}} projects a "Disgusting Aura" when it accompanies its owner. The aura reduces the owner's [[defense]] and all [[resistance]]s by 20, and colors its owner green as if the owner were [[poison]]ed.
 
 
Companions do not stealth. If your character uses stealth, your companion will reveal your presence.
 
*In [[PvP]], companions will reveal your location to opponents.
 
**A {{loot|rare|Wolpertinger's Tankard|Wolpertinger}} can reveal your location to your party, and will be invisible to your opponent (unless they are inebriated).
 
**During and shortly after the [[Love is in the Air]] seasonal [[event]], {{loot|common|Silver Shafted Arrow}} can be shot at your opponents to mark them with a Peddlefeet companion.
 
*In [[PvE]], mobs do not notice companions, so having one can be useful to indicate your location to party members.
 
 
Flying [[pets]] of any sort can sometimes interfere with clicking to target. This affects the pet owner, PvP opponents, and even party members desiring to buff or heal the pet owner. This is not normally a significant problem, but in the midst of frantic PvP combat, the interference can be noticeable.
 
 
The {{loot|rare|Soul-Trader Beacon|Ethereal Soul-Trader}} will vend several items to its owner. One of these, {{loot|rare|Diluted Ethereum Essence}}, is designed for being used in combat (but see {{loot|common|Elixir of Detect Lesser Invisibility}}, the impact is minor). The other items are a set of costume items with no stats that allow you to dress up as an [[ethereal]], a ball that can be played with in-game (there are others, such as {{loot|common|Heavy Leather Ball}}), {{loot|rare|Ethereal Mutagen}}, which will transform a non-combat pet into a [[fleshbeast]], and {{loot|common|Ethereal Liqueur}}, a conjured alcoholic beverage.
 
 
=== Achievements ===
 
*{{achievement|Can I Keep Him?}} grants 10 achievement points when you ''obtain a vanity pet''.
 
*{{achievement|Plenty of Pets}} grants 20 achievement points (and replaces 'Can I Keep Him?') when you ''collect 15 unique vanity pets''.
 
*{{achievement|Plethora of Pets}} grants 30 achievement points (and replaces 'Plenty of Pets') when you ''collect 25 unique vanity pets''.
 
*{{achievement|Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart}} grants 40 achievement points (and replaces 'Plethora of Pets') and a {{loot|rare|Reeking Pet Carrier}} is mailed to you when you ''collect 50 unique vanity pets''.
 
*{{achievement|Lil' Game Hunter}} grants 50 achievement points (and replaces 'Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart'), and a {{loot|rare|Little Fawn's Salt Lick}} is mailed to you when you ''collect 75 unique vanity pets'' (Added in Patch 3.0.8)
 
*{{achievement|Looking For Multitudes}} grants 10 achievement points and a {{loot|rare|Perky Pug}} is mailed to you when you have grouped with 100 random people for WOTLK Heroic Dungeons. You must finish dungeons.
 
 
As noted above, the Blood Parrot (see {{loot|uncommon|Bloodsail Admiral's Hat}}) and the Coyote Spirit (see {{loot|rare|Don Carlos' Famous Hat}}) are spawned from items rather than learned, and are not currently counted toward the pet achievements. Similarly, the {{loot|uncommon|Crashin' Thrashin' Robot}} created by engineers remains an item due to its cooldown characteristics.
 
 
== Temporary companions ==
 
There are companions that can be acquired for a time that aren't normally regarded as companions, but pretty much do the same thing as permanent companions. Many of these are in the context of a quest. Some examples are the orphans for [[Children's Week]], Peddlefeet from the {{loot|common|Silver Shafted Arrow}}, Nass from {{questlong|neutral|75|Kickin' Nass and Takin' Manes}}. None of these count toward the pet count achievements. When a temporary companion is spawned your current companion is despawned.
 
 
Note: The {{npc||Snufflenose Gopher}} might appear to be a temporary companion, but will draw [[aggro]] like a [[combat pet]], even though it does not fight.

**This second method of obtaining Peddlefeet is limited to around two weeks after the Love is in the Air event, depending on when the Silver Shafted Arrow (duration of 10 days) is looted from the container.

==Bugs==
 
[[Patch 3.0.2]], Oct 14, 2008, introduced the companion inventory item, the container, as a charged item with a single charge that spawns the companion in your pets section. After the patch was introduced, all existing pet items (i.e. those in the mail, in your bags, in the bank, etc.) were disallowed from being put up for auction. The auction system would see the pet items as "an item with charges used" and would not post them. These items are still usable, but simply may not be auctioned. New pet items created after the patch, by purchasing from a vendor or receiving as loot, may be auctioned as before.
 
 
==API==
 
As of [[patch 3.0.2]], a number of companion-related functions have been added to the [[World_of_Warcraft_API#Companion_Functions|World of Warcraft API]], chief among them [[API GetNumCompanions|GetNumCompanions()]] and [[API CallCompanion|CallCompanion()]].

Vordrassil from World of Warcraft.

Were you looking for the Great Trees, the portals to the Emerald Dream?

A World Tree is a giant tree grown by powerful Night Elf Druids. There are only three confirmed World Trees.

Nordrassil

Nordrassil, which means "Crown of the Heavens", was the original World Tree planted on the summit of Mount Hyjal after the War of the Ancients. It was blessed by the Dragon Aspects to grant immortality to the night elves and to allow their druids to enter the Emerald Dream. The power was unleashed after the Battle of Mount Hyjal. Sadly, Nordrassil was destroyed by this event, however, in Cataclysm Nordrassil has partly regrown.

Teldrassil

Located on an island of the same name, off the coast of northern Kalimdor, the Giant Tree Teldrassil — which means "Crown of the Earth" — was an unsuccessful attempt by Archdruid Fandral Staghelm and his compatriots to restore the night elves' immortality, lost with the destruction of Nordrassil. Teldrassil is currently the only standing (uncorrupted) world tree.

Vordrassil

Vordrassil was a failed attempt at a World Tree, located in the Grizzly Hills of southern Northrend. Destroyed by the ancient druids, it is now the site of the furbolg city of Grizzlemaw.[1] The Old God Yogg-Saron sleeps beneath its roots, and appears to have been responsible for the corruption of the furbolg (N [75G] Ursoc, the Bear God). Yogg-Saron's corruption was also the motivation for the destruction of Vordrassil.

Other possible World Trees

Another possible World Tree is shown in a piece of concept art titled Idrassil and is found in The Art of World of Warcraft. However, it is probably just an early version of Teldrassil.

Another candidate is known as the Great Tree of Life, and appeared in the official Azure Tower Defense scenario map for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

Mythology

The idea of a World Tree is almost certainly a reference to the World Tree of Norse mythology, Yggdrasil. Their names are similar, they both have wells underneath them: the Well of Eternity beneath Nordrassil, and the Well of Urd beneath one of the roots of Yggdrasil. Also, a dragon, Nidhoggr gnawed at the roots of Yggdrasil, which could reference back to either Deathwing or Archimonde. These parallels only apply to Nordrassil, the "true" World Tree, and not Teldrassil, the "false" one. (The idea of a beast gnawing at the roots may have some sort of connection to Yogg-Saron and Vordrassil as well.)
