Rare small pets are small pets that are difficult to acquire due to low drop rates, high profession skills needed, or expensive materials.

Rare Due to Drop Rate

Dark Whelpling

 [Dark Whelpling] along with the  [Tiny Crimson Whelpling] are some of the most difficult pets to acquire.

• Size: Size of a bird.
• Drop Chance: 1/1000
• Other type of this kind:  [Tiny Crimson Whelpling] and Tiny Emerald Whelpling.
• Creature that drops this: Scalding Whelp
• Cost at Auction House: 80-150 Gold
• Reason for rarity: You have a 1/1000 chance to get one. The chance does not change based on how many kills you have. It will always be 1/1000 chance.

Disgusting Oozeling

 [Disgusting Oozeling]

• Things that it offers: This cute lil' guy is one of the more unique pets in WoW. While summoned, he debuffs the player, reducing their defense and resistances by 20. Also, he drinks any Dark Iron Ale Mugs dropped near him, providing hours of amusement to bored players.
• Found in Oozing Bags dropped by various high level oozes.
• Reason for rarity: Oozing Bags are only have a 5-10% of dropping off oozes to begin with, and then the bag only has a 1% chance of having the oozeling in it. Additionally, this is more or less the only significant thing that drops off these oozes, so people only farm them with the intent of getting this.

Rare Profession Pets

Magical Crawdad

• Profession: Fishing
• How to get: A skill level of 430+ in Fishing is required to attempt a chance at finding this extremely rare pet, which is only available in the Outlands. A flying mount is required to fish in the proper place to find this. The pet itself has a 1 in 5 chance of being granted when  [Mr. Pinchy] gives you three wishes. Mr. Pinchy itself has a 1 in 500 chance of being caught while fishing in Highland Mixed schools of fish. The very low chances of acquiring it, and the fact that it's Bind on Pickup, makes it extremely hard to find.

Tranquil Mechanical Yeti

 [Tranquil Mechanical Yeti]

• Profession: Engineering
• Size: Roughly the height of a Gnome.
• How to get: Complete a quest called Are We There, Yeti? When you complete the quest chain, you are given a  [Mechanical Yeti]. If you have a high enough engineering skill during the completion for the quest, then the questgiver will give you the schematic. If you are level 60 with 250 Engineering skill, you can get the A Yeti Of Your Own in order to get the schematics for this small pet.

 [Pet Bombling]

• Profession: Goblin Engineering
• For the gnomish engineers: Lil' Smokey is acquired the same way as this pet, but is instead a robot.
• Reason why hard to get: It could cost you over 100 gold.
• How to get: First you need to be a Goblin Engineer, then you need you renew your membership card (you do this by deleting your old one), then you need to pay 2 gold to get a new card. After 24 hours of renewing your card a present will come in the mailbox, it has a chance of being the schematic of the Pet Bombling.
• Cost to make: Around 13 gold.

Rare For Miscellaneous Reasons

White Kitten

• Size: The size of a cat.
• How is found: Bought by vendor for 60 silver.
• Cost at auction house: 10-? gold
• Reason for rarity: The vendor Lil Timmy walks for 15 minutes then doesn't come back for another 2 hours. He sells only one.
• How to get: The vendor spawns near a bridge between the Mage Quarter and the Cathedral Square (34,41) in Stormwind. He then takes a 15 minute walk and despawns. Here is his route: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/897/liltimmysroute9lv.png (The little dot is where he spawns) He only has 1 white kitten on his 15 minute route.
