The War Within Pre-Patch is live this week, and there will be three new pets to collect from a limited-time event (coming Soon™)! [source]
Memories of the Past
From July 30, 2024 to August 26, 2024 players can take part in a new event, Radiant Echoes, and buy unique collectibles with the event currency. [source]
Players will be prompted to head to Dalaran (Northrend) and then directed to one of three possible active zones. Initially, events will be spaced out every 90 minutes, but will occur more frequently as weeks go by.
Defeating familiar creatures and bosses and completing various tasks in an active Radiant Echo zone will help progress the three stages of the event. Doing so will earn players Residual Memories, which can be used to buy three new pets (pictured above).
These pets are Bind On Pickup and cannot be caged, so be sure to take part in this limited time pre-patch event if you'd like to collect these pets! Check out Blizzard's Radiant Echoes Overview for additional information.
Epic Edition Bonus Pets
Everyone will need to wait one week after Patch 11.0 goes live for the Radiant Echoes event, but owners of Squally won't need to wait for a few new feathery-friends. [source]
Players that have Squally (reward for purchasing the Epic Edition of The War Within) can summon this pet and pick up a new quest.
Complete 'Gryphons of a Feather' to receive the following pets (pictured above):
It's unknown if players can pick up the quest from someone else's Squally, but it's likely only players that have the Epic Edition of the upcoming expansion will be able to obtain the quest.
If anyone come by this post again,, I can confirm that it was marketing language for "please buy the expansion NOW". The 3 additional sibling pets to collect are still available in the Epic-package if you buy the expansion now (a week after launch).
Just a quick note. The champion level gear that you can get from the vendors ALSO drops from the bosses. Don't spend any money on them until you have all your pets and whatever mounts you want. No need to spend cash on what will eventually drop for free. But get hose PETS FIRST!
Anyone know if one of those 3 new pets from the Echoes might drop from the Boss?
I read the part about pre-order but in my experience it could just be marketing language for "you will be able to get it later as well but please buy it NOW". That's my problem :P
As soon as you summon Squally in game you get a quest. The Quest is to find his missing brothers and Sisters .. It only takes the time to visit 3 areas in Dragonflight to find each of them.
They are gorgeous colours and cute as heck, it's ony when I had Flash out whilst waiting for the Sha I found out that they emote around critters. I won't spoil it for you but awwwww
I do not think the Bonus Pets will be available for players who purchase Epic after launch.

Squally's Siblings
Players who have pre-ordered the Epic Editon of The War Within will be able to summon Squally from their collection to undertake the quest "Gryphons of a Feather" to seek out Squally’s three siblings—Flash, Gale, and Thundo— within the Dragon Isles to add to your battle pet collection.
They appear in your bags when you complete the quest.
Do we know if the Bonus Pets will be available for players who purchase Epic after launch? :)
After completing the quest, you have to individually click to learn the 3 new pets. They're in your bag.
i completed the quest but they haven't shown up in the pet journal
They dont show up yet in the inventory of collected pets
